I am working with a package that uses the pdfjs-dist package, and when trying to load the component that uses it in my Storybook, I get the following error
ERROR in ./node_modules/pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.js 2267:39
Module parse failed: Unexpected token (2267:39)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type, currently no loaders are configured to process this file. See https://webpack.js.org/concepts#loaders

| async getXfa() {
> return this._transport._htmlForXfa?.children[this._pageIndex] || null;
| }

My guess, it is about handling XFA files, which are PDF files.
This is my main.js file in .storybook
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
stories: ['../components/**/*.stories.js', '../components/**/*.stories.mdx'],
addons: [
'@storybook/addon-links',
'@storybook/addon-essentials',
'storybook-dark-mode',
'storybook-addon-next-router',
],
webpackFinal: async (config, { isServer }) => {
config.resolve.modules = [path.resolve(__dirname, '..'), 'node_modules'];
config.resolve.alias = {
...config.resolve.alias,
'@': path.resolve(__dirname, '../components'),
store: path.resolve(__dirname, '../utils/stores'),
dummy: path.resolve(__dirname, '../utils/dummy'),
};
if (!isServer) {
config.node = {
fs: 'empty',
};
}
return config;
},
};

The component works swimmingly in my development server, the issue is only in Storybook. Because of that issue, it is unable to even start the storybook server. If I remove the component that uses the package, storybook loads.
The error tells me to use proper webpack configs, but I just cannot figure that one out. This is what I tried, and it didn't work. (in webpackFInal: async () => { ... )
config.module.entry['pdf.worker'] = 'pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.entry';
and
config.module.rules.push({
test: /pdf\.worker\.js$/,
type: 'asset/inline',
generator: {
dataUrl: (content) => content.toString(),
},
});
