I´m working on a nested select in angular material, the data of this two selects is in a json file:
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Arquitectura",
"depcen": [
{
"name": "Diseño"
},
{
"name": "Informatización"
},
{
"name": "Tecnología"
},
{
"name": "CEU"
},
{
"name": "Idiomas"
}
]
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Automática y Biomédica",
"depcen": [
{
"name": "Automática"
},
{
"name": "Física"
},
{
"name": "CEBIO"
}
]
]
I'm using an event to keep the value of the faculty or area, and next I have the other select that shows the department or center of the faculty or area selected before, well it should but I can get it done, this is what I did:
<mat-form-field class="select" appearance="fill">
<mat-label>Facultad o Área</mat-label>
<mat-select (selectionChange)="select($event.value)">
<mat-option>-Sin especificar-</mat-option>
<mat-option *ngFor="let facultadarea of facultadareas"
[value]="facultadarea.name">
{{facultadarea.name}}
</mat-option>
</mat-select>
</mat-form-field>
<mat-form-field class="select" appearance="fill">
<mat-label>Departamento o Centro</mat-label>
<mat-select (selectionChange)="select($event.value)">
<mat-option>-Sin especificar-</mat-option>
<mat-option *ngFor="let depcen of depcentros"
[value]="depcen.name">
{{depcen.name}}
</mat-option>
</mat-select>
</mat-form-field>
And here is my function in typescript:
facultadareas: IFacultadArea[] = []
depcentros: Idepcen[] = []
constructor(private facAreaService: FacultadAreaService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.facAreaService.getFacultadArea().subscribe(data=>this.facultadareas = data)
this.facAreaService.getDepartamentoCentro().subscribe(data=>this.depcentros = data)
}
select(value){
this.depcentros = value.depcentros
console.log(value.depcentros)
}
To get it done I fix some stuff in the typescript file. I realice that only needed the faculty service and pointing to the faculty I could get the array of departments.
facultadareas: IFacultadArea[] = []
depcentros: Idepcen[] = []
constructor(private facAreaService: FacultadAreaService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.facAreaService.getFacultadArea().subscribe(data=>this.facultadareas = data) //I only needed this service
select(value){
this.depcentros = value.depcen //depcen is the faculty field in the json that have its departments
console.log(value.depcen)
}
In the HTML I did what my friend Den suggested to me, I set [value]="facultadarea" and remove second (selection change) for departments
<mat-form-field class="select" appearance="fill">
<mat-label>Facultad o Área</mat-label>
<mat-select (selectionChange)="select($event.value)">
<mat-option>-Sin especificar-</mat-option>
<mat-option *ngFor="let facultadarea of facultadareas" [value]="facultadarea">
{{facultadarea.name}}
</mat-option>
</mat-select>
</mat-form-field>
<mat-form-field class="select" appearance="fill">
<mat-label>Departamento o Centro</mat-label>
<mat-select>
<mat-option>-Sin especificar-</mat-option>
<mat-option *ngFor="let depcen of depcentros" [value]="depcen.name">
{{depcen.name}}
</mat-option>
</mat-select>
</mat-form-field>
