angular2 ngIf真或假条件

Question

Can someone help me with this ngIf condition, I'm trying to hide the logout when key doesn't exist and show it when its exist in the localStorage . I'm getting confused about multiple conditions in the ngIf but the checks are correct.

This check is being used as a directive.

checkSession() {
  var checkKey = localStorage.getItem('sessionKey');
  if(checkKey == null){
      var showLogout = false;
      console.log('null key: ', checkKey);
  } else {
      showLogout = true;
      //this check will only be available once the user is logged in
      console.log('key exist: ' checkKey);
  }

}

Html

 <a (click)="logout()" title="Logout" *ngIf="showLogout || (!showLogout && !showLogout)">
    <i class="fa fa-sign-out fa-2x" aria-hidden="true" ></i>
 </a>

It seems what you want is

export class MyComponent {

  /// other stuff

  showLogout:boolean = false;

  checkSession() {
    var checkKey = localStorage.getItem('sessionKey');
    if(checkKey == null){
        this.showLogout = false; // changed
        console.log('null key: ', checkKey);
    } else {
        this.showLogout = true; // changed
        //this check will only be available once the user is logged in
        console.log('key exist: ' checkKey);
    }
  }
}

A local variable won't be available in the template. The template can only access top-level properties and methods of your components class directly.
