Ability to pass data to a ComponentPortal

[EdricChan03]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

I'm trying to pass data to a portal (I'm using ComponentPortal), but so far, there's no possible way to do so.

What is the expected behavior?

Able to pass data to a ComponentPortal

What is the current behavior?

Can't pass data to a ComponentPortal

What are the steps to reproduce?

Providing a StackBlitz/Plunker (or similar) is the best way to get the team to see your issue.

Plunker starter (using on @master): https://goo.gl/uDmqyY

StackBlitz starter (using latest npm release): https://goo.gl/wwnhMV

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

I want to show a code snippet with a param passed in as part of the code snippet.

Something like this:

<code-viewer language="html">
&lt;mat-icon svgIcon="{{selectedIcon}}"&gt;&lt;/mat-icon&gt;
</code-viewer>

export class CodeSnippetComponent {
    selectedIcon: string; // <- How to declare this?
}

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?

Angular v5.0.1
Angular Material v5.0.0-rc.0
Typescript 2.4.2
macOS High Sierra 10.13.1
Google Chrome Version 63.0.3239.30 (Official Build) beta (64-bit)

Is there anything else we should know?

I think you can inject this data by using Injector

@atishin Errr... How do you inject data?

Closing as this is already supported.

You can pass data into a ComponentPortal using the injector. An example of this can be seen in the dialog here using the injector that is created here

@josephperrott My ComponentPortal seems unable to resolve some dependencies of root provided services. What's required to inject Services next to the injected Data? thanks!

None of the links are working. Struggling with this issue. Please show us how to pass data in a manageable way

@josephperrott is there a way to simply pass @input data using ComponentPortal?
