Usually, this error occurs when you are trying to access the ‘template’ property of an undefined object. The error message specifically points to the matheaderrowdef.extractcelltemplate
function.
To understand this error, let’s consider an example. Imagine you have an Angular application using the Material Design table component. You define the table structure in your component template file like this:
<table mat-table [dataSource]="dataSource">
<ng-container matColumnDef="id">
<th mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef>ID</th>
<td mat-cell *matCellDef="let element">{{ element.id }}</td>
</ng-container>
<tr mat-header-row *matHeaderRowDef="displayedColumns"></tr>
<tr mat-row *matRowDef="let row; columns: displayedColumns;"></tr>
</table>
In this example, the issue could arise if the displayedColumns
array is not defined or if it is empty. The displayedColumns
array is used to define which columns should be displayed in the table rows. If this array is undefined or empty, the matHeaderRowDef
function cannot read the ‘template’ property of it, resulting in the mentioned error.
To fix this error, you need to make sure that the displayedColumns
array is properly defined and has at least one column defined in it. For example:
export class YourComponent {
displayedColumns: string[] = ['id', 'name', 'email'];
// ...
}
In this updated example, we have defined the displayedColumns
array with three column names: ‘id’, ‘name’, and ’email’. Now, the matheaderrowdef.extractcelltemplate
function will be able to access the ‘template’ property of the displayedColumns
array without any errors.
