How do I fix " NullInjectorError: No provider for InjectionToken @ngrx/router-store Configuration!" after upgrading to ngrx v8 on my Angular project?

Question

I just upgraded a project from Angular 6 (and ngrx 6) to Angular 8. I tried to follow the migration guide for Angular 8, and was able to get everything to build, but ended up getting this error when I run it:

Answer 1

After a bit of Googling (without finding the direct answer) I re-read the ngrx upgrade guide, and it had this nugget:

Usage of forRoot is now required for StoreRouterConnectingModule

BEFORE:

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    StoreRouterConnectingModule
  ]
})
export class AppModule {}

AFTER

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    StoreRouterConnectingModule.forRoot() // <-- gotta do this
  ]
})
export class AppModule {}

I fixed this in my AppModule, and that did the trick!

Note to self: next time read all the parts of the migration guide.
