Trigger click on specific item under nested loop Angular ngFor

How to target on the specif item under the nested loop

<ul #parents *ngFor="let parent of parents">
     <li #child *ngFor="let child of parents.childGroup"> {{child.name}} </li>
<ul>

Ts File

Asper my code my target is parents[5].child[0] , but its working as child parents[0].child[0]

@ViewChildren('parents') parents : QueryList<ElementRef>
 @ViewChildren('child') child: QueryList<ElementRef>

this.parents.forEach((item, index) => {
if (index === 5 ) {
(this.child.find( (item , index) => index === 0 ).nativeElement as HTMLElement).click();
}


});

Each parent has own children, Here target calculated based on all child index

How to solve this problem?

You can do this without ViewChild() refs.

You can add an click event listener on the child component and pass it parameters.

<li *ngFor="let child of parent.children" (click)="handleClick(parent, child)">

And then handle the click accordingly.

handleClick(parent, child){
  console.log(parent);
  if(this.parents[1] === parent && (parent.children.indexOf(child)) === 1 ){
    alert(`You clicked ${child} of parent ${parent.id}`)
  }
}

Here is a demo

You can set dynamic id in html element like this:

<ul #parents *ngFor="let parent of parents">
     <li #child *ngFor="let child of parents.childGroup;let i=index" id="{{'child'+ i }}">
          {{child.name}} 
    </li>
<ul>

and then click from typescript.

this.parents.forEach((item, index) => {
  if (index === 5 ) {
    document.getElementById("child" + index  ).click();
  }
});
