Ionic 4: Object(…) is not a function

Ionic Native
1

Hi,

I’m having some troubles when running ionic serve . The page stays blank and I get the following in my console.

index.js:739 Uncaught TypeError: Object(...) is not a function
    at index.js:739
    at Object../node_modules/@ionic-native/onesignal/index.js (index.js:1021)

import { OneSignal } from "@ionic-native/onesignal";

providers: [
        ...
        OneSignal,
        ...
    ]

What is the problem? I found this error every time I try to install a @ionic-native plugin

Only the 7 or 8 times I give the exact same answer on the forum…anyhow use /ngx with Ionic Native v5-beta

import { OneSignal } from "@ionic-native/onesignal/ngx";

@reedrichards I have "@ionic-native/core": "5.0.0-beta.15"

If I use import { OneSignal } from "@ionic-native/onesignal/ngx"; I receive the following error : Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '@ionic-native/onesignal/ngx'

As always, did you inject it as a provider in your app.module ?

5

yes, I did

import { OneSignal } from "@ionic-native/onesignal/ngx";

providers: [
        ...
        OneSignal,
        ...
    ]

Mmmh should work, I double checked there is an implementation https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-native/blob/v5/src/%40ionic-native/plugins/onesignal/index.ts

Did you also npm install @ionic-native/core/beta?

P.S.: I just link this issue because I guess there are related Onesignal not work in ionic 4

no , I don’t have @ionic-native/core/beta , I cannot find this package and npm install @ionic-native/core/beta doesn’t work.

If use you Ionic v4, use should strictly only use ionic native v5 beta. In your package.json I see that one signal is on v4.12.2 which is not correct, you should upgrade it to v5.0.0-beta.15

Ohh thank you, didn’t notice that… You saved me with this. I had that problem with many plugins.

I upgraded to v5.0.0-beta.15 and now I could import OneSignal from @ionic-native/onesignal/ngx and declare it into my providers … I will go further with the implementation, hope it will work.

Thank you again and have a nice day

Cool happy to hear it worked out

I tried the following:

import { PayPal } from '@ionic-native/paypal/ngx';

I get the following response:

Cannot find module '@ionic-native/paypal/ngx'

My package is set to:

"@ionic-native/core": "5.0.0-beta.15"

I have also tried to add it as a provider in my app.module.ts but it’s the same problem:

import { PayPal } from '@ionic-native/paypal/ngx';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  entryComponents: [],
  imports: [BrowserModule, IonicModule.forRoot(), AppRoutingModule],
  providers: [
    StatusBar,
    SplashScreen,
    PayPal,
    { provide: RouteReuseStrategy, useClass: IonicRouteStrategy }
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

Did I do that wrong?

Ok, got it.
I had to manually go into package.json and update the paypal to the beta version:

"@ionic-native/paypal": "5.0.0-beta.15",

then run npm install. Seems to work now.
