can't find DeviceDetectorModule In ngx-device-detector

Question

To install this library, run:

$ npm install ngx-device-detector --save

package.json

"ngx-device-detector": "^2.0.6",

Usage: Import DeviceDetectorModule in your app.module.ts

  import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
  import { DeviceDetectorModule } from 'ngx-device-detector';
  ...
  @NgModule({
    declarations: [
      ...
      LoginComponent,
      SignupComponent
      ...
    ],
    imports: [
      CommonModule,
      FormsModule,
      DeviceDetectorModule.forRoot()
    ],
    providers:[
      AuthService
    ]
    ...
  })

But I have an error on this line:

import { DeviceDetectorModule } from 'ngx-device-detector';

error:

TS2305: Module '"../../node_modules/ngx-device-detector/ngs-device-detector"' has no exported member 'Device Detector Module'.

Answer 1

The answer is here:

Module '"../../node_modules/ngx-device-detector/ngs-device-detector"' has no exported member 'Device Detector Module'.

It means that the library does not have the DeviceDetectorModule. You're probably using old documentation.

In the library docs it states that now you can use the service directly, without the module:

import { DeviceDetectorService } from 'ngx-device-detector';

So there is no need to use the module you're trying to use.
