how to pass data from angular material dialog to parent component?


I'm using angular 6 and I have a button which opens a dialog. in my dialog, I have a form that gets user's data and then I have two buttons to submit and cancel. I tried to show my form's data in the console but it returns undefined! whats the problem? here is part of codes:

main.component.ts:

import { Work } from '../../../../classes/work_shift';
import { DialogContentComponent} from './dialog-content/dialog-content.component';
export class WorkShiftsComponent implements OnInit {
 shifts: Work[];
  name: string;
  start: string;
  end: string;
  constructor(public dialog: MatDialog, private shiftService: WorkShiftsService) { }

  ngOnInit() {
  }

  openDialog() {
    const dialogRef = this.dialog.open(DialogContentComponent, {
      width: '640px',
      disableClose: true,
      data: {name: this.name, start: this.start, end: this.end}
    });
    dialogRef.afterClosed().subscribe(result => {
      console.log('The dialog was closed');
      console.log(result);//returns undefined
    });
  }
}

dialogContent.component.html:

    <mat-dialog-content>
  <form class="example-form">
    <div fxLayout="column" fxLayoutAlign="space-around" class="form">
      <div class="input">
        <mat-form-field class="input4">
          <input matInput placeholder="Shift name">
        </mat-form-field>
      </div>
      <div>
        <mat-form-field class="input input2">
          <input matInput placeholder="Start" atp-time-picker>
        </mat-form-field>
        <mat-form-field class="input input2">
          <input matInput placeholder="End" atp-time-picker >
        </mat-form-field>
      </div>
      <br/>
    </div>
  </form>
</mat-dialog-content>
<mat-dialog-actions>
  <button class="mat-button" mat-button (click)="onClose()">Cancel</button>
  <button class="mat-button" mat-button [mat-dialog-close]="data" cdkFocusInitial color="primary">Create</button>
</mat-dialog-actions>

  • 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',
      styleUrls: ['dialog-overview-example.css'],
    })
    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">
        </mat-form-field>
    
        <mat-form-field>
            <input matInput type="time" atp-time-picker [(ngModel)]="data.date1">
        </mat-form-field>
    
        <mat-form-field>
            <input matInput type="time" atp-time-picker [(ngModel)]="data.date2">
        </mat-form-field>
    </div>
    
    <div mat-dialog-actions>
        <button mat-button (click)="onNoClick()">No Thanks</button>
        <button mat-button [mat-dialog-close]="data" cdkFocusInitial>Ok</button>
    </div>
