For case if with else, we can use ngIf and ngIfElse:



<ng-template [ngIf]="condition" [ngIfElse]="elseBlock">
  Content to render when condition is true.
</ng-template>
<ng-template #elseBlock>
  Content to render when condition is false.
</ng-template>


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

For case if with then, we can use ngIf and ngIfThen:



<ng-template [ngIf]="condition" [ngIfThen]="thenBlock">
  This content is never showing
</ng-template>
<ng-template #thenBlock>
  Content to render when condition is true.
</ng-template>


Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

For case if with then and else, we can use ngIf, ngIfThen, and ngIfElse:



<ng-template [ngIf]="condition" [ngIfThen]="thenBlock" [ngIfElse]="elseBlock">
  This content is never showing
</ng-template>
<ng-template #thenBlock>
  Content to render when condition is true.
</ng-template>
