ngFor to display object data

Question

I'm trying to display all the .name and .info elements for actor and character objects shown below, using *ngFor.

I create the object here in my resultpage.component :

this.actorInfo = [{actor: res.actorInfo, character: this.characters}];

and here is my html for running through the elements in resultpage.html :

<div class="castMembers">
  <div class="member" *ngFor="let item of actorInfo">
    <span class="character">{{item.name}}</span>
    <span class="actor">{{item.info}}</span>
  </div>
</div>

The above code does not output any errors, but it also does not output any information. I believe this is due to the first element on the object being 0: . But trying *ngFor="let item[0] of actorInfo" causes major problems in Angular.

How can I display all the name and info items in my object?

Answer 1

You need to have two nested ngFor,

<div class="castMembers">
  <div class="member" *ngFor="let item of actorInfo">
    <div class="member" *ngFor="let actor of item.actorInfo ">
    <span class="character">{{actor.name}}</span>
    </div>
    <div class="member" *ngFor="let character of item.character">
    <span class="actor">{{character.info}}</span>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Answer 2

Try this:

<div class="castMembers">
<div class="member" *ngFor="let item of actorInfo">
    <div style="width: 100%">
        <div style="width: 50%; display: inline-block">
            <span class="character" *ngFor="let actor of item?.actor">
                {{actor.name}}
            </span>
        </div>
        <div style="width: 50%; display: inline-block">
            <span class="actor" *ngFor="let character of item?.character">
                {{character.info}}
            </span>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
</div>
