I need to be able to add & remove angular 2 components on the fly. To do so, I'm using loadIntoLocation and dispose methods, like it:
Adding a component (from a layout manager):
this.m_loader.loadIntoLocation(MyComponent, this.m_element, 'content').then(_componentRef => {
// Create the window and set its title:
var component: MyComponent = (_componentRef.instance);
component.ref = _componentRef;
// init the component content
});
Removing a component (from the component):
this.ref.dispose();
It is nearly working: - if I add a component, and close it, it works - if I add several components, they work - but if I add component A, then remove it, then add component B, it seems like Angular gives me a reference to A, and keeps some old values (my components are draggable, and in this case the B will be created A was when I destroyed it)
Is there a way to make Angular destroy components properly, or at least to force it to create fresh ones?
