I am using Ionic along with Angular. SO when i try to use the command, ionic g page Page-Name, i get the error stating that "Could not find an NgModule. Use the skip-import option to skip importing in NgModule.". So can anyone help me out on what i am mising. Also going into the src\app folder works, but the pages are generated in the root folder rather than in the app folder.

  • add your `package.json` file, the question is incomplete without it and we cannot help with limited information, the issue might be in the root & source root path. – Ashish Yadav Aug 23 '20 at 07:51
  • is it duplicate of this : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51200919/could-not-find-an-ngmodule-use-the-skip-import-option-to-skip-importing-in-ngmo ? (you can run the angular commands after `cd .\src\app\` ) – yaya Aug 23 '20 at 07:57
  • @yaya I saw that thread, but it did not help, alos, i did mention what you have done in the question as well. – Akshay Sethia Aug 23 '20 at 09:02
  • @AkshaySethia there is alot of possible solutions here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51200919/could-not-find-an-ngmodule-use-the-skip-import-option-to-skip-importing-in-ngmo the one i mentioned was just a quick fix. – yaya Aug 23 '20 at 09:05

This problem arises just because you are making your component outside the app folder and then the angular-cli could not find app.module there and is not able to register the component. so for that, you have to make your component inside the app folder however it is not a good practice so for that make a folder inside the app folder and then generate your component there you will not get this error anymore.
