Topic: navbar.nativeElement.append is not a function in Angular Univeral

Hosboss pro asked 6 years ago


We use the PRO version together with Angular Universal (Express Framework). When delivering our app, the following error message is issued by the server: ERROR TypeError: l.navbar.nativeElement.append is not a function
It's the same problem as this :

Merci de votre aide !

Dear Turki, could you provide me some reproduction steps? We're not fully compatible with Angular Universal, we have this in our plans to the nearest future. Best Regards, Damian

Hi Damian, I followed the steps of this tutorial: https://medium.com/@evertonrobertoauler/angular-5-universal-with-transfer-state-using-angular-cli-19fe1e1d352c and I get the error message when I run the command node dist/server.js It's very important, even essential, for me I can not use it for my site if SEO is not possible. Thanks, Best Regards

Turki, I've downloaded repo from this tutorial, added MDB to it and pasted sample code from navbar. Then ran this out, and I see no errors there. Could you send me your project without node_modules at d.gemza@mdbootstrap.com ? Best Regards, Damian

Guys, we're ready to official announce, that our MDB Angular is now compatible with Angular Universal (Server-Side Rendering). Feel free to update your project to latest 5.2.3 version and enjoy it! Best Regards, Damian

Dear Turki, Sorry for so much respond time. I've got fix for this problem. Please head into /free/navb ars/navbar.component.ts and: In constructor change type of renderer from Renderer to Renderer2 then find line:
 this.navbar.nativeElement.append(child)
and change it to
this.renderer.appendChild(this.navbar.nativeElement, child);
And now it should works fine. Let me know if there's more problems. Best Regards, Damian
