Error: "@angular/platform-browser/platform-browser" has no exported member 'DOCUMENT'

Question

I Have updated Angular version from 7.1.3 to 8.0.0-rc.3 version. After updating the version i am getting following error, during ng build --prod command:- /@angular/platform-browser/platform-browser"' has no exported member 'DOCUMENT'.

Package.json

"typescript": "^3.4.5"
 }

Component file code is:-

import { DOCUMENT } from '@angular/platform-browser';
@Component({
selector: 'basic-dialog',
styleUrls: ['./dialog.component.scss'],
templateUrl: './dialog.component.html',
animations: [])
])
]
})
export class DialogComponent implements OnChanges, OnDestroy {
  constructor(@Inject(DOCUMENT) private document: Document, private 
  renderer: Renderer2, private element: ElementRef) {}
}

Angular team have deprecated 'DOCUMENT' from @angular/animations. Is there any way to deal with issue of getting document object. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You are importing from the wrong module. It was depreciated from the platform-browser module a few years ago.

import {DOCUMENT} from '@angular/common';
