@alan-agius4 ,YES, it works. But it will be ./node_modules/@angular/* not ../ Thank you very mach. When you come to china, I would like to invite you to dinner.

BrowserModule shouldn’t be used in a library. Use CommonModule intead.

BrowserModule is intended to be used only at an application level and imported in the root module.
