Angular: create dynamic component from service
constructor(
private componentFactoryResolver: ComponentFactoryResolver,
private appRef: ApplicationRef,
private injector: Injector
) { }
appendComponentToBody(component: any) {
// 1. Create a component reference from the component
const componentRef = this.componentFactoryResolver
.resolveComponentFactory(component)
.create(this.injector);
// 2. Attach component to the appRef so that it's inside the ng component tree
this.appRef.attachView(componentRef.hostView);
// 3. Get DOM element from component
const domElem = (componentRef.hostView as EmbeddedViewRef<any>)
.rootNodes[0] as HTMLElement;
// 4. Append DOM element to the body
document.body.appendChild(domElem);
// 5. Wait some time and remove it from the component tree and from the DOM
setTimeout(() => {
this.appRef.detachView(componentRef.hostView);
componentRef.destroy();
}, 3000);
