Ionic button showing 'ion-button' is not a known element

I am new to ionic, it seems like a silly question but I need some help Using some simple button is throwing error. I am using ionic 4.0.

'ion-button' is not a known element: 1. If 'ion-button' is an Angular component, then verify that it is part of this module. 2. If 'ion-button' is a Web Component then add 'CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA' to the '@NgModule.schemas' of this component to suppress this message.

<ion-button color="primary">Primary</ion-button>

I was having this problem in a library that I was building because I forgot to export the module of that was importing the IonicModule and exporting my component.

So, in my module was importing Ionic lib and exporting my component as below.

import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { IonicModule } from '@ionic/angular';

import { MyComponent } from './my.component';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    MyComponent,
  ],
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    IonicModule,
  ],
  exports: [
    MyComponent,
  ],
})
export class MyModule {
}

And in the public-api.ts file of my lib, I should have something like this

export { MyModule } from './lib/my.module'; // <--- exporting my module
export { MyComponent } from './lib/my.component';

Import your custom component in the parent module. for example in your app.module.ts:

declarations: [MyComponent],
exports: [
    PopoverComponent,
]

In Ionic 5, I have a same problem when I build with --prod option.

Since *.module.ts file is not available in components in Ionic 5, I need to add shared module for components and then add CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA schema to that shared module.

ionic g module modules/shared

cat shared.module

import { NgModule, CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { FooComponent } from '../../components/foo/foocomponent.component'; <== Add your components


@NgModule({
  declarations: [FooComponent], <== Add your components
  imports: [
    CommonModule
  ], 
  exports: [FooComponent], <== Add your components
  schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]
})
export class SharedModule { }

My issue was that there were errors prior to this error that seemed to cascade down. The error I had was some elements in the declarations that should have been in the providers. Also, one of these was marked private in the constructor when it should have been public.

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        IonicModule,
        CommonModule,
        FormsModule,
        RouterModule.forChild([{ path: '', component: DevicesPage }]),
        DevicesPageRoutingModule,
        TranslateModule.forChild()
    ],
    declarations: [DevicesPage  --> remove BLE, LocationAccuracy, DeviceManagerService  ],
    providers: [BLE, LocationAccuracy, DeviceManagerService]  <--Add
})

Should add in app.module.ts

import { CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA, NgModule } from '@angular/core';


  providers: [
    StatusBar,
    SplashScreen,
    { provide: RouteReuseStrategy, useClass: IonicRouteStrategy }
  ],
  schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA] ==> add line**

I think the solution is importing Ionic module in the respective module imports

import { IonicModule } from '@ionic/angular';  <--add this line
@NgModule({
imports: [
    CommonModule,
    FormsModule,
    IonicModule, <-- add this line
  ],

})

I faced similar issue after ionic 4, So I added the CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA in app.modules.ts. Then it worked fine

app.module.ts

  providers: [
    StatusBar,
    SplashScreen,
    {provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler},
    SpineRestServiceProvider,
    FingerprintAIO
      ],
  schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]

It seems you are not importing the ionicModule in the component module. So, Import the IonicModulein the module.ts, rest of the things will work fine

In order to avoid that error message:

  1. Import CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA into app.modules.ts:
    import { ErrorHandler, NgModule, CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA } from '@angular/core';
  1. Add schema: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA] to app.modules.ts as below:
    @NgModule({
      declarations: [
        MyApp,
        HomePage
      ],
      imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        HttpClientModule,
        MomentModule,
        IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp),
      ],
      bootstrap: [IonicApp],
      entryComponents: [
        MyApp,
        HomePage
      ],
      providers: [
        StatusBar,
        SplashScreen,
        {provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler},
      ],
      schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]
    })

I was stuck on this for a little while as well until I realized that the problem was I did not create the Ionic Angular project properly. you have to include --type=angular
https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli

exp: ionic start myApp tabs --type=angular

I've run into this too. Your solution is not the best one as the new Ionic 4 way is to use <ion-button> (https://beta.ionicframework.com/docs/components/#button).

It does work for me fine in a page I have under /src/app/my-page/my-page.html, but when I put it in /src/shared/components/my-comp/my-comp.html it gives the error. The odd thing is that I have other Ionic elements in the same page <ion-grid>, <ion-row> and <ion-col>. Also, this code used to be in my-page.html where it worked without error.

FYI, MyComponent is in components.module.ts as a declaration and an export. Not sure yet what I am missing...

UPDATE 1: Neither moving the components directory under src nor under src/app made any difference.

UPDATE 2: This is my environment:

   ionic (Ionic CLI)          : 4.0.6
   Ionic Framework            : @ionic/angular 4.0.0-beta.2
   @angular-devkit/core       : 0.7.2
   @angular-devkit/schematics : 0.7.2
   @angular/cli               : 6.1.2
   @ionic/ng-toolkit          : 1.0.0
   @ionic/schematics-angular  : 1.0.1

UPDATE 3: Still broken in this environment:

   ionic (Ionic CLI)          : 4.1.0
   Ionic Framework            : @ionic/angular 4.0.0-beta.3
   @angular-devkit/core       : 0.7.2
   @angular-devkit/schematics : 0.7.2
   @angular/cli               : 6.1.2
   @ionic/ng-toolkit          : 1.0.6
   @ionic/schematics-angular  : 1.0.5

UPDATE 4: After much trial and error, I had to add schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA] to my components.module.ts file. I was able to leave the directory structure as-is. I'm not sure why this is required for this scenario, though.
