ng2 - dynamically creating a component based on a template

Question

I\'ve been looking at the Angular 2 APIs for ComponentResolver and DynamicComponentResolver for creating dynamic components, but I have something d

Answer 1

Update2:

As @estus mentioned in comments version with className won't work with minification. To do it working with minification you can

1) add some static key on each of your entryComponents like:

export LineChartComponent {
  static key = "LineChartComponent";
}

and then use this key as unique.

const factoryClass = >factories.find((x: any) => x.key === compClassKey);

2) create a dictionary like

export const entryComponentsMap = {
  'comp1': Component1,
  'comp2': Component2,
  'comp3': Component3
};

and then

const factory = this.resolver.resolveComponentFactory(entryComponentsMap.comp1);

Update1:

Here's version from component`s class name

const factories = Array.from(this.resolver['_factories'].keys());
const factoryClass = >factories.find((x: any) => x.name === compClassName);
const factory = this.resolver.resolveComponentFactory(factoryClass);

Old version

You can get factory by component selector but you have to use private property.

It might look something like:

const factories = Array.from(this.resolver['_factories'].values());
const factory = factories.find((x: any) => x.selector === selector);
