Alternative for deprecated provideAnimation

[tgt87]

The following error is encountered in angular 20.

RuntimeError: NG05105: Unexpected synthetic property @animationState found. Please make sure that:
  - Make sure `provideAnimationsAsync()`, `provideAnimations()` or `provideNoopAnimations()` call was added to a list of providers used to bootstrap an application.
  - There is a corresponding animation configuration named `@animationState` defined in the `animations` field of the `@Component` decorator

The issue can be resolved by adding the deprecated provideAnimations:

// app.config.ts
import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideAnimations } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations'; 

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [
    provideAnimations(), 
    // ... other providers
  ]
};

Any recommendation or advise on alternative to using the deprecated provideAnimations?
