How to access input fields of injected form component - ionic2

Question

I inject a component with an input form into a ionic2 form, both created with formBuilder.
From the address input component (search-map.ts):
#Component({
selector: 'search-map',
templateUrl: 'search-map.html'
})
#NgModule({
schemas: [ CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA ]
})
export class SearchMap {
public searchMapForm = this.formBuilder.group({
country: ["DE"],
postcode: ["", this.searchCont],
city: [""],
});
(...)
Inserted into the HTML of the base form (signup.html):
(...)
<ion-item>
<ion-label floating>Password</ion-label>
<ion-input type="password" formControlName="password"></ion-input>
</ion-item>
<search-map></search-map>
(...)
From the base form (signup.ts)
ionViewWillLoad() {
this.signup = this.formBuilder.group({
name: [this.name, Validators.required],
fullname: [this.fullname, Validators.compose([Validators.required, Validators.pattern('^[\\w-äöüßÄÖÜ]+(\\s[\\w-äöüßÄÖÜ]+)+$')])],
email: [this.email, Validators.compose([Validators.required, Validators.pattern('^(([^<>()\\[\\]\\\\.,;:\\s#"]+(\\.[^<>()\\[\\]\\\\.,;:\\s#"]+)*)|(".+"))#((\\[[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}\\.[0-9]{1,3}])|(([a-zA-Z\\-0-9]+\\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$')])],
password: ['', Validators.compose([Validators.required, Validators.minLength(8)])],
passwordRepeat: ['', this.passwordCompare],
address: [this.address, Validators.required],
});
}
Edit and change events are working fine on both.
How can I read the country and postcode input fields from signup.ts file (class signupPage)?

Answer 1

In your html where you set search-map,do this:
<search-map #searchMap></search-map>
In your SignupPage class,declare searchMap as
#ViewChild(SearchMap)
searchMap:SearchMap;
this way you can access the child component in the parent and all of the public properties of the child.(You may have to make searchMapForm a public property of searchmap class)
