I'm trying to show a checkmark if an answer is the accepted answer:
template: `<div ngIf="answer.accepted">✔</div>`
But I get this error:
EXCEPTION: No provider for TemplateRef! (NgIf ->TemplateRef)
What am I doing wrong?
You missed the *
in front of NgIf (like we all have, dozens of times):
<div *ngIf="answer.accepted">✔</div>
Without the *
, Angular sees that the ngIf
directive is being applied to the div
element, but since there is no *
or <template>
tag, it is unable to locate a template, hence the error.
If you get this error with Angular v5:
Error: StaticInjectorError[TemplateRef]:
StaticInjectorError[TemplateRef]:
NullInjectorError: No provider for TemplateRef!
You may have <template>...</template>
in one or more of your component templates. Change/update the tag to <ng-template>...</ng-template>
.
