Angular Native (NativeScript Angular) Usage
// somewhere at top of your component or bootstrap file
import {registerElement} from "nativescript-angular/element-registry";
registerElement("VideoPlayer", () => require("nativescript-videoplayer").Video);
// documentation: https://docs.nativescript.org/angular/plugins/angular-third-party.html#simple-elements
With AngularNative you have to explicitly close all components so the correct template code is below.
