Angular 6 and Sharepoint SPFX

Question

Just wondering if anyone has any samples or links to instructions for running an angular 6 app on Sharepoint SPFX.

I have followed this example for Angular 5 but it will not work once I upgrade the angular dependencies

The error I get on the SPFX workbench when I try to add the webpart is

    [SPLoaderError.loadComponentError]:
***Failed to load component "a884f6f5-e74c-4932-972f-0e1431147413" (AppWebPart).
Original error: ***loadComponent() returned an empty object for component "a884f6f5-e74c-4932-972f-0e1431147413" (AppWebPart).

***INNERERROR:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you Damien

I managed to make it work running an Angular solution independently and launching the app from Angular Custom Elements like this:

export class AppModule {
 constructor(private injector: Injector) {   }

 ngDoBootstrap(appRef: ApplicationRef) {
     if (!customElements.get('app-root')) {
     const helloElement = createCustomElement(AppComponent, { injector: this.injector });
     customElements.define('app-root', helloElement);
   }
 }

And my git repo: https://github.com/clementlepere/SPFX-AngularElements

It is still very WIP and I faced some encoding issue when running the build script (fixed using an encoding converter like notepad++ before running gulp serve)
