Got interpolation ({{}}) where expression was expected

Question

I have the following HTML but i get the the exception. How to fix it ?

Parser Error: Got interpolation ({{}}) where expression was expected at column 48 in [!(editForm.controls.field_item_exportExpression_{{i}}?.dirty && editForm.controls.field_item_exportExpression_{{i}}?.invalid)]

<div class="form-group">   <label class="form-control-label" for="field_exportExpression">exportExpression</label>   <input class="form-control" type="text" id="field_item_exportExpression_{{i}}" name="item_exportExpression_{{i}}" [(ngModel)]="datatype.items[i].exportExpression" required>   <div [hidden]="!(editForm.controls.field_item_exportExpression_{{i}}?.dirty && editForm.controls.field_item_exportExpression_{{i}}?.invalid)">    <small class="form-text text-danger" [hidden]="!editForm.controls.field_item_exportExpression_{{i}}?.errors?.required" dpTranslate="dataconfiguration.validation.required"> This field is                             required. </small>  </div> </div> 

The following is not working. Saying unwanted token [ found.

[hidden]="!editForm.controls.['item_exportExpression_' + i]?.errors?.required  

The following is not complaining about [ but complaining Cannot read property '0' of undefined

 [hidden]="!editForm.controls.item_exportExpression_[ i]?.errors?.required  

Answer 1

{{}} never goes together with [prop]="..." or (event)="..."

<small class="form-text text-danger"         [hidden]="!editForm.controls.['field_item_exportExpression_' + i]?.errors?.required" dpTranslate="dataconfiguration.validation.required"> This field is                         required.  </small> 

Answer 2

There are 4 types of bindings:

• Property binding i.e. [] required to evaluate values
• Model binding i.e. [()] required nothing special
• Interpolation binding i.e. {{}} could be used with general attributes
• Event binding i.e. () worked great with functions

To answer your question, something like this worked for us:

<input type="checkbox" [id]="['model-'+i]" [(ngModel)]="model" name="model-{{i}}" (change)="changeHandler($event)" />
