<ng-content>
is a special element that accepts markup or a template fragment and controls how components render content. It does not render a real DOM element.
Here is an example of a BaseButton
component that accepts any markup from its parent.
// ./base-button/base-button.component.tsimport { Component } from '@angular/core';@Component({ selector: 'button[baseButton]', standalone: true, template: ` <ng-content /> `,})export class BaseButton {}
// ./app.component.tsimport { Component } from '@angular/core';import { BaseButton } from './base-button/base-button.component.ts';@Component({ selector: 'app-root', standalone: true, imports: [BaseButton], template: ` <button baseButton> Next <span class="icon arrow-right" /> </button> `,})export class AppComponent {}
