Remove Component from DOM

[Scott L]

What's the best way to remove an Angular component from the DOM? The component wasn't generated dynamically, but rather natively present when the app was launched. Using the directive *ngIf on the component I want to remove does work, however, I didn't know if there was another preferred way of removing the component?

Thanks, in advance.

Hi Scott,

Yep *ngIf is it. You can create your own structural directives if you want. For example, you could create an *userHasPermission directive.
Those will really take out the DOM nodes. But you should be less concerned about your DOM nodes. Angular allows you to focus on your data. DOM is just a way to represent it to your user.

Thanks Sander. I will look into that as well.

Best,

Scott
