<h1>Directive enhancement</h1>
> Author: Thomas Laforge
## Information
Directive is a very powerful tool only offered by the Angular framework. You can apply the DRY principal by having shared logic inside a directive and applying it to any component you want.
But the real power is that you can enhance an already existing directive which moreover doesn't **belong** to you.
## Statement
In this exercice, we have a want to display a list of persons. If the list is empty, you must display _" the list is empty !! "_.
Currently we have :
```typescript
<ng-container *ngIf="persons.length > 0; else emptyList">
<div *ngFor="let person of persons">
{{ person.name }}
</div>
</ng-container>
<ng-template #emptyList>The list is empty !!</ng-template>
```
We want to get rid of the ng-container by writing :
```typescript
<div *ngFor="let person of persons; empty: emptyList">
{{ person.name }}
</div>
<ng-template #emptyList>The list is empty !!</ng-template>
```
The goal is to **improve the ngFor directive**
