Docs state to update as follows, but does not mention what to do

📚 Docs or angular.io bug report

Description

On the page Adding Navigation, there is a section where we need to update the products by adding a productId. The statement reads, and I quote:

Update the *ngFor directive to read as follows. This statement instructs Angular to iterate over the items in the products array and assigns each index in the array to the productId variable when iterating over the list.

But there is nothing below that actually does this. Was this intentional? If it was, maybe rephrase the sentence to mean that you need to do it.

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

What's the affected URL?**

https://angular.io/start/start-routing

Expected vs Actual Behavior**

I expected a code stub that succeded this statement, indicating that this is what you need to do, as a newbie 😅 .

Anything else relevant?

If this is an easy fix, maybe I myself can try this out. Thanks.

@ShubhankarKG The steps 3-5 are all referring to the code block that you see after step 5.

[ShubhankarKG]

Oh, thanks. Then the statement :

and assigns each index in the array to the productId variable when iterating over the list.

is misleading, don't you think so? Since the previous tutorial did not have the id attribute at all.

[sonukapoor]

Yes. That is misleading, as there is no usage of the productId in the code section.

[ShubhankarKG]

Thanks! Then I guess that we can add that to the starter code itself. That'll eliminate this inconsistency I think.

If it's not too much of a bother, could you let me know where this code resides so that I can make a quick fix?

Thanks!

Sure, it's right here:

Thx for reporting this, @ShubhankarKG!
I am going to close this as a duplicate of #40189. (It will be fixed by #40197.)
