Alert missing present?

Ionic Framework
1

I’m learning Ionic and Angular. Currently woking on a todo list app. I created a updateTask button. When I click on the button, alert.present is not a funktion? Am I missing something?

constructor(public navCtrl: NavController, public alertCtrl: AlertController) {
}

async updateTask(index) {
	let alert = this.alertCtrl.create({
		title: 'Update Task',
		message: 'type to update',
		inputs: [{name: 'editTask', placeholder: 'Task'}],
		buttons:[{text: "Cancel", role: 'cancel'},
				{text: "Update", handler: data => {
					this.taskList[index] = data.editTask;
				}
				}
				]
	});
	await alert.present();
}

Especially if you’re just getting started, I would suggest completely avoiding async/await. I think they make understanding asynchronous JavaScript, which is already quite rickety to begin with, substantially more difficult. If you get rid of them here, I think what is causing your error will become self-evident.
