NgbDatepicker popup in shadow dom closes itself when clicking on it

[lucbu01]

Hey, I'm using your datepicker component in a shadow dom and when I open the popup and click inside of it, for example to change the year, the popup closes itself. I don't really know how you detect if the click was made inside the popup, but I made a breakpoint and saw that when you use something like document.elementsFromPoint(event.clientX, event.clientY), it will return only elements before the shadow-root, where the component is inside:

We'll need a minimal reproduction scenario: StackBlitz or maybe a GitHub project in this case might be simpler. Otherwise not much we can do.

Autoclose implementaion we have is here → https://github.com/ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap/blob/master/src/util/autoclose.ts

Please take a look at the Getting Help section in documentation and use the appropriate support channel.

If you believe you've found a bug in this library then please:

• fill in the issue template correctly

Would like this to be fixed soon, facing the same issue.

We are also not able to use the Datepicker due to this issue.

Do you have some updates to this issue? We plan using this component for long time inside of web-components.

i am also facing same issue when i enable shadowdom it just get closed on every click no matter where you click , without shadowdom it is working fine but not with shadowdom

The Problem is, that ng-bootstrap has an ngbAutoClose-Listener. Within this listener the event.target is used:
https://github.com/ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap/blob/master/src/util/autoclose.ts#L37

In ShadowDOM this event.target works different and return the shadowRoot element and not the clicked element. The problem is described here: https://tinytip.co/tips/js-event-composed-path/

Workaround Set autoClose to false and write your own Close-Handler.

I was able to overcome the issue by changing event.target in https://github.com/ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap/blob/master/src/util/autoclose.ts#L37 to event.composedPath()[0] using patch-package. Not sure whether it is acceptable solution for the library though.

Any updates on this?
I also have such issue related to the encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.ShadowDom
