How would you insert an embedded ...

To insert an embedded view from a prepared TemplateRef in Angular, you would typically follow these steps:

1. Obtain a Reference to TemplateRef: First, you need to have a TemplateRef instance that represents the template you want to render. This is usually obtained using Angular's ViewChild decorator to access the template within your component's class. For example:

   typescript Copy

   @ViewChild('templateRef', { static: true, read: TemplateRef })
   private templateRef: TemplateRef<any>;

   Here, templateRef is a template reference variable defined in your component's template.

2. Access ViewContainerRef: Next, you need a ViewContainerRef to define the location in the view where the template will be rendered. This can also be obtained using the ViewChild decorator:

   typescript Copy

   @ViewChild('viewContainerRef', { read: ViewContainerRef })
   private viewContainerRef: ViewContainerRef;

   viewContainerRef is typically a reference to an ng-container or any other container element in your component's template.

3. Create and Insert the Embedded View: With both TemplateRef and ViewContainerRef available, you can now create an embedded view and insert it into the view container using the createEmbeddedView method:

   typescript Copy

   this.viewContainerRef.createEmbeddedView(this.templateRef);

   This method instantiates the template referenced by TemplateRef and inserts the resulting view into the container specified by ViewContainerRef.

Example

Here's a complete example of how you might set up your component:

import { Component, ViewChild, TemplateRef, ViewContainerRef } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-example',
  template: `
    <ng-template #templateRef>
      <p>Hello, Embedded View!</p>
    </ng-template>
    <ng-container #viewContainerRef></ng-container>
  `
})
export class ExampleComponent {
 ...
