Cannot read property 'insertTable' of undefined` error when trying to implement quill-better-table in Angular

[Jonattan-Salcedo]

Hi @soccerloway thank you for creating this addition to quill, I followed a video before this on how to implement quill in my angular project but now I can't implement the quill-better-table to it, I already search and try many ways but no success yet.

This is the error message:

ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'insertTable' of undefined

This is my HTML:

<div class="card">
  <div ibmGrid>
    <div ibmRow>
      <div ibmCol>
        <button ibmButton="secondary" size="sm" (click)="onInsertTable()">Add table</button>

        <form [formGroup]="editorForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
          <div class="form-group">
            <quill-editor [styles]="editorStyle" [modules]="config" formControlName="editor" (onEditorCreated)="editorCreated($event)"></quill-editor>
          </div>
         
          <button ibmButton="primary">Save changes</button>
        </form>
      </div>
    </div>
</div>

This is my component TS file:

import { Component, OnInit, AfterViewInit, ChangeDetectionStrategy } from '@angular/core';
import { FormControl, FormGroup } from '@angular/forms';
import { DropdownModule, ModalService } from 'carbon-components-angular';
import * as quillBetterTable from 'quill-better-table';


interface Quill {
  getModule(moduleName: string);
}

interface BetterTableModule {
  insertTable(rows: number, columns: number): void;
}

// declare const require: any;
// let Quill: any = null;


@Component({
  selector: 'app-fnl-report',
  templateUrl: './fnl-report.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./fnl-report.component.scss'],
  // changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush
})
export class FnlReportComponent implements OnInit {

  editorForm: FormGroup
  public quill: Quill;

  editorStyle = {
    height: '500px', 
    backgroundColor: '#fff'
  }

  config = {
    toolbar: [
      ['bold', 'italic', 'underline', 'strike'],        // toggled buttons
      ['blockquote', 'code-block'],
      [{ 'header': 1 }, { 'header': 2 }],               // custom button values
      [{ 'list': 'ordered'}, { 'list': 'bullet' }],
      [{ 'script': 'sub'}, { 'script': 'super' }],      // superscript/subscript
      [{ 'indent': '-1'}, { 'indent': '+1' }],          // outdent/indent
      // [{ 'direction': 'rtl' }],                        // text direction
      [{ 'size': ['small', false, 'large', 'huge'] }],  // custom dropdown
      [{ 'header': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, false] }],
      [{ 'color': [] }, { 'background': [] }],          // dropdown with defaults from theme
      [{ 'font': [] }],
      [{ 'align': [] }],
      ['clean'],                                        // remove formatting button
      ['link']                                          // link and image, video ['link', 'image', 'video']  
    ]
  }

  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.editorForm = new FormGroup({
      'editor': new FormControl(null)
    });  
  }

  public editorCreated(event: Quill): void {
    this.quill = event;
    // Example on how to add new table to editor
    this.addNewtable();
  }

  private get tableModule(): BetterTableModule {
    return this.quill.getModule("better-table");
  }

  private addNewtable(): void {
    this.tableModule.insertTable(3, 3);
    console.log('Hi');
  }

  onSubmit() {
    console.log(this.editorForm.get('editor').value);
  }

  onInsertTable() {
    // const tableModule = this.quill.getModule('better-table');
    // tableModule.insertTable(3, 3);
  }

}

This is my module file:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';

import { ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { QuillModule, QuillConfig } from "ngx-quill";
import * as Quill from "quill";
import QuillBetterTable from "quill-better-table";


Quill.register(
  {
    "modules/better-table": QuillBetterTable
  },
  true
);

const quillConfig: QuillConfig = {
  modules: {
    table: false, // disable table module
    "better-table": {
      operationMenu: {
        items: {
          unmergeCells: {
            text: "Another unmerge cells name"
          }
        },
        color: {
          colors: ["#fff", "red", "rgb(0, 0, 0)"], // colors in operationMenu
          text: "Background Colors" // subtitle
        }
      }
    },
    keyboard: {
      bindings: QuillBetterTable.keyboardBindings
    }
  }
};


@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    UploadFilesComponent,
    FnlReportComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    CommonModule,

export class ImsHubModule { }

This are my css imports for quill:

@import '~quill/dist/quill.core.css';
@import '~quill/dist/quill.bubble.css';
@import '~quill/dist/quill.snow.css';

This are my package.json dependencies for quill:

"dependencies": {
    "ngx-quill": "^13.0.1",
