How to use two ngFor in html Angular 4?

In my angular 4 project in response of a request from server I get two different arrays and in template I want to use both of them. the controller code is:

this.contractService.getOwnerContract()
  .subscribe(
    res => {
     this.contracts = res.contracts;
     this.users= res.users;
  })

and in html I want to use two ngFor to use contract and users properties:

<div class="col-md-12 property-list-box" *ngFor="let contct of contracts ; let usr of users">
  <div>{{contct.id}}</div>
  <div>{{usr.id}}</div>
</div>

but this html code that I wrote doesn't work. What is the best solution? Thanks for helping in advanced.

If your both arrays have equal size then you can simple use any one of the Array and use the index for another. For example:

{{user.name}} {{ contacts[i].your_another_array_key}}

If array is not equal in size then you have to manipulate in some other fashion so it can be iterable in a single list like custom array.

You need to merge both the arrays and store in a variable and use the variable in your ngFor on the template.

Or you could a pipe to "merge" your two arrays into a single array and then you can iterate over it Here is a sample:

@Pipe({
  name: 'concat'
})
export class ConcatPipe {
  transform(arr1, arr2) {
    var arr = [];
    arr1.forEach((elt, i) => {
      arr.push({ state: elt, name: arr2[i] });
    });
  }
}

And use it this way:

<div class="col-md-12 property-list-box"*ngFor="let contract of contracts | merge:users"  >
  {{contract.id}} 
</div>

use index for next array.

<div class="col-md-12 property-list-box" *ngFor="let contct of contracts; index as i">
  <div>{{contct.id}}</div>
  <div>{{users[i].id}}</div>
</div>

Do these two arrays always have the same number of elements? If so you can iterate over one of them, and keep track of index 

<div class="col-md-12 property-list-box" *ngFor="let contract of contracts ; let i = index">
  <div>{{contracts[i].id}}</div>
  <div>{{users[i].id}}</div>
</div>

If they don't always have the same number of elements you'll need 2 ngFor directives
