Add support for Angular v20 #

[markuspalme]

Builds using Angular 20 fail with errors such as this one:

✘ [ERROR] TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module 'ngx-bootstrap/component-loader'. '/Users/markus/someapp/node_modules/ngx-bootstrap/component-loader/fesm2022/ngx-bootstrap-component-loader.mjs' implicitly has an 'any' type.
  If the 'ngx-bootstrap' package actually exposes this module, try adding a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module 'ngx-bootstrap/component-loader';` [plugin angular-compiler]

    node_modules/ngx-bootstrap/datepicker/bs-datepicker.component.d.ts:2:39:
      2 │ ...t { ComponentLoaderFactory } from 'ngx-bootstrap/component-loader';

It seems that this library must support Angular 20 explicitly.

Surprised to see that there is no such issue already, usually they are created some minutes after an Angular release :)

I think we need to wait for a new non-beta/non-canary version of Nx as the current stable version requires Angular 19: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/blob/21.1.3/packages/angular/package.json#L70-L73

See: https://nx.dev/technologies/angular/recipes/angular-nx-version-matrix#nx-and-angular-version-compatibility-matrix

v20 support is added in 21.2.0 which only has these published versions as of now:

'21.2.0-beta.1',
'21.2.0-beta.2',
'21.2.0-canary.20250521-a52a435',
'21.2.0-canary.20250522-7e0719c',
'21.2.0-canary.20250523-560a53e',
'21.2.0-canary.20250524-e2b3aca',
'21.2.0-canary.20250527-4a94841',
'21.2.0-canary.20250528-2572455',
'21.2.0-canary.20250529-c8a6ffb',
'21.2.0-canary.20250530-b51676a',
'21.2.0-canary.20250603-88c5196',
'21.2.0-canary.20250604-283ec76',
'21.2.0-canary.20250605-5ffd82e',
'21.2.0-canary.20250606-c43d2f2'

Nx 21.2.0 released 12. june. If that was the blocking issue then it should be green light now, right? :)

I did open a PR: #6757

[vladt22]

Sooo, code is ready, PR is there.... any chance to roll it forward soon?

[Brown-Dan]

Any news on when #6757 will be merged?

[songokudbz]

Let's do it!

[ltdatea]

Really looking forward to this merge! We already would need it urgently. What is the plan for the rollout?

[d4yvie]

Your automatic tests are failing, what's going on there? Doesn't seem like "just needs releasing" as an outsider who wishes to upgrade an angular applications which has angular-specific vulnerabilites that are fixed by the upgrade.

[Brown-Dan]

It’s fine, it is not an actual issue with the unit tests. We just need one of the maintainers to merge it please…

[songokudbz]

It has been merged, now we need to wait for the actual release.

[vladt22]

I'm curious - is this project being abandoned? Seems like there is no one to "click release button" anymore. If so - just please announce it so that developers should start looking for alternatives.

@xkrillex I've already fully tested PR and working on release. Unfortunatelly I'm only able to approve and merge other PRs, but not my own, and for mine I got to get @valorkin and well it's not an easy task. Current issue that I forgot about NX cloud configuration updates and it failed release so I got to wait for approve on that fix, that will unlock release.

[vladt22]

Thank you for update! We all understand that this is open source project and there is no obligation to anyone. But since this is very popular and important package would be nice to have some backups... Anyways - standing by!

[alenap93]

Somebody has a fork with version compatible with angular 20 published in npmjs?

[rohanahata]

Hi @lexasq, the release tag seems to have been released, but it isn't available on npmjs.com

[alenap93]

I found a next version 20 on npmjs https://www.npmjs.com/package/ngx-bootstrap/v/20.0.0

Should I use next version in production or not ?

[amelnikoff]

Should I use next version in production or not ?

At your own risk. There is no updates in documentation nor in changelog since v18.

[dezsiszabi]

Even though I was the one who did the Angular 20 upgrade PR, the way this release was/is handled left a sour taste in my mouth.

Now, because of this, I basically removed ngx-bootstrap from my project at work... I wrote my own popover and tooltip components over the weekend, changed all the collapse, alert and modal usages I had to alternatives (vanilla bootstrap or @angular/cdk approaches).

To me, this project unfortunately feels half abandoned.

To me, this project unfortunately feels half abandoned.

@lexasq, @valorkin, can you please comment on the state of ngx-bootstrap? Following the discussion here and the completely understandable comment of @dezsiszabi, it would be good to get a concrete update on the project's status.

[alexanderzeillinger]

This has become unacceptable 👎 Time to switch to ng-bootstrap

[WikiRik]

I'm copying the comment of @lexasq in https://github.com/valor-software/ngx-bootstrap/pull/6762#issuecomment-3131384443, since it seems relevant here as well;

There's already a next release that can be used, this documentation stall was stopping me from finalizing checks and release it properly with promote to latest, because I also got to build and check how it all ties up on our website as well.

[lexasq]

Release of Angular v20 support is finalize, sorry for the inconvenience during the process.
