Angular2 check if object has peoperty inside *ngIf

Question

export interface Element {    
    name: string;   
}

export class Room implements Element {
name: string; 
type:string
}

export class Hall implements Element {
name: string;
}

and my varibale type is like below

selectedElement: Element;

now in html how can I check if the object is having property 'type' or not?

<div *ngIf="selectedElement?.type">
my div
</div>

Answer 1

I guess this should do what you want:

*ngIf="hasProp(selectedElement, 'type')"

hasProp(o, name) {
  return o.hasOwnProperty(name);
}

Answer 2

You can do it simply in the html:

<div *ngIf="selectedElement.hasOwnProperty('type')">
my div
</div>

or

<div *ngIf="selectedElement.hasOwnProperty('type');then 
showMyDiv">...</div>

<ng-template #showMyDiv> 
my div
</ng-template>
