Get the text from an element by clicking in angular 2

Question

I'm new in Angular2, and I'm used to use Jquery, but I can't use Jquery in Angular 2. I want to get the text of an element that I'm clicking (like using the function $(this).text()in Jquery) in angular 2.

Answer 1

<div #myElement (click)="doSomething(myElement.innerText)">someText</div>

or

<div (click)="doSomething($event.target.innerText)">someText</div>

class MyComponent {
  doSomething(text) {
    console.log(text);
  }
}
