Angular 15 - How to Handle Angular Material Dialog Closure Events with Nested Child Dialogs?
I'm deploying to production and I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help. I'm working with an scenario with handling the closure events of nested Angular Material dialogs in my Angular 15 application. I have a parent dialog that opens a child dialog, and I need to know when the child dialog is closed so that I can perform some actions in the parent dialog. Although I can successfully open both dialogs, I'm struggling to capture the `afterClosed()` event of the child dialog from the parent dialog's component. Here’s a snippet of how I'm currently handling the dialog opening and closure: ```typescript import { MatDialog } from '@angular/material/dialog'; import { ParentDialogComponent } from './parent-dialog.component'; import { ChildDialogComponent } from './child-dialog.component'; @Component({ selector: 'app-parent-dialog', templateUrl: './parent-dialog.component.html' }) export class ParentDialogComponent { constructor(private dialog: MatDialog) { } openChildDialog() { const childDialogRef = this.dialog.open(ChildDialogComponent); childDialogRef.afterClosed().subscribe(result => { if (result) { console.log('Child dialog closed with result:', result); // Perform some action based on child dialog result } }); } } ``` In the `ChildDialogComponent`, I’m closing the dialog with data like this: ```typescript closeDialog() { this.dialogRef.close({ success: true }); } ``` However, it seems that the `afterClosed()` method in the parent dialog is not being triggered when I close the child dialog. I’ve verified that the `closeDialog()` method in the child dialog is being called, but the console log in the parent dialog is not executing. I suspect it might be related to how the references are managed between the dialogs. I've also checked that I’m not trying to close the dialogs simultaneously or having any conflicting states. I've tried placing the `afterClosed()` subscription in various lifecycle hooks of the parent dialog but still face the same scenario. Could you guide to understand what might be going wrong or suggest a better way to manage the closure events between nested dialogs? Has anyone else encountered this? My development environment is Ubuntu. Thanks in advance! I'm working on a desktop app that needs to handle this. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
