ngx-popper not working after install

[ferlolo]

Enviroments:
Node version 16.20.0
Angular version 16

After install popper.js and ngx-popper , i try import NgxPopperModule in my app.module.ts and throw an error like that.

I see in the node_module that by comparing with other projects some folder are missing.
Some solutions?

Regards

Hi Ferlolo,

ngx-popper does not support Angular 16 due to its lack of Ivy compilation support and the removal of ngcc support. Furthermore, considering that the last release of ngx-popper was made four years ago, it is unlikely that it will be updated to support Angular 16.

In this situation, we have two potential options:

Switch to ngx-popperjs: Since ngx-popperjs is an actively maintained library and compatible with newer versions of Angular, you can consider migrating your code to ngx-popperjs. However, please note that the usage of ngx-popperjs differs from ngx-popper, so you will need to make changes to adapt to the new library's API and components.

Make ngx-popper Ivy-compatible: Alternatively, you can attempt to make ngx-popper compatible with Ivy by performing the necessary updates and modifications to its codebase. However, this option would require a deep understanding of Angular's Ivy compilation process and the internal workings of ngx-popper. It may involve refactoring and updating the library's code to comply with Ivy's requirements.

I am confident that the first option is the better choice.
