I have the following template : 

<p [ngClass]="{checked: condition, unchecked: !condition}">

While this is working, I find it a bit ugly as I have to repeat twice the condition. Is there a way to something like : [ngClass]={condition ? checked : unchecked} (which is not working)

Thanks

Indeed

<p class="{{condition ? 'checked' : 'unchecked'}}">

or

<p [ngClass]="condition ? 'checked' : 'unchecked'">

or

<p [ngClass]="[condition ? 'checked' : 'unchecked']">

And the new compiler, Ivy, brings more clarity and predictability to it. Read More about it here
