I was able to successfully create a button that on click loads another instance of my component into the DOM, but it loads it outside the component I want it to be inside which results with the CSS being off. When I add "editorComponents" to my page it currently looks like this:
But I want it to look like this:
You can see from the inspection that in the second example all of the tags are manually moved to where I want them to be.
Right now my code is as follows:
home.component.html
<div class="row backgroundContainer">
<div class="col-md-7 componentContainer">
<app-editor></app-editor>
<button (click)="addEditor()" type="button">Add Editor</button>
</div>
<div class="col-md-5 componentContainer">
<app-bible></app-bible>
</div>
<div id="footerBox">
<app-footer></app-footer>
</div>
</div>
home.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit, ViewContainerRef, ComponentFactoryResolver } from '@angular/core';
import { EditorComponent } from '../editor/editor.component';
@Component({
selector: 'app-home',
templateUrl: './home.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./home.component.scss']
})
export class HomeComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(private componentFactoryResolver: ComponentFactoryResolver,
private viewContainerRef: ViewContainerRef) {}
ngOnInit() {
}
addEditor() {
const factory = this.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(EditorComponent);
const ref = this.viewContainerRef.createComponent(factory);
ref.changeDetectorRef.detectChanges();
}
}
So how do I make it so when I dynamically add an EditorComponent to my page it is added directly below the current "app-editor" in my html?
