I tried to get the element width using nativeElement.offsetWidth but it's 2.5px lesser than the actual width. I was wondering what I'm missing?
I tried to inspect the DOM and try to find where the 2.5px but I cant find it anywhere:
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
@ViewChild('sidebarSection') sectionContainer:ElementRef;
getNavbarWidth(){
return this.sectionContainer.nativeElement.offsetWidth;
}
}
<body>
<div class='wrapper'>
<div class='row'>
<div class='cell col s3'>
<div #sidebarSection>
<nav-menu></nav-menu>
</div>
</div>
<div class="cell col s9">
<section Id='main'>
<router-outlet>
...
</router-outlet>
</section>
</div>
</div>
</div>
For example, on the devtool it shows 329.5px but the offsetWidth only returns 327px.
.main-nav {
box-sizing: border-box;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
z-index: 1;
}
.navbar-nav > li > a {
color: wh
}
@media (min-width: 768px) {
/* On small screens, convert the nav menu to a vertical sidebar */
.main-nav {
background-color: #56004e;
height: 100%;
width: calc(25% - 20px);
}
.navbar {
background-color: #56004e;
border-radius: 0px;
border-width: 0px;
height: 100%;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
.navbar-header {
float: none;
}
.navbar-collapse {
border-top: 1px solid #444;
padding: 0px;
}
}
NOTE : if you are not using
cssreset you sure need it will solve issue like that .
