EXCEPTION: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot find module 'app/home/home.module'

Question

I'm trying to lazy load Angular 2 modules with the router, and I'm having this error:

error_handler.js:50 EXCEPTION: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot find module 'app/home/home.module'

I tried all the answers that seems to be working for the others, like this one which seems to be a solution for everybody facing this issue, but doesn't work with me Lazy loading in Angular2 RC7 and angular-cli webpack

here is my code:app.module

import { MediatorService } from './home/mediator.service';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';


import appRoutes from "./app.routes";


@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    HttpModule,
    appRoutes
  ],
  providers: [MediatorService],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

app.routes

import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';

const routes = [
 {path : '', loadChildren: './home/home.module#HomeModule'},
 {path: 'devis', loadChildren: './forms/forms.module#FormsModule'}
];

export default RouterModule.forRoot(routes);

home.module

import {NgModule} from "@angular/core";
import {CommonModule} from "@angular/common";
import homeRoutes from "./home.routes";

@NgModule({
  imports:[CommonModule, homeRoutes],
  declarations: [HomeComponent]
})
export default class HomeModule{}

home.routes

import {RouterModule} from "@angular/router";
import {HomeComponent} from "./home.component";
const routes = [
  {path: '', component: HomeComponent}
];

export default RouterModule.forChild(routes);

UPDATE

I managed to make it work on plunker

but still nothing on my machine !!!!

UPDATE

I installed a new virtual machine ubuntu 16.04 and I have the same problem! Could it be because of the versions of the modules, I mean those on package.json? How can I find out the versions used in plunker because it worked on there.

Answer 1

For Angular 8 and 9, the lazy load declaration changed. Since Angular 8 introduced the new recommended module loading method, previously the default method of lazy loading modules was to specify a string path to a module:

{ path: 'auth', loadChildren: 'src/app/auth/auth.module#AuthModule' }

The method of importing modules has changed to dynamic import. The dynamic import is promise-based and gives you access to the module, where the module’s class can be called. Thus your import should now be changed to:

  { path: 'auth', loadChildren: () => import('src/app/auth/auth.module').then(m => m.AuthModule) }

Answer 2

You need to change your app-routing.module.ts in import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';

const routes = [
 {path : '', loadChildren: () => import('./home/home.module').then(m => m.HomeModule) },
 {path: 'devis', loadChildren: () => import('./forms/forms.module').then(m => m.FormsModule) }
];

Answer 3

I landed on this question with very similar symptoms and context, so it seems useful to remark that this answer to another question helped me out.

In my specific case, I was somewhat following the lazy feature modules docs, and I even faithfully tried to replicate the associated StackBlitz example code. For some reason that example gets away with:

loadChildren: 'app/customers/customers.module#CustomersModule'

And even though my Angular CLI (v6) based experiment had similar folder structure, I needed to do either this:

// Full path including `src` at the start:
loadChildren: 'src/app/customers/customers.module#CustomersModule'

or this:

// Relative path from the `app-routing.module.ts` file:
loadChildren: './customers/customers.module#CustomersModule'

No clue why the StackBlitz example gets away with the first code example, but the other two both make sense and work for me when doing ng serve.
