Angular Dynamically loaded Feature Modules and Routing

[Drunkard]

I’m working on an Angular plugin solution where the plugin is loaded and the component is rendered in a router-outlet. Specifically, the plugin uses SystemJs to dynamically load from the Eggshell as follows:

loadPlugin(pluginName: string) {
    this.pluginLoader.load(pluginName).then(moduleFactory => {
      const moduleRef = moduleFactory.create(this.injector);
      const entryComponent = (moduleFactory.moduleType as any).entry;
      const compFactory = moduleRef.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(
        entryComponent
      );
      this.vcRef.createComponent(compFactory);

      // Debugging of router
      const rootRoutes = this.injector.get(ROUTES);
      const featureRoutes = moduleRef.injector.get(ROUTES);

    });
  }
}

The “Root" router is used to invoke the loadPlugin function, thus placing the ConfigComponent within the Eggshells <router-outlet></router-outlet>. This all works as expected.

The plugin consists of ConfigModule, which contains a feature route as follows:

const routes: Routes = [
  { path: 'widget', component: WidgetComponent }
];

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    ConfigComponent,
    WidgetComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    SharedModule,
    RouterModule.forChild(routes),
  ],
  entryComponents: [
    ConfigComponent,
    WidgetComponent
  ],
  exports: [
    WidgetComponent,
    RouterModule
  ]
})
export class ConfigModule {
  static entry = ConfigComponent;
}

Where the config template contains the following: <router-outlet></router-outlet>

The issue is that the widget route cannot be found, when a routerLink is invoked within the ConfigComponent.

So, I added the feature route to this.router.config (which is the Eggshell), but that gives me the following error:

Uncaught (in promise): Error: No component factory found for n. Did you add it to @NgModule.entryComponents? 

Obviously, the WidgetComponent is an entryComponent and is declared, so not sure, how to register the WidgetComponent since the Eggshell really knows nothing about the Widget.  Any Ideas? are welcomed.
