Ionic 4 - Pipe could not be found

Question

I have 2 pages to use a custom pipe. I have created a folder in src/app named pipes. And created a file pipes.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { TranslatePipe } from './translate.pipe';
@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        TranslatePipe
    ],
    imports: [],
    exports: [
        TranslatePipe
    ]
})
export class PipesModule {}

and im importing it from my first component module file devices.module.ts

import { PipesModule } from '../pipes/pipes.module';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ...
    PipesModule
  ],
  declarations: [DevicesPage, ]
})
export class DevicesPageModule {}

this component works well when i use pipe.

but i have another component too. home.module.ts

import { PipesModule } from '../pipes/pipes.module'

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    PipesModule,
    CommonModule,
    FormsModule,
    IonicModule,
    RouterModule.forChild([
      {
        path: '',
        component: HomePage
      }
    ]),
    ComponentsModule,
    MatPaginatorModule,


  ],
  declarations: [HomePage]
})
export class HomePageModule {}

im calling home page from devices page with a button. But i get error when i click the button.

pipes.module.ts;

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
//import custom pipes here
@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        TranslatePipe
    ],
    imports: [],
    exports: [
        TranslatePipe
    ]
})
export class PipesModule {}

Answer 1

I faced with same issue in ionic-V4 app. I solved my issue like this. see this code you will know. I removed pipe from app.module.ts file.

Create a new pipe using the below command:

ionic g pipe translatePipe

Then import this pipe to home.module.ts file.

import { FirstCapsPipe } from '../first-caps.pipe';

Then include it in the declarations of the home.module.ts file.

declarations: [HomePage, FirstCapsPipe]

home.html

<h2>{{data|translatePipe}}</h2>

hope it help you :)

Answer 2

1) Firstly, create pipes folder in src/app folder (in app folder).

2) Second, on cmd "ionic generate pipe pipes/searchfilter" => this will generate two files in pipes.

3 Third, create file in pipes folder with name "pipes.module.ts" and write below code to => "pipes.module.ts"

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { SearchfilterPipe } from './searchfilter.pipe';  //our pipe which we generate

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    CommonModule
  ],
  declarations: [SearchfilterPipe],
  exports: [SearchfilterPipe]
})
export class PipesModule { }

Now we have PipesModule we can generate more pipes and write them in pipesmodule. We will import only PipesModule instead of all pipes.

4) You do not have to import PipesModule in app.module.ts

5) Now go to page which you want to use pipe and open for example "anasayfa.module.ts" and import "PipesModule" and write it in @ngModel imports(it will be created automatically) Please be careful you will import PipesModule to something.MODULE.TS not something.page.ts

Ionic 4 Solution:

This is how I got custom pipe working in Ionic 4:

1. Created custom pipe in pipes folder in the app directory using: ionic g pipe plural-singular

NOTE: You can create the pipe wherever you please in your project directory, although I recommend placing it in pipes directory for the sake of organization.

2. In the module of the page where I wanted to use this pipe, I imported the pipe and specified it under providers and declarations, like so:

all.module.ts

import {PluralSingularPipe} from '../../pipes/plural-singular.pipe';

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        CommonModule,
        FormsModule,
        IonicModule,
        RouterModule.forChild(routes)
    ],
    providers: [
        PluralSingularPipe //---> Here 
    ],
    declarations: [PluralSingularPipe] //---> And here
})

3. Imported the pipe in the TS file of the page where I wanted to use the pipe, like so:

all.page.ts

import {PluralSingularPipe} from '../../pipes/plural-singular.pipe';

4. Declared the pipe in the constructor of the same page, like so:

all.page.ts

constructor(public pluralSingular: PluralSingularPipe) {}

5. Used it in my HTML file, like so:

all.page.html

{{ numberOfRecords | pluralSingular: 'coupon' : 'coupons' }}

That's it!

FOR THE CURIOUS: If it helps, here are my versions from package.json file:

"@ionic/angular": "^4.7.1",
"@angular/core": "~8.1.2",
