What is the difference between Content Projection and View Projection?

Quick Answer Content projection (ng-content): parent passes markup INTO a component - the child controls layout, parent provides content. View projection is not a standard Angular term. ViewChild queries elements within the component's own template. ContentChild queries projected content. Content projection enables reusable container components (cards, panels, dialogs) that accept arbitrary content from parents.

Answer

Content Projection inserts external content into a child component's template, enabling reusable layout patterns.

View Projection uses internal views created by the component via ViewChild, ViewContainerRef, or embedded views.

Content projection passes external markup; view projection manages internal view trees.
