What is the alternative for “ng-include” in angular2?

Question

Is there any alternate way in angular to achieve what ng-include does in angularjs?

Answer 1

The closest to ng-include is ngTemplateOutlet directive. You need to pass a TemplateRef to it and optional context. Something like that:

@Component({
  selector: 'child',
  template: `
    

      here is child template that includes myTemplate
      
    
`
})
export class ChildComponent {
  @Input() myTemplate: TemplateRef;
}


@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `
    
Parent
    
    hi julia template!
  `
})
export class AppComponent {
  @ViewChild('myTemplate', {read: TemplateRef}) myTemplate: TemplateRef;
}

1. Parent component querys the template and passes it to the child component
2. Child component uses ngTemplateOutlet directive to create view and render it.
