ngTemplateRef cause the issue if visible = false

[belics99]

:beetle: bug report

In case we use ngTemplateRef, but we set visible to false we get the next error: ERROR TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'tagName')

So this blocks rendering the table and the table is stuck on a loading screen,

:microscope: Minimal Reproduction

TS:

{ 
            data: 'some_string', 
            visible: false, 
            name: 'some_string',
            defaultContent: '',
            ngTemplateRef: {ref: this.someCellRef},
            title: 'some_title'
},

HTML:

<ng-template #someCellRef let-data="adtData" let-emitter="captureEvents">
  <app-some-component [data]="data" (emitter)="emitter($event)"></app-some-component>
</ng-template>

:memo: Additional context

SOLUTION (that works for me):

{ 
            data: 'some_string', 
            visible: isVisible, 
            name: 'some_string',
            defaultContent: '',
            ngTemplateRef: isVisible? {ref: this.someCellRef}: undefined,
            title: 'some_title'
},
