I created a modal page according to the documentation: [https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/modal](https://ionicframework.com/docs/api/modal)

In particular, I import the modal controller with

```auto
import {ModalController} from 'ionic-angular';

```

declare it in the constructor’s arguments with

```auto
constructor(private modalCtrl: ModalController) 

```

and create the close modal function, which binds a back button, with:

```auto
  dismiss() {
    // using the injected ModalController this page
    // can "dismiss" itself and optionally pass back data
    this.modalCtrl.dismiss({
      'dismissed': true
    });
  }

```

The dismiss word is underlined and the message that appears is “Property ‘dismiss’ does not exist on type ‘ModalController’” . Did I miss something?

You have a error, change the import for this

```auto
import { ModalController } from '@ionic/angular';

```
