I am tring to use Angular material md-datepicker
inside a Bootstrap modal but, on clicking the date the modal popup hides. How can i solve that problem?
I had the same problem, and found that this solution to a similar question actually solved the problem. You just need to add the following style to the HTML code of your modal window:
<style>
.md-datepicker-calendar-pane {
z-index: 1200;
}
</style>
The other upvoted answer to the same question says that you can also modify the angular-material.css
file and change the z-index there, but I don't recommend modifying the source files because your change may be reverted if you decide to update the library.
The accepted answer doesn't work for @angular/material 5.0.0-rc0
.
Instead add in the <your_component>.component.scss
file:
::ng-deep .cdk-overlay-container{
z-index: 1200 !important;
}
::ng-deep (or /deep/) prefix needs to be used because of the view encapsulation. Note that deep is marked as deprecated in the documentation and using cdk-overlay-container
is probably not a good practice since future material module changes might break it.
The working solution for me with @angular/material 5.2.4 is to add my css file following part.
.cdk-overlay-container {
z-index: 1200;
}
