Structural directive - finding the element it is placed on

Question

With a structural directive, how would I get a hold of the (native) element the directive is on? With a normal directive, the ElementRef has it\'s nativeElement pointing to it -

Answer 1

Based on the Structural Directives Documentation (not sure if it works, but maybe helps you):

@Directive({
  selector: '[example]'
})
export class ExampleDirective {

  constructor(private viewContainer: ViewContainerRef) { }

  @Input() set example() {
    console.log(this.viewContainer.element.nativeElement.value);
  }
}
