安装 ng-bootstrap

Question

I am trying to install the ng-bootstrap package in my app.

I have updated all of my npm packages using npm i as well as updating the @angular/core and @angular/cli modules to the latest version.

However, when I try the command npm install --save @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap , I get the following dependency error:

How do I interpret this message and solve the error?

Answer 1

From the official page, the recommended command is:

// Installation for Angular CLI
ng add @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap

Try that instead of npm install

Answer 2

I always prefer to use the CDN instead of adding another package. I don't really know if it is the best way to do it, but for me it is okay.

Inside your main index.html file, in the head tag:

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.1.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

And at the end of the body:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.1.3/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>

Answer 3

Okay, so I found a solution.

1. Run an npm update to update all your node packages
2. Verify the version of angular with ng --version . As of the date of publication of this response, my version is:

Angular CLI: 13.3.7
Node: 16.13.1
Package Manager: npm 8.6.0
OS: win32 x64
Angular: 13.3.10
@angular-devkit/schematics      13.3.7
@angular/cli                    13.3.7
@schematics/angular             13.3.7
rxjs                            7.5.5
typescript                      4.6.4

4. Delete your node_modules folder.
5. Open package.json and make sure that the devDependencies match those of the installed angular cli
6. Run npm i
7. Install ng-boostrap: ng add @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap

Lastly you will need to install the Popper dependency if you count on installing the latest version (12.0.0 or above) of ng-bootstrap.

You can find more information on compatibility among the different versions of ng-bootstrap and the Angular CLI on the ng-bootstrap website .
