Angular 2 Is there a way to get access to the component logic or element style value inside animation metadata

Question

Basically what i need to know is is there a way to calculate the height of the component that is dynamically created from the recursive tree. So obviously i cannot use tree inside my metadata declarations but i can calculate it height inside the *ngStyle directory like this

<my-directory [directory]='childDirectory' *ngStyle={'max-height:calcMaxHeight(childDirectory)><my-directory> 

So let`s say my animations state is going to change the max height from one calculated by *ngStyle directive to 0, to create the slideUp effect. But is there a way to access the value, previously calculated, inside animations metadata.

Answer 1

It is possible to use the '*' to access the element dimensional properties. Here is the article that explains it.
