How to reload or refresh only child component in Angular 8

Question

I have two components, One parent and Other Child.

HTML Part

<div>
  <div class="row col-md-12">
    <div class="col-md-4">
       <!-- Some HTML Code of Parent component over here -->
    </div>
    <div class="col-md-8">
      <child-component></child-component>
    </div>
 </div>
 <button class="button" (click)="reloadOnlyChild($event)">Reload Child</button>
</div>

Now, On click of this button, I want the only child to get reload, or refresh.

TS Part

reloadOnlyChild(event){
  // I want to reload the child from here.
}

I searched on the Internet, I am getting for Vue or React, But not for Angular.

Say if you have a form in Child.Component.ts and if you want to reset it from parent component you can establish a connection between parent and child using Subject.

Parent.Component.html

<child-component [resetFormSubject]="resetFormSubject.asObservable()"></child-component>
<button (click)="resetChildForm()"></button>

Parent.Component.ts

import { Subject } from "rxjs";
resetFormSubject: Subject<boolean> = new Subject<boolean>();

resetChildForm(){
   this.resetFormSubject.next(true);
}

Child.Component.ts

import { Subject } from "rxjs";
@Input() resetFormSubject: Subject<boolean> = new Subject<boolean>();

ngOnInit(){
 this.resetFormSubject.subscribe(response => {
    if(response){
     yourForm.reset();
    // Or do whatever operations you need.
  }
 }
}

By using Subject you can establish a connection from parent to the child whenever the button gets clicked.

Hope this answer helps! Cheers :)
