Features with a local variable

Question

I am wondering what are the possibilities with a local variable. I know the following:

• You can get the value

  <select #selectField (change)="funtionBla(selectField.value)" 
     <option value="1">1</option>
     <option value="2">2</option>
  </select>
  

• You can call directive methods

   <button type="button" (click)="directiveBla.myFunction()"> test </button>
  

or HTML based

<video #movieplayer ...>
  <button (click)="movieplayer.play()">
</video>

But is there a way to change the style of the VIA Local Variable element, or can I add the element to the reference?

Answer 1

You can get a link to elements with a local variable of type

@ViewChild('selectField') someField;

It is also used for DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoLocation

dcl.loadIntoLocation(DynamicElement, _elementRef, 'selectedField')
