The child component takes an input from the parent based on if the record is selected in the parent table. Once a record is updated in the child component, the parent updates as well. I thought input binding was one-way? I'm trying to update the contents of the child table only. I've tried taking the observable data and passing it to an array and then back to a new observable, but that didn't work.
Parent Component:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { MatTableDataSource } from '@angular/material';
import { SelectionModel } from '@angular/cdk/collections';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
displayedColumns = ['select', 'position', 'name', 'weight', 'symbol'];
dataSource = new MatTableDataSource<Element>(ELEMENT_DATA);
selection = new SelectionModel<Element>(true, []);
editReady: boolean = false;
recordsToEdit: Array<Element> = [];
/** Whether the number of selected elements matches the total number of rows. */
isAllSelected() {
const numSelected = this.selection.selected.length;
const numRows = this.dataSource.data.length;
return numSelected === numRows;
}
/** Selects all rows if they are not all selected; otherwise clear selection. */
masterToggle() {
this.isAllSelected() ?
this.selection.clear() :
this.dataSource.data.forEach(row => this.selection.select(row));
}
editRecords() {
this.dataSource.data.forEach(row => {
if (this.selection.isSelected(row) == true) {
this.recordsToEdit.push(row);
}
}
);
this.editReady = !this.editReady;
}
}
export interface Element {
name: string;
position: number;
weight: number;
symbol: string;
}
const ELEMENT_DATA: Element[] = [
{ position: 1, name: 'Hydrogen', weight: 1.0079, symbol: 'H' },
{ position: 2, name: 'Helium', weight: 4.0026, symbol: 'He' },
