How to iterate object keys using *ngFor?

Or instead of creating a pipe and passing an object to *ngFor, just pass Object.keys(MyObject) to *ngFor. It returns the same as the pipe, but without the hassle.

On TypeScript file:

let list = Object.keys(MyObject); // good old javascript on the rescue

On template (html):

*ngFor="let item of list"

Update

In 6.1.0-beta.1 KeyValuePipe was introduced https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/24319

<div *ngFor="let item of {'b': 1, 'a': 1} | keyvalue">
  {{ item.key }} - {{ item.value }}
</div>

Plunker Example

Previous version

You could try something like this

export class ObjNgFor implements PipeTransform {
    transform(value: any, args: any[] = null): any {
        return Object.keys(value).map(key => Object.assign({ key }, value[key]));
    }
}

And then on your template

  <div *ngFor="let obj of objs | ObjNgFor">
   {{obj.key}} - {{obj.description}}
  </div>
