Modules not found in shared code with Nativescript and Angular Schematics
I'm using Angular with Nativescript Schematics. I have installed the nativescript-ui-sidedrawer. When i run
tns run ios --bundle
The native version is compiled and deployed to the device but when I run
ng serve
The web version fails with several errors, all very similar. The first one being
ERROR in ./node_modules/tns-core-modules/ui/builder/component-builder/component-builder.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '../../../platform' in '/Users/markdev/Documents/Code/mydrawer/node_modules/tns-core-modules/ui/builder/component-builder'
All of the errors are path related.
If I browse to the error given above and edit "component-builder.js", and change the path to
~/node_modules/tns-core-modules/platform
from
../../../platform
then when running "ng serve", that particular error is not displayed in the list of errors in the output.
But... when I run
tns run ios --bundle
I get
ERROR in ../node_modules/tns-core-modules/ui/builder/component-builder/component-builder.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '/Users/markdev/Documents/Code/mydrawer/src/node_modules/tns-core-modules/platform' in '/Users/markdev/Documents/Code/mydrawer/node_modules/tns-core-modules/ui/builder/component-builder'
@ ../node_modules/tns-core-modules/ui/builder/component-builder/component-builder.js 7:15-66

@ ../node_modules/tns-core-modules/ui/repeater/repeater.js
@ ../node_modules/tns-core-modules/bundle-entry-points.js
@ ./main.ns.ts
And if I open the app on the device, I get
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NativeScript encountered a fatal error: Error: Cannot find module '~/node_modules/tns-core-modules/platform'

Can anyone throw any light as to why the different devices require a different path?

Answer
Looking at your app component, it's a valid error. Page, ActionItem, RadSideDrawerComponent etc., are available only to your mobile app. So when you use a common app component which imports tns specific components while compiling for web, it should throw error.
If you have common code, move that to a base class and inherit platform specific components for Web and Mobile. If there is no common code, then simply create tns version of app component and web shall have it's own version.
Between, you might have to update your import statements. You don't have to use relative path when importing packages from node modules.
