Call a function from an *ngIf Angular 5

Say I have this code here

<div *ngIf="item">lorem ipsum</div> 

Is there a way I can call a function if that *ngIf evaluates to true??

you know something like this..

<div *ngIf="(item) : callFunction() ? ...">lorem ipsum</div> 

any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Angular way would be:

<div *ngIf="name; then func(); else false">;</div>

But as *ngIf evaluates passed in logical expression, you can also do:

<div *ngIf="name?func():false">;</div>

Try like this

<div *ngIf="item ===true?callFunction():'otherStuff'">lorem ipsum</div> 

You can try like this

Html

<div *ngIf="item; then callfunction; else nofunction"></div> <ng-template #callfunction> {{call()}} </ng-template> <ng-template #nofunction> <!-- something else --> </ng-template> 

Ts

call(){ } 

If you got better solution than this please post that to
