angular 2 access ng-content within component

Question

How can I access the \"content\" of a component from within the component class itself?

I would like to do something like this:

<         


        

Answer 1

https://angular.io/api/core/ContentChildren

class SomeDir implements AfterContentInit {

  @ContentChildren(ChildDirective) contentChildren : QueryList;

  ngAfterContentInit() {
    // contentChildren is set
  }
}

Note that if you do console.log(contentChildren), it will only work on ngAfterContentInit or a later event.
