Access only the very first element of an array at my angular template-CodePudding

I would like to know how I can access only the very first element of an array at my angular template?

Currently, this is my situation:

      <div *ngFor="let machine of machines">
        <span>Released <small>{{ machine.release_date }}</small></span>
      </div>

this will print the release date 3x times, or the number of element I have in the array, where I only want the first.

Thanks in advance

simply

     <div *ngFor="let machine of machines; let first = first">
        <span *ngIf="first">Released <small>{{ machine.release_date }}</small> 
        </span>
    </div>
