Topic: Sidenav Error - TypeError: child.querySelector is not a function
p4k1tz free asked 3 years ago
Expected behavior Iterating to creating sidenav shouldnt produce an error when clicking on an item.
Actual behavior Clicking on the sidenav items produces an error if they are created with ngFor.
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)
<mdb-sidenav-layout>
<mdb-sidenav #sidenav="mdbSidenav">
<ul class="sidenav-menu">
<mdb-sidenav-item>
<a class="sidenav-link"><i class="far fa-smile fa-fw me-3"></i><span>Link 1</span></a>
</mdb-sidenav-item>
<mdb-sidenav-item *ngFor="let category of categories">
<a class="sidenav-link">
<i class="fas fa-grin fa-fw me-3"></i>
<span>{{category.name}}</span>
</a>
<ul class="sidenav-collapse" mdbCollapse>
<li class="sidenav-item" *ngFor="let command of category.commands">
<a class="sidenav-link" (click)="onClickCommand(command.route)">{{command.name}}</a>
</li>
</ul>
</mdb-sidenav-item>
</ul>
</mdb-sidenav>
<mdb-sidenav-content #sidenavContent>
<!-- Toggler -->
<button #sidenavToggle class="btn btn-primary" (click)="sidenav.toggle()">
<i class="fas fa-bars"></i>
</button>
<!-- Toggler -->
</mdb-sidenav-content>

If I do not use ngFor I get no error, but as soon as I try to iterate over a list of objects to generate my sidenav, this is what I get.

@p4k1tz Can you provide an example TS code with an object from which you try to create the list so we can reproduce the problem on the exact same example?
