adding angular component dynamically to new html element

Question

I have read about ViewContainerRef, ComponentFactoryResolver.

Basically:

1. put tag in your html

2. declare the following in your ts: @ViewChild('parent', { read: ViewContainerRef }) parent: ViewContainerRef;

3. instantiate your component using: const childComponent = this.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(ChildComponent ); this.parent.createComponent(childComponent);

However, it does not work on already exist in your html on your page load.

The problem is I am using a popup that is generated using google map api (the popup where it appears when you click somewhere on the map).

I need to put div parent tag after the popup appears

var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
      // content: this.contentString
      content: " <div #parent></div>"
    });

Therefore I tried to bind it into onclick event on the popup as the following:

  marker.addListener('click', () => {
        infowindow.open(this.map, marker);
        const childComponent = this.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(CentreDetailsComponent);
        this.parent.createComponent(childComponent);
      });

However, it does not work as per the screenshot. Is it because of the div parent tag is not generated on page load? can someone please assist? Thx

The best Solution is. You just go for AgmCore

npm install --save @agm/core

for that you need to add core module in your ngModule like :

import { AgmCoreModule } from '@agm/core';
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        AgmCoreModule.forRoot({
            apiKey: 'api_key_googlemap'
          })
    ]})

and your html view file will looks like

 <div  style="height: 700px; width: 100%;">
    <agm-map [latitude]="32.02" [longitude]="52.2" [zoom]="17">
        <agm-marker   [latitude]="52.2" [longitude]="32.02"   title="Name" >
           <agm-info-window  [isOpen]="true"  >
              <h6>Name</h6>
           </agm-info-window>                                                   
         </agm-marker>                
       </agm-map>
</div>

if you want click function in marker

<agm-marker (markerClick)="yourClickFunction()"></agm-marker>

Hope this will resolve your problem.
