Tackling the "confirmModal is not defined" Error in Angular 9 Materialize CSS Modals

If you are working with Angular 9 and trying to integrate Materialize CSS for modals, you might face an issue where your methods are not recognized within the modal context. This can be quite frustrating, especially if you've set everything up correctly but are still encountering an error when you click your modal's buttons. In this post, we will explore the problem and guide you through the solution step-by-step.

Understanding the Problem

You have a modal element in your Angular application that includes buttons for confirmation and closing. However, when you attempt to invoke a method on button click, you receive the following error message:

confirmModal is not defined at HTMLButtonElement.onclick

This indicates that the button inside your modal does not properly reference the method defined in your component TypeScript file. Let’s unpack how to resolve this issue.

Solution Breakdown

The root cause of the problem is the incorrect usage of the HTML button’s event binding. In Angular, you should utilize Angular's event binding syntax rather than traditional inline JavaScript event handling. Here’s how to apply the correct approach.

Step 1: Revise Your HTML

Currently, your button is defined like this:

This uses the traditional onclick approach, which won’t work with Angular’s component context. Instead, you should use the Angular binding syntax, which is done using parentheses. Here's how to correctly define the button:

Step 2: Ensure Your Component Setup is Correct

Make sure your component’s TypeScript file correctly implements the necessary Angular lifecycle hooks and that your methods are properly defined. Your component file should look something like this:

Step 3: Testing Your Changes

Once you have made these changes, it's crucial to test your application. Open the modal and click the "confirm" button. You should now see your method being called without any errors.

Summary

In summary, the error you encountered was due to incorrect event binding for your modal's buttons in Angular. By switching from the traditional onclick method to Angular's (click) binding, you can successfully refer to methods defined in your TypeScript file.

Following these steps will ensure that your modal buttons work as expected, allowing seamless user interaction in your Angular 9 application.
