Angular - Wait until I receive data before loading template

Question

So, I have a component that renders several components dynamically, with this template:

Answer 1

After studying the different approaches that people gave me, I found the solution on the async pipe. But, it took me a while to understand how to implement it.

Solution:

// Declaring the Promise, yes! Promise!
filtersLoaded: Promise<boolean>;

// Later in the Component, where I gather the data, I set the resolve() of the Promise
this.getFiltersSubscription = this.getFilters().subscribe(
    (filters) => {
        this.filters = filters;
        log.info('API CALL. getting filters');

        this.filtersLoaded = Promise.resolve(true); // Setting the Promise as resolved after I have the needed data
    }
);

// In this listener triggered by the dynamic components when instanced,
// I pass the data, knowing that is defined because of the template change

// Listens to field's init and creates the fieldset triggering a service call
// that will be listened by the field component
this.iboService.initIBOsFilters$.subscribe(
    (fieldName) => {
        if (fieldName === 'IBOsRankSelectorFieldComponent') {
            log.data('inside initIBOsFilters$ subscription, calling updateIBOsFilters()', fieldName);
            this.iboService.updateIBOsRankList(this.filters['iboRank'].data);
        }
    }
);

In the template, I use the async pipe that needs an Observable or a Promise

<div *ngIf="filtersLoaded | async">
    <div [saJquiAccordion]="{active: group.value['collapsed']}" *ngFor="let group of filterGroupsTemplate | keysCheckDisplay;">
        <div>
            <h4>{{group.key | i18n}}</h4>
            <form id="ibo-{{group.key}}" class="form-horizontal" autocomplete="off" style="overflow: initial">
                <fieldset *ngFor="let field of group.value | keys">
                    <ng-container *ngComponentOutlet="fieldSets[field.value.template];
                                    ngModuleFactory: smartadminFormsModule;"></ng-container>
                </fieldset>
            </form>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

NOTE:

• async pipe need an Observable or a Promise from what I understood, that's why the only way to make it work was by creating a Promise
• I didn't use the resolver approach because it's used when you arrive to the component through Angular's routing. This component is part of a larger component and it's not instanced through routing like any other normal component. (Tried that approach though, worked a bit with it, didn't do the job)

Answer 2

You could use a resolver to ensure those data are loaded (or your filters have been initialized) before the route is activated.

Answer 3

<p class="p-large">{{homeData?.meta[0].site_desc}}</p>

Just Used a "?" after the variable that has been getting loaded with data from the server.

home.component.ts

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { HomeService } from '../services/home.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-home',
  templateUrl: './home.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./home.component.scss']
})
export class HomeComponent implements OnInit {
  public homeData: any;
  constructor(private homeService: HomeService) {}

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.homeService.getHomeData().subscribe( data => {
      this.homeData = data[0];
    }, error => {
      console.log(error);
    });
  }
}
