Resolving Angular Typescript lib Errors after Upgrade: A Comprehensive Guide

Upgrading an Angular project can bring a wealth of new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes. However, it can also lead to unexpected issues, especially with dependencies. Recently, a common problem emerged when upgrading from Angular 9 to 11, resulting in error messages during compilation. In this guide, we will address these issues and provide a straightforward solution to get your project back on track.

The Problem at Hand

After upgrading an Angular project to version 11, users discovered the following error when trying to compile on a different machine, which was still configured for Angular 9:

In addition to this warning, users faced critical errors that prevented proper compilation of TypeScript sources through NGC.

Key Errors Included:

TypeError regarding iterables and tslib package issues

Warnings about version mismatches in the Angular CLI

These errors can be quite frustrating, especially when you feel prepared to work with the latest version.

Analyzing the Root Cause

The primary issue here was not that Angular itself was behind but that one of its critical dependencies, tslib, was out of sync with what the project required. Although the Angular and TypeScript versions had been updated, other dependencies, particularly tslib, had not received the same attention. This results in inconsistencies that lead to errors when compiling your project.

Step-By-Step Solution

To resolve the issues and successfully compile your project, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Check Your package.json

First, verify your package.json file to see if the tslib version is specified. It’s crucial to ensure that all dependencies are compatible with Angular 11.

Open your project folder and locate the package.json.

Look for the "tslib" entry under dependencies.

Take note of the current version listed.

Step 2: Update tslib

After identifying the version, it’s time to ensure it matches the requirements for Angular 11.

Open your terminal or command prompt.

Navigate to your project directory.

Run the following command to update tslib to the latest version compatible with Angular 11:

Step 3: Clean and Rebuild the Project

Once the tslib package has been updated, it's important to clear any cached build data and rebuild the project.

Clear the cache (optional but recommended):

Step 4: Verify Your Environment

Make sure your local environment mirrors the required versions for Angular and TypeScript.

Confirm that your global Angular CLI version is compatible with your local version by running:

If there's a mismatch in CLI versions, you can update or downgrade accordingly, so they match.

Step 5: Test the Application

After the rebuild completes without errors, run your application to ensure everything works as expected.

Conclusion

Upgrading Angular projects can introduce a bit of chaos, especially with dependencies like tslib. However, by carefully updating the necessary packages and ensuring that your environment is correctly configured, you can effectively resolve issues that arise post-upgrade. Following the steps outlined in this guide will help you get your Angular application back to its running state without the nagging errors that can accompany these transitions.

Remember, keeping an eye on dependencies during upgrades is crucial to maintaining a
