Usage

Import NgxObserveDirective in your component or module. Then bind an observable with Angular microsyntax. You might also then configure your component to use OnPush-ChangeDetection.

import { NgxObserveDirective } from 'ngx-observe';

@Component({
  // ...
  imports: [
    NgxObserveDirective 
  ],
  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush
})
export class AppComponent  {
  users$: Observable<User>

  constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.users$ = this.http.get<User[]>('/users')
  }
}

<p *ngxObserve="users$ as users; before loadingTemplate; error errorTemplate">
  There are {{ users.length }} online.
</p>
<ng-template #loadingTemplate>
  <p>Loading ...</p>
</ng-template>
<ng-template #errorTemplate let-error>
  <p>{{ error }}</p>
</ng-template>
