  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='Component-var.html'><code>Component</code></a>.
  
  ## Example
  
  ```
  @Component({
    selector: 'greet'
  })
  @View({
    template: 'Hello {{name}}!',
    directives: [GreetUser, Bold]
  })
  class Greet {
    name: string;
  
    constructor() {
      this.name = 'World';
    }
  }
  ```

    :markdown
      Specifies a template URL for an angular component.

    h3 styleUrls

    
    :markdown

  .l-sub-section
    h3 styles

  .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 *ng-for="#item of items">{{item}}</li>
        </ul>'
      })
      class MyComponent {
      }
      ```
      
      





  .l-sub-section
    h3 encapsulation

    
    :markdown
      Specify how the template and the styles should be encapsulated.
      The default is <a href='ViewEncapsulation-enum.html#EMULATED'><code>ViewEncapsulation</code></a> if the view has styles,
      otherwise <a href='ViewEncapsulation-enum.html#NONE'><code>ViewEncapsulation</code></a>.
