Update to Angular 12

npm ERR! Could not resolve dependency:

Any update?

[g-max]

@mhosman i'm waiting for update from developers too, but what i've noticed is that 4.1.0 works fine with ng12, so we decided to do npm install --force and just wait for ngx-avatar to be updated

[dillonledoux]

Is there any update on this or something that can be contributed to to help it along?

[mhosman]

We are gonna hit Angular 13 in the next days and this is still stucked in version 11. Any news? I don't know if @PowerKiKi @Heatmanofurioso have access. Thanks!

[PowerKiKi]

I gave up on this project, and I am now using my own fork (very simplified and part of a larger library that I would not recommend to use by external people).

I can confirm, from npm settings, that odahcam, hmosbahi and heatmanofurioso all have write access. Even though this project is relatively low maintenance, it seems that it is having a hard time to find regular contributors. Maybe adding one more person would help ?

[Heatmanofurioso]

I did not get write permissions, I can't merge the PRs. Still, I believe only HaithemMosbahi can publish to npm even if we are given write permissions

I did make a fork of this project due to it being inactive a while ago if you guys recall it.. I would much prefer to contribute on this one than to work on my forked version though.

That being said, I am going to work on it and recommend it if no one can maintain this one.
I am more than willing to actively maintain it if necessary. What do you guys think @PowerKiKi @mhosman ?

[mhosman]

Thank you very much for the reply @Heatmanofurioso
If @HaithemMosbahi does not give the write permissions I think it is best to make a definitive fork since we have no answers. In case these permissions are not given, it is best to create a new fork with permissions to two or three people and in case someone cannot update the code, another could.

[Heatmanofurioso]

There's no need to make a new one I believe @mhosman
I am more than willing to give all necessary permissions to a couple of people on my fork.
It's already published on npm under ngx-avatars

That fork was made explicitly with the intention of it being a continuation of ngx-avatar, since it couldn't be actively maintained

Edit:
I will also make an effort to ensure I make a release every minor version at least, and not only on the major versions, to ensure that people have compatible versions to their specific needs

[PowerKiKi]

I've said it before, but the sooner there is an "official" fork, the better. We've been trying for years now. It's time to move on. To another repo. @Heatmanofurioso's one looks like the obvious choice.

[HaithemMosbahi]

Hello,
I thought that I gave all the needed access ( GitHub and npm ) to build and publish the library. If I remember correctly 3 people were added as maintainers.
I didn’t follow the last discussion, is there anything I can help with in regards to permission ?

[Heatmanofurioso]

Hi @HaithemMosbahi Thanks for replying! For some reason, I seem to not have permissions to merge PRs.

Could you give it a look so we can update the project to support V12 and so on here on Github please?

[mhosman]

@HaithemMosbahi I think @Heatmanofurioso has no access to merge PR's. Thats the issue

[Heatmanofurioso]

Hi @HaithemMosbahi. Sorry to bother, but a few days have passed. Could you please give a look into it?

[neryortez]

Soooo..... No answer?

[Heatmanofurioso]

Until we can actually update this project consistently.. I have kept my fork up to date, and intend to keep doing so in case anyone is interested in it.

It is in the npm registry also

[Heatmanofurioso]

Angular 13 is a week away from launching and the project still doesn't support 12.

[mhosman]

@HaithemMosbahi please can you give the permissions to @Heatmanofurioso to merge PR's? Thanks!

[Lyro1]

I usually use this component for most of my angular projects. The lack of support of Angular 12 is really disappointing, even more so with the work being already done by @Heatmanofurioso... Please @HaithemMosbahi give him the permissions to merge PR's.

[bhalperin]

Is it a dead end?
@HaithemMosbahi can you please update?

[Heatmanofurioso]

@bhalperin For now, while Haithem doesn't update the project, you can use my fork.
It's being maintained and updated regularly when new Angular versions come out

[PowerKiKi]

At this point, the whole community should migrate to https://github.com/Heatmanofurioso/ngx-avatars.

[codingsamuel]

There is already a pr for Angular 13. Is there any update on this? #138

[PowerKiKi]

@codingsamuel don't wait for anything from this project, and just move to https://github.com/Heatmanofurioso/ngx-avatars

[sujeetjaiswara]

When angular 13 support coming ?

[Heatmanofurioso]

It unfortunately probably isn't coming @sujeetjaiswara
Read this convo, as we've made a fork/alternative
https://github.com/Heatmanofurioso/ngx-avatars

[sujeetjaiswara]

Okay, Thanks @Heatmanofurioso 😀

[vzakharov-rxnt]

What was the issue? I'm using it with Angular 13, no problem.
