I have created a component called Parent and Child. I want to display all the UI of ChildComponent to my ParentComponent.

child.component.ts

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-child',
  templateUrl: './child.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./child.component.scss']
})
export class ChildComponent implements OnInit {

  testContent = 'child component content...';

  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {
  }

}

child.component.html

<p>{{testContent}}</p>

parent.component.ts

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-admin',
  templateUrl: './admin.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./admin.component.scss'],
  directives: [ChildComponent]
})
export class AdminComponent implements OnInit {

  constructor() { }

  ngOnInit() {
  }

}

parent.component.html

<div>
  Lorem ipsum
  <app-child></app-child>
</div>

I want to display the contents of child component inside parent component. However, I am encountering an error in Angular 4

"Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'directives' does not exist in type 'Component'."

Do you have any idea what is the alternative property to add child component?

Remove directives from the parent component and add the child component to the module declarations array where the parent component lives.

Directives and pipes in @component are deprecated since angular RC6. Just remove it from the component. 

@Component({
  selector: 'app-admin',
  templateUrl: './admin.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./admin.component.scss']
})
