Angular 6: Error: Module Not Found

[zbayoff]

When serving the angular application using Angular 6 CLI, the app fails to compile, giving the following error message:

ERROR in node_modules/angular-typing-animation/typing-animation.directive.d.ts(3,10): error TS2305: Module '"..../node_modules/rxjs/Observable"' has no exported member 'Observable'.
node_modules/angular-typing-animation/typing-animation.directive.d.ts(4,10): error TS2305: Module '"....node_modules/rxjs/Subscription"' has no exported member 'Subscription'.
node_modules/rxjs/Observable.d.ts(1,15): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'rxjs-compat/Observable'.
node_modules/rxjs/Subscription.d.ts(1,15): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'rxjs-compat/Subscription'.

This can be solved by changing line 3 in the typing-animation.directive.js file from:
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';

to simply:

import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

AND changing lines 3 and 4 in typing-animation.directive.d.ts from:

import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs/Subscription';

to

import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs';

I know this is an old thread but the solutions mostly worked, I've still got:

Error: Failed to initialize Angular compilation - The target entry-point "angular-typing-animation" has missing dependencies:

• rxjs/Observable

I made the changes you had made and it just seems like there's a fourth /Observable, if anyone has kept up to date please let me know. Thank you!

EDIT:
Found the answer to my own question, in the current build find you still have to have to do what the original post says, but there's also a "bundle" folder with:

angular-typing-animation.umd
angular-typing-animation.umd.min

Files. Go into both of these and search for "rxjs/Observable" and remove the Observable as with everything else. For the .umd it should be ln2-3, but for the .min file you'll need to use the search option.
