View Child Example

viewchild.ts

// Shadow DOM - is an internal DOM of your component that is defined by you (as a creator of the component) 
// and hidden from an end-user. For example:

@Component({
  selector: 'some-component',
  template: `
    <h1>I am Shadow DOM!</h1>
    <h2>Nice to meet you :)</h2>
    <ng-content></ng-content>
  `;
})
class SomeComponent { /* ... */ }

// Light DOM - is a DOM that an end-user of your component supply into your component. For example:

@Component({
  selector: 'another-component',
  directives: [SomeComponent],
  template: `
    <some-component>
      <h1>Hi! I am Light DOM!</h1>
      <h2>So happy to see you!</h2>
    </some-component>
  `
})
class AnotherComponent { /* ... */ }

// The difference between @ViewChildren and @ContentChildren is that @ViewChildren look for elements in Shadow DOM 
// while @ContentChildren look for them in Light DOM.
