Error using jsonwebtoken: global is not defined

[DiegoZumarragaLS]

Description

I'm just trying to create a jwt token using jsonwebtoken version 8.5.1. When I run my web application in a browser I get this error: Uncaught ReferenceError: global is not defined

The error is in this file: browser.js specifically on line 16 var crypto = global.crypto || global.msCrypto

Here are some prints:

Reproduction

Here is the code I'm using

import * as jwt from 'jsonwebtoken';

export class TokenGenerator {
    generateToken(secret: string, user: string, scope: string): string {
        try {

            var secretKey = secret;

            const token = jwt.sign({ user, scope }, secretKey, { expiresIn: '1h' });

            return token;
        } catch (error) {
            // Handle the error here
            console.error('Error generating token:', error);
            throw error;
        }
    }
}

Environment

• Version of this library used: 8.5.1

• Version of the platform or framework used, if applicable: NodeJS 20.11.1, typescript 4.9.3

• Other relevant versions (language, server software, OS, browser): powerbi-visuals-tools 5.3.0

• Other modules/plugins/libraries that might be involved: I'm not using Angular or React nor any other web framework

Your issue is that you're transpiling/compiling with webpack with enabled polyfills.
