angular - Angular2 How to Define Input Property in Plain JS -

i want specify input property component using plain js (not typescript).

the documentation can find (which angular2 cheat sheet):

ng.core.input(myproperty, mycomponent);  //declares input property can  //update via property binding (e.g. <my-cmp [my-property]="someexpression">). 

i've tried in component's constructor:

.class({    constructor: function () {            ng.core.input(this.name, this);            } });       

however, not work (no errors reported either).

what doing wrong?

for these cases have inputs , outputs properties. note ts case annotations singular (input , output) , plain js they're plural (inputs , outputs).

var children = ng.core.   component({     inputs : ['myvalue'], // equivalent @input('myvalue')     outputs : ['emitvalue'] // equivalent @output() emitvalue;   }).   class({     constructor: function() {       // initialize emitvalue       this.emitvalue = new ng.core.eventemitter();     },      // available @ ngoninit lifecycle     ngoninit : function() {        console.log(this.myvalue);     },      // value component emit     emit : function() {       this.emitvalue.emit('this value children');     }   }); 

with inputs can use syntax [internalvalue: externalvalue], give possibility this

<another-cmp [externalvalue]="someexpression"></another-cmp>  .component({   inputs : ['internalvalue: externalvalue'] }) .class({   ngoninit : function() {      // 'internalvalue' contains 'externalvalue' value     console.log(this.internalvalue);    } }) 

and parent component

var parent = ng.core.     component({         selector: 'cmp',         template : `             <another-cmp [myvalue]="myvalue" (emitvalue)="printvalue($event)">             </another-cmp>             children have say? {{childrenvalue}}         `,         directives : [children]     }).     class({         constructor: function() {             this.myvalue = 'some value pass children';         },         printvalue : function(value) {             this.childrenvalue = value;         } }); 

here's plnkr demonstrating case. hope helps.
