ng2 - Difference between ng-container and ng-template tags

Question

Can someone please illustrate the difference between using and elements?

I could not find document

Answer 1

ng-template as the name implies, denotes a template. By itself it doesn't render anything. We can use a ng-container to provide a placeholder to render a template dynamically.

Another use-case for ng-template is that we can use it to nest multiple structural directives together. You can find great examples here in this blog post: angular ng-template/ng-container
