Angular custom library npm install gives Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

Question

I've made a custom angular module library and after using it in my main app the library doesn't work and this is the warning that shows up

Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

Here's how I'm importing the library

import { MyLibraryModule } from 'my-lib'

in package.json

"library": "file:../dist/UI-library"

Currently I'm installing the from a local directory where the dist files of build library are built.

In your library go to the dist/library folder and run npm pack This will create a .tgz file of your lib. Then in your package.json file install the library from this packaged .tgz file. Like:

 "library": "file:./library.tgz"

When you publish to npm this is what npm does and that's what you install when you run an npm install a .tgz packaged file.
