Scenario

We have an <input> element in our template and when we press Enter we want to trigger the component method save($event) .

Approach

Bind the save($event) method to the keydown.enter event:

<input (keydown.enter)="save($event)">

Implement the save(event) :

export class SaveComponent { 
save() {
console.log("You entered: ", event.target.value);
}
}
