Cannot find module '@angular/core' when using cordova-plugin-file-opener2

Ionic Framework Ionic React

I installed cordova-plugin-file-opener2 plugin using capacitor according to the instruction here and imported it with

import { FileOpener } from '@ionic-native/file-opener/ngx';

and no more code.
when I run it, it says:

Error: Cannot find module '@angular/core'

I’m using ionic 5 with react.
and actually it does not let me sync and it says:

Cannot find module: '@angular/core'. Make sure this package is installed.
You can install this package by running: npm install @angular/core.

should I install @angular/core ? why should I install angular when I don’t use it anymore?

I’ve never used React, but can’t help noticing that there is a “Using React? Click here” link in the documentation you linked to, and it does not have an /ngx at the end of its import.

Oh! That is right! LOL . I should have imported it without /ngx at the end. Thank you
