Angular2 ngSwitch with only

<ng-container [ngSwitch]="activeLayout">
  <ng-container *ngSwitchCase="'layout1'" [ngTemplateOutlet]="template1"></ng-container>
  <ng-container *ngSwitchDefault [ngTemplateOutlet]="defaultTemplate"></ng-container>
</ng-container>

This is my solution when I need to make a switch of different ng-template.
I hope it works for you.
