+## template input variable
+
+A template input variable is a variable you can reference within a single instance of the template. You declare a template input variable using the `let` keyword as in `let customer`.
+
+```
+ <tr *ngFor="let customer of customers;">
+     <td>{{customer.customerNo}}</td>
+     <td>{{customer.name}}</td>
+     <td>{{customer.address}}</td>
+     <td>{{customer.city}}</td>
+     <td>{{customer.state}}</td>
+     <button (click)="selectedCustomer=customer">Select</button>
+   </tr>
+```
