Dropdown menu with Bootstrap in Angular

Question

I'm practising Angular. Here is my practice project on Stackblitz

I followed the Angular tutorial . Everything is great, no problem at all.

Then, I tried this tutorial to add a dropdown menu

• I created a new component "dropdown-basic"
• Copied the dropdown-basic.html file over
• Copied the inhalt of Style tag in index.html to app.component.css
• Modified my app.module.ts according to the module.ts file in tutorial
• Added the dropdown-basic component to app.component.html

But then, the dropdown menu doesn't work. the list items are always shown. And, the buttons don't hide or show the items. I would like some help please, thank you very much.

My screenshot

dropdown-basic.component.html

<div class="row">
  <div class="col">
    <div ngbDropdown class="d-inline-block">
      <button class="btn btn-outline-primary" id="dropdownBasic1" ngbDropdownToggle>Toggle dropdown</button>
      <div ngbDropdownMenu aria-labelledby="dropdownBasic1">
        <button ngbDropdownItem>Action - 1</button>
        <button ngbDropdownItem>Another Action</button>
        <button ngbDropdownItem>Something else is here</button>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

  <div class="col text-right">
    <div ngbDropdown placement="top-right" class="d-inline-block">
      <button class="btn btn-outline-primary" id="dropdownBasic2" ngbDropdownToggle>Toggle dropup</button>
      <div ngbDropdownMenu aria-labelledby="dropdownBasic2">
        <button ngbDropdownItem>Action - 1</button>
        <button ngbDropdownItem>Another Action</button>
        <button ngbDropdownItem>Something else is here</button>

You are missing bootstrap in the index.html

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
