Angular Version: 6.0.4 ~ Node Version: 10.4.1 ~ NPM Version: 6.1.0
I've seen this question asked many times, but not answered.
After following these instructions to install angular-datables, and trying to use the directive on a table, as in their Zero Configuration example, I keep getting this error:
TypeError: $(...).DataTable is not a function
at angular-datatables.directive.js:42
Included Styles and Scripts
"styles": [
"node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css",
"node_modules/datatables.net-dt/css/jquery.dataTables.css",
"src/styles.css"
],
"scripts": [
"node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
"node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js",
"node_modules/datatables.net/js/jquery.dataTables.js"
]
Import in app.module.ts
import { DataTablesModule } from 'angular-datatables';
DataTablesModule is added to array of imports.
*.component.html
<h1>View Accounts</h1>
<table class='table table-dark text-center table-striped table-hover rounded' datatable>
<thead class='thead-dark'>
<tr>
<td>#</td>
<td>Account Name</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr *ngFor='let account of db.accounts; let i = index' routerLink='/account/{{account.id}}'>
<td>{{i+1}}</td>
<td>{{account.accountHolder}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
The error was fixed by doing a refresh of my node modules
rm -rf node_modules/
npm cache clear
npm install
I likely had two versions of jQuery installed, resetting my jQuery instance after datatables had bound to it.
