I'm new to angular. I'm building a speedtest website as a side project and decided to use fast.com API. In my component.ts I've included the following:
constructor() {
const FastSpeedtest = require('fast-speedtest-api');
const speedtest = new FastSpeedtest({
token: 'myToken', // required
verbose: false, // default: false
timeout: 10000, // default: 5000
https: true, // default: true
urlCount: 5, // default: 5
bufferSize: 8, // default: 8
unit: FastSpeedtest.UNITS.Mbps, // default: Bps
proxy: 'http://optional:auth@my-proxy:123', // default: undefined
});
speedtest
.getSpeed()
.then((s) => {
console.log(`Speed: ${s} Mbps`);
})
.catch((e) => {
console.error(e.message);
});
}
But when I run ng serve
I get the following error in angular:
Failed to compile.
./node_modules/fast-speedtest-api/src/Api.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'http' in 'C:\Users\sacre\Documents\GitHub\speedtest\node_modules\fast-speedtest-api\src'
Anyone knows why this is happening?

See Github issue - Angular Integration #4
Based on that it is not supported to run this api within the browser which is where angular runs.
