@let allows you to define a local variable and re-use it across the template.

Syntax ​

@let name = user.name;
@let data = data$ | async;

Description ​

@let declarations are similar to JavaScript's let and their values can be any valid Angular expression. The expressions will be re-evaluated everytime the template is executed.

Similarly to javascript variables, variables declared @let, can be used:

• After they have been declared
• Within the bound of the same scope and nested scopes

@let user = user$ | async;

@if (user) {
  <h1>Hello, {{user.name}}</h1>
  <user-avatar [photo]="user.photo"/>

  <ul>
    @for (snack of user.favoriteSnacks; track snack.id) {
      <li>{{snack.name}}</li>
    }
  </ul>

  <button (click)="update(user)">Update profile</button>
}

Syntax definition ​

The @let syntax is formally defined as:

• The @let keyword.
• Followed by one or more whitespaces, not including new lines.
• Followed by a valid JavaScript name and zero or more whitespaces.
• Followed by the = symbol and zero or more whitespaces.
• Followed by an Angular expression which can be multi-line.
• Terminated by the ; symbol.
