I am using Angular and ngbNav to create tabs. The problem is that I have tab names from the API and to show them I need ngFor, but also for the content of the tab I should show different components. To implement that I have used ngSwitch.
<ul ngbNav #nav="ngbNav" class="nav-tabs">
<li ngbNavItem *ngFor="let element of elements" [ngSwitch]="element.name">
<a ngbNavLink>{{element.name}}</a>
<ng-template ngbNavContent *ngSwitchCase="'Super Item'">
<app-super-item
></app-super-item>
</ng-template>
<ng-template ngbNavContent *ngSwitchCase="'Another Item'">
<app-another-item
></app-another-item>
</ng-template>
<ng-template ngbNavContent *ngSwitchDefault><div>Default</div></ng-template>
</li>
</ul>
<div [ngbNavOutlet]="nav"></div>
I do not know how to activate the first tab in this case. Everything works but only after clicking on the tab. I would like to have the first tab active by default.
I would add the component as a key/value pair in the elements object. Then you could grab it in the for loop with {{element.component}}.
