I'm trying to inject my parent component into a child component (tight cupling, I know). The problem is I have an inheritance chain and for some reason I get an error, that there is no provider for the dependency. tl;dr; I'm injecting the base class in the child component, but I get the following error: Template parse errors: No provider for BaseClass export class BaseClass { ... } @Component({ selector: 'parent-comp' }) export class ParentComponent extends BaseClass {} @Component({ selector: 'child-comp' }) export class ChildComponent { constructor(public parent: BaseClass) {} } Usage: <parent-comp> <child-comp> The whys My ParentComponent inherits some functionalities from the BaseClass and I would like to access some of it in the child component.

I've tried adding the @Host() decorator but that doesn't work either. From my understanding of dependency injection (which is not the best) this should work. I'm trying to understand the why's here!
