You can do this by using @ViewChild
for more info check this link
With type selector
child component
@Component({
selector: 'child-cmp',
template: '<p>child</p>'
})
class ChildCmp {
doSomething() {}
}
parent component
@Component({
selector: 'some-cmp',
template: '<child-cmp></child-cmp>',
directives: [ChildCmp]
})
class SomeCmp {
@ViewChild(ChildCmp) child:ChildCmp;
ngAfterViewInit() {
// child is set
this.child.doSomething();
}
}
With string selector
child component
@Component({
selector: 'child-cmp',
template: '<p>child</p>'
})
class ChildCmp {
doSomething() {}
}
parent component
@Component({
selector: 'some-cmp',
template: '<child-cmp #child></child-cmp>',
directives: [ChildCmp]
})
class SomeCmp {
@ViewChild('child') child:ChildCmp;
ngAfterViewInit() {
// child is set
this.child.doSomething();
}
}
This Worked for me ! For Angular 2 , Call child component method in parent component
Parent.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { ChildComponent } from '../child/child';
@Component({
selector: 'parent-app',
template: `<child-cmp></child-cmp>`
})
export class parentComponent implements OnInit{
@ViewChild(ChildComponent ) child: ChildComponent ;
ngOnInit() {
this.child.ChildTestCmp(); }
}
Child.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'child-cmp',
template: `<h2> Show Child Component</h2><br/><p> {{test }}</p> `
})
export class ChildComponent {
test: string;
ChildTestCmp()
{
this.test = "I am child component!";
}
}
I think most easy way is using Subject. In below example code, the child will be notified each time 'tellChild()' is called.
Parent.component.ts
import {Subject} from 'rxjs/Subject';
...
export class ParentComp {
changingValue: Subject<boolean> = new Subject();
tellChild() {
this.changingValue.next(true);
}
}
Parent.component.html
<my-comp [changing]="changingValue"></my-comp>
Child.component.ts
...
export class ChildComp implements OnInit{
@Input() changing: Subject<boolean>;
ngOnInit(){
this.changing.subscribe(v => {
console.log('value is changing', v);
});
}
}

Angular – Call Child Component’s Method in Parent Component’s Template
You have ParentComponent and ChildComponent that looks like this.
parent.component.html
parent.component.ts
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-parent',
templateUrl: './parent.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./parent.component.css']
})
export class ParentComponent {
constructor() {
}
}
child.component.html
<p>
This is child
</p>
child.component.ts
import {Component} from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-child',
templateUrl: './child.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./child.component.css']
})
export class ChildComponent {
constructor() {
}
doSomething() {
console.log('do something');
}
}
When serve, it looks like this:
When user focus on ParentComponent’s input element, you want to call ChildComponent’s doSomething() method.
Simply do this:
The result:
user6779899's answer is neat and more generic However, based on the request by Imad El Hitti, a light weight solution is proposed here. This can be used when a child component is tightly connected to one parent only.
Parent.component.ts
export class Notifier {
valueChanged: (data: number) => void = (d: number) => { };
}
export class Parent {
notifyObj = new Notifier();
tellChild(newValue: number) {
this.notifyObj.valueChanged(newValue); // inform child
}
}
Parent.component.html
<my-child-comp [notify]="notifyObj"></my-child-comp>
Child.component.ts
export class ChildComp implements OnInit{
@Input() notify = new Notifier(); // create object to satisfy typescript
ngOnInit(){
this.notify.valueChanged = (d: number) => {
console.log(`Parent has notified changes to ${d}`);
// do something with the new value
};
}
}
Consider the following example,
import import { AfterViewInit, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { CountdownTimerComponent } from './countdown-timer.component';
@Component({
selector: 'app-countdown-parent-vc',
templateUrl: 'app-countdown-parent-vc.html',
styleUrl: [app-countdown-parent-vc.css]
})
export class CreateCategoryComponent implements OnInit, AfterViewInit {
@ViewChild(CountdownTimerComponent, {static: false}) private timerComponent: CountdownTimerComponent;
ngAfterViewInit() {
this.timerComponent.startTimer();
}
submitNewCategory(){
this.ngAfterViewInit();
}
}
