index.ts is not part of the compilation output.

[Pikachews]

This issue seems to come up when using Angular v5.0.0.
It's being discussed here: angular/angular-cli#8263
A workaround to this issue can be found here: angular/angular-cli#8284 (comment)
But is it possible to get it fixed in the package itself?

Long story short: TS source files shouldn't be included in the package.
A simple, temporary fix for users of this package is to simply rename index.ts to index.js.

+1 Same for me after upgrading to sweet A5.

Thanks for the links.

I fell victim to this issue too. The suggestion to rename index.ts to index,js worked for me. Thanks for the tip. Be nice to get the package fixed. I know I'm going to delete my node_module directory someday and do a "npm install" and be right back here. :)

Here's an alternative workaround that worked for me. Instead of renaming index.ts, I added the following to tsconfig.json:

  "include": [
    "node_modules/ng-diff-match-patch/index.ts",
    "src/**/*"
  ]

Same issue here, dae721 comment works for me, so added it to the tsconfig.json file.

I added the following as a node script that now runs before any of my builds:

var fs = require('fs');
(function() {
    fs.exists( './node_modules/ng-diff-match-patch/index.ts', (exists) => {
        if (exists) {
            fs.renameSync('./node_modules/ng-diff-match-patch/index.ts', './node_modules/ng-diff-match-patch/index.js');
            console.log('Renamed ng-diff-match-patch/index.ts to .js');
        } else {
            //TODO this script is only needed until there's a resolution to https://github.com/elliotforbes/ng-diff-match-patch/issues/24
            console.log('No ng-diff-match-patch/index.ts to rename! CAN THE SCRIPT BE REMOVED NOW?')
        }
    });
})();

not the best solution but it takes care of it for now. I'm not sure why @dae721 's solution didn't work for me but i didn't spend time investigating why.

I see a merge a few days ago, I still get this error in Angular 5+ as of a few minutes ago,

[elliotforbes]

Hi @bjarecki,
can you try again with the 3.0.1 version now published on NPM?
Kind Regards,
Elliot

[moose4lord]

I tried v3.0.1 in my Angular 5 dev env and this issue seems to be fixed now. No more "index.ts is missing from the TypeScript compilation" error. It also works with Angular 6. Nice job, Elliot. Thanks.

@AndersTornkvist thank you very much for providing the fix for this issue! You are an absolute legend.
