Error in the azure-maps-control library

Question

I have an error when I try to load the maps using your library, At first I installed the library and ran my application and everything was fine, it worked great, then I created a component, there I implemented the OnInit method, called the library and it stopped working.

And I don't understand why I get that error knowing that what I use inside the OnInit is fine

And this would be the error that I get

This is my package.json

{
  "name": "azuremapstestdllo",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "ng": "ng",
    "start": "ng serve",
    "build": "ng build",
    "watch": "ng build --watch --configuration development",
    "test": "ng test"
  },
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "^16.0.0",
    "@angular/common": "^16.0.0",
    "@angular/compiler": "^16.0.0",
    "@angular/core": "^16.0.0",
    "@angular/forms": "^16.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "^16.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^16.0.0",
    "@angular/router": "^16.0.0",
    "azure-maps-control": "^2.2.7",
    "rxjs": "~7.8.0",
    "tslib": "^2.3.0",
    "zone.js": "~0.13.0"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "^16.0.4",
    "@angular/cli": "~16.0.4",
    "@angular/compiler-cli": "^16.0.0",
    "@types/jasmine": "~4.3.0",
    "jasmine-core": "~4.6.0",

    "karma-jasmine": "~5.1.0",
    "karma-jasmine-html-reporter": "~2.0.0",
    "typescript": "~5.0.2"
  }
}

My component is like this

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import * as atlas from 'azure-maps-control';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-map',
  templateUrl: './map.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./map.component.css']
})
export class MapComponent implements OnInit {
  ngOnInit(): void {
    const map = new atlas.Map('mapContainer', {
      authOptions: {
        authType: atlas.AuthenticationType.subscriptionKey,
        subscriptionKey: ''
      }
    });
  }

}

Azure Maps was designed to be used in standard JavaScript/TypeScript and doesn't do any anything to align with any specific framework. There are open-source libraries that wrap Azure Maps for Angular which I would recommend. Looking at a couple of these libraries, here is how they load the map:

• Looking at this library, they load the map using ngAfterViewInit.
• This library uses ngOnInit however it is using the hosted JavaScript files and not the NPM library with TypeScript.
