[8.0.1] Cannot find module 'ng-intercom'

[juliancarrivick]

Versions

• Angular: 8.2.14
• Angular CLI: 8.3.23
• ng-intercom: 8.0.1
• Node.JS: 10.15.3
• NPM: 6.9

Description

Typescript is unable to resolve the module when importing from "ng-intercom"
Repro:

• ng new ng-intercom-repro
• npm install --save ng-intercom
• Add import { IntercomModule } from "ng-intercom" and IntercomModule.forRoot({appId: ''}) to imports in app.module.ts
• ng build

ERROR in src/app/app.module.ts:5:32 - error TS2307: Cannot find module 'ng-intercom'.

5 import { IntercomModule } from "ng-intercom";
                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If I then install 8.0.0 with npm install ng-intercom@8.0.0 it then works.

@scott-wyatt – I encountered this trying to upgrade this morning, looks like the src folder was published instead of the built dist

Getting a similar issue: Cannot use namespace 'Intercom' as a type. Was on 8.0.0 beta then today it was automatically updated to 8.0.1 and now all the builds break.

The issue seems to be fact that the dist folder isn't published, while package.json claims the following:

"main": "./dist/ng-intercom.js",

The directory doesn't exist though; thus the whole module isn't properly recognized by TypeScript's resolution algorithm. The previous version of this package (8.0.0) had a different folder structure altogether, with proper mappings provided in package.json. Simply reverting back to 8.0.0 fixed the issue.

@scott-wyatt, @wbhob – I appreciate your work on this package, and again, I hate to nag, but when can we expect to have this resolved? As far as I can see this just needs republishing using the correct dist directory.

Hi all, forgot to read my own documentation, I apologize for that. Typically the CI/CD takes care of publishing, but there is an unrelated to the library error that is making the tests fail, and we are pretty swamped. I'll be publishing 8.0.2 in a few moments.
