Angular2+ can't load proto files

[her-m]

protobuf.js version: <6.8.6>

Hello, I'm trying to integrate Protobuf.js in my Angular 4 project. I'm following the example on the Github page and generated my .proto file. I'm stuck on trying to load my proto file which is in the same folder as my .ts file. I also tried #797 but the result is the same.

Here's a small snippet of what I'm trying to do.

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import * as protobuf from 'protobufjs';

@Injectable()

export class ProtobufService {
    constructor() {
        protobuf.configure();
    }

    start() {
        protobuf.load('./awesome.proto', function(err, root) {
    }
}

And the result I get. I tried including the relative and absolute paths and no success.

GET http://localhost:4200/awesome.proto 404 (Not Found)
ERROR Error: status 404
    at XMLHttpRequest.fetchOnReadyStateChange [as __zone_symbol__ON_PROPERTYreadystatechange] (index.js:90)

Any idea ?

Okay I resolved it.
I tried a bunch of things, Angular finds the file but I had to put it in the assets folder.

  protobuf.load(('/assets/awesome.proto'), function(err, root) {
            if (err)
                throw err;
// etc
