Latest version causes errors with angular 12 / rxjs 7

[martijnhiemstra]

When I do npm install ngx-dynamic-hooks --save I get this error message:

npm ERR! While resolving: website@0.0.0

Hey there,

that's no doubt because the library has a peer dependency for rxjs 6 (which is the library's way of saying "I need this package to work" as it is the version it internally uses). Angular 12 by default doesn't yet support rxjs 7, so I haven't tested it seperately yet either, thus the peer dependency for rxjs 6.

That doesn't necessarily mean that rxjs 7 won't work, though. If you'd like to try it out, you can use use

npm install ngx-dynamic-hooks --save --force

or

npm install ngx-dynamic-hooks --save --legacy-peer-deps

instead, which should resolve the error. See also here.

Thanks for your reply. I am indeed finding out that all those nodejs dependencies are an absolute HELL. Getting the right version numbers is a real challenge.
