In Angular, how to do Content Projection over the list of children?

I have a component that should accept arbitrary amount of child components of known type and render them with additional wrapper in an *ngFor. Alternatively, can I pass and render a list of <ng-template>?

Container will be used like this:

<app-custom-container>
   <app-custom-child name="1">...</app-custom-child>
   <app-custom-child name="2">...</app-custom-child>
   <app-custom-child name="3">...</app-custom-child>
</app-custom-container>

Inside container template I'd like to do something like this:

template: '<div>
    <ng-container *ngFor="let child of ...?">
        <app-custom-child-internal-wrapper [id]="child.id">
             <ng-content/> <!--somehow only render this specific child-->
        </app-custom-child-internal-wrapper>
    </ng-content>
</div>'

Can this or something similar be done?

this is a use case for ContentChildren and ngTemplateOutlet... like so

first you need a directive to mark and get a template ref of any children you want rendered:

@Directive({ selector: '[childMarker]'})
export class ChildMarkerDirective {
  constructor(public templateRef: TemplateRef<any>) { }
}

then add it to the children:

<app-custom-container>
   <app-custom-child *childMarker name="1">...</app-custom-child>
   <app-custom-child *childMarker name="2">...</app-custom-child>
   <app-custom-child *childMarker name="3">...</app-custom-child>
</app-custom-container>

in your custom container controller, you need something like this to query the marker in the content:

@ContentChildren(ChildMarkerDirective)
children

then in your template, you can iterate and project:

<div>
    <ng-container *ngFor="let child of children">
        <app-custom-child-internal-wrapper>
             <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="child.templateRef"></ng-container>
        </app-custom-child-internal-wrapper>
    </ng-container>
</div>
