What loop-types exist in Angular 2?

Question

What are the types of loops that exist in Angular 2?

I could only find for and foreach, but I'm having trouble to find any other ones. Is there a list somewhere?

Are there examples somewhere? That would help in understanding very strongly.

[EDIT]: What I am essentially looking for is a list of all the different loop types in Angular 2.

[EDIT 2]: What I really mean are the loops specific to Angular 2 within the template-section (Sorry, I didn't know there were so many possibilities). To give an example with *ngFor:

<ul class="contacts">
  <li *ngFor="#contact of contacts"
      (click)="onSelectContact(contact)"
      [class.selectedContact]="contact === selectedContact">
    <span class="badge">{{contact.id}}</span> {{contact.name}}
  </li>
</ul>

Answer 1

The only template loop directive in Angular 2 is ngFor, and it only works with iterables, typically arrays. (In Angular 1, ng-repeat would also work with objects, but Angular 2 does not.)

You can use a pipe to format, filter, sort, etc. the list before displaying it.

Answer 2

You can use the ngFor directive in Angular 2 for looping/iterating.

Like this

<li *ngFor="#item of items; #i = index">...</li>

Documentation for this directive can be found here https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/api/common/index/NgFor-directive.html

And an example of this being done within the Developer Guides on Angular 2's website https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/displaying-data.html#!#showing-an-array-property-with-ngfor
