How to load dynamic HTML into DIV with component? Angular5
As commented by @Devcon
Angular will sanitize pretty much everything so that is why you are getting plain text. What you want to look into is ReflectiveInjector and mainly ComponentFactoryResolver. The main idea is that components need some other info(services, other components, etc) to be rendered, so you use the Injector to get Dependency Injection refs then the Component factory builds your component. You then insert this to a ViewChild reference. There is a more complicated way of dynamically making components that uses the compiler and requires a ModuleWithComponentFactories, this is what angular actually uses.
And searching on the angular, I accept that angular should not be done this way.
As I have to create the fully dynamic page which must be rendered in html. I changed my json little bit and using the ng-container and ng-template and using ngswitch I made recursive call in the template it self and found its working very fine.
I get many advantages using this: The HTML (I render dynamically) itself is in HTML, Code is clean and readable, easily maitainable.
The example given here is pretty much the same I have done. https://stackoverflow.com/a/40530244/2630817
A small example is here:
<ng-template #itemsList let-itemsList>
<div *ngFor="let item of itemsList;let i = index">
<div [ngSwitch]="item.itemType">
<div class="form-group" *ngSwitchCase="'TEXT'">
<label>
{{item.label}}
</label>
<input id="{{item.name}}" value="{{item.value}}" type='text' class='form-control txtbox ui-autocomplete-input'/>
</div>
<div class="form-group" *ngSwitchCase="'PASSWORD'">
<label>
{{item.label}}
</label>
<input id="{{item.name}}" value="{{item.value}}" type='password' class='form-control txtbox ui-autocomplete-input'/>
</div>
<div class="form-group" *ngSwitchCase="'BOOLEAN'">
<label style='width:40%'>{{item.label}}</label>
<div class="form-group"><input id="{{item.name}}" type='checkbox' /></div>
</div>
<div class="form-group" *ngSwitchCase="'LABEL'">
<label class="form-control">{{item.label}}</label>
</div>
<div class="form-group" *ngSwitchDefault>
<label>
{{item.label}}
</label>
<select2 class="form-control" [data]="GetDropDowndata(item.holderId)" [cssImport]="false" [width]="300" [options]="GetOptions(item.type)"></select2>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You can load every you want in one div, you have to play with ng-template and ng-content.
First you have to create one directive:
import {Directive, ViewContainerRef} from '@angular/core';
@Directive({
selector: '[dynamic]',
exportAs: 'dynamicdirective'
})
export class DynamicDirective {
constructor(public viewContainerRef: ViewContainerRef) { }
}
After you have to put it in some ng-template like:
<p>
page works!
</p>
<ng-template #sider=dynamicdirective dynamic></ng-template>
and use it like
import {Component, ComponentFactoryResolver, OnInit, ViewChild} from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-page',
templateUrl: './page.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./page.component.css']
})
export class PageComponent implements OnInit {
@ViewChild('sider')
sider;
constructor(private componentFactoryResolver: ComponentFactoryResolver) {
}
ngOnInit() {
const componentFactory = this.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(SomeComponent);
this.sider.viewContainerRef.createComponent(componentFactory);
});
}
}
and normally will see you component loaded at the place of you ng-template (you can call https://angular.io/api/core/ViewContainerRef#clear if you want to reset your view)
I already play with this, you can find some code here https://github.com/nicearma/dynamic
