Question

AngularJS has the & parameters where you could pass a callback to a directive (e.g AngularJS way of callbacks. Is it possible to pass a callback as an @Input

Answer 1

An alternative to the answer SnareChops gave.

You can use .bind(this) in your template to have the same effect. It may not be as clean but it saves a couple of lines. I'm currently on angular 2.4.0

@Component({
  ...
  template: '',
  directives: [ChildComponent]
})
export class ParentComponent {

  public theCallback(){
    ...
  }
}

@Component({...})
export class ChildComponent{
  //This will be bound to the ParentComponent.theCallback
  @Input()
  public myCallback: Function; 
  ...
}
