Parent Component
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { ChildComponent } from './notify.component';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
template:
`
<button (click)="submit()">Call Child Component Method</button>
`
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor(private childComp: ChildComponent) {
}
submit(): void {
// execute child component method
// This line is compiled properly but at the run time it gives me error related to the static injector## Heading ##
childComp.callMethod();
}
}
Child component
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'child',
template: '<h3>Child component {{test}}</h3>'
})
export class ChildComponent implements OnInit {
test:string;
constructor() { }
ngOnInit() { }
callMethod(): void {
console.log('successfully executed.');
this.test = 'Me';
}
}
I am getting an error for the static injector, I am not able to inject the child component in the parent component. Here is the error.
StaticInjectorError(AppModule)[AppComponent -> ChildComponent]:
StaticInjectorError[ChildComponet]:
NullInjectorError: No provider for ChildComponet!
I have added the reference in the Appmodule and added the component in the declaration. Still, I am facing the same issue.
Please Help!!
Update:
just export the child like <app-child #child></app-child>
and then
you can call all methods using child
like : <button> (click)="child.callMethod()">Call</button>
Parent.html
<app-child #child></app-child>
<button (click)="child.callMethod()">Call</button>
Old answer
You can use @ViewChild
by Parent like in example:
Parent
import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { ChildComponent } from './child.component';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor() { }
@ViewChild(ChildComponent) private myChild: ChildComponent;
submit() {
this.myChild.callMethod();
}
}
Child:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'child',
template: `<h3>Child component {{test}}</h3>`
})
export class ChildComponent {
test = 0;
callMethod() {
console.log('successfully executed.');
this.test++;
}
}
Here is a worked example
You can achieve this by introducing a concept called @Viewchild
which allows allows a one component to be injected into another, giving the parent access to its attributes and functions.
for example:
Parent component
import { Component, ViewChild, AfterViewInit } from '@angular/core';
import { ChildComponent } from "../child/child.component";
@Component({
selector: 'app-parent',
template: `
Message: {{ message }}
<app-child></app-child>
`,styleUrls: ['./parent.component.css']
})
export class ParentComponent implements AfterViewInit {
@ViewChild(ChildComponent) child;
constructor() { }
message:string;
ngAfterViewInit() {
this.message = this.child.message
}
}
child component
import { Component} from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-child',
template: `
`,
styleUrls: ['./child.component.css']
})
export class ChildComponent {
message = 'Hola Mundo!';
constructor() { }
}
You need to add ChildComponent under declarations on app.module.ts
