Value at position 0 while updating from Angular 8 to 9

Question

I was updating my project from Angular 8 to 9 when after following the update guide (+ running npm update) on update.angular.io and trying to compile the website using ng serve I get the following error:

ERROR in Failed to compile entry-point angular-font-awesome (es2015 as esm2015) due to compilation errors:
node_modules/angular-font-awesome/dist/angular-font-awesome.js:3968:26 - error NG1010: Value at position 0 in the NgModule.imports of AngularFontAwesomeModule is not a reference: [object Object]

3968                 imports: [CommonModule],

Any help is appreciated.

UPDATE

My ng version output:

   / \   _ __   __ _ _   _| | __ _ _ __     / ___| |   |_ _|
  / △ \ | '_ \ / _` | | | | |/ _` | '__|   | |   | |    | |

UPDATE 2 After uninstalling the angular-font-awesome package I only get one error with an Angular plugin:

ERROR in Failed to compile entry-point angular-tree-component (module as esm5) due to compilation errors:
node_modules/mobx-angular/dist/mobx-angular.d.ts:8:22 - error NG6002: Appears in the NgModule.imports of TreeModule, but could not be resolved to an NgModule class

8 export declare class MobxAngularModule {

Answer 1

If you want to use font-awesome in angular 9+ you can use this command :

 ng add @fortawesome/angular-fontawesome
