In Angular 8   ViewChild takes 2 parameters  Try like this   ViewChild  nameInput     static  false    nameInputRef  ElementRef   Explanation     static  false    If you set static false  the child component ALWAYS gets initialized after the view initialization in time for the ngAfterViewInit ngAfterContentInit callback functions     static  true   If you set static true  the child component initialization will take place at the view initialization at ngOnInit By default you can use   static  false    If you are creating a dynamic view and want to use the template reference variable  then you should use    static  true  For more info  you can read this article  Working Demo  In the demo  we will scroll to a div using template reference variable    ViewChild  quot scrollDiv quot     static  true    scrollTo  ElementRef   With   static  true    we can use this scrollTo nativeElement in ngOnInit  but with   static  false     this scrollTo will be undefined in ngOnInit   so we can access in only in ngAfterViewInit

In Angular 8  ViewChild always takes 2 param  and second params always has  static  true or static  false  You can try like this    ViewChild  nameInput    static  false   component   Also the static  false is going to be the default fallback behaviour in Angular 9    What are static false true  So as a rule of thumb you can go for the following      static  true   needs to be set when you want to access the ViewChild in ngOnInit     static  false   can only be accessed in ngAfterViewInit  This is also what you want to go for when you have a structural directive  i e   ngIf  on your element in your template
