  p.
    As mentioned earlier, you build Angular applications as a tree of nested components.
    You've seen how to create a top-level component.
    You add child components to a parent component by using them in
    the parent component's template,
    and by specifying the child component classes in the parent's list of directives.
  p.
    Given a bootstrapping template with a <code>&lt;parent&gt;</code> tag in the body,
    you can create a parent
    component that uses a <code>&lt;child&gt;</code> component like so:

  pre.prettyprint.linenums.lang-dart
    code.
      part of making_components;

      @Component(
        selector: 'parent'
      )
      @View(
        template: '''
          &lt;h1&gt;{{ message }}&lt;/h1&gt;
          <span class="pnk">&lt;child&gt;&lt;/child&gt;</span>
      ''',
        directives: const[<span class="pnk">ChildComponent</span>]
      )
      class ParentComponent {
        String message = "I'm the parent";
      }

  p You then just need to write the <code>ChildComponent</code> class to make it work:

  pre.prettyprint.linenums.lang-dart
    code.
      part of making_components;

      @Component(
          selector: 'child'
      )
      @View(
          template: '''
          &lt;p&gt; {{ message }} &lt;/p&gt;
      '''
      )
      class ChildComponent {
        String message = "I'm the child";
      }

  //p.
