Typescript 3 Angular 7 StopPropagation and PreventDefault not working

Question

I have a text input inside a div. Clicking on the input should set it to focus and stop the bubbling of the div click event. I\'ve tried the stopPropagation and

Answer 1

You can only stop propagation for the same event.

Your fireEvent function stops propagation for your mousedown event, but not for your click event.

If you want to stop propagation to click, try to add another click event on the input and stop propagation from there

For instance

Your other function only needs to know what is required, that is, set focus

fireEvent(e) {
    this.inputBox.nativeElement.focus();
    console.log('click inside input');
}

preventDefault() prevents the default behaviour, it is not related to bubbling or not the events, so you can safely ignore it
