Doesn't seem to work with AoT compiler - Please add .metadata.json file in next release

[naveedahmed1]

When I try to compile my project using ngc for Ahead of Time Compilation. The compiler throws the below error:

Error: Unexpected value 'CKEditorModule' imported by the module 'AppModule'

I don't plan to work on this until the final release of Angular 2. But if someone is interested to work on that, pull requests are welcome.

Can you share some code/config ?

Thanks !

@naveedahmed1

did u put CKEditorModule in the imports and providers of your NgModule ?

[naveedahmed1]

@chymz I have a normal component (HomeComponent) with CKEditor and my AppModule looks like this:

app.module.ts

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './components/app.component';
import { HomeComponent } from './components/home/home.component';
import { CKEditorModule } from 'ng2-ckeditor';

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        FormsModule,
        ReactiveFormsModule,
        CKEditorModule
    ],
    declarations: [
        AppComponent,
        HomeComponent
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Actually the Angular team suggest that library vendors should also ship .metadata.json files. These files are produced automatically by ngc.
