I updated my Angle from 4 to 6, and consequently I had a problem with my click outside policy, it stopped working on all the components.
My policy:
import { Directive, Output, EventEmitter, ElementRef, HostListener } from '@angular/core';
@Directive({
selector: '[clickOutside]'
})
export class ClickOutsideDirective {
constructor(private _elementRef : ElementRef) { }
@Output()
public clickOutside = new EventEmitter();
@HostListener('document:click', ['$event.target'])
public onClick(targetElement) {
const clickedInside = this._elementRef.nativeElement.contains(targetElement);
if (!clickedInside) {
this.clickOutside.emit(null);
}
}
}
My component.html that makes use of this directive:
<div id="sidenav" *ngIf="this.opened" class="sidenav" [ngClass]="getClasses()" [ngStyle]="getStyles()" clickOutside (clickOutside)="closeOutsideSidenav()">
<header> {{ navTitle }} </header>
<i *ngIf="this.showCloseButton" class="iconic iconic-x-thin close-icon" (click)="closeSidenav()"></i>
<ng-content></ng-content>
</div>
<div *ngIf="this.backdrop && this.opened" class="sidenav-backdrop"></div>
