Cloudinary Angular-5.x is not Angular 9 compatible

[hassanasad]

Even though the release notes of 1.2.2 say that its Angular 9 compatible - i am getting following error when updating my Angular project.

Package "@cloudinary/angular-5.x" has an incompatible peer dependency to "@angular/core" (requires "^6.0.0" (extended), would install "9.1.1").

For reference: https://codesandbox.io/s/cloudinary-angular-media-library-ofmex . This one is using Angular 10 and it is compatible with the cloudinary libs. Can you please try using the same versions and test.

[hassanasad]

I believe you can replicate this issue by running: ng update @angular/cli @angular/core command. It will throw the errors i mentioned above.

@hadarbj Thanks for the information. For future reference, please note that we have an error template where you can specify more information when opening such issues.

The issue which you are describing is related to ng-update. In the meantime, can you please try using npm install to update @angular/cli @angular/core ?

[hassanasad]

@strausr Sure. Yes with NPM install it works. However each time we update Angular we use the ng-update because of any migrations etc that might be required with it. I believe this issue can be resolved by declaring the Angular version strings as a range maybe.

[hassanasad]

Some libraries do it like this:

"peerDependencies": {
    "@angular/common": ">=7.0.0",
    "@angular/core": ">=7.0.0"
  },

Perhaps you can see this for reference: https://github.com/valor-software/ngx-bootstrap/blob/development/package.json

@hassanasad Thanks for the advice and feedback:) we'll discuss this internally and update here if we decide to change anything

[bjornharvold]

Yes, please bump peer dependency to Angular 10. Have to --force an "ng update" which shouldn't be necessary.

[strausr]

@bjornharvold will be handled in the next release

@aditimadan-Cloudinary Cloudinary module is not compatible with angular 9+, the angular cloudinary library doesnt return ModuleWithProviders with a generic type.

"Angular version 9 deprecates use of ModuleWithProviders without an explicitly generic type, where the generic type refers to the type of the NgModule. In a future version of Angular, the generic will no longer be optional."

Currently can't use Cloudinary on Angular 10

@abbasogaji thank you for your feedback! Note that the Cloudinary module does return ModuleWithProviders with a generic type - https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary_angular/blob/master/projects/angular-cld/src/lib/cloudinary.module.ts#L61

ModuleWithProviders\<CloudinaryModule>

Can you please recreate the issue, and elaborate on where are you seeing different behavior? Is your version of the Cloudinary module up to date?

[abbasogaji]

I guess i installed the older version, let me try with the newer version

[abbasogaji]

@eyalktCloudinary @aditimadan-Cloudinary it works fine (v1.3.1) on Angular 10

@abbasogaji Glad to hear it's working!
