skip to Main Content

I’ve been implementing ng2-bootstrap and Angular2.

I cannot figure out how to make the mobile navbar open / close.

Is this something that just isn’t supported yet? Or am I missing something?

Update, html:

<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
    <div class="container-fluid">

    <div class="navbar-header">
        <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
            <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        </button>
        <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">
            <img src="/logo.png" />
        </a>
    </div>

    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
        <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
            <li router-active>
                <a [routerLink]=" ['Index'] ">Summary<span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
            </li>
            <li router-active>
                <a [routerLink]=" ['Portfolio'] ">Portfolio<span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
            </li>
            <li router-active>
                <a [routerLink]=" ['About'] ">About<span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
            </li>
        </ul>
        <form class="navbar-form navbar-left" role="search">
            <div class="form-group">
                <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search">
            </div>
            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
        </form>
        <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
            <li dropdown keyboardNav="true">
                <a href class="dropdown-toggle" role="button" aria-expanded="false" dropdownToggle>
                    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-user" aria-hidden="true"></span>

                    <span class="caret"></span>
                </a>
                <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
                    <li role="menuitem"><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Account Settings</a></li>
                    <li role="menuitem"><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a></li>
                    <li role="menuitem"><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a></li>
                    <li class="divider dropdown-divider"></li>
                    <li role="menuitem"><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Logout</a></li>
                </ul>
            </li>

        </ul>
    </div>
</div>

  1. You need to include and use the collapse directive

    first you import the directive
    import { CollapseDirective } from 'ng2-bootstrap'

    Include it in your components directives
    @Component({ directives: [CollapseDirective] })

    Edit: As pointed out by Akkusativobjekt in the comments, Directives (in the current stable version of angular 2) are no longer placed in the @Component attribute.
    They are included in the NgModule attribute.

    @NgModule({ declarations: [CollapseDirective] })

    then in your controller create a variable to keep track of whether or not it’s collapsed
    export class MyController {
    public isCollapsed: boolean = true;
    }

    and in your template the line that looks like this
    <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" >
    you’ll want to toggle the variable
    <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" (click)="isCollapsed = !isCollapsed" >

    And also in your template you’ll want to change the line that says
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
    to include the directive
    <div id="navbar" class="navbar-collapse collapse" [collapse]="isCollapsed">

  2. I was able to do this using straight bootstrap4/jquery within my angular2 project by adding the same data-toggle and data-target attributes to the collapsible target div:

    <nav class="navbar navbar navbar-dark bg-inverse navbar-sticky-top clearfix">
      <div class="clearfix">
        <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">MCR</a>
        <button class="navbar-toggler hidden-sm-up float-xs-right" type="button" data-toggle="collapse"
            data-target="#exCollapsingNavbar2" aria-controls="exCollapsingNavbar2" aria-expanded="false"
            aria-label="Toggle navigation">
        </button>
      </div>
      <div class="collapse navbar-toggleable-xs" id="exCollapsingNavbar2" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#exCollapsingNavbar2">
      <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
        <li class="nav-item">
          <a routerLink="/home" routerLinkActive="active" class="nav-link" href="#">Home</a>
        </li>
        <li class="nav-item">
          <a routerLink="/collection" routerLinkActive="active" class="nav-link" href="#">Collection</a>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </div>
    

    I hope this might help someone as I struggled with this. Thanks to all above for putting me on the right track.

  3. While Seth’s solution works absolutely fine as it is, I modified the collapsing logic. Instead of using the click event, I subscribe to the router events to collapse the menu only after successful navigation.

    export class NavMenuComponent implements OnDestroy {
        public isCollapsed: boolean = true;
        private subscription: Subscription;
    
        constructor(private router: Router) {  
            this.subscription = this.router.events.subscribe(s => {
                if (s instanceof NavigationEnd) {
                    this.isCollapsed = true;
                }
            });
        }
    
        ngOnDestroy() {
            this.subscription.unsubscribe();
        }
    }

  4. This is a limitation of navbar (https://github.com/valor-software/ngx-bootstrap/issues/540). So you need to manipulate the DOM element.

    <div class="navbar-header page-scroll">
        <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-ex1-collapse">
            <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        </button>
        <a class="navbar-brand" routerLink="/">
            <img src="assets/images/logo.png">
        </a>
    </div>
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-ex1-collapse">
        <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right" >
            <li class="hidden">
                <a></a>
            </li>
            <li><a routerLink="/" (click)="onMenuClick()">Home</a></li>
            <li><a routerLink="/about" (click)="onMenuClick()">About</a></li> 
        </ul>
    </div>
    

    And on .ts file your minimal code shoul be:

    import { Component, ElementRef, Renderer } from '@angular/core';
    export class HeaderComponent {
        constructor(private el: ElementRef, private renderer: Renderer) {
        }
        onMenuClick() {
            //this.el.nativeElement.querySelector('.navbar-ex1-collapse')  get the DOM
            //this.renderer.setElementClass('DOM-Element', 'css-class-you-want-to-add', false) if 3rd value is true 
            //it will add the css class. 'in' class is responsible for showing the menu, remove it.
            this.renderer.setElementClass(this.el.nativeElement.querySelector('.navbar-ex1-collapse'), 'in', false);        
        }
    }
