# How event binding works
|
||||
|
||||
In an event binding, Angular configures an event handler for the target event.
|
||||
You can use event binding with your own custom events.
|
||||
|
||||
When the component or directive raises the event, the handler executes the template statement.
|
||||
The template statement performs an action in response to the event.
|
||||
|
||||
## Handling events
|
||||
|
||||
A common way to handle events is to pass the event object, `$event`, to the method handling the event.
|
||||
The `$event` object often contains information the method needs, such as a user's name or an image URL.
|
||||
|
||||
The target event determines the shape of the `$event` object.
|
||||
If the target event is a native DOM element event, then `$event` is a [DOM event object](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events), with properties such as `target` and `target.value`.
|
||||
|
||||
In the following example the code sets the `<input>` `value` property by binding to the `name` property.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<code-example path="event-binding/src/app/app.component.html" region="event-binding-3" header="src/app/app.component.html"></code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
With this example, the following actions occur:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The code binds to the `input` event of the `<input>` element, which allows the code to listen for changes.
|
||||
1. When the user makes changes, the component raises the `input` event.
|
||||
1. The binding executes the statement within a context that includes the DOM event object, `$event`.
|
||||
1. Angular retrieves the changed text by following the path `$event.target.value` and updates the `name` property.
|
||||
|
||||
If the event belongs to a directive or component, `$event` has the shape that the directive or component produces.

## Binding to events
|
||||
|
||||
To bind to an event you use the Angular event binding syntax.
|
||||
This syntax consists of a target event name within parentheses to the left of an equal sign, and a quoted template statement to the right.
|
||||
In the following example, the target event name is `click` and the template statement is `onSave()`.
|
||||
|
||||
<code-example language="html" header="Event binding syntax">
|
||||
<button (click)="onSave()">Save<button>
|
||||
</code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
The event binding listens for the button's click events and calls the component's `onSave()` method whenever a click occurs.

||||
|
||||
## Target event
|
||||
|
||||
As above, the target is the button's click event.
|
||||
|
||||
<code-example path="event-binding/src/app/app.component.html" region="event-binding-1" header="src/app/app.component.html"></code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, use the `on-` prefix, known as the canonical form:
|
||||
|
||||
<code-example path="event-binding/src/app/app.component.html" region="event-binding-2" header="src/app/app.component.html"></code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
Element events may be the more common targets, but Angular looks first to see if the name matches an event property
|
||||
of a known directive, as it does in the following example:
|
||||
|
||||
<code-example path="event-binding/src/app/app.component.html" region="custom-directive" header="src/app/app.component.html"></code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
If the name fails to match an element event or an output property of a known directive,
|
||||
Angular reports an “unknown directive” error.
|
||||
|
||||
## *$event* and event handling statements
|
||||
|
||||
In an event binding, Angular sets up an event handler for the target event.
|
||||
|
||||
When the event is raised, the handler executes the template statement.
|
||||
The template statement typically involves a receiver, which performs an action
|
||||
in response to the event, such as storing a value from the HTML control
|
||||
into a model.
|
||||
|
||||
The binding conveys information about the event. This information can include data values such as an event object, string, or number named `$event`.
|
||||
|
||||
The target event determines the shape of the `$event` object.
|
||||
If the target event is a native DOM element event, then `$event` is a
|
||||
[DOM event object](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events),
|
||||
with properties such as `target` and `target.value`.
|
||||
|
||||
Consider this example:
|
||||
|
||||
<code-example path="event-binding/src/app/app.component.html" region="event-binding-3" header="src/app/app.component.html"></code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
This code sets the `<input>` `value` property by binding to the `name` property.
|
||||
To listen for changes to the value, the code binds to the `input`
|
||||
event of the `<input>` element.
|
||||
When the user makes changes, the `input` event is raised, and the binding executes
|
||||
the statement within a context that includes the DOM event object, `$event`.
|
||||
|
||||
To update the `name` property, the changed text is retrieved by following the path `$event.target.value`.
|
||||
|
||||
If the event belongs to a directive—recall that components
|
||||
are directives—`$event` has whatever shape the directive produces.
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom events with `EventEmitter`
|
||||
|
||||
Directives typically raise custom events with an Angular [EventEmitter](api/core/EventEmitter).
|
||||
The directive creates an `EventEmitter` and exposes it as a property.
|
||||
The directive calls `EventEmitter.emit(payload)` to fire an event, passing in a message payload, which can be anything.
|
||||
Parent directives listen for the event by binding to this property and accessing the payload through the `$event` object.
|
||||
[Directives](guide/built-in-directives) typically raise custom events with an Angular [EventEmitter](api/core/EventEmitter) as follows.
|
||||
|
||||
1. The directive creates an `EventEmitter` and exposes it as a property.
|
||||
1. The directive then calls `EventEmitter.emit(data)` to emit an event, passing in message data, which can be anything.
|
||||
1. Parent directives listen for the event by binding to this property and accessing the data through the `$event` object.
|
||||
|
||||
Consider an `ItemDetailComponent` that presents item information and responds to user actions.
|
||||
Although the `ItemDetailComponent` has a delete button, it doesn't know how to delete the hero. It can only raise an event reporting the user's delete request.
|
||||
Although the `ItemDetailComponent` has a delete button, it doesn't contain the functionality to delete the hero.
|
||||
It can only raise an event reporting the user's delete request.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the pertinent excerpts from that `ItemDetailComponent`:
|
||||
|
||||
<code-example path="event-binding/src/app/item-detail/item-detail.component.html" header="src/app/item-detail/item-detail.component.html (template)" region="line-through"></code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
The component defines a `deleteRequest` property that returns an `EventEmitter`.
|
||||
When the user clicks **Delete**, the component invokes the `delete()` method, telling the `EventEmitter` to emit an `Item` object.
|
||||
|
||||
<code-example path="event-binding/src/app/item-detail/item-detail.component.ts" header="src/app/item-detail/item-detail.component.ts (deleteRequest)" region="deleteRequest"></code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
The component defines a `deleteRequest` property that returns an `EventEmitter`.
|
||||
When the user clicks *delete*, the component invokes the `delete()` method,
|
||||
telling the `EventEmitter` to emit an `Item` object.
|
||||
|
||||
Now imagine a hosting parent component that binds to the `deleteRequest` event
|
||||
of the `ItemDetailComponent`.
|
||||
The hosting parent component binds to the `deleteRequest` event of the `ItemDetailComponent` as follows.
|
||||
|
||||
<code-example path="event-binding/src/app/app.component.html" header="src/app/app.component.html (event-binding-to-component)" region="event-binding-to-component"></code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
When the `deleteRequest` event fires, Angular calls the parent component's
|
||||
`deleteItem()` method, passing the *item-to-delete* (emitted by `ItemDetail`)
|
||||
in the `$event` variable.
|
||||
When the `deleteRequest` event fires, Angular calls the parent component's `deleteItem()` method with the item.
|
||||
|
||||
## Template statements have side effects
|
||||
### Determining an event target
|
||||
|
||||
Though [template expressions](guide/interpolation#template-expressions) shouldn't have [side effects](guide/property-binding-best-practices#avoid-side-effects), template
|
||||
statements usually do. The `deleteItem()` method does have
|
||||
a side effect: it deletes an item.
|
||||
To determine an event target, Angular checks if the name of the target event matches an event property of a known directive.
|
||||
In the following example, Angular checks to see if `myClick` is an event on the custom `ClickDirective`.
|
||||
|
||||
Deleting an item updates the model, and depending on your code, triggers
|
||||
other changes including queries and saving to a remote server.
|
||||
These changes propagate through the system and ultimately display in this and other views.
|
||||
<code-example path="event-binding/src/app/app.component.html" region="custom-directive" header="src/app/app.component.html"></code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
If the target event name, `myClick` fails to match an element event or an output property of `ClickDirective`, Angular reports an "unknown directive" error.
