Viewed 23716

I have child component (calendar) and parent component (form). I have to select value in calendar and I want to access value in form component.

How can I achieve this in best possible way?

Child Component.ts:

import {
  Component,
  OnInit,
  ViewChild,
  Input
} from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'calendar',
  template: '
    <md2-datepicker name="mindate"
                      placeholder="Minimum Date"
                      [(ngModel)]="minDate"
                      [mode]="mode"
                      [touchUi]="touch"
                      [format]="dateFormat"
                      #minDateControl="ngModel" [fromDate]="minDateControl"></md2-datepicker>
      <md2-datepicker name="maxdate"
                      placeholder="Maximum Date"
                      [(ngModel)]="maxDate"
                      [min]="minDate"
                      [mode]="mode"
                      [touchUi]="touch"
                      [format]="dateFormat"
                      #maxDateControl="ngModel"></md2-datepicker>
  ',
})

export class CalendarComponent implements OnInit {

  today: Date = new Date();


  minDate: Date;
  maxDate: Date;

  constructor(){

  }

  ngOnInit(){

  }
}

Parent component :

import {
  Component,
  OnInit,
  ViewChild,
  Input
} from '@angular/core';

import { Router } from '@angular/router';

import { ChartModule,ChartComponent } from 'angular2-chartjs';
import { ChartService } from './../shared/chart.service';

import { Colors, xAxisWidth } from './../shared/data';

@Component({
  selector: 'form-js',
  template: `
    <h3 class="chartHeading">Parameter Selection Form</h3>
    <calendar></calendar>
  `,
})

export class FormComponent implements OnInit {


  @Input fromDate: string;
  @Input toDate: string;

  constructor(){

  }

  ngOnInit(){

  }

  alert(fromDate);
}

How can I achieve from and to date values in form component in angular2?
