Alternative name for *ngIf directive

Question

A long time ago Angular 2's docs mentioned an alternate name for *ngIf, that didn't use an asterisk. I believe it was something similar to <prefix>-ng-if where <prefix> was some short prefix.

I cannot find any reference to this in the latest docs.

The use case is that the xml parser I am required to use does not support attributes preceded by '*'.

You can use

<template [ngIf]="expr"></template>

or

<template bind-ngIf="expr"></template>
