Component as Injectable?

I am trying to build my own Modal component, that I would be able to reuse throughout my Angular2 Apps. I am considering different approaches, and I am wondering if it is possible to create @Component that also serves as @Injectable? I am considering this, as I want to build a template for the Modal, and keep it in one place.

Thanks

Can @component be injected?

A component is injectable by default @Component() (or @Directive() ) includes @Injectable() . Don't expect to get a specific instance of a component injected. This works for example with constructor(@Host() private parentComponent) where DI lookup is limited to parent injectors up to the injector of the host element.

Can a component be injectable in Angular?

Angular provides the ability for you to inject a service into a component to give that component access to the service. The @Injectable() decorator defines a class as a service in Angular and allows Angular to inject it into a component as a dependency.

What is injectable?

@Injectable is a decorator in Angular framework, it allows the service to be injected in Components or other service. Angular build on Dependency injection. 0.

Why is injectable used?

@Injectable() lets Angular know that a class can be used with the dependency injector. @Injectable() is not strictly required if the class has other Angular decorators on it or does not have any dependencies. What is important is that any class that is going to be injected with Angular is decorated.

Normally for your use case DynamicComponentLoader is used which only accepts the type of a component, not an instance. Dependency injection would just create an instance of the components class but not for example the associated view.
