Convert properties in @Component/@Directive to Arrays

[mhevery]

Currently the properties, (and somewhat events) in @Directive take a Map rather then an Array.

The argument for an list rather then a map, is that most of the time we should not be renaming the properties, which creates a lists such as these:

{
  'title': 'title',
  'name': 'name',
  'nickname': 'nick',
  'age': 'age'
}

These are necessarily wordy! In addition it is hard to spot the renames. Did you notice it? Instead we should have this syntax:

['title', 'name', 'nickname <= nick', 'age']

This syntax is less wordy, and it makes the renames very explicit. It also encourages developers to keep the renames to a minimum.

This should apply to both: properties and events

[PatrickJS]

what about pipes?

@Component({
  selector: 'details',
  properties: [
    'model <= data | async'
  ]
})
class Details {}

What about something like this model < data | async using < (or even << event though that means append) rather than <= so the bash-like syntax is more consistent

@Component({
  selector: 'details',
  properties: [
    'model < attrData | async',
    'name < ngName'
  ]
})
class Details {}

also with the example above what if we changed the direction attrData | async > model

update:
the syntax changed to
model: attrData | async

Good call. Every example we've had to update since this change was using the same key/value. 👍

Not related, but I find this issue a wonderful example of open source sugar.
Simple technical issue, related to developers, easy to explain , easy to understand.
