Angular 2: Load component dynamically with parameters @Input and @Output

Question

Currently I'm loading some of my components dynamically with this piece of code.

export class ComponentOutlet {

    constructor(
        private vcRef: ViewContainerRef,
        private compiler: Compiler,
        private dataService: DataService
    ) { }

    private _createDynamicComponent() {

        // Some logic to decide which component should be loaded
        return MyComponent;
    }


    ngOnChanges() {

        this.compiler.compileComponentAsync(this._createDynamicComponent())
            .then(factory => {
                const injector = ReflectiveInjector.fromResolvedProviders([], this.vcRef.parentInjector);
                this.vcRef.clear();
                this.vcRef.createComponent(factory, 0, injector);
            });
    }

The problem is that MyComponent has some @Input and Output bindings. Is it possible to set this bindings here? How can I achieve that?

Answer 1

Bindings to inputs and outputs can only be used to components that are statically added to another components template.

In your case you can do it imperatively like

 var cmpRef = this.vcRef.createComponent(factory, 0, injector);
 cmpRef.instance.someInput = value;
 cmpRef.instance.someOutput.subscribe(data => this.data = data);
