Creating a reusable button component in Angular
you have to use the @Output
decorator to emit some event (from child to parent)
button.component.ts:
@Input() label: string;
@Output() onClick = new EventEmitter<any>();
onClickButton(event) {
this.onClick.emit(event);
}
button.component.html:
<div id = "button">
<button type="button" class= "btn" (click)="onClickbutton($event)" >{{label}}</button>
</div>
parent.component.ts
label = "button label"
functioncall(event) {
console.log('functioncall', event);
}
parent.component.html
<app-button (onClick)="functioncall($event)" [label]="label"></app-button>
See example: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-gghsax
In addition to @miladfm answer, I'd recommend using the <ng-content></ng-content>
directive here to pass content through instead of pulling in {{label}}
, assigning the @Output
decorator to click
instead of onClick
, and using the MouseEvent
type instead of any
. Using these changes will allow the button component to behave syntactically more like a native button when it's consumed:
button.component.ts
...
@Output() click = new EventEmitter<MouseEvent>();
onClickButton(event) {
this.onClick.emit(event);
}
...
button.component.html
<div id = "button">
<button type="button" class="btn" (click)="onClickbutton($event)">
<ng-content></ng-content>
</button>
</div>
parent.component.ts
...
functioncall(e: MouseEvent) {
// do stuff
}
...
parent.component.html
<app-button (click)="functioncall($event)">Your Label Here</app-button>
