I'm trying to create a tab component using bootstrap.

<app-tabs> <app-tab [label]="'label1'">Description 1</app-tab> <app-tab [label]="'label2'">Description 2</app-tab> </app-tabs>

I had a look at this article: https://juristr.com/blog/2016/02/learning-ng2-creating-tab-component/ but my use case is different.

I need to use a different <ng-content> in each loop of the for. This is my plunker: https://plnkr.co/edit/N2p8Vx?p=preview It prints both descriptions in the second tab, leaving the first one empty.

Appreciate any help!

You can take a look at how angular material implemented tabs control.

There are some caveats about this approach https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/18691 but anyway here is simplified version:

tab.component.ts

@Component({ selector: 'app-tab', template: ` <ng-template> <ng-content></ng-content> </ng-template>` }) export class TabComponent { ... @ViewChild(TemplateRef) template: TemplateRef<any>; }

tabs.component.ts

<div *ngFor="let tab of tabs; let i = index" class="tab-pane" [ngClass]="{'active': i === 0}"...> <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="tab.template"></ng-container> </div>

Thank you very much @yurzui. That's the solution I was looking for. I had tried the *ngTemplateOutlet but I didn't realize I needed to put the TemplateRef in the TabComponent. Cheers!
Plunker example is very nice! This is the power aka (complexity) that angular can achive
