Notify child component about changes in Angular2

Question

Suppose I have simple Angular2 component

@Component({ selector: \'parent\' })
@View({
    template: `
        

        

Answer 1

You can put your additional logic or calculations into onChange method, that is called after all of component's bound properties are updated.

@Component({
    selector: 'child',
    properties : ['model']
})
@View({
    template: `
        
Child {{ model }}
    `,
})
class Child {
    model: number;

    onChange(map){
      if(map.model) {
        console.log('doing crazy stuff here');
        console.log(map.model); //SimpleChange {previousValue: 43, currentValue: 44}
      }
    }
}
