Relying on ModalController within an Angular/Ionic component leads to the error "Unable to resolve all parameters" for the service

I am currently working on a dynamic form module for Ionic 4.7.0 and Angular 5.0.3. The module involves creating a DynamicFormComponent, which internally utilizes the DynamicFormService. This service is designed to operate within the module and does not need to be accessed externally. However, the service relies on the Ionic ModalController to manage modal popups, leading to the following error:

Can't resolve all parameters for DynamicFormComponent(?, [object Object])
.

If I eliminate the ModalController dependency from the service, the error disappears. Nevertheless, the ModalController is essential for generating popups in various components of the module.

How can I resolve this issue?

Below is the implementation of my dynamic-form.module.ts, which is imported into my AppModule:

import { NgModule, ErrorHandler } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { IonicModule, IonicErrorHandler } from 'ionic-angular';
import { ReactiveFormsModule }          from '@angular/forms';

import { StringFieldComponent } from './fields/stringfield.component';
import { SelectFieldComponent } from './fields/selectfield.component';
import { NumberFieldComponent } from './fields/numberfield.component';

import { DynamicFormService } from './dynamic-form.service';
import { DynamicFormComponent } from './dynamic-form.component';
import { DynamicFieldDirective } from './dynamic-field.directive';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    StringFieldComponent,
    SelectFieldComponent,
    NumberFieldComponent,
    DynamicFieldDirective,
    DynamicFormComponent,
  ],
  providers: [
    DynamicFormService,
    {provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler}
  ],
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    IonicModule,
    ReactiveFormsModule,
  ],
  exports: [
    DynamicFormComponent,
  ],
  entryComponents: [
    StringFieldComponent,
    SelectFieldComponent,
    NumberFieldComponent,
  ]
})
export class DynamicFormModule {
}

The snippet below shows an abridged version of the dynamic-form.component.ts file containing relevant sections:

import { Component, OnInit, Input, Output, EventEmitter } from '@angular/core';
import { FormGroup, FormBuilder }   from '@angular/forms';
import { FormConfig } from './models/form-config.interface';
import { DynamicFormService } from './dynamic-form.service';

// Omitted code for brevity purposes

Here is a portion of the DynamicFormService that outlines its structure:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Validators } from '@angular/forms';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
import { ModalController } from 'ionic-angular';
import { FormConfig } from './models/form-config.interface';
import { FieldConfig } from './models/field-config.interface';

@Injectable()
export class DynamicFormService {
  private modals = {};

  constructor(
    public modalCtrl: ModalController
  ) {
    console.log("Started dynamic form service");
  }
  // Additional code omitted
}

To ensure completeness, here is my app.module.ts setup:

import { NgModule, ErrorHandler } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { IonicApp, IonicModule, IonicErrorHandler } from 'ionic-angular';
import { EnviMo } from './app.component';

// More import statements removed for conciseness

Answer №1

It has come to my attention that utilizing the ModalController in a service is not recommended due to it being outside of the component hierarchy. The DynamicFormService within my DynamicFormModule faces issues with instantiation before bootstrapping, causing it to fail in creating the modal. However, moving the modalCtrl.create calls to components after bootstrapping allows for successful implementation. By injecting the ModalController directly into the components rather than the service, the issue was resolved.
