How to compile html in angular 2?

I started to learn angular 2 and want to get things right with unit test. So I want all my directives/components to write with tests.

In angularJS (first version) to test directive You use $compile. Here's example from doc:

  it('Replaces the element with the appropriate content', function() {
    var element = $compile("<a-great-eye></a-great-eye>")($rootScope);
    $rootScope.$digest();
    expect(element.html()).toContain("lidless, wreathed in flame, 2 times");
  });

How to compile html text in angular 2 to write a test?

I want to test simpliest direcive:

import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
@Component({
  selector: 'email',
  template: `Hello Email`
})
export class EmailComponent {
}

Use TestComponentBuilder like shown in this example from https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/9e44dd85ada181b11be869841da2c157b095ee07/modules/angular2/test/common/directives/ng_for_spec.ts

it('should reflect added elements',
       inject([TestComponentBuilder, AsyncTestCompleter], (tcb: TestComponentBuilder, async) => {
         tcb.overrideTemplate(TestComponent, TEMPLATE)
             .createAsync(TestComponent)
             .then((fixture) => {
               fixture.detectChanges();

               (<number[]>fixture.debugElement.componentInstance.items).push(3);
               fixture.detectChanges();

               expect(fixture.debugElement.nativeElement).toHaveText('1;2;3;');
               async.done();
             });
       }));
