Accessing a property in a parent Component

Question

I have a property in a top level Component that is used data from a HTTP source like so (this is in a file called app.ts):

import {UserData} fro         


        

Answer 1

On Angular 6, I access parent properties by injecting the parent via constructor. Not the best solution but it works:

 constructor(@Optional() public parentComponentInjectionObject: ParentComponent){
    // And access like this:
    parentComponentInjectionObject.thePropertyYouWantToAccess;
}
