How to use ngSwitch on datatype in angular?
An alternative would be to use ngIf:
<p *ngIf="isObject(value)">This is Object</p> <p *ngIf="isArray(value)">This is Array</p> <p *ngIf="isBoolean(value)">This is Boolean</p> <p *ngIf="isNumber(value)">This is Number</p> <p *ngIf="!isObject(value) || !isArray(value) || !isBoolean(value) || !isNumber(value)">This is Simple Text !</p>
Yes, you can do it but now directly in template. Just create a method in controller to check for a type:
import {Component} from '@angular/core'@Component({ selector: 'my-app', providers: [], template: ` <div> <div [ngSwitch]="checkType(name)"> <p *ngSwitchCase="'string'">is a string!</p> <p *ngSwitchDefault>default</p> </div> </div> `, directives: []})export class App { constructor() { this.name = 'Angular2 (Release Candidate!)' } checkType(value) { return typeof value }}Please update your Angular to RC version first.
