Angular 8 ivy Error "Could not be resolved to an NgModule class"

Asked by Gert

When building an application with the DayPilot Scheduler (version: 2019.3.3903) and
"angularCompilerOptions": {
"enableIvy": true
}
in the tsconfig.app.json, I get the following error:
ERROR in ../node_modules/daypilot-pro-angular/daypilot-angular.min.d.ts:1595:22 - error TS-996002: Appears in the NgModule.imports of PlanningModule, but could not be resolved to an NgModule class
1595 export declare class DayPilotModule {

Aparently angular requires the @NgModule decorator.
So please add the @NgModule decorator.
Thanks

Hi Gert,

The DayPilotModule class is decorated with @NgModule (the decorators are not visible in the daypilot-angular.min.d.ts file - they get compiled to daypilot-angular.min.metadata.json).

DayPilot should work fine with the Ivy compiler. You can try creating a new Angular 8 project using the UI Builder (https://builder.daypilot.org) and add the "enableIvy" option to tsconfig.app.json.

This error message is a bit misleading and it sometimes appear if you upgrade an existing project to a higher Angular version.

I recommend deleting the node_modules folder and running "npm install" to reload the dependencies. If that doesn't help, it might be necessary to create a new Angular 8 project (using "ng new") and copy the source files over to this new project.

Please let me know if it doesn't help.
