Error: Cannot find module "crypto" with Next.js 14 and Node 20.10.0

[thanapat-civicledger]

When attempting to initialize hashconnect in a Next.js 14 (Typescript) application, my application fails to compile, returning the error Cannot find module "crypto". This issue occurs during both npm run dev and npm run build.

To Reproduce: Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Setup a Next.js 14 project. Implement the hashconnect initialization as follows:

async function initWalletConnect() {
    const connection = new HashConnect(LedgerId.TESTNET, walletConnectProjectId, appMetadata, true);

    connection.pairingEvent.on((newPairing) => {
        setWalletData(newPairing);
    });

    connection.connectionStatusChangeEvent.on((state) => {
        setConnectionState(state);
    });

    connection.disconnectionEvent.on((data) => {
        setWalletData(null);
    });

    await connection.init();

    setHashConnect(connection);
}

Run the application. Expected behavior: The application compiles without errors, and hashconnect initializes correctly, allowing for wallet connection functionalities.

Environment:

OS: macos 14.0 Browser: Chrome Version of Next.js: 14.1.4 Version of Node.js: 20.10.0 Version of hashconnect: 3.0.13

This issue is due to the transitive dependency version of the hedera-wallet-connect library. This problem, documented in #190, was resolved in version 1.3.2 of HWC and addressed in this PR. However, hashconnect version 3.0.13 uses version 1.0.6 of HWC, which still contains the issue.

To resolve the issue, I overrode the dependency version in my package.json.

{
  ...
  "dependencies": {
    "hashconnect": "^3.0.13",
    "next": "14.2.5",
  },
  "overrides": {
    "hashconnect": {
      "@hashgraph/hedera-wallet-connect": "^1.3.2"
    }
  }
}
