So I'm sending a movie object from a parent to a child component. I use @Input from the core module to do this.
Now, I am able to use this data inside the template to display my view, but when I try to access it in for example editReview() then this.movie returns undefined.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Child Component: the console.log returns undefined
export class ReviewListComponent implements OnInit {
@Input('movie') movie;
constructor(private reviewService: ReviewService){}
editReview() {
console.log(this.movie);
}
}
Child Component Template: I am able to display my name and the content of the review. What's not working unfortunately is when I click the button it says that this.movie is undefined
<ul class="list-group">
<li *ngFor="let review of movie?.reviews" class="list-group-item">
<p>{{review.user.firstName}} {{ review.user.lastName}}</p>
<hr>
<p>{{review.content}}</p>
</li>
</ul>
<button (click)="editReview()">Button</button>
Edit: I added the components and templates of the two parent components: The first one is the movie component where I retrieve the movie object asynchronously, the second is the review component which contains the review-list component that I had already posted above

export class MovieComponent implements OnInit{

movie;
movieId;
constructor(private movieService: MovieService, private route: ActivatedRoute){
}
checkRating(){
return typeof this.rating === 'number';
}
ngOnInit(){
this.route.params.subscribe(params => {
this.movieId = params.id;
var userId = localStorage.getItem('userId');
this.movieService.getMovie(this.movieId)
.subscribe(movie => {
this.movie = movie.obj;
this.movie.averageRating = Number(this.movie.averageRating);
console.log(this.movie);
});
if (userId){
this.movieService.getRating(userId, this.movieId)
.subscribe( result => {
this.rating = result.rating;
})
}
});
}
addRating(score) {
var userId = localStorage.getItem('userId');
this.movieService.addRating(score, userId, this.movie._id)
.subscribe(data => {
this.rating = data.obj.rating;
});
}
}
