TypeError: Object(...) is not a function in Ionic 4 app with ECharts

I'm trying to integrate ECharts into an Ionic (4) app following this guide:

https://golb.hplar.ch/2017/02/Integrate-ECharts-into-an-Ionic-2-app.html

I installed all the modules as follows (i add "ionic info" output):

D:\e-charts-debug>ionic info

+ @types/echarts@4.1.1
added 1 package in 108.858s

I also modified tsconfig.json and app.module.ts as follows:

"compilerOptions": {
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "declaration": false,

    ...

    "baseUrl": ".",
    "paths": {
      "echarts": ["node_modules/echarts/dist/echarts.min.js"]
    }
}

app.module.ts:

import {NgxEchartsModule} from "ngx-echarts";

...

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    MyApp,
    HomePage
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    NgxEchartsModule,
    IonicModule.forRoot(MyApp)
  ],
...

In home.ts and home.html i just added a single chart like the example does:

home.ts:

    import { EChartOption } from 'echarts';

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

        chartOption: EChartOption = {
            xAxis: {
                type: 'category',
                data: ['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat', 'Sun']
            },
            yAxis: {
                type: 'value'
            },
            series: [{
                data: [820, 932, 901, 934, 1290, 1330, 1320],
                type: 'line'
            }]
        }
}

home.html:

<ion-content padding>
      <div echarts [options]="chartOption" class="demo-chart"></div>
    </ion-content>

However, when i serve the app i get this error:

Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: Object(...) is not a function

Is it just an import or version issue? If so, how can i solve it?

Thanks for your help!

EDIT:

Like the answers below suggest, i tried to install an older ngx-echarts version (my angular version is 5.2.10):

D:\e-charts-2.0.0>npm install echarts -S
npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents@1.2.4 (node_modules\fsevents):

added 2 packages in 38.188s

added 1 package in 31.035s

+ @types/echarts@4.1.1
added 1 package in 16.213s

Now i see a strange npm warning on "echarts peer", since my version should be fine.

When i launch my app with ionic serve i get this error:

I used a new project, doing the same imports process, except from the different ngx-echarts version installed.

EDIT 2

This is my index.html:

And this is my tsconfig.json:

    "declaration": false,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,

}

After including <script src="../node_modules/echarts/dist/echarts.min.js"></script> in index.html file the error still remains:
