Error: "'CallLog' refers to a value, but is being used as a type here." when trying to use CallLog in a component

[cedricbonhomme]

Hello,

I would like to use a callLog object in my component.

Below is my constructor:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Loading, LoadingController, AlertController } from 'ionic-angular';

@Component({
  selector: 'page-spam',
  templateUrl: 'spam.html'
})
export class SpamPage {
    constructor(public callLog: CallLog, public alertCtrl:AlertController, public loadingCtrl: LoadingController) { 
    ...
    <snap>
    ...
    }
}

Also CallLog is defined in the providers (app.components.ts).
And the error I get is:

Typescript Error
'CallLog' refers to a value, but is being used as a type here.

Also if I want to define a callLog variable outside the constructor I need to do it like this:

callLog: typeOf CallLog

I must use typeOf.

I do not know what I am doing wrong. I followed some tutorials and it does not help me. I am using Typescript 3.4.5.

Can someone help me ? Thank you!

For example this is not working:
https://github.com/ban-ban/newcallduration/blob/master/src/providers/group-list/group-list.ts#L19

I am able to make it work if I directly uses CallLog:

import { CallLog, CallLogObject } from '@ionic-native/call-log';

@Component({
  selector: 'page-spam',
  templateUrl: 'spam.html'
})
export class SpamPage {

    constructor(
        public alertCtrl:AlertController,
        public loadingCtrl: LoadingController) {

CallLog.requestReadPermission()
        .then(()=>{
            CallLog.getCallLog(filters)
            .then((data)=>{
                let duration:number = 0;
                for(let i=0; i<data.length;i++){
                    duration = duration+data[i].duration;
                }
