We import what we need from an Angular library module in much the same way.
For example, we import the Angular **`Component` *function*** from the *angular2/core* module like this:
+makeExample('architecture/ts/app/app.component.ts', 'import')(format=".")

+.l-sub-section

+ A **barrel** is an Angular library module consisting of a logical grouping of single-purpose modules
+ such as `Component` and `Directive`.
+
+ Familiar barrels include `angular2/core`, `angular2/common`, `angular2/platform/browser`,
+ `angular2/http`, and `angular2/router`.
+
+ Barrels are packaged and shipped as [**bundles**](#bundle) that
+ we may load with script tags in our `index.html`.
+
+ The script, `angular2.dev.js`, is a bundle.

+ Angular apps are modular.
+
+ In general we assemble our application from many modules both the ones we write ourselves
+ and the ones we acquire from others.
+
+ A typical module is a cohesive block of code dedicated to a single purpose.
+
+ A module exports something of value in that code, typically one thing such as a class.
+ Modules are typically named after the file in which the exported thing is defined.
+
+ The Angular [DatePipe](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/modules/angular2/src/common/pipes/date_pipe.ts)
+ class belongs to a module named `date_pipe` in the file `date_pipe.ts`.
+
+ In general, Angular feature modules such as the `data_pipe` are not exposed directly.
+ Rather they are grouped together with logically related modules in public-facing **library modules**
+ called [**barrels**](#barrel).
