ngTemplateOutlet: The secret to customisation | Stephen Cooper | #AngularConnect

Are you trying to create a customisable component with Angular? TemplateRefs and the ngTemplateOutlet directive could be the secret you are missing to achieve full user template customisation. Join us in this talk to see how we transformed our components to achieve this. We will show how TemplateRefs enable you to provide default templates whilst accepting custom display templates that seamlessly integrate into your component. Users can even target variables from your component's internal scope that you choose to expose. Most importantly we will examine the differences between ngTemplateOutlet and ngInclude (Transclusion) and give examples when you should use each approach to template customisation. After this talk you will have all the knowledge and skills you need to start using ngTemplate and ngTemplateOutlet in your own components and wonder how you ever survived without them!
