Opening Angular Components with MatDialog Through Dynamic Imports

Angular provides a robust way to manage components and services in web applications. However, developers sometimes face challenges when trying to open a component dynamically using MatDialog. One common scenario arises when working with larger components that are used infrequently, leading to a need for import optimization. If you're encountering issues related to accessing MatDialogRef after a dynamic import, you're not alone. This guide will guide you through resolving this problem effectively.

The Problem: Accessing MatDialogRef After Dynamic Import

In Angular, using MatDialog to open components is a typical practice. However, dynamically importing a component can lead to complications—most notably, the inability to access MatDialogRef. This issue often surfaces when developers have a large component that they only need occasionally, resulting in an error like this:

This error indicates that the Angular injector is unable to find a provider for MatDialogRef, which is critical for dialog operations. If you're using Angular version 16 or later, this situation can be particularly perplexing. Let's explore a solution that can help you overcome this challenge.

The Solution: Properly Create Injectors for Dynamic Components

To resolve the issue, you need to ensure that the dynamic component you are loading has access to the correct injector, which should include the necessary providers. Below are the organized steps for how to correctly implement the solution.

Steps to Implement

Import the Required Modules: Ensure you import createNgModule, Injector, and other relevant modules from Angular core.

Create the NgModule Reference: When you dynamically load your component’s module, create a new NgModule reference using createNgModule.

Define a Dynamic Component Injector: Use the Injector.create method to define a new injector that will include any providers needed by the component.

Create and Open the Component: Finally, use the newly created injector to instantiate the component and open it with the MatDialog.

Example Code

Here’s a practical example that implements the solution:

A Key Consideration

Make sure you pass any necessary providers that the component may need into the Injector.create method. This ensures that all dependencies are resolved correctly when the dynamically loaded component is instantiated.

Conclusion

Dynamically importing components in Angular can streamline your app's performance, especially when dealing with large functionalities. However, it’s crucial to properly manage your injectors to prevent issues with accessing components such as MatDialogRef. By following the steps outlined above, you should be able to successfully open your components using MatDialog while maintaining access to essential services.
