@Optional

This is the documentation for Angular 6.
You can switch to the latest version Angular 10.

A constructor parameter decorator that marks a dependency as optional.

constructor(@Optional() service: Service) {}

Example

The DI framework provides null if the dependency is not found. For example, the following code allows the possibility of a null result:

class Engine {}

@Injectable()
class Car {
  constructor(@Optional() public engine: Engine) {}
}

const injector = ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate([Car]);
expect(injector.get(Car).engine).toBeNull();
