Using Angular2 ngFor index
Angular does not provide this functionality out of the box. I think that the simplest way to achieve the desired result is to only display data on every third index like so:
<div class="list-group"> <div *ngFor="let p of products; let idx = index" > <div class="row" *ngIf="idx % 3 === 0"> <app-product [product]="products[idx]"></app-product> <app-product [product]="products[idx+1]"></app-product> <app-product [product]="products[idx+2]"></app-product> </div> </div></div>
Demo
For index try this:
Controller File add function :
chunks(array, size) { let results = []; while (array.length) { results.push(array.splice(0, size)); } return results;};
In you view file :
<div *ngFor="let chunkProduct of chunks(products,3);" > <div class="row"> <app-product *ngFor="let product of chunkProduct" [product]="product"></app-product> </div></div>
This will work for all number , not only %3 numbers.
@Teddy Sterne's solution will work incase of the number is %3 If we have 8 products it will show only 6 last 2 will be lost , in this it will also be shown.
And it will create extra blank div tags for not %3 index , if you inspect the element and check , because it will loop through each product and div will get repeated no matter if its index %3 or not.
Thanks Teddy Sterne for his answer.
Here's how it helped me to create a calendar control having 7 cells in a row
<div class="container-fluid"> <table class="table table-bordered"> <ng-container *ngFor="let d of data; let i = index" > <tr *ngIf="i % 7 === 0"> <td *ngFor="let x of [i,i+1,i+2,i+3,i+4,i+5,i+6]"> {{data[x]}} </td> </tr> </ng-container> </table> </div>
