How to use WalletConnect with Angular app?

Question

Problem: I am trying to use WalletConnect to connect MetaMask wallet in my angular app. I have the following code to connect with the wallet. Everything runs fine until this line in the below code: await connector.createSession();

Does anyone implement WalletConnect with angular and face this issue?

Error:

Code using from WalletConnect documentation:

// Create a connector
    const connector = new WalletConnect({
      bridge: "https://bridge.walletconnect.org", // Required
      qrcodeModal: QRCodeModal,
    });

    // Subscribe to connection events
    connector.on("connect", (error, payload) => {
      if (error) {
        throw error;
      }

      // Get provided accounts and chainId
      const { accounts, chainId } = payload.params[0];
    });

    connector.on("session_update", (error, payload) => {
      if (error) {
        throw error;
      }

      // Get updated accounts and chainId
      const { accounts, chainId } = payload.params[0];
    });

    connector.on("disconnect", (error, payload) => {
      if (error) {
        throw error;
      }

      // Delete connector
    });

    // Check if connection is already established
    if (!connector.connected) {
      // create new session
      await connector.createSession();
    }

In addition to @houmn.sanati answer, I had to do some extra steps.

These are all the steps I took to fix the issue:

• Install buffer package npm install buffer
• Add this line in polyfills.ts file
• Install @types/node npm i --save-dev @types/node
• Add types to your tsconfig.json and tsconfig.app.json(if you have this file) in compilerOptions

{
  ...
  "compilerOptions": {
    ...
    "types": [
      "node"
    ]
  },
  "angularCompilerOptions": {
    ...
  }
}

• (Optional: Only If you face issue with preact package) Add this override for preact package in package.json file

"overrides": {
    "[email protected]": {
      "preact": "10.0.5"
    }
  }
