Troubleshooting Bootstrap 5 Modals in NG-Bootstrap 15

As developers update their applications to use the latest frameworks and libraries, they often encounter unexpected challenges. One common issue arises when upgrading from NG-Bootstrap v11 with Bootstrap 4 to NG-Bootstrap v15 with Bootstrap 5. Developers have reported that modals are not displaying correctly, and variables appear as undefined. If you have recently upgraded and are experiencing this issue, you are not alone. Here’s a breakdown of the problem and how to effectively resolve it.

The Problem: Undefined Bootstrap Variables

After upgrading to NG-Bootstrap v15 and Bootstrap 5, it might seem like you have everything set up correctly. You’ve imported the necessary SCSS files, run the command ng add @ ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap, and yet, you still face modals that don't display as anticipated. The culprit? Undefined Bootstrap variables in the browser.

Common Symptoms

Bootstrap variables appearing as undefined in your stylesheets

Modals not displaying or rendering incorrectly

CSS files compiling without errors but producing unexpected visual results

Understanding the Cause

Upon closer inspection in our case, it was discovered that the issue stemmed from using css-vars-ponyfill. This is a polyfill that helps older browsers recognize CSS custom properties (variables). Unfortunately, in this scenario, it caused a conflict with the updated Bootstrap variables, which resulted in them being overwritten and left undefined.

The Solution: Removing css-vars-ponyfill

Step-by-Step Guide to Fixing the Issue

Identify the Use of css-vars-ponyfill: First, check your project for the use of css-vars-ponyfill. Review your package.json or any related imports in your stylesheets.

Remove the Polyfill: If you are actively using this polyfill, you can simply remove it from your project. This can be done by uninstalling it through npm or removing the related script import in your Angular files.

Clear Browser Cache: After making these changes, ensure to clear your browser cache to remove any old references to the now-removed polyfill.

Re-test Your Application: Restart your Angular application and check if the modals are displaying correctly and if the Bootstrap variables are now defined.

Verify with Browser Developer Tools: Utilize browser developer tools to inspect the elements and confirm that the variables are recognized properly in the design.

Conclusion

By identifying and removing the css-vars-ponyfill, most users have resolved the issues surrounding modal displays and undefined Bootstrap variables. If you’re still facing issues after following these steps, ensure that all Bootstrap files are correctly linked and that you are using compatible versions.

This resolution serves as a reminder of the complexities involved in updating web technologies. Keeping a keen eye on dependencies and understanding the compatibility of various libraries will lead to smoother upgrades in the future.

If you find yourself facing similar issues, remember to double-check your configurations and consider the potential impact of polyfills on your projects. Happy coding!
