Error "../node_modules/cdk-table-exporter/cdk-table-exporter.d.ts has no selector, please add it"when building angular application

Question

I have installed the below dependency only for using mat-table-exporter in angular 8:

npm install mat-table-exporter --save 

Now when i am building my angular application using below command:

ng build --prod --build-optimizer --aot --base-href=/application_base_name

I get the error shown below:

PS C:\GitRepositories\cricket_aiops_dashboard\Client_Side>ng build --prod --build-optimizer --aot --base-href=/application_base_name
Your global Angular CLI version (9.1.0) is greater than your local
version (8.3.26). The local Angular CLI version is used.

To disable this warning use "ng config -g cli.warnings.versionMismatch false".

ERROR in Directive CdkTableExporter in C:/../Client_Side/node_modules/cdk-table-exporter/cdk-table-exporter.d.ts has no selector, please add it!

I tried to resolve it by installing dependency: npm install --save cdk-table-exporter and then build my application but it is not working even then.

Please find below contents of package.json

Answer 1

Check your angular version, if it is below 9 use mat-table-exporter@1.2.5

npm install --save mat-table-exporter@1.2.5

Answer 2

If you are using Angular version below 9 you should use mat-table-exporter@1.2.5. use this -> npm install --save mat-table-exporter@1.2.5

if you already installed mat-table-exporter, uninstall it. first uninstall mat-table exporter and then uninstall cdk-table-exporter. and then install mat-table-exporter@1.2.5 using above command.
