Need "exportAs" in PrimeNG's Angular Directives

[webmatth]

Hi, is it possible to add the "exportAs" parameter in pTooltip and other directives?
like so:
@Directive({ selector: '[pTooltip]', host: { class: 'p-element' }, exportAs: 'pTooltip' <--- })

Hi,

Why should we add it? I didn't get the point. Users can use tooltips as [pTooltip] and pTooltip.

Hi Çetin,
that would allow us to call methods from the pTooltip instance in the template

<a pTooltip="I'm a tooltip!!" #tooltip="pTooltip">I'm a link</a>
<button (click)="tooltip.show()">show tooltip</button>

without 'exportAs', #tooltip would be seen as an HTMLAnchorElement

Thanks for the explanation, we'll discuss it.

Hello @cetincakiroglu, any updates?

In my case, I would like to reference the pEditableRow directive, but this is not possible because of the lack of exportAs.
