* - *Element Injectors*: Each component has a Shadow DOM. Within the Shadow DOM each element has an [ElementInjector]

* When resolving dependencies, the current injector is asked to resolve the dependency first, and if it does not

* When a template is instantiated, it also must instantiate the corresponding directives in a depth-first order. The

*
* ### Injecting query of child directives. [PENDING IMPLEMENTATION]
*
* In some cases the directive may be interersted in injecting its child directives. This is not directly possible
* since parent directives are guarteed to be created before child directives. Instead we can injecto a container
* which can than be filled once the data is needed.
* ### Injecting a live collection of direct child directives [PENDING IMPLEMENTATION]
*
* A directive can also query for other child directives. Since parent directives are instantiated before child
* directives, a directive can't simply inject the list of child directives. Instead, the directive asynchronously
* injects a [Query], which updates as children are added, removed, or moved by any [ViewPort] directive such as a
* `for`, an `if`, or a `switch`.
*
* ```
* @Decorator({ selector: '[my-directive]' })
* class MyDirective {
* constructor(@Children() dependencys:Query<Maker>) {
* // dependencys will eventuall contain: [4, 6]
* // this will upbate if children are added/removed/moved,
* // for example by having for or if.
* constructor(@Children() dependencies:Query<Maker>) {
* }
* }
* ```
*
* This directive would be instantiated with a [Query] which contains `Dependency` 4 and 6. Here, `Dependency` 5 would
* not be included, because it is not a direct child.
*
* ### Injecting query of descendant directives. [PENDING IMPLEMENTATION]
* ### Injecting a live collection of direct descendant directives [PENDING IMPLEMENTATION]

* // this will upbate if children are added/removed/moved,

* constructor(@Children() dependencies:Query<Maker>) {
* }
* }
* ```
*
* This directive would be instantiated with a Query which would contain `Dependency` 4, 5 and 6.
*
* ### Optional injection
*
* Finally there may be times when we would like to inject a component which may or may not be there. For this
* use case angular supports `@Optional` injection.
* The normal behavior of directives is to return an error when a specified dependency cannot be resolved. If you
* would like to inject `null` on unresolved dependency instead, you can annotate that dependency with `@Optional()`.
* This explicitly permits the author of a template to treat some of the surrounding directives as optional.
*
* ```
* @Decorator({ selector: '[my-directive]' })
* class MyDirective {
* constructor(@Optional() @Ancestor() form:Form) {
* // this will search for a Form directive above itself,
* // and inject null if not found
* constructor(@Optional() dependency:Dependency) {
* }
* }
* ```
*
* This directive would be instantiated with a `Dependency` directive found on the current element. If none can be
* found, the injector supplies `null` instead of throwing an error.

* ## Basic Property Binding:
* ## Basic Property Binding
*
* We can easily build a simple `Tooltip` directive that exposes a `tooltip` property, which can be used in templates
* with standard Angular syntax. For example:
*
* ```
* @Decorator({
* selector: '[tooltip]',
* bind: {
* 'tooltipText': 'tooltip'
* 'text': 'tooltip'
* }
* })
* class Tooltip {
* set tooltipText(text) {
* set text(text) {
* // This will get called every time the 'tooltip' binding changes with the new value.
* }
* }
* ```
*
* As used in this example:
* We can then bind to the `tooltip' property as either an expression (`someExpression`) or as a string literal, as
* shown in the HTML template below:
*
* ```html
* <div [tooltip]="someExpression">
* <div [tooltip]="someExpression">...</div>
* <div tooltip="Some Text">...</div>
* ```
*
* Whenever the `someExpression` expression changes, the `bind` declaration instructs Angular to update the
* `Tooltip`'s `tooltipText` property.
*
*
* Similarly in this example:
*
* ```html
* <div tooltip="Some Text">
* ```
*
* The `Tooltip`'s `tooltipText` property gets initialized to the `Some Text` literal.
*
*
* ## Bindings With Pipes:
*
* You can also use pipes when writing binding definitions for a directive.
*
* For example, we could write a binding that updates the directive on structural changes, rather than on reference
* changes, as normally occurs in change detection. (See: [Pipe] and [keyValueDiff] documentaition for more details.)

* The template that this directive is used in may also contain its own pipes. For example:
*
* ```html
* <div [class-set]="someExpression">
* <div [class-set]="someExpression | somePipe">
* ```
*
* In the above example, the `ClassSet` uses the `keyValDiff` [Pipe] for watching structural changes. This means that
* the `classChanges` setter gets invoked if the expression changes to a different reference, or if the
* structure of the expression changes. (Shallow property watching of the object)
*
* NOTE: The `someExpression` can also contain its own [Pipe]s. In this case, the two pipes compose as if they were
* inlined.
* In this case, the two pipes compose as if they were inlined: `someExpression | somePipe | keyValDiff`.

* Defines the set of injectable objects that are visible to a Component and its children.
*
* When a [Component] defines [injectables], Angular creates a new application-level [Injector] for the component
* and its children. Injectables are defined as a list of [Binding]s, (or as [Type]s as short hand). These bindings
* are passed to the [Injector] constructor when making a new child [Injector]. The injectables are available for
* all child directives of the Component (but not the declaring component's light DOM directives).
* The [services] defined in the Component annotation allow you to configure a set of bindings for the component's
* injector.
*
* ## Example
* // Example of a class which we would like to inject.
* When a component is instantiated, Angular creates a new child Injector, which is configured with the bindings in
* the Component [services] annotation. The injectable objects then become available for injection to the component
* itself and any of the directives in the component's template, i.e. they are not available to the directives which
* are children in the component's light DOM.
*
*
* The syntax for configuring the [services] injectable is identical to [Injector] injectable configuration. See
* [Injector] for additional detail.
*
*
* ## Simple Example
*
* Here is an example of a class that can be injected:

* ```
* class Greeter {

* constructor(salutation:string) {
* this.salutation = salutation;
* }

* }
* }
*
* @Component({

* bind(String).toValue('Hello'), // Configure injection of string
* Greeter // Make Greeter available for injection
* Greeter
* ]
* })
* @Template({
* inline: '<child></child>',
* inline: `{{greeter.greet('world')}}!`,
* directives: Child
* })

* class HelloWorld {

*
* Let's look at the [services] part of the example above.
