I'm having trouble accessing an element in a list of ElementRefs in Angular. I want to loop through the entire list of them and update their CSS properties accordingly.
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChild('div') my_divs:QueryList<ElementRef>;
constructor() {
}
ngAfterViewInit() {
}
do_something() {
for(var i=0; i<this.my_divs.length; i ){
//THIS IS WRONG
this.my_divs[i].nativeElement.style.background_color = "red";
}
}
}
However I'm running into this error:
Element implicitly has an 'any' type because type 'QueryList<ElementRef<any>>' has no index signature. Did you mean to call 'get'?
But when I change the indexing to a get I get possibly undefined...
CodePudding user response:
I did change the decorator to ViewChildren but also added this:
@ViewChildren('div', {read: ElementRef}) my_divs:QueryList<ElementRef>;
Then I was able to change the for
loop to a forEach
