I want to support the following micro syntax:
foo$ | async as xyz
Example:
<p *appVar="foo$ | async as xyz">
Value is {{ xyz }}!
</p>
That stream is defined as
$foo = of('some value')
Here is my directive:
@Directive({
selector: '[appVar]'
})
export class VarDirective<T> {
@Input() appVar: T;
constructor(
private templateRef: TemplateRef<T>,
private viewContainer: ViewContainerRef
) {}
ngOnInit(): void {
this.viewContainer.createEmbeddedView(this.templateRef);
}
}
Now, whatever I do, that xyz
variable is always undefined.
If I create a context (which is suggested in this post)
const context = { $implicit: this.appVar };
this.viewContainer.createEmbeddedView(this.templateRef, context);
I get the same result. Any suggestions what I do wrong here?
The expression has to be available in the context under the same name as the directive itself, which is appVar
in this case:
this.viewContainer.createEmbeddedView(this.templateRef, {
$implicit: this.appVar,
appVar: this.appVar
});
Compare it to the built-in ngIf
directive:
@Input()
set ngIf(condition: any) {
this._context.$implicit = this._context.ngIf = condition;
this._updateView();
}
and to the TuiLetContext
:
get $implicit(): T {
return this.internalDirectiveInstance.tuiLet;
}
get tuiLet(): T {
return this.internalDirectiveInstance.tuiLet;
}
