Compilation warnings upon app start

[sdornan]

I'm getting two warnings when starting an angular-cli app using the newest version of angular (5.0.5):

I have the same problem. A temporary fix for me is, deleting the node_modules folder in the angular-spinners module. But this is just a temporary fix for me, because when have a build chain or something else, it is very hacky to modify the build scripts to delete this folder. For creating the build i use: angular/cli: 1.6.5 angular 5.2.1 Node v9.4.0

So i solved the problem by replacing this dependency with a fork of this project. I used this updated fork: https://github.com/JoeSong/angular-spinners Just do: npm install --save https://github.com/JoeSong/angular-spinners/master

maybe remove the node_modules folder and the package-lock.json first, then update the dependency and do an npm install. After that the warnings should be gone.
