We tell Angular about it by listing it in the metadata `directives` array. Let's add that array property to the bottom of the
`@Component` configuration object, immediately after the `template` and `styles` properties.

Now Angular will know to supply an instance of the `HeroService` when it creates a new `AppComponent`.
Angular has to get that instance from somewhere. That's the role of the Angular *Dependency Injector*.
The **Injector** has a **container** of previously created services.
Either it finds and returns a pre-existing `HeroService` from its container or it creates a new instance, adds
it to the container, and returns it to Angular.

The `providers` array tells Angular to create a fresh instance of the `HeroService` when it creates a new `AppComponent`.
The `AppComponent` can use that service to get heroes and so can every child component of its component tree.

### Services and the component tree
Recall that the `AppComponent` creates an instance of `HeroDetail` by virtue of the
`<my-hero-detail>` tag at the bottom of its template. That `HeroDetail` is a child of the `AppComponent`.
If the `HeroDetailComponent` needed its parent component's `HeroService`,
it would ask Angular to inject the service into its constructor which would look just like the one for `AppComponent`:
+makeExample('toh-4/ts/app/app.component.1.ts', 'ctor', 'hero-detail.component.ts (constructor)')

The `HeroDetailComponent` must *not* repeat its parent's `providers` array! Guess [why](#shadow-provider).
The `AppComponent` is the top level component of our application.
There should be only one instance of that component and only one instance of the `HeroService` in our entire app.

### Appendix: Shadowing the parent's service
We stated [earlier](#child-component) that if we injected the parent `AppComponent` `HeroService`
into the `HeroDetailComponent`, *we must not add a providers array* to the `HeroDetailComponent` metadata.
Why? Because that tells Angular to create a new instance of the `HeroService` at the `HeroDetailComponent` level.
The `HeroDetailComponent` doesn't want its *own* service instance; it wants its *parent's* service instance.
Adding the `providers` array creates a new service instance that shadows the parent instance.
Think carefully about where and when to register a provider.
Understand the scope of that registration. Be careful not to create a new service instance at the wrong level.
