The generic HTML outlete from a different post (Angular 2.1.0 create child component on the fly, dynamically) can be used to render templates with custom directives in them.
Don't forget to import a module with all the custom components that you want to render!
export function createComponentFactory(compiler: Compiler, metadata: Component): Promise<ComponentFactory<any>> {const cmpClass = class DynamicComponent {};const decoratedCmp = Component(metadata)(cmpClass);// Import the module with required components here@NgModule({ imports: [CommonModule, RouterModule, SharedModule], declarations: [decoratedCmp] })class DynamicHtmlModule { }return compiler.compileModuleAndAllComponentsAsync(DynamicHtmlModule) .then((moduleWithComponentFactory: ModuleWithComponentFactories<any>) => { return moduleWithComponentFactory.componentFactories.find(x => x.componentType === decoratedCmp); });}
I made tiny changes for using my own components (such as HomeComponent) at @Yurzui and @Linksonder 's solutions.https://plnkr.co/edit/27x0eg?p=preview
It's basically adding AppModule to DynamicHtmlModule as additional import inside of createComponentFactory().
@NgModule({ imports: [AppModule, CommonModule, RouterModule, SharedModule], declarations: [decoratedCmp] })class DynamicHtmlModule { }
And exports our own components at AppModule
@NgModule({ ... exports: [HomeComponent, AboutComponent], ...})export class AppModule { }
