Current behavior

entryComponents are not documented on the NgModules page.

Expected behavior

entryComponents should be documented.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

What are they? What is their purpose?

This would be nice, since entryComponents are used by cdk overlay.

I did find documentation about them under the FAQs.

Also interesting, googling 'angular.io entrycomponents' doesn't seem to find anything on angular.io.

Thank you, @spottedmahn and @Doehl. Documentation on entryComponents is forthcoming in 20306. You can see the new file dedicated to entryComponents here. The PR has a few details that still need working out, but maybe this will help with any questions in the meantime.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @spottedmahn and @Doehl there's a new page dedicated to entryComponents! Entry Components. I'll close this issue, but if you still have outstanding questions, please feel free to let me know. And if you see room for improvement in this new doc, I'm very interested in feedback.

[spottedmahn]

Awesome, thanks @kapunahelewong
