[angular] error TS1086: An accessor cannot be declared in an ambient context in Angular 9

I'm learning Angular Material and I'm getting this error when importing { MatButtonModule } from "@angular/material/button".

From what I read in other answers, it looks like package compatibility issues but I couldn't fix it.

Here's the full error

This question is related to angular angular-material

The answer is


These issue arise generally due to mismatch between @ngx-translate/core version and Angular .Before installing check compatible version of corresponding ngx_trnalsate/Core, @ngx-translate/http-loader and Angular at https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ngx-translate/core

Eg: For Angular 6.X versions,

npm install @ngx-translate/core@10 @ngx-translate/http-loader@3 rxjs --save

Like as above, follow below command and rest of code part is common for all versions(Note: Version can obtain from( https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ngx-translate/core)

npm install @ngx-translate/core@version @ngx-translate/http-loader@version rxjs --save

I solved the same issue by following steps:

Check the angular version: Using command: ng version My angular version is: Angular CLI: 7.3.10

After that I have support version of ngx bootstrap from the link: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ngx-bootstrap

In package.json file update the version: "bootstrap": "^4.5.3", "@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap": "^4.2.2",

Now after updating package.json, use the command npm update

After this use command ng serve and my error got resolved


Adding skipLibCheck: true in compilerOptions inside tsconfig.json file fixed my issue.

"compilerOptions": {
   "skipLibCheck": true,
},

First please check in module.ts file that in @NgModule all properties are only one time. If any of are more than one time then also this error come. Because I had also occur this error but in module.ts file entryComponents property were two time that's why I was getting this error. I resolved this error by removing one time entryComponents from @NgModule. So, I recommend that first you check it properly.


I had this problem but didn't have a version conflict in my package.json.

My package-lock.json was somehow out of sync with package json though. Deleting and regenerating it worked for me.
