Angular ngFor index - How to get current last even and odd index?

This tutorial explains how to get the current last even and odd index with ngfor in angular.

Let’s create an employee model.

export class Employee {
  id: Number;
  name: string;
  salary: Number;
}

#Angular ngFor Index syntax and example

ngFor is a shorthand form for ngForOf directive This can be used to iterate an array of objects or objects.

Here is a ngFor syntax

<div *ngFor="let object of objectarray; let i=index;">
{{i}}/{{users.length}}. {{user}} <span*ngIf="isFirst">default</span>
</div>

This can be applied to any HTML element objectarray - an array of object object - typescript object or model class there are different local variables we can use

• index: get the index of a current item in an array
• count - length of an array that is equal to the array.length
• first: returns true if the current object is the first object, else false.
• last: returns true if the current object is the last, else false.
• even: returns true if a current object index is an even number
• odd : returns true if a current object index is an odd number

#How to get the first last event odd index of an Object Array

Let’s create an Angular component

• Initialize an object array with employee data

import { Component } from "@angular/core";
import { Employee } from "./employee";

@Component({
  selector: "my-app",
  templateUrl: "./app.component.html",
  styleUrls: ["./app.component.css"],
})
export class AppComponent {
  employees: Employee[] = [
    { id: 1, name: "Ram", salary: 5000 },
    { id: 2, name: "John", salary: 1000 },
    { id: 3, name: "Franc", salary: 3000 },
    { id: 4, name: "Andrew ", salary: 8000 },
  ];
  constructor() {}

  ngOnInit() {}
}

ngFor is used to iterate an enumerated object-like array of objects.

<table style="width:100%">
  <tr>
    <th>name</th>
    <th>index</th>
    <th>Count</th>
    <th>First</th>
    <th>Last</th>
    <th>Odd</th>
    <th>Even</th>
  </tr>
  <tr
    *ngFor="let employee of employees; let i=index;let count=count;let first=first;let last=last;let even=even;let odd=odd;"
  >
    <td>{{employee.name}}</td>
    <td>{{i}}</td>
    <td>{{count}}</td>
    <td>{{first}}</td>
    <td>{{last}}</td>
    <td>{{even}}</td>
    <td>{{odd}}</td>
  </tr>
</table>

outputs:

#Conclusion

ngFor directive used to iterate an object array, can get current index as well check for a current index is first, last, odd, and event.
