Compile angular2+ component to dynamically created DOM element

Question

I have a 3rd party library which dynamically creates a DOM element, I need to compile a component and insert it to the created DOM element.

I'm using component factory resolver and i know i can insert it to ViewContainerRef, but i'm not sure how to insert to plain DOM element created by outside angular lib.

onDynamicDomCreate: (e: GridChangeEvent) => {
            let factory = this.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(UserDetailsComponent);
            e.sender.element.createComponent(factory); // <--- how to properly create component here?
        }

You need to pass a DOM element when creating a component like this:

let factory = this.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(UserDetailsComponent);
const compRef = factory.create(injector, [], e.sender.element);

And also register the created view in the ApplicationRef, otherwise you won't have change detection for the component: appRef.attachView(compRef.hostView);
