data binding - Angular 2 modals shared between components

Question

I have a typical Angular 2 app with many components.
I installed this modal component: https://github.com/pleerock/ng2-modal.
Is there a way to share the same modals between more components? I explain better. I would like the same modal should open on click of different buttons inside different components. Is it possible?

I tried this kind of approach https://plnkr.co/edit/RgI1e9PobC7FloLHpEFD?p=preview but it's not the right way, because it always adds content to the modal.

I post it here below my app.ts file:

Following @echonax suggestion, I updated my plunk:

//our root app component
import {
  NgModule, 
  ComponentRef, 
  Injectable, 
  Component, 
  Injector, 
  ViewContainerRef, 
  ViewChild, ComponentFactoryResolver} from "@angular/core";
import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser'
import {Subject} from 'rxjs/Subject';

@Injectable()
export class SharedService {
  showModal:Subject<any> = new Subject();
}


@Component({
  selector: 'child-component',
  template: `
      <button (click)="showDialog()">show modal from child</button>
  `,
})
export class ChildComponent {
  constructor(private sharedService:SharedService) {}

  showDialog() {
    this.sharedService.showModal.next(CompComponent);
  }

}


@Component({
  selector: 'comp-comp',
  template: `MyComponent`
})
export class CompComponent { }


@Component({
  selector: 'modal-comp',
  template: `
  <div class="modal fade" id="theModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="theModalLabel">
    <div class="modal-dialog largeWidth" role="document">
      <div class="modal-content">
        <div class="modal-header">
        <h4 class="modal-title" id="theModalLabel">The Label</h4></div>
        <div class="modal-body" #theBody>
      </div>
    <div class="modal-footer">
    <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal" (close)="close()">Close</button>
  </div></div></div></div>
`
})
export class ModalComponent {
  @ViewChild('theBody', {read: ViewContainerRef}) theBody;

  cmp:ComponentRef<any>;
  cmpRef:ComponentRef<any>;

  constructor(
    sharedService:SharedService, 
    private componentFactoryResolver: ComponentFactoryResolver, 
    injector: Injector) {

    sharedService.showModal.subscribe(type => {
      if(this.cmp) {
        this.cmp.destroy();
      }
      let factory = this.componentFactoryResolver.resolveComponentFactory(type);
      this.cmpRef = this.theBody.createComponent(factory)
      $('#theModal').modal('show');
    });
  }

  close() {
    if(this.cmp) {
      this.cmp.destroy();
    }
    this.cmp = null;
  }
}

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `
    <div>
      <h2>Hello</h2>
      <button (click)="showDialog()">show modal</button>
      <child-component></child-component>
    </div>
  `,
})
export class App {
  constructor(private sharedService:SharedService) {}

  showDialog() {
    this.sharedService.showModal.next(CompComponent);
  }

}

@NgModule({
  imports: [ BrowserModule ],
  declarations: [ App, ModalComponent, CompComponent, ChildComponent],
  providers: [SharedService],
  entryComponents: [CompComponent],
  bootstrap: [ App, ModalComponent ]
})
export class AppModule{}

Stay tuned!

That plunker's original version is my question actually: How to dynamically create bootstrap modals as Angular2 components?

@Günter made an amazing answer which I think is really underrated.

The plunker has a small mistake, you can find the fixed version here: https://plnkr.co/edit/oMCZIJq58WdLgYf2D0Di?p=preview

The if cases are referencing the wrong field, so change

if(this.cmp) {
    this.cmp.destroy();
}

with

if(this.cmpRef) {
    this.cmpRef.destroy();
}
