How I remove websocket error
WebSocket connection to 'ws://localhost:8081/ws' failed.

I am using:
Angular 16.x.x
Node 16.20.1

Why is no one taking care of it? Is no one maintaining this lib anymore?

@Surajbisht15 I fixed it using the https://www.npmjs.com/package/string-replace-loader

You could include the following rule insdie your webpack config file to replace websocket function which generates the error on your client

{ test: /leaflet\.distortableimage\.js$/, use: [{ loader: 'string-replace-loader', options: { search: /var WebSocketClient =.*?(\}\);)/gs, replace: function(match) { return match.replace('this.client = new WebSocket(url);', 'this.client = {};'); }, }, }, ], },

Such a pity this wonderful library is not supported anymore. I sadly don't have the skills to fix it, but this bug makes it unusable right now...
