@Component({
selector: 'my-comp',
template: `
<div #myContainer>
</div>
`
})
export class MyComp implements AfterViewInit {
@ViewChild('myContainer') container: ElementRef;
constructor() {}
ngAfterViewInit() {
var container = this.container.nativeElement;
console.log(container.width); // or whatever
}
}
Attention: The view child name has to begin with myName and in the template you need #.
