Ionic storage-angular error: Can’t resolve ‘@angular/common’ in storage-angular/fesm

I’m trying to use ionic/storage-angular in my ionic application. I was following the documentation: https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-storage.

I installed storage-angular (npm install @ionic/storage-angular) but I'm getting this error when importing IonicStorageModule in my app.module:

../../node_modules/@ionic/storage-angular/fesm2020/ionic-storage-angular.mjs:2:0–51 Error: Module not found: Error: Can’t resolve ‘@angular/common’ in ‘/home/<path_to_my_project>/node_modules/@ionic/storage-angular/fesm2020’

In app.module.ts I just did:

import { IonicStorageModule } from '@ionic/storage-angular';

imports: [ ... IonicStorageModule.forRoot()]

I’m using this version:

Ionic CLI                     : 7.2.0 (/home/baffo/.nvm/versions/node/v20.11.0/lib/node_modules/@ionic/cli)
   Ionic Framework               : @ionic/angular 7.6.6
   @angular-devkit/build-angular : 17.1.1
   @angular-devkit/schematics    : 17.1.1
   @angular/cli                  : 17.1.1
   @ionic/angular-toolkit        : 9.0.0

I tried this solution, but didn’t work: https://stackoverflow.com/a/64717548/10946588

Solution

Well I don’t know how exactly I fixed it but:

• I have a couple of warning complaining about ‘CommonJS or AMD dependencies’ so I added this to the angular.json (following this solution):

"projects": {
"app": {
"build": {
"options": {
"allowedCommonJsDependencies": [
"rxjs-compat",
"localforage"
],

• I revert all the changes of package.json and package.json.lock and removed node_module folder.
• Then, I reinstalled everything again:

npm install 
    npm install --save @ionic/storage
    npm install --save @ionic/storage-angular

And it’s working now.
