Angular 4 Portal/CdkPortal not working in new child window


I'm working in an Angular 4 app and I need to show a specific component in a new child window. So I research for a solution (i'm NOT looking for a solution with routing by url 'couse my server always redirec to index with window.open('some URL'), so window.open('') with ataching might be the solution) and I found this stackblitz example StackBlitz Example

in that example, are using CdkPortal . The problem is apparently cdk portal is not in angular 4 (I'm not shure, but this error is showing @angular/cdk/portal"' has no exported member 'CdkPortal')

I just copy and paste the previous example 'couse is exactly what I need, but in my angular version is not working.

Is there some equivalent example for angular 4?

ADITIONAL

in the example, they are using this code fragment to show the window

<window *ngIf="showPortal">
  <h2>Hello world from amother window!!</h2>
  <button (click)="this.showPortal = false">Close me!</button>
</window>

so my question is... is posible to add other component inside the component that I want to atach in the portal? Something like this.

<window *ngIf="showPortal">
  <my-other-component [currentValue]="someValue"></my-other-component>
</window>

If it is posible, Would the component work correctly?


Solution

  • Try this. This will generate a child window without use of CdkPortal.

    I have used generic window.open method to open a new window. also i have used name property of window to get reference of opened window.

    app.component.ts

    import { Component,ComponentFactoryResolver, ViewChild, ViewContainerRef,Injector } from '@angular/core';
    import { DynamicWindowComponent } from './dynamic-window/dynamic-window.component';
    
    
    @Component({
      selector: 'my-app',
      templateUrl: './app.component.html',
      styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ]
    })
    export class AppComponent  {
      injector: Injector;
      OpenWindow : any
    
      constructor(private resolver: ComponentFactoryResolver) { }
    
      open(): void {
        const componentFactory = this.resolver.resolveComponentFactory(DynamicWindowComponent);
        let componentRef  = componentFactory.create(this.injector);
        this.OpenWindow = window.open('', 'childwindow', 'width=400,height=400,left=150,top=200');
        this.OpenWindow.document.body.innerHTML = "";
        this.OpenWindow.document.body.appendChild(componentRef.location.nativeElement);
      }
    
      close(){
        this.OpenWindow.close()
      }
    }
    

    app.component.html

    <button (click)="open()">Dynamically Add Component</button>
    

    dynamic-window.component.ts

    import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
    
    @Component({
      selector: 'app-dynamic-window',
      templateUrl: './dynamic-window.component.html',
      styleUrls: ['./dynamic-window.component.css']
    })
    export class DynamicWindowComponent{
      close(){
        // get refence of child window by its name and close it
        let existingWin = window.open('', 'childwindow');
        existingWin.close();
      }
    }
    

    dynamic-window.component.html

    <p>Dynamic Component</p>
     <button (click)="close()">Close me!</button>
