Angular8-10, PrimeNG10 `p-menu` throws error


I created a new Angular 10 app (have also tried with ng 8 and 9):

primeng-menu>ng new primeng-menu

Installed the PrimeNG modules:

npm install primeng --save and npm install primeicons --save

package.json:

"dependencies": {
  "@angular/animations": "~10.1.1",
  "@angular/common": "~10.1.1",
  "@angular/compiler": "~10.1.1",
  "@angular/core": "~10.1.1",
  "@angular/forms": "~10.1.1",
  "@angular/platform-browser": "~10.1.1",
  "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "~10.1.1",
  "@angular/router": "~10.1.1",
  "primeicons": "^4.0.0",
  "primeng": "^10.0.0",
  "rxjs": "~6.6.0",
  "tslib": "^2.0.0",
  "zone.js": "~0.10.2"
},

angular.json:

"styles": [
          "node_modules/primeng/resources/primeng.min.css",
          "node_modules/primeicons/primeicons.css",
          "src/styles.css"
        ],

app.component.ts:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { MenuModule } from 'primeng/menu';
import { MenuItem, MessageService } from 'primeng/api';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  items: MenuItem[];

  constructor(private messageService: MessageService) { }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.items = [{
      label: 'Options',
      items: [{
        label: 'Update',
        icon: 'pi pi-refresh',
        command: () => {
          this.update();
        }
      },
      {
        label: 'Delete',
        icon: 'pi pi-times',
        command: () => {
          this.delete();
        }
      }
      ]
    },
    {
      label: 'Navigate',
      items: [{
        label: 'Angular Website',
        icon: 'pi pi-external-link',
        url: 'http://angular.io'
      },
      {
        label: 'Router',
        icon: 'pi pi-upload',
        routerLink: '/fileupload'
      }
      ]
    }
    ];
  }

  update() {
    this.messageService.add({ severity: 'success', summary: 'Success', detail: 'Data Updated' });
  }

  delete() {
    this.messageService.add({ severity: 'warn', summary: 'Delete', detail: 'Data Deleted' });
  }
}

app.component.html:

<h5>Basic</h5>
<p-menu [model]="items"></p-menu>

<h5>Overlay</h5>
<button type="button" pButton icon="pi pi-bars" label="Show" (click)="menu.toggle($event)"> </button>
<p-menu #menu [popup]="true" [model]="items"></p-menu>

When I run ng serve it will not compile. I get error NG8001: 'p-menu' is not a known element:

ERROR in src/app/app.component.html:3:1 - error NG8001: 'p-menu' is not a known element:

2. If 'p-menu' is a Web Component then add 'CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA' to the '@NgModule.schemas' of this component to suppress this message.

3. To allow any property add 'NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA' to the '@NgModule.schemas' of this component.

I followed all the instructions on PrimeNG's site. Have I missed something? Has anyone else gotten PrimeNG10 Menu to work with Angular?


Solution

  • PrimeNG's Getting Started and/or Menu documentation fails to mention the following:

    In the app.module.ts you need to import:

    import { MenuModule } from 'primeng/menu';

    import { ButtonModule } from 'primeng/button';

    import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

    and add them to the imports.

    In the header of index.html add this link <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/node_modules/primeicons/primeicons.css" />.

    In the angular.json add a theme style "node_modules/primeng/resources/themes/saga-blue/theme.css",

    In the app.component.ts update the constructor with , private primengConfig: PrimeNGConfig from 'primeng/api'.

    Add this statement at the top of the ngOnInit this.primengConfig.ripple = true;
