We bind the parent `NgSwitch` directive to an expression returning a *switch value*. The value is a string in this example, but it can be a value of any type.
We bind the parent `NgSwitch` directive to an expression returning a *switch value*.
The value is a string in this example, but it can be a value of any type.
The parent `NgSwitch` directive controls a set of child`<template>` elements. Each `<template>` wraps a candidate subtree. A template is either pegged to a “match value” expression or marked as the default template.
In this example, the parent `NgSwitch` directive controls a set of child `<span>` elements.
A `<span>` is either pegged to a *match value* expression or marked as the default.
**At any particular moment, at most one of these templates is in the DOM.**
If the templates *match value* equals the switch value, Angular adds the templates subtree to the DOM. If no template is a match and there is a default template, Angular adds the default templates subtree to the DOM. Angular removes and destroys the subtrees of all other templates.
**At any particular moment, at most one of these *spans* is in the DOM.**
If the *span*s *match value* equals the switch value, Angular adds the `<span>` to the DOM.
If none of the *spans* is a match, Angular adds the default *span* to the DOM.
Angular removes and destroys all other *spans*.

We could substitute any element for the *span* in this example.
That element could be a `<div>` with a vast subtree of its own elements.
Only the matching `<div>` and its subtree would appear in the DOM;
the others would be removed.

Three collaborating directives are at work here:
1. `ngSwitch`: bound to an expression that returns the switch value
1. `ngSwitchWhen`: bound to an expression returning a match value
1. `ngSwitchDefault`: a marker attribute on the default template
1. `ngSwitchDefault`: a marker attribute on the default element

#### NgForTrackBy
The `ngFor` directive has the potential to perform poorly, especially with large lists.
A small change to one item, an item removed, or an item added can trigger a cascade of DOM manipulations.
For example, we could refresh the list of heroes by re-querying the server.
The refreshed list probably contains most, if not all, of the previously displayed heroes.
*We* know this because the `id` of each hero hasn't changed.
But Angular sees only a fresh list of new object references.
It has no choice but to tear down the old list, discard those DOM elements, and re-build a new list with new DOM elements.
Angular can avoid this churn if we give it a *tracking* function that tells it what we know:
that two objects with the same `hero.id` are the same *hero*. Here is such a function:
// #enddocregion directives-ngForTrackBy-1
+makeExample('template-syntax/ts/app/app.component.ts', 'trackByHeroes')(format=".")
// #docregion directives-ngForTrackBy-2
:marked
Now set the `NgForTrackBy` directive to that *tracking* function.
Angular offers a variety of equivalent syntax choices including these two:
// #enddocregion directives-ngForTrackBy-2
+makeExample('template-syntax/ts/app/app.component.html', 'NgForTrackBy-2')(format=".")
// #docregion directives-ngForTrackBy-3
:marked
The *tracking* function doesn't eliminate all DOM changes.
Angular may have to update the DOM element if the same-hero *properties* have changed.
But if the properties haven't changed &mdash; and most of the time they will not have changed &mdash;
Angular can leave those DOM elements alone. The list UI will be smoother and more responsive.
Here is an illustration of the `NgForTrackBy` effect.

## * and &lt;template>
When we reviewed the `NgFor` and `NgIf` built-in directives, we called out an oddity of the syntax: the asterisk (`*`) that appears before the directive name.
## * and &lt;template&gt;
When we reviewed the `NgFor`, `NgIf`, and `NgSwitch` built-in directives, we called out an oddity of the syntax: the asterisk (`*`) that appears before the directive names.
The `*` is a bit of syntactic sugar that makes it easier to read and write directives that modify HTML layout
with the help of templates.
`NgFor`, `NgIf`, and `NgSwitch` all add and remove element subtrees that are wrapped in `<template>` tags.
With the [NgSwitch](#ngSwitch) directive we always write the `<template>` tags explicitly.
There isnt much choice; we define a different template for each switch choice
and let the directive render the template that matches the switch value.
We didn't see the `<template>` tags because the `*` prefix syntax allowed us to skip those tags and
focus directly on the HTML element that we are including, excluding, or repeating.
[NgFor](#ngFor) and [NgIf](#ngIf), on the other hand, each need only one template:
the *template-to-repeat* and the *template-to-include*, respectively.
The `*` prefix syntax is a convenient way to skip the `<template>` wrapper tags and
focus directly on the HTML element to repeat or include.
Angular sees the `*` and expands the HTML into the `<template>` tags for us.
In this section we go under the hood and see how
Angular strips away the `*` and expands the HTML into the `<template>` tags for us.

### Expanding `*ngIf`
We can do that expansion ourselves if we wish. Here's some code with `*ngIf`:
We can do what Angular does ourselves and expand the `*` prefix syntax to template syntax. Here's some code with `*ngIf`:
// #enddocregion star-template-ngIf-1
+makeExample('template-syntax/ts/app/app.component.html', 'Template-1')(format=".")
// #docregion star-template-ngIf-2a
:marked
The `currentHero` is referenced twice, first as the true/false condition for `NgIf` and
again as the actual hero passed into the `HeroDetailComponent`.
The first expansion step transports the `ngIf` (without the `*` prefix) and its contents
into an expression assigned to a `template` directive.
// #enddocregion star-template-ngIf-2a
+makeExample('template-syntax/ts/app/app.component.html', 'Template-2a')(format=".")
// #docregion star-template-ngIf-2
:marked
Here's the equivalent with `<template>` and `ngIf`:
The next (and final) step unfolds the HTML into a `<template>` tag and `[ngIf]` [property binding](#property-binding):
// #enddocregion star-template-ngIf-2
+makeExample('template-syntax/ts/app/app.component.html', 'Template-2')(format=".")
// #docregion star-template-ngIf-3
:marked
Notice that the `*` is gone and we have a [property binding](#property-binding) to the `ngIf`
directive, applied in this case to the `<template>` rather than
the applications `hero-detail` component.
The `[hero]="currentHero"` binding remains on the child `<hero-detail>`
Notice that the `[hero]="currentHero"` binding remains on the child `<hero-detail>`
element inside the template.

… even when there is no `currentHero`!
// #enddocregion star-template-ngIf-4
// #docregion star-template-ngSwitch-1
:marked
### Expanding `*ngSwitch`
A similar transformation applies to `*ngSwitch`. We can de-sugar the syntax ourselves.
Here's an example, first with `*ngSwitchWhen` and `*ngSwitchDefault` and then again with `<template>` tags:
// #enddocregion star-template-ngSwitch-1
+makeExample('template-syntax/ts/app/app.component.html', 'NgSwitch-expanded')
// #docregion star-template-ngSwitch-2
:marked
The `*ngSwitchWhen` and `*ngSwitchDefault` expand in exactly the same manner as `*ngIf`,
wrapping their former elements in `<template>` tags.
Now we can see why the `ngSwitch` itself is not prefixed with an asterisk (*).
It does not define content. It's job is to control a collection of templates.
In this case, it governs two sets of `NgSwitchWhen` and `NgSwitchDefault` directives.
We should expect it to display the values of the selected template twice,
once for the (*) prefixed version and once for the expanded template version.
That's exactly what we see in this example:
figure.image-display
img(src='/resources/images/devguide/template-syntax/ng-switch-anim.gif' alt="NgSwitch")
// #enddocregion star-template-ngSwitch-2
// #docregion star-template-ngFor-1
:marked
### Expanding `*ngFor`
A similar transformation applies to `*ngFor`. We can de-sugar the syntax ourselves. First, here's an example with `*ngFor`:
The `*ngFor` undergoes a similar transformation. We begin with an `*ngFor` example:
// #enddocregion star-template-ngFor-1
+makeExample('template-syntax/ts/app/app.component.html', 'NgFor-2')(format=".")
+makeExample('template-syntax/ts/app/app.component.html', 'Template-3a')(format=".")
// #docregion star-template-ngFor-2
:marked
Here's the same example, slightly expanded:
Here's the same example after transporting the `ngFor` to the `template` directive:
// #enddocregion star-template-ngFor-2
+makeExample('template-syntax/ts/app/app.component.html', 'Template-3')(format=".")
// #docregion star-template-ngFor-3
:marked
And here it is, expanded further:
And here it is expanded further into a `<template>` tag wrapping the original `<hero-detail>` element:
// #enddocregion star-template-ngFor-3
+makeExample('template-syntax/ts/app/app.component.html', 'Template-4')(format=".")
// #docregion star-template-ngFor-4
:marked
The `NgFor` code is a bit more complex than `NgIf` because a repeater has more moving parts to configure.
In this case, we have to remember the `NgForOf` directive that identifies the list.
In this case, we have to remember to create and assign the `NgForOf` directive that identifies the list and the `NgForTrackBy` directive.
Using the `*ngFor` syntax is much easier than writing out this expanded HTML ourselves.
