Can't resolve 'https'

[tech-somish]

I have included the latest version of ipfs-api in an angular project of mine but when building the project with ng serve, I am getting this error

ERROR in ./node_modules/ipfs-api/src/utils/request.js Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'https' in 'D:\-\node_modules\ipfs-api\src\utils'

The error is generated by this line
const httpsRequest = require('https').request

if i change the https to http, it works. Node is not able to resolve https. I have https module installed for my project though.

when snooping around ipfs-api's package.json, I found that the below line is declared in browser
"http": "stream-http",

but there is nothing for https. I am not sure but i suspect that this is the reason that the error is popping up.
