angular 6 ERROR ReferenceError: "process is not defined" with elasticsearch js

Before everything, I read:

question 1 regarding process is not defined

question 2 regarding process is not defined

angular 5 question

browser build info

And none of the presented info helped. I'm using Angular 6 and I want to send query to elasticsearch, using elasticsearch js. I installed elasticsearch, elastic types and elastic browser like so:

npm install elasticsearch
npm install @types/elasticsearch
npm install elasticsearch-browser

I tried installing with --save, with --save-dev and without, to no avail.

Then I created a new project with angular cli:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Client } from "elasticsearch";

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `
<script src="/node_modules/elasticsearch/src/elasticsearch.js"></script>
  <div class="container">
  <div class="row">
      <button type="" (click)="onSendElastic()">Click Me!</button>
  </div>
</div>`,
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {

  elClient: Client

  onSendElastic(){
    console.log('clicked on send elstic');
    this.connect()
    let res = this.elSearch()
    console.log(`res: ${res}`);

  }

  connect(){
    console.log('start connect...');

    this.elClient = new Client({
      host:"http://elasticIp:9200",
      log:"trace"
    })
    this.elClient.ping({
      requestTimeout:2000
    },(err)=>{
      if(err){
        console.log('err');
      }
      else{
        console.log('everything is ok');

      }
    })
  }

  elSearch(){
    console.log('start search...');

    return this.elClient.search({
      index:"elastic_index",
      type:"doc",
      body:{
        "query":{
          "term":{
            "field1":"true"
          }
        }
      }
    })
  }
}

I added the <script> tag because some answers that I found suggested this, but it didn't helped.

The format of is taken from: https://www.npmjs.com/package/elasticsearch. When I start the project, by running ng start or npm start, When I press the button I get:

clicked on send elstic; start connect...

I found a reference to using elasticsearch browser, but installing it dosn't seem to do anything. The info in the browser-bould page refrences angularjs, not angular 2, so I'm stuck.

Why this error is happening? How to solve it?

We found that the last solution in this thread worked for us:

Specifically:

 npm i -S process, then add this to polyfill.ts:
 import * as process from 'process';
 window['process'] = process;
