Mention any other details that might be useful

It's not working with universal. I've seen similar issues with other modules.
This could help... valor-software/ngx-bootstrap#2369 (comment)

Hi @alo

Thanks for creating the issue. However can you elaborate on the exact problem your are facing with this library and universal? i mean: what command did you run? what is the stacktrace? any other repro steps will be useful....

[zackarychapple]

@alo, I was running into the same issue. I followed the instructions on adding everything to the module, but also had to add the injector to the root app.component

[alo]

Thanks @zackarychapple. That's it. Even if you don't use it, you have to add the injector to the root app.component

@tinesoft is it enough information for you or can I help you with something?

[neilime]

Here is my workaround :

import { Component, Injector, Inject, PLATFORM_ID } from '@angular/core';
import { isPlatformBrowser } from '@angular/common';
import { NgcCookieConsentService } from 'ngx-cookieconsent';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html'
})
export class AppComponent {

  constructor(    
	@Inject(PLATFORM_ID) private readonly platformId: Object,
    private readonly injector: Injector
  ) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    super.ngOnInit();
    if (!isPlatformBrowser(this.platformId)) {
      return;
    }

    const ccService = this.injector.get(NgcCookieConsentService);
	
    // Configure stuff
    // ...
    ccService.init(ccService.getConfig()); 
  }
}

[Luarb]

ccService.init(ccService.getConfig());

If you Import NgcCookieConsentService as you did, it will trigger this error :

Node Express server listening on http://localhost:4000
ERROR { Error: StaticInjectorError(AppServerModule)[NgcCookieConsentService]:
  StaticInjectorError(Platform: core)[NgcCookieConsentService]:
    NullInjectorError: No provider for NgcCookieConsentService!

but if you do create an Injectable :

import { Injectable, Injector, PLATFORM_ID, Inject } from '@angular/core';
import { NgcCookieConsentService } from 'ngx-cookieconsent';
import { isPlatformServer } from '@angular/common';

@Injectable()
export class CookieLaw {
    constructor(
        private readonly injector: Injector,
        @Inject(PLATFORM_ID) private platformId

    ) {
        if (!isPlatformServer(this.platformId)) {
             this.injector.get(NgcCookieConsentService);
        }
    }

}

and then simply import it in your app.component (also put it as a parameter on the constructor) & app.module . This worked for me.

Edit* :
I forgot to mention, you should import the NgcCookieConsentModule on app.browser.module.

Followed the instruction as documented in Angular 8. But the popup is not cumming in page.

I I have same issue, but i could not been able to solve it. I am running angular universal 10 with following command:
npm run build:ssr && npm run serve:ssr
Which represents:
"serve:ssr": "node dist/compy/server/main.js",
"build:ssr": "ng build --prod && ng run compy:server:production",

And i am getting following error:
ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'initialise' of undefined

did you manage to fix this error in the end? I'm running into the same error

[casper5822]

Hello,
My error is not on initialise.
My problem is that with a custom layout the click to open the popup that doesn't expand the popup.
In my case i have angular 8 + angular universal + domino.

Do you have this problem?

[TGihan]

Hi,
I am also getting the same error when execute npm run server with angular universal

Node Express server listening on http://localhost:4000 ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'initialise' of undefined

"ngx-cookieconsent": "^2.2.3",
Angular 9

[rmartin-sommset]

Hi TGihan, were you able to resolve this initialise issue?
