How to iterate using ngFor loop Map containing key as string and values as map iteration

For Angular 6.1+ , you can use default pipe keyvalue ( Do review and upvote also ) :

<ul>
    <li *ngFor="let recipient of map | keyvalue">
        {{recipient.key}} --> {{recipient.value}}
    </li>
</ul>

For the previous version :

One simple solution to this is convert map to array : Array.from

Component Side :

map = new Map<String, String>();

constructor(){
    this.map.set("sss","sss");
    this.map.set("aaa","sss");
    this.map.set("sass","sss");
    this.map.set("xxx","sss");
    this.map.set("ss","sss");
    this.map.forEach((value: string, key: string) => {
        console.log(key, value);
    });
}

getKeys(map){
    return Array.from(map.keys());
}

Template Side :

<ul>
  <li *ngFor="let recipient of getKeys(map)">
    {{recipient}}
   </li>
</ul>

WORKING DEMO

If you are using Angular 6.1 or later, the most convenient way is to use KeyValuePipe

   @Component({
      selector: 'keyvalue-pipe',
      template: `<span>
        <p>Object</p>
        <div *ngFor="let item of object | keyvalue">
          {{item.key}}:{{item.value}}
        </div>
        <p>Map</p>
        <div *ngFor="let item of map | keyvalue">
          {{item.key}}:{{item.value}}
        </div>
      </span>`
    })
    export class KeyValuePipeComponent {
      object: Record<number, string> = {2: 'foo', 1: 'bar'};
      map = new Map([[2, 'foo'], [1, 'bar']]);
    }

Edit

For angular 6.1 and newer, use the KeyValuePipe as suggested by Londeren.

For angular 6.0 and older

To make things easier, you can create a pipe.

import {Pipe, PipeTransform} from '@angular/core';

@Pipe({name: 'getValues'})
export class GetValuesPipe implements PipeTransform {
    transform(map: Map<any, any>): any[] {
        let ret = [];

        map.forEach((val, key) => {
            ret.push({
                key: key,
                val: val
            });
        });

        return ret;
    }
}

 <li *ngFor="let recipient of map |getValues">

As it it pure, it will not be triggered on every change detection, but only if the reference to the map variable changes
