Migrating from Cordova to Capacitor

Question

Hello i 've decided to migrate from Cordova to Capacitor on my Ionic/Angular project. I have created a new capacitor project following the instructions https://capacitorjs.com/docs/v2/getting-started/with-ionic

Now i have installed some plugins as you may see on the screenshot i attached.

I copy paste the app folder from my cordova project to my new capacitor app folder.

Obviously i am getting errors for the modules as you may see in the attached screenshot.

I don't expect anyone to solve me those, but can someone write me what will the next steps i should do? Tracking down node_modules one by one? Any suggestions will help me i am sure.

Here is the app.module.ts

Look at https://capacitorjs.com/cordova

also https://ionicframework.com/docs/intro/upgrading-to-ionic-6

Your old plugin supports only cordova, you need to remove an old plugin and install a new plugin one by one.

# Remove a Cordova plugin
npm uninstall cordova-plugin-name
npx cap sync

# Delete Cordova folders and files
rm config.xml
rm -R platforms/ plugins/

For installing a new plugin, see e.g. https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/splash-screen
