'ng-select items not visible

I added ng-select to a new Angular 11 application, and it seems to be working fine until I open the dropdown. When I open the dropdown, I can select items but I don't really see them. There's 3 errors in the console every time I open the dropdown:

I am honestly not sure what to even look at. It seems to function properly, but it's displayed incorrectly.

package.json (all Angular packages are at 11.0.1):

"@ng-select/ng-select": "^2.20.5",

This is the template:

<ng-select [items]="types"
  bindLabel="name"
  bindValue="id"
  placeholder="Select type"
  [(ngModel)]="selectedType">
</ng-select>

I have added NgSelectModule to my app.module.ts, too.



Solution 1:[1]

I believe this comes down to installing a specific version of ng-select. If you go to https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ng-select/ng-select, you can see the version table. Match your version of Angular with the correct version of ng-select and install that.

For example, if you are using Angular 9, you must run npm i @ng-select/[email protected]. I hope this helps.
