When working with components in Angular we might need to load a child component in a parent component. Here’s how to go about it:

In the parent component we need to import ViewChild from the Angular core package and then proceed to use it to load our child component:

Parent Component

parent.component.ts

import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import ChildComponent from '../../childComponent/child.component';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-parent-component',
  templateUrl: './parent.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./parent.component.scss'],
})

export class ParentComponent {
@ViewChild(ChildComponent) childComponent: ChildComponent

}

We then proceed to add the reference to the child component using the child component’s selector in the parent component’s view (parent.component.html):

<ng-template>
    <app-child></app-child>
</ng-template>
