vs code cannot find module '@angular/core' or any other modules

Question

my project was generated with [Angular CLI] version 1.2.6.

I can compile the project and it works fine, but I always get error in vs code telling me cannot find mo

Answer 1

I was facing this issue only while importing my own created components/services For those of you like me, for whom the accepted solution did not work, can try this:

Add

"baseUrl": "src"

in your tsconfig.json. The reason is that visual code IDE is unable to resolve the base url so is unable to resolve path to imported components and gives error/warning.

Whereas angular compiler takes src as baseurl by default so it is able to compile.

NOTE:

You need to restart VS Code IDE to make this change come into effect.

EDIT:

As mentioned in one of the comments, in some cases changing workspace version might also work. More details here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/34681#issuecomment-331306869

I solved this problem as follow:

1. Open Visual studio code with your project.
2. Terminal -> New Terminal.
3. Write npm install.

Answer 3

This worked for me.

 npm install --save-dev @angular-devkit/build-angular

Answer 4

Occurs when cloning or opening existing projects in Visual Studio Code. In the integrated terminal run the command npm install

Answer 5

Most likely npm package is missing. And sometimes npm install does not fix the problem.

I have faced the same and I have solved this issue by deleting the node_modules folder and then npm install

Answer 6

Do run

npm install 

it will work most of the cases
