Cannot compile Angular 6 with smart-table-ng

[wjbarber3]

After upgrading to Angular 6, I am unable to compile my application due to the following error:

ERROR in ./node_modules/smart-table-search/dist/bundle/index.mjs
23:36-38 Can't import the named export 're' from non EcmaScript module (only default export is available)

importing into my component as follows:

import { SmartTable, of, SortDirection } from 'smart-table-ng';

I can't find any info on how to resolve this and am wondering if you might be able to help.

try npm update or rm -r node_modules package-lock.json && npm install If the problem persists show me your packag.json and package-lock.json (the relevant part of course)

[wjbarber3]

Thanks for the reply. Tried both of those to no avail. Here's my package.json...

Difficult to say, I am not able to reproduce, have your deleted your package-lock.json? Maybe a bug with your npm ? Otherwise you can try to force smart-table-search: npm install smart-table-search@latest

[wjbarber3]

Are you recommending I try deleting my package-lock.json?

[lorenzofox3]

yes ! Then npm install If you need a minimal set up to try you can have a look at the stackblitz which compiles with all the latest versions

[wjbarber3]

Yep I tried deletedpackage-lock.json and reinstalling. What's really frustrating is that I made an exact copy of you stackblitz inside my app and I still get the same error.

[wjbarber3]

If I comment out the following lines:

const providers = [{
  provide: SmartTable, useValue: of<User>(users)
}];

Everything compiles.

[lorenzofox3]

what is you tsconfig ?

[wjbarber3]

{
  "compileOnSave": false,
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "./dist/out-tsc",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "declaration": false,
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "target": "es5",
    "typeRoots": [
      "node_modules/@types"
    ],
    "lib": [
      "es2017",
      "dom"
    ]
  },
  "include": [
    "src",
    "./node_modules/ngx-svg-icon/src/app/ngx-svg-icon/*"
  ]
}

[lorenzofox3]

try to add "module": "es2015" in your compilerOptions. The thing, is I have already seen that error but don't remember what was the cause :(

[wjbarber3]

That didn't solve it unfortunately.

[lorenzofox3]

ok I have to go now but I'll have a look

[wjbarber3]

Okay, thanks for your help.

[wjbarber3]

@lorenzofox3 If I change line 58 in smart-table-core/node_modules/smart-table-search/package.json to "module": "./dist/bundle/index.js", (rather than index.mjs) then my app compiles. I know this is obviously not the proper fix but figured it might help you remember what was causing the issue. Any recommendations?

[lorenzofox3]

Yes, but that is semantically incorrect. Would not be much of an issue here as the dependency is small (re-template-tag). That would fix an "issue" which should not be an issue. I started with fresh install and was able to reproduce. I think it comes from a regression in Angular compiler. I have seen a similar issue with an older version

[lorenzofox3]

for info: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/11527

[eenlars]

Is it possible to go back to a previous version of angular where this bug isn't present?

[Rhobal]

Looking forward to the fix in Angular!

After many futile attempts of overriding the npm dependency resolution, including tries with npm-force-resolutions, I finally edited smart-table-search's index.mjs in node_modules and removed the regexp references; now it compiles again. I don't use regexp search. And I hate the npm dependency resolution...

[lorenzofox3]

I ended up embedding re-template-tag in the bundle of smart-table-search (the author does not want to change its packaging). By updating all your dependencies, the problem should be solved. Please confirm

[Rhobal]

Fixed for me; I can compile fine with 2.0.1
