Triggering change detection manually in Angular

Try one of these:

• ApplicationRef.tick() - similar to AngularJS's $rootScope.$digest() -- i.e., check the full component tree
• NgZone.run(callback) - similar to $rootScope.$apply(callback) -- i.e., evaluate the callback function inside the Angular zone. I think, but I'm not sure, that this ends up checking the full component tree after executing the callback function.
• ChangeDetectorRef.detectChanges() - similar to $scope.$digest() -- i.e., check only this component and its children

You can inject ApplicationRef, NgZone, or ChangeDetectorRef into your component.

I used accepted answer reference and would like to put an example, since Angular 2 documentation is very very hard to read, I hope this is easier:

1. Import NgZone:

   import { Component, NgZone } from '@angular/core';

2. Add it to your class constructor

   constructor(public zone: NgZone, ...args){}

3. Run code with zone.run:

   this.zone.run(() => this.donations = donations)

I was able to update it with markForCheck()

Import ChangeDetectorRef

import { ChangeDetectorRef } from '@angular/core';

Inject and instantiate it

constructor(private ref: ChangeDetectorRef) { }

Finally mark change detection to take place

this.ref.markForCheck();

Here's an example where markForCheck() works and detectChanges() don't.

EDIT: This example doesn't portray the problem anymore :( I believe it might be running a newer Angular version where it's fixed.
