Allow overriding pdfjs.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc

[Janhouse]

Could we somehow pass the value of pdfjs.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc to the component? It is currently hardcoded to a CDN and I do not want to make outside requests.

I found workaround:

1) In file node_modules/@cyntler/react-doc-viewer/dist/cjs/renderers/pdf/index.js comment line17:

react_pdf_1.pdfjs.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = "https://unpkg.com/pdfjs-dist@".concat(react_pdf_1.pdfjs.version, "/legacy/build/pdf.worker.min.js");

2) In file node_modules/@cyntler/react-doc-viewer/dist/esm/renderers/pdf/index.js comment line 12:

pdfjs.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = "https://unpkg.com/pdfjs-dist@".concat(pdfjs.version, "/legacy/build/pdf.worker.min.js");

and add after (instead of) it this line:

pdfjs.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = "/js/pdf.worker.min.js";

3) Put pdf.worker.min.js to js folder in you public folder.
pdf.worker.min.js take from CDN or from node_modules/pdfjs-dist/legacy/build/ folder.

That is not a workaround. That requires making changes to the module itself.

Yes, but it works. There is always a choice: allow external requests or do something. When external requests are not allowed, then there is no choice.

How about adding an option to this library?

[vnt-83]

I would love to, but unfortunately there is no such opportunity.

@Janhouse workerSrc has been fixed yesterday at the newest version.
