reflectComponentType

function

Creates an object that allows to retrieve component metadata.

  
    reflectComponentType(  component: Type<C>): ComponentMirror<C>;

The example below demonstrates how to use the function and how the fields of the returned object map to the component metadata.

          @Component({  standalone: true,  selector: 'foo-component',  template: `    <ng-content></ng-content>    <ng-content select="content-selector-a"></ng-content>  `,})class FooComponent {  @Input('inputName') inputPropName: string;  @Output('outputName') outputPropName = new EventEmitter<void>();}const mirror = reflectComponentType(FooComponent);expect(mirror.type).toBe(FooComponent);expect(mirror.selector).toBe('foo-component');expect(mirror.isStandalone).toBe(true);expect(mirror.inputs).toEqual([{propName: 'inputName', templateName: 'inputPropName'}]);expect(mirror.outputs).toEqual([{propName: 'outputName', templateName: 'outputPropName'}]);expect(mirror.ngContentSelectors).toEqual([  '*',                 // first `<ng-content>` in a template, the selector defaults to `*`  'content-selector-a' // second `<ng-content>` in a template]);
