    Hi all,

    I'm trying to use the PureCloud Platform API in an Angular 10 application but I'm not able to import the library. I've tried the steps as specified in the article: https://developer.mypurecloud.com/forum/t/how-to-use-javascript-with-angular-8/5937 but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Any idea how to get load the library in Angular 10?

    Regards, Tom

    Hi Tom,

    Can you post the error message you are getting? Is it the same error message you are getting as described in the [https://developer.mypurecloud.com/forum/t/how-to-use-javascript-with-angular-8/5937](http://How to use Javascript in Angular 8)?

    Thanks, John

    Actually nevermind.

    For interested people:

    packages.json

    { "name": "<project-name>", "version": "0.0.0", "scripts": { "ng": "ng", "start": "ng serve", "build": "ng build", "test": "ng test", "lint": "ng lint", "e2e": "ng e2e" }, "private": true, "dependencies": { "@angular/animations": "10.0.9", "@angular/common": "10.0.9", "@angular/compiler": "10.0.9", "@angular/core": "10.0.9", "@angular/forms": "10.0.9", "@angular/platform-browser": "10.0.9", "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "10.0.9", "@angular/router": "10.0.9", "purecloud-platform-client-v2": "88.0.0", "rxjs": "6.5.5", "tslib": "^2.0.0", "zone.js": "0.10.3" }, "devDependencies": { "@angular-builders/custom-webpack": "^10.0.0", "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "0.1000.6", "@angular/cli": "10.0.6", "@angular/compiler-cli": "10.0.9", "@types/jasmine": "3.5.0", "@types/jasminewd2": "2.0.3", "@types/node": "^12.11.1", "codelyzer": "^6.0.0", "jasmine-core": "3.5.0", "jasmine-spec-reporter": "5.0.0", "karma": "5.0.0", "karma-chrome-launcher": "3.1.0", "karma-coverage-istanbul-reporter": "3.0.2", "karma-jasmine": "3.3.0", "karma-jasmine-html-reporter": "^1.5.0", "protractor": "7.0.0", "ts-node": "8.3.0", "tslint": "6.1.0", "typescript": "~3.9.5" } }

    angular.json (excerpt) {

    "$schema": "./node_modules/@angular/cli/lib/config/schema.json",

    "version": 1,

    "newProjectRoot": "projects",

    "projects": {

    "<project-name>": {

    ...

    "architect": {

    "build": {

    "builder": "@angular-builders/custom-webpack:browser",

    "options": {

    "customWebpackConfig":{

    "path": "./extra-webpack.config.js",

    "mergeStrategies": { "externals": "prepend" }

    },

    ...

    "scripts": [

    "node_modules/purecloud-platform-client-v2/dist/web-cjs/purecloud-platform-client-v2.js"

    ]

    ...

    "serve": {

    "builder": "@angular-builders/custom-webpack:dev-server",

    "options": {

    "browserTarget": "<project-name>:build"

    },

    "configurations": {

    "production": {

    "browserTarget": "<project-name>:build:production"

    }

    }

    },

    And extra-webpack.config.js:

    module.exports = {

    externals: {

    platformClient: "require('platformClient')"

    }

    };

    Finally when you want to import in your ts:

    import * as platformClient from 'platformClient';

    Hi,

    Thanks for your response and solution! I had a different solution but yours seems better.

    I was wasting too much time on the project and started to use the REST API instead. So getting the API to work with Angular wasn't a priority anymore and was more a personal struggle.
