I\'ve been digging around, and found out that I can use the following to use *ngFor over an object:
...
Just return the keys from the pipe instead of the values and then use the keys to access the values:
(let
instead of #
in the beta.17)
@Pipe({ name: 'ObjNgFor', pure: false })
export class ObjNgFor implements PipeTransform {
transform(value: any, args: any[] = null): any {
return Object.keys(value)//.map(key => value[key]);
}
}
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
pipes: [ObjNgFor],
template: `
<h1>Hello</h1>
<div *ngFor="let key of objs | ObjNgFor">{{key}}:{{objs[key].description}}</div> `,
})
export class AppComponent {
objs = {
"propertyA":{
"description":"this is the propertyA",
"default":"sth"
},
"propertyB":{
"description":"this is the propertyB",
"default":"sth"
}
};
}

Or instead of creating a pipe and passing an object to *ngFor, just pass Object.keys(MyObject)
to *ngFor. It returns the same as the pipe, but without the hassle.
On TypeScript file:
let list = Object.keys(MyObject); // good old javascript on the rescue
On template (html):
*ngFor="let item of list"
keys.pipe.ts
import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';
@Pipe({ name: 'keys' })
export class KeysPipe implements PipeTransform {
transform(obj: Object, args: any[] = null): any {
let array = [];
Object.keys(obj).forEach(key => {
array.push({
value: obj[key],
key: key
});
});
return array;
}
}
app.module.ts
import { KeysPipe } from './keys.pipe';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
...
KeysPipe
]
})
example.component.html
<elem *ngFor="let item of obj | keys" id="{{ item.key }}">
{{ item.value }}
</elem>
no use pipes this it example
*ngFor="let Value bof Values; let i = index"
{{i}}
In 6.1.0-beta.1 KeyValuePipe
was introduced https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/24319
<div *ngFor="let item of {'b': 1, 'a': 1} | keyvalue">
{{ item.key }} - {{ item.value }}
</div>

You could try something like this
export class ObjNgFor implements PipeTransform {
transform(value: any, args: any[] = null): any {
return Object.keys(value).map(key => Object.assign({ key }, value[key]));
}
}
And then on your template
<div *ngFor="let obj of objs | ObjNgFor">
{{obj.key}} - {{obj.description}}
</div>
