Angular - access ngFor variable within a nested object

Question

I have accessed to a variable called key in this html element. How do I put the key inside of the

*ngIf below: *ngIf="isSubmitted && errors.key.translations", especially the errors.key.translation part.

<div class="form-group col" *ngFor="let key of matchingKeys">
    <div
        *ngIf="isSubmitted && errors.key.translations"
        class="invalid-feedback"
    >       
</div>

Do you mean access whatever `isSubmitted && errors.key.translations` gives inside the `div`? — dcg, Feb 24 '20 at 15:02
No, I mean that `errors.key.translations` does not work. What is the correct syntax? — Anton Ödman, Feb 24 '20 at 15:04
@AntonÖdman that syntax is correct. Are you getting any error? — dcg, Feb 24 '20 at 15:07
Michael's snippet should work fine: `errors[key].translations` — Tolulope Owolabi, Feb 24 '20 at 15:17

Replace dot with brackets. It should allow to access properties by name stored in a variable. Refer here. The following code should do it

<div *ngFor="let key of matchingKeys">
  <div *ngIf="isSubmitted && errors[key].translations">
    <p>
      {{ key }}
    </p>
  </div>       
</div>

Try this:

<div class="form-group col" *ngFor="let key of matchingKeys">
    <div
        *ngIf="isSubmitted && errors[key]['translations']"
        class="invalid-feedback"
    >       
</div>

I am assuming matchingKeys are the keys to get error..

Try:

*ngIf="isSubmitted && errors[key].translations"
