Angular2 - is it possible to get component class name using selector name

5.7k Views Asked by At

Is it possible to get component class name or component reference using selector name in Angular 2?

@Component({
  selector: 'selector-1',
  template: '<h1>Hello</h1>',
})
export class Component1 {}

@Component({
      selector: 'selector-2',
      template: '<h1>Hello</h1>',
    })
    export class Component2 {}

In component 2 is it possible to get the component1 class name using selector "selector-1"?

Example:

getComponentName(selectorName) {
 // return component name
}

getComponentName('selector-1');

Thanks in advance

It is possible without additional work only if you do not call enableProdMode:

var node = document.querySelector('selector-1');
var debugNode = window.ng.probe(node);
var name = debugNode.componentInstance.constructor.name;

Otherwise you will have to maintain component map yourself.
