How to access TemplateRef on the component of Angular?

Question

Component TS

ngOnInit() {
    if(somecondition)
        // This is the line of code that wont work
        this.openModal(#tempName);
}

Component HTML

<ng-template #tempName>
    I got some content here
</ng-template>

this.openModal(#tempName) -> How do i get access to the ngTemplate tempName here?

Answer 1

Flyn you put in your code

@ViewChild('tempName') mymodal: ElementRef;
//You can NOT use this.mymodal at ngInit, the early time you can use is in ngAfterViewInit
ngAfterViewInit()
{
 if (somecondition)
   this.openModal(mymodal);
}
