Cumulocity Web SDK 1018.0.240
Detailed explanation of the problem:
I’m trying to use custom formly templates/input fields/input components inside of a device view context.
When I import the tutorial “Custom Element Example” using hookRoute to provide a view context, I get the error Error: [Formly Error] The type "custom1" could not be found.
This can be replicated by using the widget-plugin example and copying over the dynamic forms module from the tutorial.
This works:
imports: [
NgCommonModule,
DynamicFormsModule,
PopoverModule,
RouterModule.forChild([
{ path: 'custom', component: CustomElementExampleComponent }
]),
CoreModule
],
providers: [
{
provide: FORMLY_CONFIG,
multi: true,
useValue: {
types: [
{
name: 'custom',
component: CustomFieldCheckbox
}
]
}
},
],
entryComponents: [CustomFieldCheckbox]
This does not:
imports: [
NgCommonModule,
DynamicFormsModule,
PopoverModule,
CoreModule
],
providers: [
{
provide: FORMLY_CONFIG,
multi: true,
useValue: {
types: [
{
name: 'custom',
component: CustomFieldCheckbox
}
]
}
},
hookRoute([{ path: 'custom', component: CustomElementExampleComponent}]),
],
I want to use hookRoute so that I can have a component within the device view context, i.e,
hookRoute([{ path: 'custom', component: CustomElementExampleComponent, context: ViewContext.Device }]),
Error messages / full error message screenshot / log file:
Note that in the below image, the custom field is custom1. The left screenshot shows the component using the Angualr RouterModule to declar ethe route, the right shows the hookRoute provider being used to slot the component within the device context.
