Pass variable in Angular 2 template

You should do like this:

<div *ngFor="foo in foos">
   <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="inner; context:foo"></ng-container>
</div>

<ng-template #inner let-name="name">
   {{ name }}
</ng-template>

But this doesn't work if the template is located in another component. How do you pass a context object in such scenario?

I added
@Input() itemTemplate: TemplateRef<any>;

in component where I will use it, and in template of this component I write something like this:

  <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="itemTemplate; context: item"></ng-container>

Code of template from outside component:

<ng-template #dataRendererTpl let-data="data">
<div class="data">Hello, {{data.name}}</div>

Just pass link to dataRendererTpl as @Input() property to component in which you need it

in my case I needed the object to remain intact because I had some kind of recursion, this worked

<div *ngFor="foo in foos">
   <ng-container *ngTemplateOutlet="inner; context: {foo : foo}"></ng-container>
</div>

<ng-template #inner let-foo="foo">
   {{ foo.attributexy }}
</ng-template>
