I have wheels.component
nested to car.component
.
wheels.component:
export class WheelsComponent {
@Output() onLoaded : EventEmitter<string>() = new EventEmitter<string>();
private downloadAllFiles(url: string) {
this.onLoaded.emit('Hello, World 1!');
//some operations to wait
this.onLoaded.emit('Hello, World 2!');
};
}
Component car.component
is not written at html page, but called through routing at car-routing.module.ts:
@NgModule({
imports: [
RouterModule.forChild([
{
path: 'sfactmessage/:id',
component: CarComponent,
resolve: {
card: cardResolver
}
}
])
],
exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class CarRoutingModule {}
What I want is to handle event emitted from wheels.component
, not at car.component
, but at app.component.
Is it possible to handle event at app.component
?
The plunker sample is not working (sorry, this is my first plunkr example), but gives a view how my app is arranged.
Hello_ friend.
So basically if you want to use events globally in your application you can use a Service in combination with EventEmitter
In this case you create a service for example car.service.ts
import { Injectable, EventEmitter } from '@angular/core';
@Injectable()
export class CarService {
onLoaded : EventEmitter<string> = new EventEmitter<string>();
}
Then use this service in a child component to emit events like this wheels.component.ts
import { Component, EventEmitter } from '@angular/core';
import { CarService } from './car.service';
@Component({
selector: 'wheels',
template: '<a (click)="sendValues()"> Click me to send value </a>'
})
export class WheelsComponent {
constructor(private carService:CarService ){}
sendValues() {
/* Use service to emit events that can be used everywhere in the application */
this.carService.onLoaded.emit('Button in WheelsComponent was clicked ...');
};
}
and then capture this event from AppComponent for example app.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';
import { CarService } from './cars/car.service';
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
templateUrl: `src/app.component.html`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy{
private subscription: Subscription;
private loading = true;
name = 'Angular';
constructor(private carService: CarService){}
ngOnInit(){
this.subscription = this.carService.onLoaded.subscribe((message) => {
/*
Here you receive events from anywhere where
carService.onLoaded.emit() is used
**/
alert(`From AppComponent -> ${message}`);
});
}
ngOnDestroy(){
/* Don't forget to unsubscribe when component is destroyed */
this.subscription.unsubscribe();
}
}

If you want your service to work globally you need to declare it in the top level providers for example app.module.ts is a good place:
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { CarComponent} from './cars/car.component';
import { WheelsComponent} from './cars/wheels.component';
import { HomeComponent} from './home.component';
import { routing } from './app.routing';
import { CarService } from './cars/car.service';
@NgModule({
imports: [ BrowserModule, FormsModule, routing ],
declarations: [ AppComponent, CarComponent, WheelsComponent, HomeComponent ],
providers: [ CarService ], // <-------- SEE HERE
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }
