/**
* The CSS selector that triggers the instantiation of a directive.
*
* Angular only allows directives to trigger on CSS selectors that do not cross element boundaries.
* The supported selectors are:
*
* - `element-name` select by element name.
* - `.class` select by class name.
* - `[attribute]` select by attribute name.
* - `[attribute=value]` select by attribute name and value.
* - `:not(sub_selector)` select only if the element does not match the `sub_selector`.
*
* ## Example
*
* Suppose we have a directive with an `input[type=text]` selector.
*
* And the following HTML:
*
* <form>
* <input type="text">
* <input type="radio">
* <form>
*
* The directive would only be instantiated on the `<input type="text">` element.

/**
* Enumerates the set of properties that accept data binding for a directive.
*
* The `bind` property defines a set of `directiveProperty` to `bindingProperty` key-value pairs:
*
* - `directiveProperty` specifies the component property where the value is written.
* - `bindingProperty` specifies the DOM property where the value is read from.
*
* You can include [Pipes] when specifying a `bindingProperty` to allow for data transformation and structural
* change detection of the value.
*
* ## Syntax
* @Directive({
* bind: {
* 'directiveProperty1': 'bindingProperty1',
* 'directiveProperty2': 'bindingProperty2 | pipe1 | ...',
* ...
* }
* }
*
*
* ## Basic Property Binding:
*
* @Decorator({
* selector: '[tooltip]',
* bind: {
* 'tooltipText': 'tooltip'
* }
* })
* class Tooltip {
* set tooltipText(text) {
* // This will get called every time the 'tooltip' binding changes with the new value.
* }
* }
*
* As used in this example:
*
* <div [tooltip]="someExpression">
*
* Whenever the `someExpression` expression changes, the `bind` declaration instructs Angular to update the
* `Tooltip`'s `tooltipText` property.
*
*
* Similarly in this example:
*
* <div tooltip="Some Text">
*
* The `Tooltip`'s `tooltipText` property gets initialized to the `Some Text` literal.
*
*
* ## Bindings With Pipes:
*
* @Decorator({
* selector: '[class-set]',
* bind: {
* 'classChanges': 'classSet | keyValDiff'
* }
* })
* class ClassSet {
* set classChanges(changes:KeyValueChanges) {
* // This will get called every time the `class-set` expressions changes its structure.
* }
* }
*
* As used in this example:
* <div [class-set]="someExpression">
*
* 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.
*

/**
* Specifies which DOM events the directive listens to and what the action should be.
*
* The `event` property defines a set of `event` to `method` key-value pairs:
*
* - `event` specifies the DOM event that the directive listens to.
* - `onMethod` specifies the method to execute when the event occurs.
*
*
* ## Syntax
* @Directive({
* events: {
* 'event1': 'onMethod',
* ...
* }
* }
*
* ## Basic Event Binding:
*
* @Decorator({
* selector: 'input',

* onChange(event:Event) {
* // invoked whenever the DOM element fires the 'change' event.
