Answer 1

In my case, I need change image style dynamic switch between px and % unit.

So I use [ngStyle] instead of [style.height.px]

I share for whom concern.

HTML

<img [src]="imageUrl | safe: 'url'" [ngStyle]="{width: imagewidth, height: imageheight}">

TS

    if (this.properties.imageStyle == 'Stretch') {
      this.imagewidth = this.cols * this.unitWidth + 'px';
      this.imageheight = this.rows * this.unitHeight + 'px';
    }

    if (this.properties.imageStyle == 'Clip') {
      this.imagewidth = 100 + '%';
      this.imageheight = 100 + '%';
    }

If you are using percent (%) try this :

<div class="sidebar-nav"   [style.height.%]="height">

Answer 3

You can style the host element like

@Component({
  selector: '[sidebar]',
  templateUrl: 'app/Nav/sidebar.comp.html',
  host: {
    '[style.height.px]':'0.9 * height',
    '[style.width.px]':'0.21 * width'
  }

})

export class SidebarComp {
    width: number;
    height: number;

    constructor() {
        this.height = window.innerHeight;
        this.width = window.innerWidth;
    }
}

and the content (app/Nav/sidebar.comp.html) like

<div class="sidebar-nav" [style.overflow]="'scroll'" [style.height.px]="height">

or

<div class="sidebar-nav" [ngStyle]="{overflow: 'scroll', height: height + 'px'}">
