NodeTemplate throws: ERROR TypeError: str.replace is not a function at evalExp (vendor.js:108640) ...

[Jon Andoni]

Hello,

I´m trying to use  template in angular treeview following the next demo: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/angular/documentation/treeview/template .

The issue is that for the moment that render the treeview without template it renders ok but when I add <ng-template  nodeTemplate="" let-data="">... the chrome console throws the next lines: 

ERROR TypeError: str.replace is not a function

Hi Jon Andoni, 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

We have checked your reported problem at our end. We suspect that the template content is initialized improperly in ng template. Could you please ensure the ng template content in TreeView? 

<ejs-treeview id="tree" [fields]="field" [cssClass]="cssClass"> 

      <!-- Template to render tree node --> 

       <ng-template #nodeTemplate="" let-data=""> 

       <div> 

       <img class="eimage" src="https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/treeview/images/employees/{{data.eimg}}.png" alt="{{data.eimg}}"/> 

            <div class="ename">{{data.name}}</div> 

            <div class="ejob">{{data.job}}</div> 

       </div> 

       </ng-template> 

</ejs-treeview> 

Sample: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-cnd3u2-85yqty?file=template.html 

Please share the template content with tree view and its bounded data source if you are still facing the sample problem. 

Thanks,
Christo

Hello Christo,

This is the template content:

<ejs-treeview #tree [fields]='field' (nodeClicked)="onNodeClick($event)" [cssClass]='cssClass'>

<ng-template #nodeTemplate="" let-data="">

<div>

Test

div>

ng-template>

ejs-treeview>

It´s seems to be good.

Fields charge a javascript array object that contains properties like text, id etc, but it doens´t matter because in this example i´m not binding any data. This same example in stackblitz works fine, test it.

Hi Jon Andoni, 

Thanks for the update. 

We tried hard to reproduce your reported problem at our end. But ng-template concepts works fine for our TreeView component. As per your scenario, we have checked your problem on both stackblitz application and local angular-cli application, but we were unable to reproduce it. Could you please check the samples? 

Stackblitz:   https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-cnd3u2-emyifl?file=template.css 

Local Angular CLI application:  

http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/141140/ze/Angular_7_TreeView_Template1357061027.zip 

You can use the below command to install the npm packages and run it. 

1. npm install
2. ng serve

Still you are facing the same issue, Could you please share the below information? 

1. Syncfusion angular navigations package version
2. Which way you have used our angular navigations’ TreeView component in your application(Angular-cli, webpack, etc…)
3. If possible, please try to reproduce the issue with the provided sample or send us other any sample which reproduces the issue.

Thanks, 

Christo

Hello Christo,

Thanks for example in stackblitz and on angular-cli project.

Finally, the error was that with npm i @syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations I installed the 16.6.30 version and ng-template doesn´t work with this version. So I update to the 16.6.34 version and it works.

Thank you.
