NgComponentOutlet is an Angular directive that allows you to dynamically instantiate a component based on a variable passed to it. This can be extremely useful when you need to render different components based on certain conditions or user inputs. In this tutorial, we will go over how to use NgComponentOutlet in Angular in just 60 seconds.
To start using NgComponentOutlet, you first need to import the CommonModule from @angular/common in your AppModule or any other module where you plan to use the directive. You will also need to import NgComponentOutlet from @angular/common in the same module.
Next, in your component HTML file, add the NgComponentOutlet directive and pass the name of the component you want to instantiate as a variable. For example:
<ng-container *ngComponentOutlet="dynamicComponent"></ng-container>
In your component TypeScript file, define the dynamicComponent variable and assign it the component you want to render dynamically. For example:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { DynamicComponent } from './dynamic.component';
@Component({
selector: 'app-component',
template: ``
})
export class AppComponent {
dynamicComponent = DynamicComponent;
}
Lastly, make sure to create the DynamicComponent that will be rendered dynamically. You can define this component just like any other Angular component.
And that’s it! You should now have a dynamically rendered component using NgComponentOutlet in Angular. This can be a powerful tool for building flexible and dynamic applications.

how does it differ from ngIf?
