What is the correct way to instantiate dynamically a template with @ViewChild querying a template re

Time:08-19

I know I can just pass the template reference variable mytemplate to *ngTemplateOutlet and it works.

For learning purposes I want to use different approach via @ViewChild decorator. However I got some errors that I don't understand.

Minimal Code:

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

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template:
    `
<ng-template #mytemplate>
<p>Hello World</p>
</ng-template>
<ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="template"></ng-container>
`
})
export class AppComponent {
  @ViewChild("mytemplate")
  template!: TemplateRef<any>;
}

CodePudding user response:

  1. This is the error which comes only in dev mode

  2. But still this should not be there in console.

  3. You can manually trigger change detection to avoid this issue

     constructor(private cd: ChangeDetectorRef) {}
    
     ngAfterViewChecked(){
         this.cd.detectChanges()
     }
