Angular2 - How to use string enums with *ngIf
As @Buczkowski suggested, you can do it like this:
export enum RoleType { User = 'User', Admin = 'Admin'}component
RoleType = RoleType; // This way you can access its properties from the template.public hasAccess(role: RoleType) { //check role type and return true or false}component html
<div id="adminDiv" *ngIf="hasAccess(RoleType.Admin)"></div>
Here is a much cleaner way of doing this. Do the following in your component.ts
allRoleTypes = RoleType;and in your html
*ngIf="role===allRoleTypes.User"You don't need to write any method.
Get it as a string, then convert it to the RoleType.
public hasAccess(role: string): boolean {const roleAsEnum: RoleType = RoleType[role];return ...}
