Is it possible in Angular 2 to apply a pipe under condition? I would like to do something like:
{{ variable.text | (variable.value ? SomePipe : OtherPipe) }}
If not, what is the preferred way to achieve this effect?

You need to change the syntax a bit:
{{variable.value ? (variable.text | SomePipe) : (variable.text | pipe2)}}
Plunker example
Since such syntax isn't supported, I think that the only way to do that is to implement another pipe to handle the condition:
@Pipe({
name: 'condition'
})
export class ConditionPipe {
transform(val,conditions) {
let condition = conditions[0];
let conditionValue = conditions[1];
if (condition===conditionValue) {
return new Pipe1().transform(val);
} else {
return new Pipe2().transform(val);
}
}
}
And use it this way:
@Component({
selector: 'app'
template: `
<div>
{{val | condition:cond:1}}<br/>
</div>
`,
pipes: [ Pipe1, Pipe2, ConditionPipe ]
})
export class App {
val:string = 'test';
cond:number = 1;
}
