Test waiting for ng-if element to appear not working

I am using Protractor. Theres this test im writing: I am waiting for an element to appear. When it appears i'd like to click it. So i've done this:

it("Test", () => {
            let k: p.ElementFinder = element(by.className("gift-back"));
            browser.wait(() => {
                let promise = k.isPresent().then((isPresent: boolean) => {
                    console.log(isPresent);
                    return isPresent;
                });
                return promise;
            });
            k.click();

The problem is that, the element i am waiting for to appear (the element with class gift-back) is an ng-if element.So this element is not in the DOM all the time and this test is not actually working. Help or warkaround is highly appreciated!

There is a built-in Expected Condition for the "presence" checks, try it:

var EC = protractor.ExpectedConditions;
var elm = element(by.className("gift-back"));
browser.wait(EC.presenceOf(elm), 5000);  // wait up to 5 seconds
