NbOverlayContainerAdapter and Lazy Loading #943

fahimalizain · 2018-10-25T17:20:50Z

Issue type

I'm submitting a bug report

Issue description

Current behavior:
When a lazy loaded module is opened, a NbOverlayContainerAdapter gets constructed along with it which wont have its setContainer() called. This causes the nbDialog to fail in _createContainer()

Expected behavior:
setContainer() should be called, or createContainer() should append to document body if container undefined

Steps to reproduce:

Create a lazyloaded module and route to its component.
Try to open a nbDialog with NbDialogService injected
Check console

Related code:
Please try to open the dialog from the lazy loaded module, sm and check stackblitz console.

What I have observed is that, only when NbLayout is constructed you call the setContainer()
Also I dont get consistent behavior when i wrap lazy-component with NbLayout

Please look into this issue :)

Same issue here.

Tibing · 2018-11-08T08:13:30Z

Hi Guys! As it mentioned in the documentation, you have to wrap all the entire application in the nb-layout. I saw you've tried that, and you're failed but you were very close 😄
To achieve the desired behavior you have to wrap all your app in the nb-layout it means you have to just wrap the app.component's router-outlet in it. I did it in your stackblitz and all works fine.

vigneshbarani24 · 2018-11-27T22:39:09Z

Hello @Tibing , I am using ngx-admin and I have app.component as just while the pages component inherits the layouts and gets me the overall page view. Add your solution to the appendChild issue makes it more compact and gets me a boxed layout. Can you please help me on this ?
To be precise, i have two layout components in my augury.
One : Because i have wrapped of app.component.html within
Two : Because i have my main content wrapped inside a already. (With all the header menu and sidebar menu, which cannot be compromised)

Tibing · 2018-11-28T04:08:00Z

Hi @Vbboi24, could you please create new issue for your question, also as provide reproducible stackblitz?

vigneshbarani24 · 2018-11-28T05:46:20Z

Yes Sure, I have already created a issue with ngx-admin repo
akveo/ngx-admin#1933 (comment)
Should i be creating a duplicate ? If i should, yeah. I'm asking only because i dont want to create duplicate issues to this beautiful Repo <3

Same issue happening when add nb-select inside Feature module. Not working even with nb-layout wrapping all app. Any help?

eeskildsen · 2019-11-25T23:39:02Z

@Tibing Wrapping the app component's router outlet in nb-layout breaks ngx-admin. The pages component's router outlet is already wrapped in nb-layout, so wrapping the app component messes up the layout.

Is there an alternative for ngx-admin?

eeskildsen · 2019-11-26T20:21:42Z

So I tried:

Removing ngx-sample-layout from pages.component.ts's template
Wrapping router-outlet in app.component.ts's template

But I still get:

ERROR TypeError: "this.container is undefined"

(That's the Firefox equivalent of the Chrome error in the original post.)

Modified app.component.ts:

@Component({
selector: 'ngx-app',
template: `
<nb-layout>
    <nb-layout-column>
        <router-outlet></router-outlet>
    </nb-layout-column>
</nb-layout>`,
})

eeskildsen · 2019-11-26T22:10:28Z

Workaround: Eager load the module. (I guess that's obvious given the title, but I tinkered for a long time before getting there!)

Now NbDialogService works, but there's another issue: The dialog pushes all content to the top of the screen on pages with a scrollbar when you've scrolled down. But that's another can of worms....I'm guessing it's specific to ngx-admin's layout.

@Mayocampo hello bro, did you find a solution for this bug?

snakone · 2020-03-01T10:27:16Z

I had the same issue with a nested child route, had a working <nb-select> on the main <nb-layout> and i wanted to have another <nb-select> on a sub child route, app router > child > child.

I SOLVED it by wrapping the third <router-outlet> like this

<nb-layout>
 <nb-layout-column>
     <router-outlet></router-outlet>
  </nb-layout-column>
</nb-layout>

Sub child Module

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ......
    NbSelectModule
  ]
})

@nebular 4.x.x
@angular 8.x.x

kainysheva · 2020-03-13T06:38:02Z

Solved this problem by removing the providers in @NgModule

@NgModule({
    imports: [...MODULES, ...NB_MODULES, ...FR_MODULES],
    exports: [...MODULES, ...NB_MODULES, ...PIPES, ...COMPONENTS, ...ENTRY_COMPONENTS, ...DIRECTIVES],
    declarations: [...COMPONENTS, ...ENTRY_COMPONENTS, ...PIPES, ...DIRECTIVES],
    entryComponents: [...ENTRY_COMPONENTS],
    providers: [
        ...NbThemeModule.forRoot(
            {
                name: 'default',
            },
            [DEFAULT_THEME, COSMIC_THEME, CORPORATE_THEME, DARK_THEME],
        ).providers,
    ],
})

Worked with me Thanks a lot

digitalhurricane-io · 2020-12-30T10:34:49Z

And what if we can't wrap the entire application in an <nb-layout> and <nb-layout-column>? This seems like an unreasonable requirement.

We shouldn't have to wrap the entire app in a layout altering component to get overlays to work.

This breaks angular material dialogs, which is why I ended up here.

There's lot's of issues on this problem. No real solutions IMO.

Wrapping the entire app in layout altering components is not a solution.

shekharramola · 2021-03-25T17:02:20Z

this issue still exist with the lazy loading module.
P.S I am already using <nb-layout> <nb-layout-column> <router-outlet> </router-outlet> </nb-layout-column> </nb-layout> in app.component

you need to do the same on the child aswell as i mentioned

shekharramola · 2021-03-25T17:55:27Z

@snakone thanks man, I was struggling with this for the last 4-5 hours

ramprudvi · 2022-02-13T09:08:37Z

Hi Team,
I am having similar issue for our website we are having two layouts based on user log in so it is not possible to include layout on router outlet so create layouts and implement router outlet for each login based .but when trying to implement dialog service is not working in this.

Kindly suggest proper solution this could be a cause of a lot of users.

mdora7 · 2022-12-10T14:05:46Z

Thumbs up,
I have multiple router-outlet so the other definition is at child component's inside.
You say what I need to do is wrap the entire outlet, but I don't want to do that.

app.component.html
<router-outlet></router-outlet>

layout.component.html

<nb-layout>
<nb-layout-column>
    <router-outlet></router-outlet>
  </nb-layout-column>
</nb-layout>

Unfortunately, Dialog service not working because nebular says "Layout not found"

wadinj · 2022-12-18T07:45:05Z

Same issue - happen with upgrade from nebular v7 to v10. I also have multiple router-outlet.

Any fixes/workaround found ?
