Library production build error on latest version 3.1.0

[joeveiga]

Describe the bug

It works fine up to v3.0.0. Latest update caused an error on our build pipeline with what it seems to be breaking changes introduced on v3.1.0.

An unhandled exception occurred: node_modules/highcharts-angular/lib/highcharts-chart.component.d.ts:24:18 - 
error TS2314: Generic type 'ɵɵComponentDeclaration' requires 7 type argument(s).

Minor version changes to be compatible.

Angular dependency was changed from 13 to 14. I had to use ~3.0.0 instead of ^3.0.0 to avoid 3.1.x

[karolkolodziej]

@jthorsen that is correct my mistake!
For Angular version 13 please use highcharts-angular in version 3.0.0

[izbushka]

The build also fails on angular 14.2.12

[karolkolodziej]

You are right, I see a similar issue with Angular 14... in 15 it looks alright.

I will wait for the Highcharts v11 release (which should be in a couple of weeks) and after that, I will release a new major version of this wrapper.

I apologize for the inconvenience- right now it looks like using version 3.0.0 is a valid solution for older Angular versions.

@karolkolodziej are there still plans to release new major version of highcharts-angular that works with Angular 14+ (including v16)?

[karolkolodziej]

Hi @minijus! As far as I see, you can correctly use the highcharts-angular with the Angular 16- demo.

But nevertheless, in the nearest future, we will release a new version 😄
