@angular/material/index.d.ts' is not a module

问题:

With Angular 8, While building the app, we encounter the following error:

app/modules/admin-module/pages/editor/editor.component.ts:6:27 - error TS2306: 
File ...node_modules/@angular/material/index.d.ts' is not a module.

回答1:

After upgrading to Angular 9 (released today), I ran into this issue as well and found that they made the breaking change mentioned in the answer. I can't find a reason for why they made this change.

I have a material.module.ts file that I import / export all the material components (not the most efficient, but useful for quick development). I went through and updated all my imports to the individual material folders, although an index.ts barrel might be better. Again, not sure why they made this change, but I'm guessing it has to do with tree-shaking efficiencies.

Including my material.module.ts below in case it helps anyone, it's inspired off other material modules I've found:

Seems like as this thread says a breaking change was issued:

Components can no longer be imported through "@angular/material". Use the individual secondary entry-points, such as @angular/material/button.

Update: can confirm, this was the issue. After downgrading @angular/material@9.0... to @angular/material@7.3.2 we could solve this temporarily. Guess we need to update the project for a long term solution.

回答3:

This can be solved by writing full path, for example if you want to include MatDialogModule follow:

Before: import { MatDialogModule } from "@angular/material"; //leading to error mentioned

After: import { MatDialogModule } from "@angular/material/dialog"; //works fine

回答4:

Do npm i -g @angular/material --save solve the problem
