I have a component that is rendering array of objects as mat-list-item. Each item has a mat-checkbox, text and it is also binded to routerLink. When checkbox is checked the item is being navigated and I want to prevent that, meaning when checkbox is interacted with no navigation will happen.
You can add click event on the checkbox and block the click event triggering up by $event.stopPropagation()
like this
<mat-nav-list>
<mat-list-item *ngFor="let item of entries" routerLink="/person/{{item.PersonId}}">
<div>
<mat-checkbox (click)="$event.stopPropagation()" (change)="onChange()"></mat-checkbox>
{{item.Name}}
</div>
</mat-list-item>
</mat-nav-list>
<app-autocomplete-test></app-autocomplete-test>
