Angular2 *ngIf check object array length in template

Question

Refered to https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/displaying-data.html and stack How to check empty object in angular 2 template using *ngIf still getting syntax error self

Answer 1

Maybe slight overkill but created library ngx-if-empty-or-has-items it checks if an object, set, map or array is not empty. Maybe it will help somebody. It has the same functionality as ngIf (then, else and 'as' syntax is supported).

arrayOrObjWithData = ['1'] || {id: 1}


  You will see it


 or 
 // store the result of async pipe in variable
 

  {{obj.id}}


 or

noData = [] || {}

   You will NOT see it
