Ionic-framework: Ionic 4 RC-0 - ion-anchor is showing error

[Manivannandurairaj]

Bug Report

Ionic version:


[x] 4.0.0.rc.0

Current behavior:

ion-anchor tag is showing parsing error in ionic v4 release candidate. But, When I import CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA in my signin module, it is working fine.

Expected behavior:

ion-anchor tag is work without adding any CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA in my signin module

Steps to reproduce:

Implemented ion-anchor tag in my signin page html. Below i have added my code.

Related code:

<ion-anchor color="primary" routerDirection="forward" href="/forget">Forget your password?</ion-anchor>

Error

Other information:

Ionic info:

<ion-anchor> is not exported in @ionic/angular since a simple <a> might have the same effect, what's your use case?

[Manivannandurairaj]

But Before release candidate version it is working fine.

I also use ion-anchor, and my intent is to use Ionic's elements when available than using default HTML element.

But for now (because of this issue), i will use <a> instead

This also happens for 4.0 that was just released.

The doc isn't clear about it but it seems ion-anchor is redundant and the same properties can be applied to an a tag.

Had the same issue, i dont think its provided by Ionic anymore. Just use a regular a tag.
Its confusing because it still exists in the documentation.

had the same issue, Any updates ?

[ziftytodd]

If it's no longer a support element, it should be removed from the docs.

[manucorporat]

@MarkJAmes1217 does not make sense in angula land. it's only useful for ionic/core. In angular you can just use a normal anchor:

<a [routerLink]="/path">Link</a>

We will update the docs, but it's still a supported component, it is just not available in @ionic/angular
