Angular 11 not working with any version of ngx chess-board but worked fine with @angular/cdk: "^12.2.9",


I had angular ngx-chess-board working but now when I try to run it with angular 11, I get the version incompatible error. The ngx-chess-board supports version of cdk 10 or 13 but I am using 11. I have tried all versions of ngx-chess-board but cannot get a cannot get any version to work with my cdk version.

The Project worked fine with cdk version "@angular/cdk": "^12.2.9" but all other packages use angular 11 thus require angular cdk version 11. Is there any way I can fix this issue or satisfy both?

I get the following error:

  npm ERR! code ERESOLVE

Solution

  • Looking at the error you are having a dependency conflict with your ngx-chess-board version on the @angular/cdk package version:

     npm ERR! While resolving: [email protected]
       npm ERR! Found: @angular/[email protected]  <<< HERE
       ...
       npm ERR! peer @angular/cdk@"^10.2.5" <<< HERE
       npm ERR! node_modules/ngx-chess-board
       npm ERR!   ngx-chess-board@"2.1.18" from the root project
    

    Looking at the ngx-chess-board repo, version 2.1.8, we can see it is compatible with @angular/cdk@"^10.2.5 (angular 10.x)

    It looks like ngx-chess-board does not have a version compatible with angular 11.x.. (at least not on their repo's tags)

    I would recommend you upgrade your app to angular 13.x so you can use the latest version of ngx-chess-board (v2.2.3 as of writing), as it is compatible with angular 13.x

    Alternatively you could use this commit from ngx-chess-board, as it seems to be compatible with angular 11.
