I am trying to generate Angular NestJS based application using Jhipster i.e, nhipster. Below is my jhipster and nodejs version numbers:

But I am getting the below error, when I am trying to start the server:

That "URL" function at your line "56" is not imported into the typescript module properly. It is a function that comes from dom definition inside the typescript compiler. You could find a way to import it into the header-util class. Another way, and what I'd do is enable "dom" in the compiler options in the ts-config file of the server, by adding "dom" to the lib array like so:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
   /* Basic Options */
     "typeRoots": ["node_modules/@types"],
     "target": "ES2017" /* Specify ECMAScript target version: 'ES3' (default), 
     'ES5', 'ES2015', 'ES2016', 'ES2017','ES2018' or 'ESNEXT'. */,
     "module": "commonjs" /* Specify module code generation: 'none', 'commonjs', 
     'amd', 'system', 'umd', 'es2015', or 'ESNext'. */,
     "lib": [
          "es6",
          "dom"    /* <--- here you are */
     ]
     ...
     }
