I have a unordered <ul> list element that I want to add items to from my Javascript. Just small, simple snippets such as <li>Label: Text</li>.
I could use the ViewContainerRef.createComponent(ItemComponent) and create a new component for a list item, but I feel that is so overkill when I just want to insert such a simple snippet of HTML to the DOM.
What's the best way to add these type of simple, short HTML snippets to the DOM when it does not require a full component?
myHtml = '<li>Label: Text>/li>
<div [innerHTML]="myHtml">
the added myHtml string won't be processed by Angular in any way (no bindings, no components, directives, ...)

You don't need Angular to do this.
function addItem() {
document.getElementById("list").innerHTML += "<li>Item 3</li>";
}<ul id="list">
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
</ul>
<button onclick="addItem()">Add item</button>
document in Angular?
document is a native feature of JavaScript. As far as I know, Angular integrates with JavaScript. Also, the question is tagged JavaScript.
