I just updated to latest Ionic 2.2.0 and local Storage stopped working - so I’m attempting to move everything to using IonicStorageModule. I have followed the instructions at [https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-storage/releases/tag/v2.0.0](https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-storage/releases/tag/v2.0.0) but the methods get, set, remove, etc. are all reporting that they don’t exist.

In my modules I do stuff like:

```
import { IonicStorageModule } from '@ionic/storage';

constructor(public navCtrl: NavController, 
              public local_storage: IonicStorageModule) {}

someCode () {
   this.local_storage.set('login_user', email).then(() => {...
}

```

The errors I see are similar to:

```
[12:22:16] typescript: src/pages/login/login.ts, line: 251 
            Property 'set' does not exist on type 'IonicStorageModule'. 

```

Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

`IonicStorageModule` is only for importing into your app module. When using it, one just injects the `Storage` provider, not the module.

Thanks. I was there originally. Went back to that - and now I’m seeing:

`Can't resolve all parameters for Storage: (?).`

The stack looks like:

Please double-check that you actually did follow all the instructions in the link you mentioned in your first post. Specifically, make sure that you took `Storage` out of your AppModule’s `providers`.

Yes, followed those instructions.

My imports:

```
 imports: [
    IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp),
    AngularFireModule.initializeApp (firebaseConfig, authConfig),
    IonicStorageModule.forRoot()
  ],

```

My providers:

```
  providers: [{provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler}, 
              {provide: Globals, useClass: Globals}, 
              {provide: ActivityTracker, useClass: ActivityTracker}]

```

Where I’m using Storage (such as in my login.ts module) I import it as:

`import { Storage } from '@ionic/storage';`

Is it possible you’re declaring `Storage` in a providers array of some other module or component? I just tried this with a scratch project and everything worked fine. If I add `Storage` to the `providers` array of the app module, I see the same error you are encountering.

Thank you. I _did_ discover a buried provider referencing Storage - and removed it. Now to fix an ion-split-panel issue… which I just discovered is now called ion-split-pane… 😉
