  Declares the available HTML templates for an application.
  
  Each angular component requires a single `@Component` and at least one `@View` annotation. The @View
  annotation specifies the HTML template to use, and lists the directives that are active within the template.
  
  When a component is instantiated, the template is loaded into the component's shadow root, and the
  expressions and statements in the template are evaluated against the component.
  
  For details on the `@Component` annotation, see <a href="angular2/annotations/Component-class"><code>Component</code></a>.
  
  ## Example
  
  ```
  @Component({
    selector: 'greet'
  })
  @View({
    template: 'Hello {{name}}!',
    directives: [GreetUser, Bold]
  })
  class Greet {
    name: string;
  
    constructor() {
      this.name = 'World';
    }
  }
  ```

  .l-sub-section
    h3 directives

    
    :markdown
      Specifies a list of directives that can be used within a template.
      
      Directives must be listed explicitly to provide proper component encapsulation.
      
      
      
      ```javascript
      @Component({
          selector: 'my-component'
        })
      @View({
        directives: [For]
        template: '
        <ul>
          <li *for="item in items">{{item}}</li>
        </ul>'
      })
      class MyComponent {
      }
      ```





  .l-sub-section
    h3 renderer

    
    :markdown
      Specify a custom renderer for this View.
      If this is set, neither `template`, `templateURL` nor `directives` are used.





  .l-sub-section
    h3 template

    
    :markdown
      Specifies an inline template for an angular component.
      
      NOTE: either `templateURL` or `template` should be used, but not both.





  .l-sub-section
    h3 templateUrl

    
    :markdown
      Specifies a template URL for an angular component.
      
      NOTE: either `templateURL` or `template` should be used, but not both.
