OK I see, but do you have bluebird installed?

[NetanelBasal]

I created a new Angular project.

[Teebo]

OK, let me see what's wrong on my side, I will update and close the issue if it's something on my end

[Teebo]

I have installed bluebird: npm i bluebird and run ng add @datorama/akita. It worked, I have uninstalled bluebird after that, I am not sure what's the issue as the error was also thrown in a new ng project.

[Amit775]

happend to me too, running ng add ... again (without installing bluebird) and its work

[sawa-ko]

Same error

[keithotto]

Also getting this error. Created a fresh Angular 13 app with ng new then immediately followed up with ng add @datorama/akita. Get the missing bluebird module error.

[basit74]

I am also getting the same error when using Angular 13

[rohit-pathak]

+1 Same error with Angular 13 using ng add @datorama/akita.

[sibijohn72]

bump. Angular 13 using ng add @datorama/akita

[yousafravian]

Same error, I'm on angular version 13.2.0 and it gives same bluebird error when installed using ng add ...

[yousafravian]

Works after installing bluebird as dependency

[Teebo]

@yousafraza39142 why do I need to install bluebird for it to work? What is bluebird for?

[yousafravian]

@yousafraza39142 why do I need to install bluebird for it to work? What is bluebird for? Honestly, I'm not sure, I looked up bluebird and it is an implementation of promises for js.

They have used promises in their utils.ts inside ng-add schematics. Maybe it has something to do with it

[Randle-Lanre]

I tried installing bluebird and then re-installing akita, then i get

does anyone know if there's a patch for this

[jerosancho]

+1 Same error using ng add on Angular 13

[Randle-Lanre]

@jerosancho use npm to remove Akita,

ensure all imports/declarations related to Akita are removed from your app.module.ts

then proceed to add the bluebird package and then akita.

this was the fix for my own issue

[AnthonyLenglet]

it looks like the issue comes from schematics-utilities having dependencies on angular 8 https://github.com/nitayneeman/schematics-utilities/blob/master/package.json#L37-L44

another schematic had this exact same issue, and they ended up removing schematics-utilities in favor of angular/cdk https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/20685 https://github.com/oktadev/schematics/pull/569

for now however, you should just be able to install bluebird, run the schematics and then uninstall it another way would be to just bypass the schematics and manually install akita using npm i @datorama/akita and executing ng config cli.defaultCollection @datorama/akita if you want to get the ng g commands for akita (note that with angular 14, you will be able to have multiple values in defaultCollection, which will be usefull if you already have a library giving you custom ng g commands)

The repo is updated now. I'll release new versions soon.
