@ViewChild always returns undefined

Question

I know this has been asked before, but none of the selected answers are working for me.

I am trying to use @ViewChild to get my ng-select from t

Answer 1

I replaced all occurrences of

*ngIf="flag"

with

[style.display]="flag ? 'block' : 'none'"

to get this to work consistently in my case. Otherwise the ViewChild components that didn't exist when my view first loaded would potentially remain undefined for ever.
