[Ionic 4] error TS2339: Property 'width' does not exist on type 'HTMLIonMenuElement'.

Ionic Info

v4.0.0-alpha.9

Support Question

In v3 Menu use to expose a width() method. Didn't found it in v4. Did I miss something or are they still on the roadmap?

Code

 const menu: HTMLIonMenuElement = await this.menuController.get('myMenu');
 menu.width();

[peterpeterparker]

In v4.0.0-alpha.12 getWidth is there, could confirm it compiles

I'm not there to test it but looks good

Side note:

In Ionic v3 method's name is width() and in v4 getWidth() just in case someone would land on that in the future

@manucorporat Can we document the breaking change for the method name?

[peterpeterparker]

Ok so I just tested, I probably did something wrong, but I was unable to get the width of the menu thru this exposed function, I always get undefined

But I found I guess a workaround

const menu: HTMLIonMenuElement = await this.menuController.get('myMenu');
console.log(menu.getWidth()); // --> undefined
console.log(menu.clientWidth); // --> the width of the menu
