In order to respond to the Calculate IDF button inside the template, all we need to do in the component is catch the click event and call the related function from the service. So just add the onIDFs() function as follow:

// src/app/evidence/evidence.component.ts

export class EvidenceComponent implements OnInit{ 
  // ... 
  onIDFs() { 
    this.evidenceService.saveIDFs(); 
  } 
}
