View child in the new Angular

I'm studing Angular. How is better to configure the new Angular 8 view child?

@ViewChild('example', {read: ElementRef, static: false})
public example: ElementRef;

or

@ViewChild('example', {read: ElementRef, static: true})
public example: ElementRef;

Which is better? When should I use static:true vs static:false?

Solution

  • You can go for the following:

    • { static: true } needs to be set when you want to access the ViewChild in ngOnInit.

    • { static: false } can only be accessed in ngAfterViewInit.
