Problem adding a custom component to ionic 4

I am using the command:

ionic generate component accordion-list

Then the following directory structure is created automatically:

components
-accordion-list
–accordion-list.html
–accordion-list.scss
–accordion-list.ts
components.module

So I’m trying to make a hello world with my custom component on any html page, like this:

It already includes and excludes entries for my custom component in the files: “app \ app.component.ts” and “app \ app.module.ts”.

However, I still get the following error on the console:

-------------------- Error --------------------
ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error:
Template parse errors:
‘accordion-list’ is not a known element:

  1. If ‘accordion-list’ is an Angular component, then verify that it is part of this module.

  2. If ‘accordion-list’ is a Web Component then add ‘CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA’ to the ‘@NgModule.schemas’ of this component to suppress this message. ("

What are the correct locations for referencing my custom components?

Sorry for the outburst. But for what reason the command “ionic generate component …” does not make the necessary entries. Would not it be more intuitive?

Hi @silvairsoares :wave:

Can you share the module.ts of the page that is using the <accordion-list> component? I think it’s called ClientePageModule.

Best,
Rodrigo

@silvairsoares The accordion list is in the template (HTML) of ClientePage, so you need to import in the ClientePageModule the module that declares and exports AccordionListComponent.

If you use the approach of 1 module per component (which I recommend), you would have a module AccordionListComponentModule that have AccordionListComponent in its declaration and exports it, then you could make your ClientePageModule as:

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
	ClientePage,
  ],
  imports: [
	AccordionListComponentModule,
	IonicPageModule.forChild(ClientePage),
  ],
})
export class ClientePageModule {}

If you import all your components in a ComponentsModule (which I don’t recommend), then you could make your ClientePageModule as:

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
	ClientePage,
  ],
  imports: [
	ComponentsModule,
	IonicPageModule.forChild(ClientePage),
  ],
})
export class ClientePageModule {}

I can hardly believe it worked. Thank you very much @lucasbasquerotto. I spent hours working with this seemingly simple problem.

Exactly what you said.

I created a new module only for the “accordion-list” component with the following content:

import { NgModule} from '@angular/core';
import { AccordionListComponent } from './accordion-list';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
	AccordionListComponent
  ],
  exports: [
	AccordionListComponent
  ]
})
export class AccordionListComponentModule {
}

And I imported it where I’d like to use it (ClientPageModule). Staying like this:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { IonicPageModule } from 'ionic-angular';
import { ClientePage } from './cliente';
import { AccordionListComponentModule } from '../../components/accordion-list/accordion-list.component.module';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
	ClientePage,
  ],
  imports: [
	IonicPageModule.forChild(ClientePage),
	AccordionListComponentModule
  ],
})
export class ClientePageModule {}

I am adding images to serve others who are in the same situation as mine.
