Understanding Microsyntax

Under the hood Angular compiles structural directives into ng-template elements, e.g.:

<!-- This -->
    <div *ngFor="let item of [1,2,3]">
    
    <!-- Get expanded into this -->
    <ng-template ngFor [ngForOf]="[1,2,3]" let-item="$implicit"></ng-template>
    

The value passed to *ngFor directive is written using microsyntax. You can learn about it in the docs.
