Compilation fails due to missing generic type

[johnnygerard]

The compilation error is related to a deprecated API: ModuleWithProviders type without a generic.

Angular error:

Error: node_modules/imagekitio-angular/imagekitio-angular/imagekitio-angular.module.d.ts:4:52 - 
error NG6005: ImagekitioAngularModule.forRoot returns a ModuleWithProviders type without a generic type argument.
Please add a generic type argument to the ModuleWithProviders type.
If this occurrence is in library code you don't control, please contact the library authors.

4     static forRoot(config: ImageKitConfiguration): ModuleWithProviders;

TypeScript error:

Error: node_modules/imagekitio-angular/imagekitio-angular/imagekitio-angular.module.d.ts:4:52 - 
error TS2314: Generic type 'ModuleWithProviders<T>' requires 1 type argument(s).

4     static forRoot(config: ImageKitConfiguration): ModuleWithProviders;

For additional context, I ran into this issue while following the Angular quick start guide.

Environment
Angular CLI: 16.0.0
Node: 18.16.0

[endersaka]

I can confirm same error:

npm start

> smartphotocropper@0.0.0 start
> ng serve

× Failed to compile.

[endersaka]

From further investigation I found this page ModuleWithProviders Migration, though, honestly I am not so familiar with Angular framework and so I don't know if I would be able to fix it myself in a reasonable time frame.

I tried to compile stefanodenti's fork with no success.

npm run build

Forget the above comment. It was something wrong in the PATH that caused WSL Ubuntu to run the ng installed on Windows. Though I still have problems.

After creating an NVM ambient with Node 14.* and ng 1.4.* (as described in DEVELOPMENT.md) I executed ng --version and got.

ng --version
Node.js version v14.21.3 detected.
The Angular CLI requires a minimum of v16.13.

Please update your Node.js version or visit https://nodejs.org/ for additional instructions.
