Making an icon clickable inside an anchor tag

Question

I made a whole li element clickable by making use of anchor tag as such:

 <li *ngIf="notification.payload.table">
      <a class="d-flex justify-content-between" (click)="updateTableNotificationReadStatus(notification)">
        <div class="d-flex flex-column">
          <span style="font-size: 1.1rem">
            <strong>{{notification.payload.username}}</strong> requested access for table - {{notification.payload.table}}.
              <span style="font-size: 0.9rem">{{notification.payload.time}}</span>
          </span>
          <span *ngIf="notification.payload.note"class="note">
            <span class="noteLabel">Note</span>
            <span> This is a note attached to it</span>
          </span>
        </div>
        <span>
          <fa-icon [icon]="faClose" class="ml-auto" (click)="deleteNotification(notification)"></fa-icon>
        </span>
      </a>
    </li>

When I click on the fa-icon, the notification is getting deleted but I am also getting redirected to another page because of the function in which I doesn't want?

How can I make the close icon clickable without getting redirected while being on the same element?

Answer 1

It seems to me that you need something similar to this question AngularJS ng-click stopPropagation

To stop propagating the event

$event.stopPropagation();

Answer 2

I achieved that using:

 deleteNotification(e, notification) {
    e.stopPropagation();
  }
