So I've been playing around with Angular 2 for a while now. Using the [(ngModel)]
directive in an <input>
is pretty simply. Yet I can't figure out how to pass or at least get the previous value so I can compare both - the new and old one.
I'm getting the change detection through (ngModelChange)
since (change)
fired up after bluring out of the input field (seems to be a bug btw). So my code currently looks like this ($event
could be seen as a placeholder, since I've no idea what to pass in).
<input [(ngModel)]="myModel" (ngModelChange)="changeEvent($event)">
I've also tried passing in a custom local template variable like so, which obviously didn't work as well:
<input [(ngModel)]="myModel" #myModel="ngModel" (ngModelChange)="changeEvent($event)">
I know, there's at least a possibility to achieve this by using DoCheck. But since I just need that for a single time (currently) I really don't want to use that method. On top of that I'm using the above construct inside of an *ngFor
.
