Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'faker'

[ZeevKatz]

After the last version update (2.1.14), I'm receiving an error about faker.

Here is the exception:

ERROR in <path>/node_modules/ngx-jsonapi/ngx-jsonapi/@ngx-jsonapi/ngx-jsonapi.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'faker' in '<path>/node_modules/ngx-jsonapi/ngx-jsonapi/@ngx-jsonapi'

Yeah, I am experiencing this as well. Looks like the latest release (Not shown in releases tab) has the export of the test factory which relies on faker in the DEV dependency bundle.

https://github.com/reyesoft/ngx-jsonapi/blob/2703fd23bdd2380feffe9888ded66a7a5dac7422/src/public_api.ts

I am curious as to why ANY of the test modules are being included in the public api definition.

I am assuming this was a mistake. I had to move back to 2.1.12 for this library to work with Angular 8 in the mean time.

We exported the test modules so we can use them to test other apps... I'll try to export the test modules separately to avoid this issue. Thanks for reporting!

2.1.15 - the issue is still present

[ap1969]

Confirmed - also on v2.1.15 with this issue.

Still seeing this as well - 2.1.15

Temp workaround in local dev has been to save faker as a dev dependency.
