AngularJS How to dynamically add HTML and bind to controller

I would use the built-in ngInclude directive. In the example below, you don’t even need to write any javascript. The templates can just as easily live at a remote url.

Here’s a working demo: http://plnkr.co/edit/5ImqWj65YllaCYD5kX5E?p=preview

<p>Select page content template via dropdown</p>
<select ng-model="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19845950/template">
    <option value="page1">Page 1</option>
    <option value="page2">Page 2</option>
</select>

<p>Set page content template via button click</p>
<button ng-click="template="page2"">Show Page 2 Content</button>

<ng-include src="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19845950/template"></ng-include>

<script type="text/ng-template" id="page1">
    <h1 style="color: blue;">This is the page 1 content</h1>
</script>

<script type="text/ng-template" id="page2">
    <h1 style="color:green;">This is the page 2 content</h1>
</script>
