Nobody in youtube teaches angular like this depth as you! Thank you very much and keep teaching us such valuable concepts.

[@advaithsurya4039]

I absolutely love angular and [ngTemplateOutlet] is one of my favourite topics because they allow my template to be extremely reusable. It is indeed very powerful in terms of functionality.

[@DecodedFrontend]

completely agree!

I just want to say, i’m crazy about your courses and tutorials. You really have a gift for teaching, you dive deep into subject and talk about complex things which others often avoid do to the complexity. This channel (and also your paid courses) are such a refresher for Angular community.. Keep up the great work!

[@lonwabomsingelwa8833]

Never really used this concept into depth but this video clearly put it out. 🥳

[@MikelAingeru]

My most sincere congratulations. You have achieved something very difficult, explaining a complex Angular concept with a simple example and even showing useful tricks like $implicit, context and injector. Thank you very much! On the other hand, for me it is very strange to place the tags after the content in which they are going to be rendered. But I guess it's the only option to do it both inside and outside a component and without projection of .

[@VitaliiZubko]

Great explanation... Thanks. I will share this video with ours juniors, for better understanding...

[@DecodedFrontend]

Thank you, Gagik! Happy New Year!

[@ievgensvichkar2643]

One more useful video, thanks a lot. Small remark: content projection can also be used in combination with ng-template approach when we use content projection to provide the template to be instantiated inside the recipient component (instead of using @Input for this).

[@femelene2455]

That is exactly what I was thinking about at the end of the video. I think that Dmytro wanted to show us new Angular feature instead - ngTemplateOutlerInjector which is also very cool by the way :)

[@DecodedFrontend]

Hey guys :) Yes, you are right (you both :) ). Actually, many things could be accomplished in many different ways, and "the best" solution is usually very dependent on the particular details and your goals. The solution in the video was chosen just for the demonstration of the ngTemplateOutlerInjector feature staying in the same and familiar context of the WeatherComponent component.

[@akhilanilkumar9090]

So good video..... Thank you so so much

[@FranklyTerrible]

Not going to lie, you're a damn legend. But I'm only left a bit with my head scratching around 29:43 - does injecting the Injector provide the reference of the WeatherWidgetComponent? That feels almost a bit "magical" to me! How was the problem with the lack of the component reference solved before? Did people simply pass the function into the ngTemplateOutletContext? I can't remember if you did any blog content for these injectors, but if you didn't I would really, really love those. Thank you for making things easier for us! Without you, I would have been lost in Angular long ago. Nobody touches upon more advanced topics like you do.

[@SamiullahKhan]

Again, High Quality Content, I came across this templateOutlet many times but couldn't get it left alone it's benefits, Even the official docs didn't do the justice (maybe it's me that it didn't reflect with me). This time I think, you can't cherish the benefits or fruits of declarative approach if haven't gone through the imperative approach like you did with the examples. I know the effort and time it takes to come up with such example's kudos to that. Although I have more experience with Angular than Vue, but in Vue (I think) they are called scoped slot and I have used it well but coming to Angular I didn't get the templateContext it until this Good, Lengthy video. After knowing this concept now, I think Projected Content don't have luxury of Context. What else?

[@gagiksimonyan3782]

Thanks for another useful video, Dmytro

[@DecodedFrontend]

My pleasure:)

[@MrVinodkumar92]

Can you pls explain content projection 1. With slots 2. With styling - do we need to add the styles in the projected component or in the component where the content is passed ? When viewencapsularion is emulated the ngcontent and nghost classes in Dom seems different Pls explain them as well. Thanks

[@DecodedFrontend]

Thank you for suggestion :) I will definitely cover those things

[@pollo_cesar_]

Great content and example, as always. One disadvantage of the ng-template context is that is not typified in when used (let-state) this could be a big problem on refactoring. I hope angular does something about this.

[@DecodedFrontend]

Yeah...I also hope that it will be supported out of the box.

[@MoMoadeli]

Awesome as usual. Quick correction: @ 9: 50 you mean IMPERATIVE paradigm. You then correctly reference implementing via a DECLARATIVE paradigm.

Please do content projection as well mate! After we trip[led our dev team size, we are juti n the process of standardising our components (so not every squad reinvents the dialog, the context-hint bar, etc). We have a bunch of good and keen Angular devs, but also many "fullstack :D" ppl not very comfortable with the framework. explaining to them how to create reusable components is so difficult, but this one is a great overview of embedded templates! Would be awesome to ahve content projection as well.

[@claudiuciprianbetiuc3985]

Dmytro, seeing that not only in the comments of this video, but in others also, people that I guess (hope) to be subscribers of your channel mention topics they are interested in for the future videos of yours, I was wondering: would it make sense to you or could it be a win / win strategy if you would start something like a free options poll / list / for topics we would be interested in for your following KZbin videos / paid courses ? Just some food for thought. I know I would be interested in a few specific topics and possibly others also.

[@akashchandran1]

Could you create a video on angular universal?

[@PNWAA]

Informative video. I do have a question, why didn't we use ng-content for dynamic content in a widget container. Additionally, I think the widget component should be dummy (no data)

[@glebzaitsev6741]

With Custom weather widget, it's neat but isn't it better to extract methods to reload and copy content to the injectable class? Then either provide it in root or, optionally, this injectable can be provided in parent class providers and injected into custom weather component via ngTemplateInjector. I mean, it's basically the same, just never seen using imported methods from components. Technically it's clearly possible, just feels wrong. Great video though, really helpful and clear, love it.

[@AntonioSantana-ll8il]

Hi!! greetings from Colombia!! you videos are excellent and help me a lot to improve my code a 100% Would be nice if you start teaching IONIC with angular!!! Thanks for exists bro!

[@MP3D2Y]

Using the structural directive syntax *ngTemplateOutlet="templateName; context: { $implicit: variable, color: 'blue' }" we can specify all the information together. I suppose in Angular 14 they extend this to support the injector value

[@jonatabiondiJsLover]

Great!! Just question. How di you access ngtemplate direttive file from vs code? If i ctrl +click the ngtemplateoutelet i see only the d.ts file and not the typescript.

[@Gyannea]

Is it possible to create a single component whose template.html file is filled with a library of snippet which I can then use EVERYWHERE in all my other components? Much like a service gives us methods we can call from any component ts file. I am unable to get your examples to work, perhaps because I have template in files and NOT in the ts file. My html files have about a 1000 lines so it makes no sense to inline them.

[@geekybruce4819]

why not just give provide state & action at root or app.component level & inject both at other places where we want to use state & action since that will be one single instance available at all place? also is inject one component in other component good pratice ? cuz generally it is service that we inject

[@volodymyrholodivskyi502]

You could set a type of TemplateRef using ngTemplateContextGuard

[@DecodedFrontend]

Yep, this is exactly the solution to fix typings issue but it also requires additional “dummy” directive for the type inversion. Just a ContextGuard in WeatherWidget won’t work unfortunately.

[@Simon_IHG]

Hi, Thanks for your video ! Is this approach better than using @ContentChild ? The use of @ContentChild seems more "appropriate" as the custom template is defined inside my component selector rather than outside. Or does it depend on the use case ? If there are multiple components that need to override the template, the @Input will be more convenient as the template will be defined only once. Whereas it will be defined inside each component with the use of @ContentChild ?

[@utpaulsarkar9694]

[@MahmoudTarek-pz1rl]

Im trying to build custom table using angular material table, providing custom table row using ngTemplateOutlet is not working or im missing something, any advice thanks

[@godes43]

One thing I don't understand (and the main reason I watched your video) is why didn't we pass the actions in the context for the template the same way we did for the state? I have a component which content can be changed by the user's template but I have a couple of actions I would like to execute in the component from the personalized templates. I tried passing the methods in the context, but when the execution reaches a reference to "this", "this" is undefined and I don't know why

[@kailashpatisinghdeora3677]

Hi Dymtro, you content is really great and I am from India and I liked it so much, can I know how you check library source code in vs code itself in same project?

[@DecodedFrontend]

Hi :) It is actually not the "source code in the same project". I just had another VS code window with angular source code opened and on post-production I just cut the transition, so it looks like I jumped immediately to source code which is not really true.

[@kailashpatisinghdeora3677]

@@DecodedFrontend oh okay thank you.

[@MP3D2Y]

In the last example I feel like you allow a kind of circular dependency but the angular compiler does not report anything about it. Maybe I am wrong

[@jorgecanas3668]

I'm using your example and it works fine until I want to trigger an Output event on the parent component it doesn't work, but if I put a console.log inside the function I'm triggering the console log prints the data so it's communicating but for some reason it doesn't trigger the event, would you have any ideas as to why this is happening?

[@souhaibkhadraoui9898]

Can the template outlet use components that have their own template outlets, who in turn have their own template outlets (recursive template outlets-ish) ?

[@DecodedFrontend]

Sure, they can have :)

[@Emekaelo]

How can the solution that the ngTemplateOutletInjector brings be done in Angular versions lower than 14?

[@DecodedFrontend]

You can provide injector (or particular service you need) of WeatherComponent via template context and then from the context provide to the target component as an input and fetch dependencies from there. Maybe there are another workarounds but I heard only about this one.

[@theanswer1993]

Watching this video made me realize I know nothing about templates after working 4 years with Angular. I mean I used all of this before but not like this 😅

[@ranaivosonherimanitra5110]

What's the purpose of exclamation point (!) Here?

[@DecodedFrontend]

Thanks for your question :) It tells TypeScript that the property won't have an initial value and and will be setup later in runtime.

[@VinitNeogi]

It is the non-null assertion operator to tell the compiler this variable is not null or undefined.

[@user-rp9iis1en6h]

Suppose I have created a reusable form group control, that utilizes a custom form control itself. I want to reuse this form group control across different forms, the only difference is the validation logic which should be passed from the parent forms. How to achieve it? So the validation path will be something like parent->formGroup control->custom control. N.B. Form group control is also another form control .

[@DecodedFrontend]

Do you have a small Stackblitz with this use case? Because from what I understood you just have to provide a validator via e.g @Input or DI and in the reusable FormGroup and it just has to add this validator calling addValidators method of the FormGroup. But I am quite sure that I am missing something, so the Stackblitz example would help a lot here.

[@user-rp9iis1en6h]

@@DecodedFrontend Unfortunately stackblitz example is not available at the moment. Let me add a bit more. My concept is something like, I have many forms where I have to deal with a group of dropdown. Those dropdowns together generates a data set.(i.e. address section). Now, If I create a custom control with group of dropdowns,so that can write the data section to parent form model, than surely I can reuse this custom control accross different different forms. But may be in some case I have to change the validations. Sometime i may only need a few dropdowns , sometime all dropdown may be mandatory. Now, If I create a custom dropdown input control, and use this inside my custom group of dropdown control, than the scenario would be, Parent form will use the group control, group control will internally use custom dropdown control. Parent will define the validation logic. Hopefully now I was able to clearly explain my concept. Appreciate your time.

[@brucearmstrong5536]

i have done something similar to this , Hope it helps have a reusable single input component and by passing a object as input i can switch between different types of inputs(i.e number , text , textarea) yes validations also passed as well (i.e pattern , minlength , required) reusable component should implement ControlValueAccessor, it should also have formgroup with single formcontrol i also had a formgroup in the parent component as well u can also pass custom validation function to this reusable input component as well if the validation doesnt depend on other form fields if it depends on other form fields u have to create validation function in parent component so in parent component template , u will paste this template of the reusable component passing the object for telling which type of input and validations the formcontrol in parent component also needs the same validations for it to work properly
