Cause :

The error message suggests that there is a problem with the initialization of the digital envelope routines in the OpenSSL library. This could be caused by various factors, such as incompatible versions of dependencies, misconfigurations, or issues with the cryptographic functions used in your Angular project.

Solution:

Step 1: Open your “package.json”.

Step2: Search for “Script” :

before

Step3:Update this “start” and “build” with the following and save:

 "start": "set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider && react-scripts start",
 "build": "set NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider && react-scripts build",

After

Now run the react app using: npm start

Running

Done✅

Warning ⚠️ : setting NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider can solve the immediate error, it's important to investigate the root cause and consider more permanent solutions to ensure the security and stability of your application
