Topic: Side Nav - Page Reload - Auto Expand with route parameters on active link
Expected behavior
When reloading the page, if the current route has route parameters then the sub-menu mdb-accordion-item should auto expand.
Actual behavior
The sub menu item shows active but the mdb-accordion-item remains closed.
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)
The menu is as follows:
<header>
  <mdb-side-nav #sidenav class="wide sn-bg-1 fixed special-color" [sidenavBreakpoint]="1200">
    <mdb-navbar-brand>
      <li>
        <div class="logo-wrapper sn-ad-avatar-wrapper icon-pad">
          <mdb-icon fas icon="rocket" size="3x"></mdb-icon>
        </div>
      </li>
    </mdb-navbar-brand>
    <links>
      <li>
        <ul class="collapsible collapsible-accordion">
          <mdb-accordion [multiple]="false" aria-multiselectable="false">
            <mdb-accordion-item class="no-collase">
              <mdb-accordion-item-head mdbWavesEffect routerLinkActive="active" routerLink="home">
                <mdb-icon fas icon="home"></mdb-icon>Home
              </mdb-accordion-item-head>
            </mdb-accordion-item>
            <mdb-accordion-item>
              <mdb-accordion-item-head mdbWavesEffect><mdb-icon fas icon="columns"></mdb-icon>Dashboard
              </mdb-accordion-item-head>
              <mdb-accordion-item-body>
                <ul>
                  <li><a routerLinkActive="active" routerLink="dashboard/environment-summary" href="#" mdbWavesEffect><div class="div-pad"></div> Environment Summary</a></li>
                  <li><a routerLinkActive="active" routerLink="dashboard/application-summary" href="#" mdbWavesEffect><div class="div-pad"></div> Application Summary</a></li>
                </ul>
              </mdb-accordion-item-body>
            </mdb-accordion-item>
          </mdb-accordion>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </links>
  </mdb-side-nav>
</header>
And the following routes exist:
{ path: 'dashboard/application-summary', pathMatch: 'full', component: ApplicationSummaryComponent },
{ path: 'dashboard/application-summary/:id', component: ApplicationSummaryComponent },
{ path: 'dashboard/environment-summary', pathMatch: 'full', component: EnvironmentSummaryComponent },
{ path: 'dashboard/environment-summary/:id', component: EnvironmentSummaryComponent },
And when you load with a URL of just /dashboard/application-summary then the nav will expand:

However when you have the URL of /dashboard/application-summary/2 it doesn't expand, but if you manually expand it you do see the sub-menu item highlighted. (E.g. Application Summary)

We will take a closer look at this problem and let you know what we found. Can you confirm that you use MDB Angular v10.1.1?
itamadmin pro premium priority commented 5 years ago
Correct, from checking the
node_modules/ng-uikit-pro-standard/package.jsonit lists"version": "10.1.1",Nate commented 4 years ago
Was there ever a resolution to this problem?
Arkadiusz Idzikowski staff commented 4 years ago
@Nate We added a fix in the v10.1.1 but it turns out that in some cases the problem still occurs.
If this bug occurs in your application, please provide a bit more information about the MDB version and the HTML/TS code you are using. This will be of great help in finding the cause of the problem.

Facing the same issue in mdb5 beta6. Sub-menu link is set as "active" but the menu is collapsed
