错误错误：未捕获（承诺）：TypeError：无法读取未定义的属性“ nativeElement”

Question

I am getting the following error: ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: Cannot read property 'nativeElement' of undefined.

This occurs when I try to add a div with an ngIf and inside a google map:

HTML:

                <div class="form-group">
                <label>Location by map?</label>
                <mat-select formControlName="ubication" [(ngModel)]="mapVisibility" class="form-control" placeholder="Select option">
                    <mat-option disabled>Select option</mat-option>
                    <mat-option value="visible">Yes</mat-option>
                    <mat-option value="hidden">No</mat-option>
                </mat-select>
            </div>

            <div *ngIf="mapVisibility === 'visible'">
                <div class="example-form">
                    <mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
                        <input matInput type="text" (keydown.enter)="$event.preventDefault()" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="off" #agmSearch placeholder="Enter address">
                    </mat-form-field>
                </div>

                <agm-map id="googleMap" [latitude]="lat" [longitude]="lng" [zoom]="zoom">
                    <agm-marker [latitude]="lat" [longitude]="lng" [markerDraggable]="true" (dragEnd)="markerDragEnd($event)"></agm-marker>
                </agm-map>
            </div>

TS:

mapVisibility: string;

ngOnInit() {
    this.getPlacesAutocomplete();
}

getPlacesAutocomplete() {
// load Places Autocomplete
this.mapsAPILoader.load().then(() => {
this.setCurrentLocation();
this.geoCoder = new google.maps.Geocoder;

let autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(this.searchElementRef.nativeElement, {
  types: ['address']
});
autocomplete.addListener('place_changed', () => {
  this.ngZone.run(() => {
  // get the place result
  let place: google.maps.places.PlaceResult = autocomplete.getPlace();

  // verify result
  if (place.geometry === undefined || place.geometry === null) {
    return;
  }

  // set latitude, longitude and zoom
  this.lat = place.geometry.location.lat();
  this.lng = place.geometry.location.lng();
  this.zoom = 12;
  });
 });
});
}

private setCurrentLocation() {
if ('geolocation' in navigator) {
  navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition((position) => {
    this.lat = position.coords.latitude;
    this.lng = position.coords.longitude;
    this.zoom = 15;
    this.getAddress(this.lat, this.lng);
  });
}
}

  getAddress(latitude, longitude) {
this.geoCoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
this.geoCoder.geocode({ 'location': { lat: latitude, lng: longitude } }, (results, status) => {
  console.log(results);
  if (status === 'OK') {
    if (results[0]) {
      this.zoom = 12;
      this.address = results[0].address_components[1].long_name + ' ' + results[0].address_components[0].long_name;
    } else {
      window.alert('No results found');
    }
  } else {
    window.alert('Geocoder failed due to: ' + status);
  }
});
}

I extracted the code from here: Angular 8/7 | Add Google Maps with Location Search in Angular 2 plus Applications using Angular Google Maps Module (@agm/core) Easily

ERROR: Image error

Although I get this error, the map works fine, but I cannot implement the search for places by entering an address in an input, which does work if I remove the div that contains the ngIf. what is this about? Any ideas?

Answer 1

use ngAfterViewInit instead of ngOnInit

ngAfterViewInit () {
    this.getPlacesAutocomplete();
}

View queries are set before the ngAfterViewInit callback is called.

you need the change the *ngIf to hidden this way the elemnt will be avilable otherwise the searchElementRef will be null until the condition is true

<div [hidden]="mapVisibility === 'visible'">
 ...
</div>

Answer 2

Call your function after the Component is initialized (DOM Loaded) on ngAfterViewInit

ngAfterViewInit() {
    this.getPlacesAutocomplete();
}

Or surround your code on setTimeout (Bad idea) :

ngOnInit() {

setTimeout( _ =>   this.getPlacesAutocomplete() , 1000)

}

if you are using ngAfterViewInit don't forget class MyComponent implements AfterViewInit
