Using comma as a list separator in Angular 2

Question

I want to create a list of items in my template, separated by commas, but I don't want the last item to have a comma:

one, two, three 

How do I accomplish this with Angular 2's template syntax?

Answer 1

I like Eric's answer better (see his comment for a sample Plunker):

<span *ngFor="let item of items; let isLast=last">    {{item}}{{isLast ? '' : ', '}} </span> 

My original answer was to use the optional index in the NgFor microsyntax:

<span *ngFor="#item of items, #i=index">    {{item}}{{i === items.length - 1 ? '' : ', '}} </span> 

An alternative is to use just use CSS ::before syntax, as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31805688/215945

Answer 2

I think a simpler approach is

<span> {{items.join(", ")}} </span>
