Problem adding plugins on my Project -TS2345

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
#1

Hello everyone .

I am trying to follow this tutorial :

And when I’ve added the Geolocation plugin, I imported that on my app.module.ts like this I get error : TS2345

import {Geolocation} from “@ionic-native/geolocation”;

and in my provider :

providers: [
StatusBar,
SplashScreen,
{provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler},
Geolocation
]

Package.json information :

“ionic-angular”:“3.9.2”,
“cordova-plugin-geolocation”:“4.0.1”,

The error is : http://prntscr.com/mdscwj

Ionic cli version is : 4.8.0

I’ve tried:

  1. downgrade you cli npm install -g ionic@4.8.0 , because I’ve had 4.9.0 first

Any idea ?

Thank you ind advance

You have to install the Cordova plugin and the Ionic Native wrapper module as well. Check that both are included in your package.json

Since a new version of Ionic Native was just released with Ionic 4, I think you need to include a version # when installing the wrapper. Otherwise, it will pull in Ionic Native 5.

Open your package.json and see what the version #'s are for the StatusBar and SplashScreen. You can use that to install the proper version.

I was facing the same issue, because of the update of ionic 4 compatiable plugin in @ ionic-native github repo. You need to install older version using: npm install --save @ ionic-native /plugin_of_your_choice@4.20.0

Remember - dont play with the number after, go to the repo and check for versions, and install accordingly. I

I was facing the same issue, and it stopped after i followed the above mentioned solution. You can also see this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54361396/ionic-3-error-install-native-plugin-after-ionic-4-release

Thank you for your reply . I’ve solved the problem with that although the ionic web page said :

To use a plugin, import and add the plugin injectable to a @NgModule. For Angular, the import path should end with /ngx.

Be careful with documentation because we have to read documentation about ionic 3
