错误类型错误：无法读取未定义的属性（读取“nativeElement”）

Question

I recently upgrade the dependencies within my package.json to their latest versions. The dependencies were outdated by atleast 2 years or maybe more. The site i'm working on displays various kinds of graphs and charts and it was working fine before the upgrade to the package.json. What would be the reason for this?

This is the updated package.json

{
  "name": "pipeline-viewer",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "ng": "ng",
    "start": "ng serve",
    "build": "ng build",
    "test": "ng test",
    "lint": "ng lint",
    "e2e": "ng e2e"
  },
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "^12.0.0",
    "@angular/cdk": "^12.0.0",
    "@angular/common": "^12.0.0",
    "@angular/compiler": "^12.0.0",
    "@angular/core": "^12.0.0",
    "@angular/flex-layout": "^12.0.0-beta.35",
    "@angular/forms": "^12.0.0",
    "@angular/material": "^12.0.0",
    "@angular/material-moment-adapter": "^12.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "^12.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^12.0.0",
    "@angular/router": "^12.0.0",
    "@wizpanda/super-gif": "0.0.5",
    "angular-plotly.js": "^4.0.4",
    "bootstrap": "^5.1.3", 
    "moment": "^2.29.1",
    "plotly.js": "^2.5.1",
    "rxjs": "^7.4.0",
    "rxjs-compat": "^6.6.7",
    "zone.js": "^0.11.4"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "^12.0.0",
    "@angular/cli": "^12.0.0",
    "@angular/compiler-cli": "^12.0.0"
  }
}

This is the old package.json that displays the graphs and charts.

{
  "name": "pipeline-viewer",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "ng": "ng",
    "start": "ng serve",
    "build": "ng build",
    "test": "ng test",
    "lint": "ng lint",
    "e2e": "ng e2e"
  },
  "private": true,
  "dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "^7.1.4",
    "@angular/cdk": "^7.3.7",
    "@angular/common": "~7.1.0",
    "@angular/compiler": "~7.1.0",
    "@angular/core": "~7.1.0",
    "@angular/flex-layout": "^7.0.0-beta.24",
    "@angular/forms": "~7.1.0",
    "@angular/material": "^7.3.3",
    "@angular/material-moment-adapter": "^8.1.2",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "~7.1.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "~7.1.0",
    "@angular/router": "~7.1.0",
    "@wizpanda/super-gif": "0.0.5",
    "angular-plotly.js": "^1.3.2",
    "bootstrap": "^4.2.1",
    "moment": "^2.24.0",
    "plotly.js": "^1.49.0",
    "rxjs": "~6.3.3",
    "rxjs-compat": "^6.3.3",
    "zone.js": "~0.8.26"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "~0.11.0",
    "@angular/cli": "~7.1.3",
    "@angular/compiler-cli": "~7.1.0"
  }
}

Answer 1

it's related to viewChild changes in Angular +8

Change

@ViewChild('element') element: ElementRef;

To

@ViewChild('element', {static: true}) element: ElementRef;
// to access your view Child in ngOnInit

Same thing for ContentChild
