ng5 update to ng7 ie11 animation error, object unsupport “matches”property or method












0















When my project was upgraded from angular 5 to angular 7, I found a compatibility problem between ie11 and edge. When using animation, I would report the following error, but this error doesn't report in chrome.




ERROR TypeError: Object unsupport "matches" property or method
WebAnimationsDriver.prototype.matchesElement in @angular/animations/fesm5/browser.js




I tried to upgrade zone and web-animation-js to the latest version, but none of them solved the problem.

          You could check the package version, then upgrade the version.



          If still meet this error, you could refer to this thread and try to add the following in the polyfill.ts file:

          }
