Angular 2 How to "watch" for tab changes

Question

I have:

<md-tab-group color="primary">
  <md-tab label="Проэкты">
    <h1>Some tab content</h1>
  </md-tab>
  <md-tab label="Обучалка">
    <h1>Some more tab content</h1>
    <p>...</p>
  </md-tab>
</md-tab-group>

I need to catch an event when a specific tab is clicked and call this function inside my component:

onLinkClick() {
  this.router.navigate(['contacts']); 
}

Answer 1

You could use the (selectedTabChange) event. Check Material2#tabs.

Template:

<mat-tab-group color="primary" (selectedTabChange)="onLinkClick($event)">
  ...
</mat-tab-group>

Component:

import { MatTabChangeEvent } from '@angular/material';

// ...

onLinkClick(event: MatTabChangeEvent) {
  console.log({ event });

  this.router.navigate(['contacts']); 
}
