How to create an Angular JS Material Element via a JavaScript Function?

Question

Problem: I have created a webpage with an md-card that has a button. Upon clicking that button, I want another card to appear. The Problem: I cannot figure out, how to make the button of the new card work. It is not correctly formated and it has no functionality.

Question: What do I need to change the code to, to make it work? Thanks.

Code: This is my JavaScript-Code:

angular.module('MyApp', ['ngMaterial', 'ngMessages', 'material.svgAssetsCache'])
    .controller('AppCtrl', function($scope, $mdDialog) {

    function addMeinElement () { 
                                // create a new div element 
                                var newDiv = document.createElement("md-card");
                                document.querySelector('#myID').appendChild(newDiv);
                                newDiv.innerHTML = "<md-card-content>Oh no! Why does this button not work?<br>"+
                                                    "<md-button class='md-warn' ng-click='my_print_to_console()'>Button :( </md-button>"+
                                                    "</md-card-content>";
                                }

    $scope.my_print_to_console = function ()    {
                                                addMeinElement ();
                                                };  


});

This is the corresponding html:

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/5.8.4/firebase-app.js"></script>

            <div style="position:fixed;width:80%;top:0;left:50%;transform: translate(-50%, 0);">
                <md-card>
                    <md-card-content>
                        <p>Click the button to hopefully create a new card with another button.</p>
                            <md-button class="md-warn" ng-click="my_print_to_console()";>Button :)</md-button>
                    </md-card-content>
                </md-card>
                <div id="myID">
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

It happens because Angular not aware that this is a an Angular component. you need to wrap your HTML with $compile service.

Add '$compile' to your module dependency
Wrap the code like that

$compile('your html here')($scope);

This seems like a promising answer. However, I can't figure out where in the code to insert this modification. I tried the following, but it does not work for me. `newDiv.innerHTML = $compile("test")($scope);` – nexonvantec Mar 18 '19 at 11:44
