ngx-scanner v.3.6.2 is not compatible with Angular 13

[rvalitov]

I could update ngx-scanner via npm from version 3.4.2 to 3.6.2. But when I try to build the project I get an error, that the module requires Angular 14 only:

./node_modules/@zxing/ngx-scanner/fesm2015/zxing-ngx-scanner.mjs - Error: Module build failed (from ./node_modules/@angular-devkit/build-angular/src/babel/webpack-loader.js):
TypeError: Cannot create property 'message' on string 'C:\git\TicketingApp-pwa\src\pwa\node_modules\@zxing\ngx-scanner\fesm2015\zxing-ngx-scanner.mjs: This application depends upon a library published using Angular version 14.0.2, which requires Angular version 14.0.0 or newer to work correctly.
Consider upgrading your application to use a more recent version of Angular.

Testing dependencies tree:

> npm view ngx-scanner dependencies
{ tslib: '^1.9.0' }

To use ngx-scanner Angular 13 in dependencies use version 3.5.0:

"@zxing/ngx-scanner": "3.5.x"

I wanted to make a PR, but I see nothing wrong with the project.json. Could it be that the module did not upload properly to npm?

I works fine for me, I am using Angular 14.2.1

Can build, deploy and run the scanner without issues.

Mine is working perfectly fine on the latest version of angular.

Got no issues at all

I'm talking about Angular 13. Not 14!

@rvalitov I understand, but I assumed it would be helpful for others than you to know that it seems to be working with newer versions.

Can I ask why you don't just upgrade Angular to v14?
