Stop mouse event propagation

Solution 1:

If you want to be able to add this to any elements without having to copy/paste the same code over and over again, you can make a directive to do this. It is as simple as below:

import {Directive, HostListener} from "@angular/core";
    
@Directive({
    selector: "[click-stop-propagation]"
})
export class ClickStopPropagation
{
    @HostListener("click", ["$event"])
    public onClick(event: any): void
    {
        event.stopPropagation();
    }
}

Then just add it to the element you want it on:

<div click-stop-propagation>Stop Propagation</div>

Solution 2:

The simplest is to call stop propagation on an event handler. $event works the same in Angular 2, and contains the ongoing event (by it a mouse click, mouse event, etc.):

(click)="onEvent($event)"

on the event handler, we can there stop the propagation:

onEvent(event) {
   event.stopPropagation();
}
