How to Reload or Refresh Only Child Component in Angular 8

Say if you have a form in Child.Component.ts and if you want to reset it from parent component you can establish a connection between parent and child using Subject.

Parent.Component.html

<child-component [resetFormSubject]="resetFormSubject.asObservable()"></child-component>
<button (click)="resetChildForm()"></button>

Parent.Component.ts

import { Subject } from "rxjs";
resetFormSubject: Subject<boolean> = new Subject<boolean>();

resetChildForm(){
   this.resetFormSubject.next(true);
}

Child.Component.ts

import { Subject } from "rxjs";
@Input() resetFormSubject: Subject<boolean> = new Subject<boolean>();

ngOnInit(){
 this.resetFormSubject.subscribe(response => {
    if(response){
     yourForm.reset();
    // Or do whatever operations you need.
  }
 }
}

By using Subject you can establish a connection from parent to the child whenever the button gets clicked.

Hope this answer helps! Cheers :)

You could add an Input to update the component, or add a update function in the child that you can call in the code. Using @ViewChild to call the child update function from the parent. Like this

( ):

Child:

import { Component } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
   selector: "app-child",
   templateUrl: "./child.component.html",
   styleUrls: ["./child.component.css"] 
})
export class ChildComponent {
   ticks = Date.now().valueOf();

   constructor() {}

   update(): void {
   this.ticks = Date.now().valueOf();
   }
}

Parent:

import { Component, OnInit, ViewChild } from "@angular/core";
import { ChildComponent } from "./../child/child.component";

@Component({
 selector: "app-parrent",
 templateUrl: "./parrent.component.html",
 styleUrls: ["./parrent.component.css"]
})
export class ParrentComponent implements OnInit {
  @ViewChild(ChildComponent, { static: false }) childC: ChildComponent;
  showChild: boolean = true;
  constructor() {}

  ngOnInit() {}

  onUpdateChild() {
    this.childC.update();
 }
}

We can also use *ngIf and setTimeout to reset the child component from parent without making any change in child component.

.template:

.ts:

show:boolean = true

resetChildForm(){
   this.show = false;

   setTimeout(() => {
      this.show = true
    }, 100);
}

This is particularly helpful when we have no control over child component, like a 3rd party library component.

I used this approach and find it the easiest one. According to your code;

<!-- ParentComponent.html -->
<div>
  <div class="row col-md-12">
    <!--- Observe; I added something here --->
    <child-component [someValueToGetChanges]="ValueInput"></child-component>
 </div>
</div>

And then use ngOnChanges lifehook of angular in our childComponent. ngOnChanges method is called when any data-bound property of a directive changes. So in your childComponent, we'll do this;

export class ChildComponent implements OnChanges {
  @Input() 
  someValueToGetChanges: string;
  
  // this code is called when "someValueToGetChanges" value is changed by "ParentComponent"
  ngOnChanges() {
      // Code here what you want
      console.log(this.someValueToGetChanges);
  }   
  
  constructor() {}
}

Hope, it'll work for you as well!
