npm install creates an additional node_modules folder about jodit-angular HOT 6 CLOSED

Build gives error:
ERROR in node_modules/@angular/core/src/render3/ng_dev_mode.d.ts(9,11): error TS2451: Cannot redeclare block-scoped variable 'ngDevMode'.

from jodit-angular.

Work around...
I've had to delete the node_modules folder so often that I've made a script to go in package.json scripts:

"fix-jodit-node-modules": "fix-jodit-node-modules.bat",

Contents of fix-jodit-node-modules.bat (for windows of course):
IF EXIST .\node_modules\jodit-angular\node_modules (
rd .\node_modules\jodit-angular\node_modules /S /q
)

from jodit-angular.

In my case, using wrong angular versions made the error occur.
Angular versions must match this library version, currently 5.2.11
I used npm update to do so, and then ng-bootstrap caused errors since it now requires angular 6.
Using npm install --save @ng-bootstrap/[email protected] did the trick

This worked to me with Node.js 12.10: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57866165

In your package.json, add:

"scripts": {
    "postinstall": "path_to_your_script"
  }

Then, create a script in your project with the following:

const fs = require('fs');

fs.rmdirSync('node_modules/jodit-angular/node_modules', {recursive: true});

This will run when you npm install, so you don't have to manually delete the folder.
