@Output from dynamically created Component in Angular 6

In my angular 6 project, I have a dynamically created component like below:

@Component({
    selector: 'app-staff-dash',
    template: `
    <template #tasksContainer></template>
`
})

export class StaffDashComponent implements OnInit {

    componentRef: any;
    factory: any;
    @ViewChild('tasksContainer', { read: ViewContainerRef }) tasksEntry: ViewContainerRef;


    constructor(
        @Inject(ComponentFactoryResolver) private resolver: ComponentFactoryResolver
    ) {

    }

    ngOnInit() {
        this.createTasksComponent();
    }


    createTasksComponent(): void {
        this.tasksEntry.clear();
        this.factory = this.resolver.resolveComponentFactory(TasksComponent);
        this.componentRef = this.tasksEntry.createComponent(this.factory);
    }
}

StaffDashComponent is the parent and TasksComponent is the child. Now I want some data to be passed from TasksComponent to StaffDashComponent using @Output. How can I achieve that?

For angular13+, you'd better do as this

componentRef.instance.delEvent.subscribe(
      value=>this.delOneItem(value)
    )

this is for child @Output() delEvent: EventEmitter=new EventEmitter();

For dynamically created child component, You have to subscribe to output event within the parent component.

parent.comp

createTasksComponent(): void {
        this.tasksEntry.clear();
        this.factory = this.resolver.resolveComponentFactory(TasksComponent);
        this.componentRef = this.tasksEntry.createComponent(this.factory);
        //subscribe to child output event
        this.componentRef.instance.outputEvent.subscribe(val => console.log(val));
}

child comp

@Output() outputEvent : EventEmitter<boolean> = new EventEmitter<boolean>(); 
someFunc() {
      this.outputEvent.emit(true)
}
