Answer 1

Just in case anyone stumbles across this question like me. It is possible without maintaining a registry.

Full credit goes to yurzui for his solution.

Just a copy from there:

import { Type } from '@angular/core';

@Input() comp: string;
...
const factories = Array.from(this.resolver['_factories'].keys());
const factoryClass = >factories.find((x: any) => x.name === this.comp);
const factory = this.resolver.resolveComponentFactory(factoryClass);
const compRef = this.vcRef.createComponent(factory);
