module app.directives {

  interface ISomeComponentBindings {
    textBinding: string;
    dataBinding: number;
    functionBinding: () => any;
  }

  interface ISomeComponentController extends ISomeComponentBindings {
    add(): void;
  }

  class SomeComponentController implements ISomeComponentController {

    public textBinding: string;
    public dataBinding: number;
    public functionBinding: () => any;

    constructor() {
      this.textBinding = '';
      this.dataBinding = 0;
    }

    add(): void {
      this.functionBinding();
    }

  }

  class SomeComponent implements ng.IComponentOptions {

    public bindings: any;
    public controller: any;
    public templateUrl: string;

    constructor() {
      this.bindings = {
        textBinding: '@',
        dataBinding: '<',
        functionBinding: '&'
      };
      this.controller = SomeComponentController;
      this.templateUrl = 'some-component.html';
    }

  }

  angular.module('appModule').component('someComponent', new SomeComponent());

}
