There is projectableNodes parameter for vcRef.createComponent method

createComponent<C>(componentFactory: ComponentFactory<C>, index?: number, injector?: Injector, projectableNodes?: any[][], ngModule?: NgModuleRef<any>): ComponentRef<C>; 

You can use it to dynamically inject one component in another.

Let say we have the following component

@Component({ selector: 'card', template: ` <div class="card__top"> <h2>Creating a angular2 component with ng-content dynamically</h2> </div> <div class="card__body"> <ng-content></ng-content> </div> <div class="card__bottom"> <ng-content></ng-content> </div> ` }) export class CardComponent {} 

We want to create it dynamically and insert some controls to its ng-content locations. It could be done like follows:

const bodyFactory = this.cfr.resolveComponentFactory(CardBodyComponent); const footerFactory = this.cfr.resolveComponentFactory(CardFooterComponent); let bodyRef = this.vcRef.createComponent(bodyFactory); let footerRef = this.vcRef.createComponent(footerFactory); const cardFactory = this.cfr.resolveComponentFactory(CardComponent); const cardRef = this.vcRef.createComponent( cardFactory, 0, undefined, [ [bodyRef.location.nativeElement], [footerRef.location.nativeElement] ] );

You can use it to dynamically inject one component into another.

Let's say we have the following component

@Component({ selector: 'card', template: ` <div class="card__top"> <h2>Creating a angular2 component with ng-content dynamically</h2> </div> <div class="card__body"> <ng-content></ng-content> </div> <div class="card__bottom"> <ng-content></ng-content> </div> ` }) export class CardComponent {}
