Given the following array in component property groups
:
[
{
"name": "pencils",
"items": ["red pencil","blue pencil","yellow pencil"]
},
{
"name": "rubbers",
"items": ["big rubber","small rubber"]
},
]
How to create a html table with all items, each in one row? The expected HTML result:
<table>
<tr><td><h1>pencils</h1></td></tr>
<tr><td>red pencil</td></tr>
<tr><td>blue pencil</td></tr>
<tr><td>yellow pencil</td></tr>
<tr><td><h1>rubbers</h1></td></tr>
<tr><td>big rubber</td></tr>
<tr><td>small rubber</td></tr>
</table>
The first level is easy:
<table>
<tr *ngFor="#group of groups">
<td><h1>{{group.name}}</h1></td>
</tr>
</table>
But now I have to iterate #item of group
. The problem is that I need the new <tr>
elements after the </tr>
element which defines group
, not inside.
Is there any solution for this kind of problems in Angular2 templating? I would expect some special tag which I could use instead of <tr>
which is not written into the dom. Something similar to facets and fragments in JSF.
<table>
<ng-container *ngFor="let group of groups">
<tr><td><h2>{{group.name}}</h2></td></tr>
<tr *ngFor="let item of group.items"><td>{{item}}</td></tr>
</ng-container>
</table>
