Angular 2

Angular - ForLoop

Syntax#

  1. < div *ngFor=“let item of items; let i = index”>{{i}} {{item}}</ div>

Remarks#

The *ngFor structural directive runs as a loop in a collection and repeats a piece of html for each element of a collection.

@View decorator is now deprecated. Developers should be using template or ‘templateUrl’ properties for @Component decorator.

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.angularjs.org/2.0.0-alpha.28/angular2.sfx.dev.js"></script>
    <script>
        var ngForLoop = function () {

            this.users = ["Anil Singh", "Sunil Singh", "Sushil Singh", "Aradhya", 'Reena'];
        };

        ngForLoop.annotations = [

NgFor - Markup For Loop

The NgFor directive instantiates a template once per item from an iterable. The context for each instantiated template inherits from the outer context with the given loop variable set to the current item from the iterable.

To customize the default tracking algorithm, NgFor supports trackBy option. trackBy takes a function which has two arguments: index and item. If trackBy is given, Angular tracks changes by the return value of the function.

<li *ngFor="let item of items; let i = index; trackBy: trackByFn">
    {{i}} - {{item.name}}
</li>

Additional Options: NgFor provides several exported values that can be aliased to local variables:

  • index will be set to the current loop iteration for each template context.
  • first will be set to a boolean value indicating whether the item is the first one in the iteration.
  • last will be set to a boolean value indicating whether the item is the last one in the iteration.
  • even will be set to a boolean value indicating whether this item has an even index.
  • odd will be set to a boolean value indicating whether this item has an odd index.

*ngFor in the Table Rows

<table>
    <thead>
        <th>Name</th>
        <th>Index</th>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr *ngFor="let hero of heroes">
            <td>{{hero.name}}</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

*ngFor with component

   @Component({
     selector: 'main-component',
     template: '<example-component    
                   *ngFor="let hero of heroes"
                   [hero]="hero"></example-component>'
   })


   @Component({
      selector: 'example-component',
      template: '<div>{{hero?.name}}</div>'
   })

   export class ExampleComponent {
     @Input() hero : Hero = null;
   }

*ngFor X amount of items per row

Example shows 5 items per row:

<div *ngFor="let item of items; let i = index">
  <div *ngIf="i % 5 == 0" class="row">
    {{ item }}
    <div *ngIf="i + 1 < items.length">{{ items[i + 1] }}</div>
    <div *ngIf="i + 2 < items.length">{{ items[i + 2] }}</div>
    <div *ngIf="i + 3 < items.length">{{ items[i + 3] }}</div>
    <div *ngIf="i + 4 < items.length">{{ items[i + 4] }}</div>
  </div>
</div>
