angular 2 template use console.log

Question

I would like to use the console.log inside the inline template but can\'t find any directions.

@Component({
  selector:\"main\",
  providers: [ItemService],
  te         


        

Answer 1

You can't access globals, statics, ...

You can only access properties of the component the view belongs to.

You can add a

log(val) { console.log(val); }

to your component and use it like

{{log(item)}} 

but be prepared this to be logged quite often (every time change detection runs).

For debugging I prefer

 {{item | json}}
