Question

Answer 1

Your package.json has following lines:

"rxjs": "^6.0.0",

"typescript": "~2.7.2"

This tells npm to install the following versions

rxjs: Latest version in version 6 series which is 6.4.0

typescript: Latest patched version in minor version 2.7 which is 2.7.2

Now RxJS module also installs the type definition files for TypeScript. The type definition file included in the rxjs module that got installed in your project is not compatible with typescript version installed in the same project.

So as a solution in your package.json file you can either bump up the version of Typescript to say 2.8 as

typescript: ^2.8.0

or bump down the version of ngrx to something like

ngrx: ~6.0.0 and

do a fresh npm install.

You can check the version number of the module installed by looking in following files:

node_modules/rxjs/package.json and
node_modules/typescript/package.json
