Stop mouse event propagation

Calling stopPropagation on the event prevents propagation: 

(event)="doSomething($event); $event.stopPropagation()"

For preventDefault just return false

(event)="doSomething($event); false"

Event binding allows to execute multiple statements and expressions to be executed sequentially (separated by ; like in *.ts files.
The result of last expression will cause preventDefault to be called if falsy. So be cautious what the expression returns (even when there is only one)

If you want to be able to add this to any elements without having to copy/paste the same code over and over again, you can make a directive to do this. It is as simple as below:

import {Directive, HostListener} from "@angular/core";
    
@Directive({
    selector: "[click-stop-propagation]"
})
export class ClickStopPropagation
{
    @HostListener("click", ["$event"])
    public onClick(event: any): void
    {
        event.stopPropagation();
    }
}

Then just add it to the element you want it on:

<div click-stop-propagation>Stop Propagation</div>

Adding to the answer from @AndroidUniversity. In a single line you can write it like so:

<component (click)="$event.stopPropagation()"></component>

The simplest is to call stop propagation on an event handler. $event works the same in Angular 2, and contains the ongoing event (by it a mouse click, mouse event, etc.):

(click)="onEvent($event)"

on the event handler, we can there stop the propagation:

onEvent(event) {
   event.stopPropagation();
}
