Is it possible to change element styling based on object property in Angular?

Question

I have class with some properties:

export class Task {
    name: string;
    state: number;
}

In my component.ts I have an array of objects with class Task (tasks).

In template I show them like this:

<div *ngFor='let task of tasks'>
  <p>{{ task.name }}</p>
  <p>{{ task.state }}</p>
</div>

Is it possible to change styling of my div based on task.state property? For example, I want it to be with red background when it's 0 and yellow when it's 1. I think I need to use directives, but I can't understand how.

Answer 1

Angular gives you two directives to style your element. You can use either ngStyle or ngClass for styling purpose.

In your scenario you can use -

-ngClass

Firstly create two css classes with name 'red-bg' and 'ylow-bg' according to their behaviour.

<div *ngFor='let task of tasks' [ngClass]="task.state === 0?'red-bg':'ylow-bg'">
  <p>{{ task.name }}</p>
  <p>{{ task.state }}</p>
</div>

-ngStyle

<div *ngFor='let task of tasks' [ngStyle]="{'background-color':task.state===0?'red':'yellow'}">
   <p>{{ task.name }}</p>
   <p>{{ task.state }}</p>
</div>
