This is my package.json,I don't understand what is wrong but tabset in ng-bootstrap is not working.

Answer 1

The main difference which noticed between the latest release 4.0.0 and the version which you are using in your package.json i.e ^1.1.1 is that in the latest release it's not necessary to import NgbModule as NgbModule.forRoot() . For example -

This code works in version 4.x.x

@NgModule({
  imports: [BrowserModule, FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule, HttpClientModule, NgbModule],
  declarations: [....],
  bootstrap: [...]
})

But if you import NgbModuleas above in the version 1.1.1 which you are using , you will get this below error

ERROR Error: StaticInjectorError(AppModule)[NgbTabset -> NgbTabsetConfig]: StaticInjectorError(Platform: core)[NgbTabset -> NgbTabsetConfig]: NullInjectorError: No provider for NgbTabsetConfig!

That is because in the lower version you need to use .forRoot() in your root module to make it available in all the other modules and components in your application.

So for the version 1.1.1 which you are using, you need to use the below code in your root module app.module.ts

This code works in version 1.1.1

@NgModule({
  imports: [BrowserModule, FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule, HttpClientModule, NgbModule.forRoot()],
  declarations: [AppComponent, NgbdTabsetBasic],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

Here is a complete example with Angular 5 and the ng-bootstrap version 1.1.1 which you are using -

package.json(same as what you are using)

  "version": "1.0.0",

    "type": "git",

Note:

we need to add Bootstrap 4.0 css as dependency. The css can be added in 2 ways like below - 1. Add a <link> tag with the stylesheet in the index.html page 2. If you are using angular-cli then you can add it in the styles section of the .angular-cli.json file like

"styles": [
      "../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
   ]

Here is a complete working demo https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-wfkcak

update : After going through your stackblitz link I found that you have forgot to add the bootstrap 4 CSS file. I have added it in the index.html file.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-Gn5384xqQ1aoWXA+058RXPxPg6fy4IWvTNh0E263XmFcJlSAwiGgFAW/dAiS6JXm" crossorigin="anonymous">

You can also add it to angular.json (for angular 6 ) or .angular-cli.json (for angular 5 ) which ever is applicable for you under styles array as I mentioned above.

Here is the updated stackblitz https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-gmedf1
