No suitable injection token for parameter 'splashScreen' of class 'AppComponent'

Ionic Framework Ionic Angular

Hello,
I have been trying to compile with the capacitor splash screen in Angular and no matter what I do i get the following errors.

I am hoping someone can tell me what is going on.

Error: src/app/app.component.ts:21:13 - error NG2003: No suitable injection token for parameter ‘splashScreen’ of class ‘AppComponent’.

  • Consider using the @Inject decorator to specify an injection token.*
  • 21 private splashScreen: SplashScreen*
  •                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~*
  • This type does not have a value, so it cannot be used as injection token.*

This is my code …

import { SplashScreen } from ‘@capacitor/splash-screen’;
.
.
.
export class AppComponent {
constructor(
private platform: Platform,
private authService: AuthService,
private router: Router,
private splashScreen: SplashScreen
) {
this.splashScreen.show();
this.initializeApp();
}

These are my dependencies …

Don’t do

private splashScreen: SplashScreen
...
this.splashScreen.show();

Just do SplashScreen.show();

Also, if it’s the app start, you don’t need to call show at all, just call hide when the app is initialized.

Thank you, Julio.

After a long hiatus, I have been taking a course to get back into Android development. The course I am taking is excellent, but in need of an update, especially with the native section. I am learning to read the plugin documentation in the capacitor documentation.
