error TS2307: Cannot find module '@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap'

Question

I added NGBootstrap in angular 5 project. But after sometime it's not working and I am getting below error. Tried to resolve issue by upgrading CLI version but still issue is not resolve. Please check package.json.

ERROR in src/app/app.module.ts(5,27): error TS2307: Cannot find module '@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap'. src/app/find-product/searchtabcontent/search-by-family/search-by-family.component.ts(2,48): error TS2307: Cannot find module '@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap'

app.module.ts

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
import { NgbModule } from '@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap';

@NgModule({

Solution 1

If you have already tried to re npm install after deleting node_modules, the problem persists, and you also then double-checked that '@ng-bootstrap' is under your node_modules directory, I would proceed as follows:

• I would try first restarting the IDE, happens with Visual Studio Code and others as well...

• Also you could try this (this would be for linux):

  1. sudo npm install --save @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap
  2. cd @ng-bootstrap
  3. sudo npm install

• Make sure, in case you have more than one module, that only the app.module has the import like NgbModule.forRoot(), any other module should only have NgbModule within the import []

Hope it helps :)

Solution 2

NG Bootstrap - Angular powered Bootstrap widgets

$ npm i @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap

Angular widgets built from the ground up using only Bootstrap 4 CSS with APIs designed for the Angular ecosystem.

Working initially but after sometime again got the error.

[Javier Aviles]

did you also remove the package-lock.json?

[Santosh Shelke]

No, it's there.

[Javier Aviles]

remove it as well before re install

[Santosh Shelke]

Tried but no luck.
