/**
 * Creates and inserts an embedded view based on a prepared `TemplateRef`.
 * You can attach a context object to the `EmbeddedViewRef` by setting `[ngOutletContext]`.
 * `[ngOutletContext]` should be an object, the object's keys will be the local template variables
 * available within the `TemplateRef`.
 *
 * Note: using the key `$implicit` in the context object will set it's value as default.
 *
 * ### Syntax
 *
 * ```
 * <template [ngTemplateOutlet]="templateRefExpression"
 *           [ngOutletContext]="objectExpression">
 * </template>
 * ```
