Angular2: what expressions can we interpolate in template

Question

I read that we can interpolate Javascript expressions. What is the list of valid Javascript expressions that we can interpolate? So far for interpolation I have a displayed property, eg. object.property, short expressions like {{1+1}} what else Javascript expressions can we interpolate?

Answer 1

Expressions in Angular2 are very similar to expressions in Angular in terms of the scope of what they allow.

JavaScript expressions that promote side effects are prohibited including

• Assignment (= +=, -=)
• Using the new keyword
• Chaining expressions using a semicolon or comma
• Increment (++) and decrement operators

Furthermore, there is no support for bitwise operators like | or &

Generally, it's a good idea to put complex JavaScript logic inside a controller or component, instead of inside a view. This is because of the Separation of Concerns design principle and making code more modular and readable.
