NgStyle returns: ERROR Error: Cannot find a differ supporting object '{“background-color”:“blue”}'

Question

With this in my template,

<span [ngStyle]="myStyle()"> HELLO </span>

And this in my component,

myStyle(): string {
  return '{"background-color":"blue"}'
} 

I'm getting

Answer 1

The reason is that [ngStyle] does not accept a string. It accepts an object. Try this instead,

myStyle(): object {
  return {"background-color":"blue"};
}
