Topic: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'setDataSource')
Expected behavior
The properties of undefined reading 'setDataSource' or not found.
Code sample of mdbootstrap:
import {Component, HostListener, ViewChild} from '@angular/core';
import {MdbTableDirective} from 'PATH-TO-MDB-ANGULAR';
@Component({
selector: 'search-table',
templateUrl: './search-table.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./search-table.component.scss']
})
export class SearchTableComponent {
@ViewChild(MdbTableDirective, {static: true}) mdbTable:MdbTableDirective;
elements: any = [];
headElements = ['ID', 'First', 'Last', 'Handle'];
searchText: string = '';
previous: string;
constructor() { }
@HostListener('input') oninput() {
this.searchItems();
}
ngOnInit() {
for (let i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
this.elements.push({
id:i.toString(),
first: 'Wpis' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * i * 10)).toString(),
last: 'Last' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * i * 10)).toString(),
handle: 'Handle' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * i * 10)).toString()
});
}
this.mdbTable.setDataSource(this.elements);
this.previous = this.mdbTable.getDataSource();
}
searchItems() {
const prev = this.mdbTable.getDataSource();
if (!this.searchText) {
this.mdbTable.setDataSource(this.previous);
this.elements = this.mdbTable.getDataSource();
}
if (this.searchText) {
this.elements = this.mdbTable.searchLocalDataByMultipleFields(this.searchText, ['first', 'last']);
this.mdbTable.setDataSource(prev);
}
}
}

Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)
No erro in the console. Value of searchPDV is the value typed.
After typed the array always return empty.
Remember, the value in the mdbTable is False and the search is multiple fields, see image two, line 306:
@ViewChild(MdbTableDirective, { static: false }) mdbTable: MdbTableDirective;
When you use *ngIf directive on the element with mdbTable, you need to use { static: false } to get access to the table methods in ngAfterViewInit hook. Otherwise, Angular won't be able to find the MdbTableDirective.

The error for setDataSource its Ok.
But, the searchLocalDataByMultipleFields function does not work.
This function return a empty array of tableData.
Code:
buscaPDV(): void {
console.log('SearchPdv: ',this.searchPDV)
const prev = this.mdbTable.getDataSource();
if (!this.searchPDV) {
this.mdbTable.setDataSource(this.previous);
this.tableData = this.mdbTable.getDataSource();
}
if (this.searchPDV) {
this.tableData = this.mdbTable.searchLocalDataByMultipleFields(
this.searchPDV, ['razaoSocial', 'cnpj', 'email', 'cidade', 'uf'] );
this.mdbTable.setDataSource(prev);
}
}

Are there any errors in the console when you try to use the search method? What is the value of searchPDV variable when the component returns an empty array?

We just tested this directive and could not reproduce such a problem. Which version of Angular and MDB Angular do you use?
Could you please provide some more information about the HTML code (the part when you use the
mdbTabledirective)? Is the element with themdbTablerendered on component init?allancmello pro commented 1 year ago
HI,
Angular version 14!
Is rendered in ngAfterViewInit
