So i’ve tried to look into the modal object and compare it with fresh ionic project
i’ve noticed that it has en $el element and that in the fresh project it had value of JQlite[1] and in my other project (the non working) it had other value , this was caused by my main project loading jquery as dependency
i removed that dependency (jQuery) and the value of $el is now the same yet i still don’t see the modal html.
i expanded the $el element and its first property is a div with value modal-backdrop.hide
where as the proper working modal has a property of modal-backdrop (without the hide)
found the problem
link href=“css/bootstrap.min.css” rel="stylesheet"
ootstrap.min.css
im importing it because i need a calendar widget
upon removing it ionic own css setting worked
