Actually, I used viewchild.

Here is my html template code

Answer 1

I think you are tring to get the value from html before rendering completely. If you try to print the value in a button click, it will works.

depend on your code I have modified a little.Try the below, it is working for me.

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    console.log("afterinit");
    setTimeout(() => {
      console.log(this.abc.nativeElement.innerText);
    }, 1000);
  }

Note: If not working, please increase the timeout time and try again.
