Topic: Side Nav - Page Reload - Auto Expand with route parameters on active link

itamadmin priority asked 3 years ago


Expected behavior

When reloading the page, if the current route has route parameters then the sub-menu mdb-accordion-item should auto expand.

Actual behavior

The sub menu item shows active but the mdb-accordion-item remains closed.

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)

The menu is as follows:

<header>
  <mdb-side-nav #sidenav class="wide sn-bg-1 fixed special-color" [sidenavBreakpoint]="1200">
    <mdb-navbar-brand>
      <li>
        <div class="logo-wrapper sn-ad-avatar-wrapper icon-pad">
          <mdb-icon fas icon="rocket" size="3x"></mdb-icon>
        </div>
      </li>
    </mdb-navbar-brand>

    <links>
      <li>
        <ul class="collapsible collapsible-accordion">
          <mdb-accordion [multiple]="false" aria-multiselectable="false">
            <mdb-accordion-item class="no-collase">
              <mdb-accordion-item-head mdbWavesEffect routerLinkActive="active" routerLink="home">
                <mdb-icon fas icon="home"></mdb-icon>Home
              </mdb-accordion-item-head>
            </mdb-accordion-item>

            <mdb-accordion-item>
              <mdb-accordion-item-head mdbWavesEffect><mdb-icon fas icon="columns"></mdb-icon>Dashboard
              </mdb-accordion-item-head>
              <mdb-accordion-item-body>
                <ul>
                  <li><a routerLinkActive="active" routerLink="dashboard/environment-summary" href="#" mdbWavesEffect><div class="div-pad"></div> Environment Summary</a></li>
                  <li><a routerLinkActive="active" routerLink="dashboard/application-summary" href="#" mdbWavesEffect><div class="div-pad"></div> Application Summary</a></li>
                </ul>
              </mdb-accordion-item-body>
            </mdb-accordion-item>
          </mdb-accordion>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </links>
  </mdb-side-nav>
</header>

And the following routes exist:

{ path: 'dashboard/application-summary', pathMatch: 'full', component: ApplicationSummaryComponent },
{ path: 'dashboard/application-summary/:id', component: ApplicationSummaryComponent },
{ path: 'dashboard/environment-summary', pathMatch: 'full', component: EnvironmentSummaryComponent },
{ path: 'dashboard/environment-summary/:id', component: EnvironmentSummaryComponent },

And when you load with a URL of just /dashboard/application-summary then the nav will expand:

enter image description here

However when you have the URL of /dashboard/application-summary/2 it doesn't expand, but if you manually expand it you do see the sub-menu item highlighted. (E.g. Application Summary)

We will take a closer look at this problem and let you know what we found. Can you confirm that you use MDB Angular v10.1.1?


itamadmin priority commented 3 years ago

Correct, from checking the node_modules/ng-uikit-pro-standard/package.json it lists "version": "10.1.1",


Nate free commented 3 years ago

Was there ever a resolution to this problem?


Arkadiusz Idzikowski staff commented 3 years ago

@Nate We added a fix in the v10.1.1 but it turns out that in some cases the problem still occurs.

If this bug occurs in your application, please provide a bit more information about the MDB version and the HTML/TS code you are using. This will be of great help in finding the cause of the problem.

Facing the same issue in mdb5 beta6. Sub-menu link is set as "active" but the menu is collapsed

<mdb-sidenav-item>
                <a class="sidenav-link"><i class="fas fa-cubes fa-fw fa-lg me-3"></i>Cloud accounts</a>
                <ul class="sidenav-collapse" mdbCollapse>
                    <li class="sidenav-item"><a class="sidenav-link" [routerLink]="['/accounts/request']" routerLinkActive="active" [routerLinkActiveOptions]="{exact: true}" mdbWavesEffect><i class="fa fa-cube fw24 me-1"></i>Request account</a></li>
                    <li class="sidenav-item"><a class="sidenav-link" [routerLink]="['/accounts']" routerLinkActive="active" [routerLinkActiveOptions]="{exact: true}" mdbWavesEffect><i class="fa fa-cog fw24 me-1"></i>Manage accounts</a></li>

@Tobias Thank you for the example, we will take a closer look at that.
