ng-bootstrap typeahead TypeError: Object(...) is not a function
I would like to use the angular bootstrap typeahead linkToTypeahead in an angular5 app. But I keep getting the following error(s):
ERROR TypeError: Object(...) is not a function

I copied the Simple Typeahead code from the website link.
My package.json file:

What I have tried so far:
- reinstalled node_modules with npm -- does not help
- Started a brand new project with the angular CLI and tried out the code there -- does not help.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Answer
So my Problem was solved by installing a stable version of ng-bootstrap:
so package.json file :
`dependencies
....
"@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap": "^1.1.1",
....
dependencies`
Thanks for the quick answers to JB Nizet and Niladri
EDIT: Also, as @Niladri said in the comments, you need to use
forRoot() for the modules you want to use. This is the official documentation of version 1.1 which is for Angular 5 and it is said here, but the new documentation for newer versions of angular doesn't say that, as it was changed. So keep that in mind!
