Buffer.from is not a function; Console & unit testing errors

[Arjen-1]

Hi Andrei,

We love your npm package and are using it for a while now.

Error: Buffer.from() is not a function after updating to Angular 12 & removing webpack v4.

We've encountered a bug since we've updated our application to Angular 12. This update enforces webpack v5 via a peer-dependency. And from what we found there is a problem within secure-webstore being unable to find Buffer.from() and therefore it gives this error: `Error: Buffer.from() is not a function. This error occurs in both the console as in the unit-tests.

I searched the web and found something which might be interesting. This 'Buffer' was part of webpack 4. But is removed since webpack 5. And now that we can't use webpack 4 because Angular enforces webpack v5 as a peer-dependency.

I'm not sure how webpack is related to secure-webstore and i'm not sure the issue is really in the area i've just described. I hope you know more about this issue and might know a solution.

To Reproduce Use secure-website in combination with Angular12 and make sure there is no direct dependency to webpack ( as it is a peer-dependency of @angular-devkit/build-angular )

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS : Windows ( but not important for this case i guess.
  • Browser: Chrome
  • Version of secure-webstore: latest (v1.3.5 - security updates)

Thank you again for your great package. Hope to hear from you.

Kind regards,

Arjen

Note that this is a problem in dependent lib easy-web-crypto for which there is a fix in a PR here: AKASHAorg/easy-web-crypto#17.

I've merged the upstream PR and published a new version on npm. Can you update and test again please?

Thanks for publishing the new version! However, to be able to test the fix, PR #18 must also be merged...
