what is the use of viewChild({static: false/true})

Question

Accepted Answer

ViewChild is used to get a reference to a child component or element in the parent component's template.

ViewChild is used in Angular to access a child component or element from the parent component's template.
The static flag determines whether the reference is resolved at compile time or runtime.
If static is set to true, the reference is resolved at compile time and can be used in ngOnInit.
If static is set to false, the reference is resolved at runtime and can be used in ngAfterViewInit.
Example: @ViewChild('childComponent', {static: true}) childComponent: ChildComponent;
Example: @ViewChild('childElement', {static: false}) childElement: ElementRef;
