• ng g c page 
  This generates the component in `src\app\page\` including its template, local CSS (Angular simulates a so-called shadow dom in which each component has its own scoped CSS) and spec, or test file. Furthermore, it has added the component in the list of declarations of the `AppModule`.  `ng g c` is shorthand for `ng generate component` 

• Replace the generated code in `src\app\page\page.component.ts` with the snipped snippet from under:

  Code Block
  import { Component, Host } from '@angular/core'; import { BlueriqComponent } from '@blueriq/angular'; import { Page } from '@blueriq/core'; @Component({ templateUrl: './page.component.html', styleUrls: ['./page.component.css'], }) @BlueriqComponent({ type: Page, }) export class PageComponent { constructor(@Host() public page: Page) {} }

  
  Now write the template:

•  In `src\app\page\page.component.html` add a simple template using the injected page data: `

  Code Block
  <h1>{{ page.displayName }}</h1> <div *ngFor="let child of page.children" [bqElement]="child"></div>

   

  The `*ngFor` syntax is Angular's way of implementing a repeat over a list, in this case all children of the page. The `[bqElement]` is an Angular _directive_ that causes the passed `child` object to be rendered using the component that matches. 

  The brackets around `bqElement` cause the argument to be interpreted as TypeScript code. 

  Register as Blueriq component Besides registering the component as an Angular declaration, we also need to register it as a Blueriq component for the `@BlueriqComponent` decorator to be picked up. 

• In `src\app\app.module.ts` you need to add the following: 

  Code Block
  providers: [ BlueriqComponents.register([ PageComponent, ]), ],

   

  See it in action 

  If `ng serve` is still running, you can immediately open your browser and the page will have automatically refreshed. You should now see the title of the page if everything went well. In Web Inspector, open the console tab and verify that the table with Blueriq components now contains your page component.
