After researching extensively on stack overflow, I am still struggling to resolve this issue.
The main problem I am facing is related to adding a background image to the header tag in my code. Unfortunately, no matter what I try, the background image refuses to load or display properly.
In an attempt to solve this, I have implemented the DomSanitizer module in my header.component.ts file as shown below:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import {DomSanitizer, SafeStyle} from '@angular/platform-browser';
@Component({
selector: 'my-header',
templateUrl: './header.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./header.component.css']
})
export class HeaderComponent {
backgroundImageStyle: SafeStyle;
constructor(private sanitizer: DomSanitizer) { }
public ngOnInit()
{
this.backgroundImageStyle = this.getBackgroundImageStyle();
}
private getBackgroundImageStyle()
{
let backgroundImage = '../img/header_bg.png';
// sanitize the style expression
const style = `background-image: url(${backgroundImage})`;
return this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustStyle(style);
}
}
I came across this solution on Stack Overflow - Background image in Angular 2
I've even experimented with the following code snippet:
<div [style.background-image]="'url(../img/' + header.png + ')'></div>
Despite my efforts, it seems like there might be something crucial that I am overlooking when it comes to loading a background image using CSS. Can someone provide me with a straightforward approach to achieve this?
This is how I defined the background style in my header.component.css file:
header.background {
width:100%;
float:left;
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
background:url(../img/header_bg.png) repeat #FFFFFF;
display:block;
z-index:999999;
}
And here is the corresponding section in my header.component.html file:
<header class="background">
<img alt="logo" src="../img/clothesline.png" class="img-fluid mx-auto d-block" class="logo">
</header>
Could it be possible that I am missing a required dependency for loading background images? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
