I'm learning Angular (not AngularJS) and am having trouble getting my template to reference components properly. Currently it doesn't seem to "see" the referenced component, so I'm either not declaring/importing it in the right place, or I'm using the wrong thing to reference the component from the template, or both.
Either way, I need to know how to get my logo to show up in the layouts from a component.
I'll supply a basic version of the problem:
main.ts
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { MonkeyModule } from './monkey/monkey.module';
import { environment } from './environments/environment';
if (environment.production) {
enableProdMode();
}
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(MonkeyModule)
.catch(err => console.error(err));
index.html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<base href="/">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
</head>
<body>
<parentComponent></parentComponent>
</body>
</html>
monkey.module.ts
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { parentComponent } from './parent.component';
import { childComponent } from './child.component';
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule
],
declarations: [
parentComponent,
childComponent
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [parentComponent]
})
export class MonkeyModule { }
parent.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { childComponent } from './child.component';
@Component({
selector: 'parentComponent',
templateUrl: './parent.component.html'
})
export class parentComponent {
}
parent.component.html
<div>
This is the Parent!
<childComponent></childComponent>
</div>
child.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'childComponent',
templateUrl: './child.component.html'
})
export class childComponent {
}
child.component.html
<div>
This is the child.
</div>
After lots of experimentation, the entire problem seems to boil down to a capital letter in the selector.
The following solves my monkey module problem: parent.component.html
child.component.ts
