Updating worker file in vite for React-PDF

[JackSharpe94]

in Vite i want to provide the pdf-worker file to run react-pdf.
I found a solution posted here: #1377

so my code looks like this currently with an import from react-pdf and pdfjs-dist

import { pdfjs } from "react-pdf";
import pdfWorker from "pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.min.mjs?worker";
pdfjs.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerPort = new pdfWorker();

I am wondering if there is anyway to do this without having to install pdfjs-dist and maintain its version as a separate dependency?
I know i could get the file manually from the node_modules for the worker and copy it but is there a better way in Vite to do this that anyone is aware of - without installing pdfjs-dist ideally?

Thanks.

The more i look into this the more i think it's not a problem with react-pdf but with production NGINX serving it out.
