IMPORTANT

Make sure Ivy is disabled in the tsconfig.json:

"angularCompilerOptions": {
  "enableIvy": false
}

Make sure AOT is disabled in the angular.json:

{ 
    "architect": {
        "build": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",
          "options": {
            "outputPath": "dist/workspace",
            "index": "src/index.html",
            "main": "src/main.ts",
            "polyfills": "src/polyfills.ts",
            "tsConfig": "tsconfig.app.json",
            
            // make sure it is false
            "aot": false,
            "assets": [
              "src/favicon.ico",
              "src/assets"
            ],
            "styles": [
              "src/styles.scss"
            ],
            "scripts": []
          }
    }
}

When you work with P3X Angular Compile, you have to disable AOT as well, so like this:

ng serve --aot=false

Usage

import { CompileModule} from "p3x-angular-compile"

// the module settings
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        CorifeusWebMaterialModule, // Optional
        CompileModule, // Required
    ],
    declarations: [
        Page,
    ],
    providers: [
    ],
    bootstrap: [ Page ]
})
export class Module { };

Template

 <span 
 
 <!--- Not required -->
 *ngIf="isEnabled" 

 <!--- Required -->
 [p3x-compile]="template"

 <!--- Required -->
 [p3x-compile-ctx]="this"

 <!--- Not required, will just throw the component's exception if not provided -->
 [p3x-compile-error-handler]="handleCompileErrorHandler"

 <!--- Not required -->
 [p3x-compile-module]="dataModule"
 >     
</span>

Code

// A page example
export class Page {
    
    isEnabled: boolean = true;
    
    dataModule : any =  {
        //schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA],
        //declarations: [],
        imports: [
            MatButtonModule
        ],
        exports: [       
        ]
    }

    template: string = "<button mat-button mat-raised-button (click)="context.alert()">Dynamic template</button>";

    handleCompileErrorHandler(error: Error) {
        console.error(error)
    }

    alert() {
        alert('ok');
    }
}

Errors

Type x is part of the declarations of 2 modules

Basically, you need a shared component.

AOT + JIT

Since Angular 5.x.x +

We cannot use AOT + JIT at once.

On the issue, you can see:

To reduce the payload, we do not ship the compiler in AOT.

So right now, it is not possible.

Although, there are some hacks, but you are on your own...

Size

If you want very small bundle, use gzip.
