Render components in Tab using Angular templates

22 Sep 20254 minutes to read

You can render other components inside Tab using Angular ng-template. This approach enables you to add content as other components directly with all their functionalities integrated into the Tab. The ng-template must be used inside each e-tabitem tag with the #content attribute, which is mandatory to render content. Then use the ng-template tag with a select attribute containing the id or class name for mapping the required content.
