Setting up a host for a directive with providers

[Dyljyn]

Problem

I have a use case where a directive makes use of a service.
However, I can not figure out how to set this up with createHostComponentFactory.

I've used AppUnlessDirective from the Angular docs as an example.

const createHost = createHostComponentFactory({
  component: AppUnlessDirective,
  providers: [AppUnlessService]
});

Giving the following error (because it's a directive and not a component?)

TypeError: Cannot read property 'componentInstance' of null

I see where is the problem, let me investigate.

It's not related to the service, it's related to the structural directive.

Fixed in 1.4.4
