angularng2-bootstrap

Lazy loading. No component factory found. Did you add it to @NgModule.entryComponents?


I create page with simple modal window using ng2-bootstrap library. It looks like:

action-list.component.html

<a class="btn-setting"  (click)="dangerModal.show()"><i class="fa fa-trash"></i></a>

<div bsModal #dangerModal="bs-modal" class="modal fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog modal-danger" role="document">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-header">
        <h4 class="modal-title">Modal title</h4>
        <button type="button" class="close" (click)="dangerModal.hide()" aria-label="Close">
          <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>
        </button>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-body">
        <p>One fine body&hellip;</p>
      </div>
      <div class="modal-footer">
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary" (click)="dangerModal.hide()">Close</button>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" (click)="delete()">Save changes</button>
      </div>
    </div><!-- /.modal-content -->
  </div><!-- /.modal-dialog -->
</div><!-- /.modal -->

But when I clicked trash icon (first href) I got error:

ERROR Error: No component factory found for ModalBackdropComponent. Did you add it to @NgModule.entryComponents?

I found info that may by missing entryComponents annotation in my module for showing component, so I tried add:

action.module.ts

@NgModule({
    //...
    imports: [
        //...
        ModalModule,
    ],
    entryComponents: [
        ModalBackdropComponent
    ]
})

But i still have the same error.

My question: Can the error be caused by lazy loading my module? If so, how can I get around this issue? If you know answer, let me explain how does entryComponents work, please.


Solution

  • Ok. I solved the problem. In my case, import ModalModule was missing in main app module. The solution looks like this:

    app.module.ts

    @NgModule({
        imports: [
            //...
            ModalModule.forRoot()
        ],
        //...
    })
    export class AppModule { }
    

    I hope this will be helpful to someone :)
