DEMO COMMON POP-FORM

common-pop-service:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

import { MatDialogRef, MatDialog, MatDialogConfig } from '@angular/material';
import { PupupFormComponent } from './pupup-form/pupup-form.component'

@Injectable()
export class CommonModelService {
  animal: string;
  name: string;
  date1: any;
  date2: any
  constructor(public dialog: MatDialog) { }
  openDialog(): Observable<any> {
    const dialogRef = this.dialog.open(PupupFormComponent, {
      width: '250px',
      data: { name: this.name, animal: this.animal, date1: this.date1, date2: this.date2 }
    });

    return dialogRef.afterClosed();
  }
}

parent.component.ts:

import { Component, Inject } from '@angular/core';
import { MatDialog, MatDialogRef, MAT_DIALOG_DATA } from '@angular/material';

import { CommonModelService } from './common-model.service'

export interface DialogData {
  animal: string;
  name: string;
}

@Component({
  selector: 'dialog-overview-example',
  templateUrl: 'dialog-overview-example.html',

export class DialogOverviewExample {

  animal: string;
  name: string;

  constructor(private commModel: CommonModelService) { }

  openDialog() {
    this.commModel.openDialog().subscribe(data => {
      console.log(data);
    });
  }
}

parent.component.html:

<button mat-raised-button (click)="openDialog()">Open Form</button>

pup-up-form.html:

<div mat-dialog-content>
    <p>What's your favorite animal?</p>
    <mat-form-field>
        <input matInput [(ngModel)]="data.animal">

    <button mat-button [mat-dialog-close]="data" cdkFocusInitial>Ok</button>

Just pass data back from Dialog component to parent in close() method

//dialog-box.component.ts
import { Component, Inject, Optional } from '@angular/core';
import { MatDialogRef, MAT_DIALOG_DATA } from '@angular/material';

export interface UsersData {
  name: string;
  id: number;
}


@Component({
  selector: 'app-dialog-box',
  templateUrl: './dialog-box.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./dialog-box.component.css']
})
export class DialogBoxComponent {

  action:string;
  local_data:any;

  constructor(
    public dialogRef: MatDialogRef<DialogBoxComponent>,
    //@Optional() is used to prevent error if no data is passed
    @Optional() @Inject(MAT_DIALOG_DATA) public data: UsersData) {
    console.log(data);
    this.local_data = {...data};
    this.action = this.local_data.action;
  }

  doAction(){
    this.dialogRef.close({event:this.action,data:this.local_data});
  }

  closeDialog(){
    this.dialogRef.close({event:'Cancel'});
  }

}

Then get event & data objects/values in parent component back

//app.component.ts
import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';

import { MatDialog, MatTable } from '@angular/material';
import { DialogBoxComponent } from './dialog-box/dialog-box.component';

export interface UsersData {
  name: string;
  id: number;
}

const ELEMENT_DATA: UsersData[] = [
  {id: 1560608769632, name: 'Artificial Intelligence'},
  {id: 1560608796014, name: 'Machine Learning'},
  {id: 1560608787815, name: 'Robotic Process Automation'},
  {id: 1560608805101, name: 'Blockchain'}
];
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  displayedColumns: string[] = ['id', 'name', 'action'];
  dataSource = ELEMENT_DATA;

  @ViewChild(MatTable,{static:true}) table: MatTable<any>;

  constructor(public dialog: MatDialog) {}

  openDialog(action,obj) {
    obj.action = action;
    const dialogRef = this.dialog.open(DialogBoxComponent, {
      width: '250px',
      data:obj
    });

    dialogRef.afterClosed().subscribe(result => {
      if(result.event == 'Add'){
        this.addRowData(result.data);
      }else if(result.event == 'Update'){
        this.updateRowData(result.data);
      }else if(result.event == 'Delete'){
        this.deleteRowData(result.data);
      }
    });
  }

  addRowData(row_obj){
    var d = new Date();
    this.dataSource.push({
      id:d.getTime(),
      name:row_obj.name
    });
    this.table.renderRows();

  }
  updateRowData(row_obj){
    this.dataSource = this.dataSource.filter((value,key)=>{
      if(value.id == row_obj.id){
        value.name = row_obj.name;
      }
      return true;
    });
  }
  deleteRowData(row_obj){
    this.dataSource = this.dataSource.filter((value,key)=>{
      return value.id != row_obj.id;
    });
  }

Send and Receive data from Dialog

Dialog Component

// HTML
<div [innerHTML]="data"></div>
<button (click)="cancel()">No</button>
<button (click)="confirm()">Yes</button>

// Typescript
export class DialogComponent {

  // receive data from parent using 'MAT_DIALOG_DATA'
  constructor(@Inject(MAT_DIALOG_DATA) public data: string,
    private dialogRef: MatDialogRef<DialogComponent>) { }

  cancel() {
    // closing itself and sending data to parent component
    this.dialogRef.close({ data: 'you cancelled' })
  }

  confirm() {
    // closing itself and sending data to parent component
    this.dialogRef.close({ data: 'you confirmed' })
  }

}

Parent Component

constructor(private dialog: MatDialog) { }

// method to open dialog
openDialog() {
    let dialogRef = this.dialog.open(DialogComponent, {
      data: `Are you sure you want to delete?`
    })

    dialogRef.afterClosed().subscribe(res => {
      // received data from confirm-component
      console.log(res.data)
    })
}
