In my app-root component I have router-outlet in container with some styles.
I have route:
{
path: 'some-path',
component: ChildContainer,
data: { variable:'variable' },
}
And I can to get variable in ChildContainer, but I need it in AppRoot. So, from documentation I can get it from child, but if I do this in AppRoot constructor:
const state: RouterState = router.routerState;
const root: ActivatedRoute = state.root;
const child = root.firstChild;
and console.log(root, child) - child is null, and root contains correct child (invoke property getter).
So, how can I get variable in AppRoot?
You may tap into activate event to get reference of instantiated component inside the router outlet.
Check This SO question
#Component({
selector: 'my-app',
template: `<h3 class="title">Basic Angular 2</h3>
<router-outlet (activate)="onActivate($event)" ></router-outlet>
`
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor(){}
onActivate(componentRef){
componentRef.sayhello();
}
}
#Component({
selector: 'my-app',
template: `<h3 class="title">Dashboard</h3>
`
})
export class DashboardComponent {
constructor(){}
sayhello(){
console.log('hello!!');
}
}
Here is the Plunker!!
Update
expose ActivatedRoute as a public property and once you have the routed component reference, subscribe to data,
onActivate(componentRef){
componentRef.route.data.subsribe(data => {
console.log(data);
});
}

I have a problem with reloading my child component from parent component in Angular.
Here is an example of what I want to do.
This is my child component
import { Component } from "#angular/core";
#Component({
selector: "app-child",
template: `<p> {{ticks}} </p>`,
styleUrls: ["./child.component.css"]
})
export class ChildComponent {
ticks = Date.now().valueOf();
constructor() {}
update(): void {
this.ticks = Date.now().valueOf();
}
}
And here is my parent component:
import { Component, OnInit, ViewChild } from '#angular/core';
import { ChildComponent } from './../child/child.component';
#Component({
selector: 'app-parent',
templateUrl: './parent.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./parent.component.css'],
})
export class ParentComponent implements OnInit {
#ViewChild(ChildComponent, { static: false }) childC: ChildComponent;
showChild: boolean = true;
constructor() {}
ngOnInit() {}
onUpdateChild() {
this.childC.update();
}
}
Parent Component HTML :
<p>
parent works!
<button (click)="onUpdateChild()">update</button>
<app-child *ngIf="showChild"></app-child>
<app-child *ngIf="showChild"></app-child>
</p>
The main problem is that if I use my child component multiple time, and trying to click on “update” button, it just updates one of my child component that is used in parent component, but I want to update all same child component in parent component, here is what happens when you click on “update” button, only first value will change, not both.
How can I fix it ?!?
You can use #ViewChildren and QueryList to do what you are looking for.
#ViewChildren(ChildComponent) childrenC!: QueryList<ChildComponent>;
And your function would look like:
onUpdateChild() { //I would rename it to onUpdateChildren
if(this.childrenC) {
this.childrenC.forEach((childC: ChildComponent) => {
this.childC.update();
});
}
}
If you wanted your child component to update on it's own - as stated by a comment to your original post - this is an example of what you could do so you wouldn't even need the update button:
import { Component, OnInit } from "#angular/core";
#Component({
selector: "app-child",
template: `<p> {{ticks}} </p>`,
styleUrls: ["./child.component.css"]
})
export class ChildComponent implements OnInit {
ticks = Date.now().valueOf();
constructor() {}
ngOnInit(): void {
setInterval(() => {
this.ticks = Date.now().valueOf();
}, 1000); //updates every 1 second
}
}
Another option you can do without using a button is to use #Input with the ticks property that updates the value from the parent through an input.
I am trying to call view child of a child component from parent and getting undefined in the console.
see the image also see the stack blaze for the same
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ivy-k4m2hp?file=src%2Fapp%2Fhello.component.ts
import { Component, Input, OnInit, ViewChild } from '#angular/core';
import { TestChildComponent } from './test-child/test-child.component';
#Component({
selector: 'hello',
template: `<h1>this is Hello component {{name}}!</h1>`,
styles: [`h1 { font-family: Lato; }`],
})
export class HelloComponent {
#Input() name: string;
#ViewChild('TestChildComponent') testChildComponent: TestChildComponent
ngOnInit() {
console.log('calling ngOninit in hello component');
console.log('going to call test child instance this.TestChildComponent.ngOninit')
console.log(this.testChildComponent);
}
}
Please help to get the child component
this.testChildComponent
So that i can call ngOnInit of child from parent.
this.testChildComponent.ngOnInit()
ViewChild element ref can be accessed in ngAfterViewInit() cycle the earliest.
Angular doc says we should use the child component injected by ViewChild in ngAfterViewInit. But sometimes you even can’t get it in ngAfterViewInit. The reason is, the child component is not created yet when AfterViewInit hook runs. For such a case you would have to wait more (using a setTimeout would work but it's a bad idea). Other option would be to have the child emit something to the parent, letting it know the child has been rendered and then the parent can query it.
But your case is that sibling HelloComponent wants to query sibling TestChildComponent it can't do that. TestChildComponent is just not in the scope for HelloComponent. Easiest solution would be to query TestChildComponent from the parent AppComponent.
You should also add #TestChildComponent to access the ref.
<app-test-child #TestChildComponent childname="{{ name }}"></app-test-child>
Working example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-ivy-j5ceat?file=src%2Fapp%2Fapp.component.html
if you set your viewChild { static: true } you will be able to access it in ngOnInit
but in your sample the issue is due totestChildComponent is a child of app.component and not hello.component
<app-test-child childname="{{ name }}" #test></app-test-child>
app.component.ts
import { Component, VERSION, ViewChild } from '#angular/core';
import { TestChildComponent } from './test-child/test-child.component';
#Component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
})
export class AppComponent {
name = 'this is from app compoenent';
#ViewChild('test', { static: true }) testChildComponent: TestChildComponent;
ngOnInit() {
console.log('calling ngOninit in app component');
console.log(this.testChildComponent);
}
}
If you want to access testChildComponent from hello.component you will have to send it the component as an input for sample
following a working sample of accessing testChildComponent

I am trying to pass an array to a child component. The array is being defined in the subscribe method of a parent component's onInit lifecycle hook.
Parent component:
import { Component, OnInit } from '#angular/core';
#Component({
selector: 'selector-parent',
templateUrl: 'parent.component.html'
})
export class ParentComponent implements OnInit {
array: [];
constructor() { }
ngOnInit() {
this.appDataService.getValues()
.subscribe(
value => {
value.item
.filter(loaded => !this.array.some(existing => existing.key === loaded.key))
.forEach(loaded => { this.array.push(loaded) })
}
)
}
}
Child component:
import { Component, OnInit } from '#angular/core';
#Component({
selector: '[selector-child]',
templateUrl: 'child.component.html'
})
export class ChildComponent implements OnInit {
#Input() inputArray: [];
constructor() { }
ngOnInit() {
console.log(this.inputArray)
}
}
Binding is: <tr selector-child [inputArray]="array"></tr>
Unfortunately, the console log on the inputArray is turning up undefined. I've tried using ngOnChanges in the child component but for some reason, it won't recognize the change in the parent. Thinking of using a service to pass the data if there isn't a simpler way to solve the problem.
You have to initialize the array in your parent component:
array: [] = [];
I don't see ngOnChanges in your child component. Also, make sure you do it as how it specified in the angular docs. https://angular.io/guide/component-interaction#intercept-input-property-changes-with-ngonchanges
I've html structure like this :
Parent Component where both Comp1 and Comp2 resides :
now in comp1 I've some elements if that changes then I've to reflect values in comp2 but there's no connection between them.
Comp1 :
import { Component } from '#angular/core';
import { Comp2Component } from 'comp2.component';
#Component({
selector: 'comp1',
templateUrl: './comp1.html'
})
export class Comp1Component {
sortBy(value)
{
this.FeedSortBy = value;
this.SortByLabel = this.SortByLabelList[value];
Comp2Component.filterActivities();
}
}
Comp2
import { Component } from '#angular/core';
#Component({
selector: 'comp2',
templateUrl: './comp2.html'
})
export class Comp2Component {
filterActivities()
{
//call this function on comp1 sort function call so it will update value of comp2
}
}
As per Rahul and Sajit's answer I try using with EventEmitter and change my structure to parent child :
In my parent component I use :
import { Component,EventEmitter, Input, Output, OnInit } from '#angular/core';
import { FeedsComponent } from '../feeds/feeds.component';
#Component({
selector: 'my-desk',
styleUrls: ['../../assets/css/style.min.css'],
templateUrl: './my-desk.component.html'
})
export class MyDeskComponent {
#Output() FeedSortBy = new EventEmitter<string>();
sortBy(value)
{
this.FeedSortBy.emit(value);
}
}
and in my child component I use :
import { Component, OnInit, Input, Output } from '#angular/core';
import { DataService } from '../data.service';
declare var $: any;
#Component({
selector: 'feeds',
styleUrls: ['../../assets/css/style.min.css'],
templateUrl: './feeds.component.html'
})
export class FeedsComponent {
constructor(private dataService:DataService)
{
}
#Input() FeedSortBy:number = 2;
}
Child component HTML :
{{FeedSortBy}}
But it always output 2 it doesn't change can I get any trigger as well to know if value is change so I call function there
You cannot do that, There are two possible ways you could achieve this,
use angular service to pass the data between two components
use Event Emitters to pass the value among the components.
You can call method of another component from a different component but it will not update the value of the calling component without some tweaking like
Event Emitters if they have a parent child relationship or Shared Services or using ngrx redux pattern
How to Call a different component method be like
Component1
test(){
console.log("Test");
}
Component 2
working(){
let component = new Component1();
component.test();
}
Now to update the value in component 2 you might have to use any of the above.
For Event Emitters follow this link
For Shared services follow this link
For ngrx follow this link
On my parent page I have a link here:
<a (click)="showPermissionsRates(5757);">Link</a>
The function sets it:
showPermissionsRates(item) {
this.currentEventPoolId = item;
}
With a child component on the parent page here:
<app-event-pools-permissions-rates [eventPoolId]="currentEventPoolId "></app-event-pools-permissions-rates>
And then in my child component TS file I use:
inputs: ['eventPoolId']
But how do I get that value of '5757' in the child component? Such as using alert?
You should be able to just use #Input() on the child property.
I've put this together showing a VERY basic example, but without more to go on regarding your issues, it's hard to know what you need:
https://plnkr.co/edit/y9clOla1WrPFmhMJoz7o?p=preview
The gist is to use #Input() to mark your inputs in the child component, and map those in the template of the parent.
import {Component} from '#angular/core'
import {BrowserModule} from '#angular/platform-browser'
import { ChildComponent } from 'child.component.ts';
#Component({
selector: 'my-app',
template: `
<div>
<button (click)="changeProperty('ABC 123')">Click Me!</button>
<child-component [childProperty]="parentProperty"></child-component>
</div>
`,
})
export class App {
public parentProperty: string = "parentProp";
public changeProperty(newProperty: string) : void {
this.parentProperty = newProperty;
}
}
Then, in the child:
import {Component, Input} from '#angular/core'
#Component({
selector: 'child-component',
template: `
<div>Hello World: {{ childProperty }}</div>
`,
})
export class ChildComponent {
#Input()
childProperty:string;
constructor() {
this.childProperty = 'childProp'
}
}
I think you are setting value to at input variable in a click event, then you have to listen for it in the child component constructor using ngonchanges
ngOnChanges(changes: SimpleChanges) {
if(changes['eventpoolid'] && changes['eventpoolid'].currentValue) {
// you get updated value here
}
}
