Angular 4 - change color dependent on value

Issue

I'm working with Angular 4 and I have a problem with conditional style changing. I have a table and values in it. I need the values in a column to be changed depending if the value is greater or smaller than zero. For example: if the value is 123, then its color should be green. If the value is -123, then its color should be red.

There is fragment of my code below, but it doesn't work like I'd like to:

<mat-table>
    <ng-container matColumnDef="availableBalance">
      <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef>Available balance</mat-header-cell>
      <mat-cell *matCellDef="let row" *ngIf="row.availableBalance > 0" [style.color]="'red'"> {{row.availableBalance}}</mat-cell>
    </ng-container>
</mat-table>

Do you have any solutions? Thank you in advance.

Solution

You could use ngClass for this. https://angular.io/api/common/NgClass

<mat-table>
    <ng-container matColumnDef="availableBalance">
      <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef>Available balance</mat-header-cell>
      <mat-cell *matCellDef="let row"
         [ngClass]="{
            'positive' : row.availableBalance > 0,
            'negative' : row.availableBalance < 0
         }"
      >{{row.availableBalance}}</mat-cell>
    </ng-container>
</mat-table>

In your CSS:

.positive {
    background-color: green;
}

.negative {
    background-color: red;
}

This will leave 0 unstyled.
