Angular2: How to use on the frontend "crypto.pbkdf2Sync" function from node.js

There is a function crypto.pbkdf2Sync() in node.js API and I whant to use it in my Angular2 project.

I tried to import it and use it. Project compiles with no error, but in browser I get an error:

TypeError: webpack_require.i(...) is not a function at createHashSlow (hash.ts:4)

Here is the hash.ts module:

import { pbkdf2Sync } from 'crypto';
import { CONFIG } from '../config';

export function createHashSlow(password, salt) {
  return pbkdf2Sync(
    password,
    salt,
    CONFIG.crypto.hash.iterations,
    CONFIG.crypto.hash.length,
    'SHA1'
  ).toString('base64');
};

What did I do wrong? How to make it work?

The crypto module is based on OpenSSL that is not available in the browser

The crypto module provides cryptographic functionality that includes a set of wrappers for OpenSSL's hash, HMAC, cipher, decipher, sign and verify functions.

I suggest to use WebCryptographyApi that is available in all modern browsers. See an example here Angular JS Cryptography. pbkdf2 and iteration
