Usage notes

The following template breaks down into two separate TemplateRef instances, an outer one and an inner one.

Count: {{items.length}}
<ul>
  <li *ngFor="let  item of items">{{item}}</li>
</ul>

This is the outer TemplateRef:

Count: {{items.length}}
<ul>
  <ng-template ngFor let-item [ngForOf]="items"></ng-template>
</ul>

This is the inner TemplateRef:

<li>{{item}}</li>

The outer and inner TemplateRef instances are assembled into views as follows:

<!-- ViewRef: outer-0 -->
Count: 2
<ul>
  <ng-template view-container-ref></ng-template>
  <!-- ViewRef: inner-1 --><li>first</li><!-- /ViewRef: inner-1 -->
  <!-- ViewRef: inner-2 --><li>second</li><!-- /ViewRef: inner-2 -->
</ul>
<!-- /ViewRef: outer-0 -->
