}

Answer 1

getUrl(){
  return "url('"+this.commonUrlObj.commonUrl+"'/placeholder.jpg')";
}

Answer 2

Maybe I didn't understand your problem but is this what you wanted to do ?

getUrl(){
  return `url('${this.commonUrlObj.commonUrl}/placeholder.jpg')`;
}

Answer 3

You can't have an background image for an image. What you can do is wrap a div and give it an background:

getUrl(){
  return "url('"+this.commonUrlObj.commonUrl+"'/placeholder.jpg')";
}

<div  [ngStyle]="{'background-image': getUrl()}>
  <img [src]="url" style="height: 400px;width: 400px">
</div>

Answer 4

As per docs in Angular.io you can give ngStyle an ObjExp. Like this.

TS
// Not in the question but don't use a constructor to define vars
private commonUrl: string = 'localhost:3000'; // Could have this as an env variable

getBackground() {
   return {'background-image': `url(${this.commonUrl}/placeholder.png)`};
}

HTML
<div [ngStyle]="getBackground()"></div>
