Angular 2 Template as a parameter to component

This is how I did it:

Usage:

<ng-template #myTemplate let-item="item">
    <strong>Name: </strong> {{item.name}}<br>
    <strong>Id: </strong> {{item.id}}
</ng-template>

<app-template-param [items]="items" [template]="myTemplate"></app-template-param>

Component:

@Component({
   selector: 'app-template-param',
   templateUrl: 'template-param.html'
})
export class TemplateParamComponent implements OnInit {
    @Input() items: Array<any>;
    @Input() template: TemplateRef<any>;
}

Component HTML

<ng-template #defaultTemplate let-item="item">
    <strong>{{item.name}}</strong>
</ng-template>
<ul>
    <li *ngFor="let item of items">
        <ng-template [ngTemplateOutlet]="template || defaultTemplate" [ngTemplateOutletContext]="{item: item}"></ng-template>
    </li>
</ul>
