By host, I understand the scope of where my component is used. If it is defined as <my-component>, then if it’s used somewhere as:

<my-component name=“Test” class=“test-class” #test=“ngModel” [(ngModel)]=“data.test” required>

then I would like to:

• know if host component has a certain css class (i.e. test-class) applied to it.
• get all the validators that are applied to the ngModel there (i.e. RequiredValidator)
• know if form that ngModel belongs to has been submitted (without introducing own custom property)

For some reason, I couldn’t get to it reliably. I know of:

• HostBinding, but that is sadly one way only and can apply classes on host, but is not updated with regards to what classes already are there
• ElementRef injection, where I can get to nativeElement and props. That gives me classes (but very low level), but not validators / ngModel.

Is the access to ngModel “above” on the host element not allowed here?
