Just brushing up on some Angular2 and run into this error it didn’t make sense since I was using a tutorial from the official angular site. It turns out the language is changing faster that the documentation can keep up with :). The cause for the error was using #
with ngFor instead of let
so instead of *ngFor="#Item of Items"
do *ngFor="let Item of Items"
My previous angular2 apps are locked to earlier versions of angular thats why I hadn’t run into this issue, but this time around I was starting a new project with the latest angular2 version.
