 ### Component IDs

 Every Component has an ID that's unique within the parent {{#crossLink "Scene"}}{{/crossLink}}. xeogl generates
 the IDs automatically by default, however you can also specify them yourself. In the example below, we're creating a
 scene comprised of {{#crossLink "Scene"}}{{/crossLink}}, {{#crossLink "Material"}}{{/crossLink}}, {{#crossLink "Geometry"}}{{/crossLink}} and
 {{#crossLink "Mesh"}}{{/crossLink}} components, while letting xeogl generate its own ID for
 the {{#crossLink "Geometry"}}{{/crossLink}}:

 ````javascript
 // The Scene is a Component too
 var scene = new xeogl.Scene({
    id: "myScene"
 });

 var material = new xeogl.PhongMaterial(scene, {
    id: "myMaterial"
 });

 var geometry = new xeogl.Geometry(scene, {
    id: "myGeometry"
 });

 // Let xeogl automatically generate the ID for our Mesh
 var mesh = new xeogl.Mesh(scene, {
    material: material,
    geometry: geometry
 });
 ````

 We can then find those components like this:

 ````javascript
 // Find the Scene
 var theScene = xeogl.scenes["myScene"];

 // Find the Material
 var theMaterial = theScene.components["myMaterial"];

 // Find all PhongMaterials in the Scene
 var phongMaterials = theScene.types["xeogl.PhongMaterial"];

 // Find our Material within the PhongMaterials
 var theMaterial = phongMaterials["myMaterial"];
 ````

 ### Component inheritance


 TODO

 All xeogl components are (at least indirect) subclasses of the Component base type.

 For most components, you can get the name of its class via its {{#crossLink "Component/type:property"}}{{/crossLink}} property:

 ````javascript
 var type = theMaterial.type; // "xeogl.PhongMaterial"
 ````

 You can also test if a component implements or extends a given component class, like so:

 ````javascript
 // Evaluates true:
 var isComponent = theMaterial.isType("xeogl.Component");

 // Evaluates true:
 var isMaterial = theMaterial.isType("xeogl.Material");

 // Evaluates true:
 var isPhongMaterial = theMaterial.isType("xeogl.PhongMaterial");

 // Evaluates false:
 var isMetallicMaterial = theMaterial.isType("xeogl.MetallicMaterial");
 ````
 Note that the chain is ordered downwards in the hierarchy, ie. from super-class down towards sub-class.

 ### Metadata

 You can set optional **metadata** on your Components, which can be anything you like. These are intended
 to help manage your components within your application code or content pipeline. You could use metadata to attach
 authoring or version information, like this:

 ````javascript
 // Scene with authoring metadata
 var scene = new xeogl.Scene({
    id: "myScene",
    meta: {
        title: "My bodacious 3D scene",
        author: "@xeographics",
        date: "February 30 2018"
    }
 });

 // Material with descriptive metadata
 var material = new xeogl.PhongMaterial(scene, {
    id: "myMaterial",
    diffuse: [1, 0, 0],
    meta: {
        description: "Bright red color with no textures",
        version: "0.1",
        foo: "bar"
    }
 });
 ````

 ### Logging

 Components have methods to log ID-prefixed messages to the JavaScript console:

 ````javascript
 material.log("Everything is fine, situation normal.");
 material.warn("Wait, whats that red light?");
 material.error("Aw, snap!");
 ````

 The logged messages will look like this in the console:

 ````text
 [LOG]   myMaterial: Everything is fine, situation normal.
 [WARN]  myMaterial: Wait, whats that red light..
 [ERROR] myMaterial: Aw, snap!
 ````

 ### Destruction

 Get notification of destruction directly on the Components:

 ````javascript
 material.on("destroyed", function() {
    this.log("Component was destroyed: " + this.id);
 });
 ````

 Or get notification of destruction of any Component within its {{#crossLink "Scene"}}{{/crossLink}}, indiscriminately:

 ````javascript
 scene.on("componentDestroyed", function(component) {
    this.log("Component was destroyed: " + component.id);
 });
 ````

 Then destroy a component like this:

 ````javascript
 material.destroy();
 ````

 ### Creating custom Components

 Subclassing a Component to create a new ````xeogl.ColoredTorus```` type:

 ````javascript
 class ColoredTorus extends xeogl.Component{

     get type() {
        return "ColoredTorus";
     }

     constructor(scene=null, cfg) { // Constructor

         super(scene. cfg);

         this._torus = new xeogl.Mesh({
             geometry: new xeogl.TorusGeometry({radius: 2, tube: .6}),
             material: new xeogl.MetallicMaterial({
                 baseColor: [1.0, 0.5, 0.5],
                 roughness: 0.4,
                 metallic: 0.1
             })
         });

         this.color = cfg.color;
     },

     set color(color) {
         this._torus.material.baseColor = color;
     }

     get color() {
         return this._torus.material.baseColor;
     }

     destroy() {
         super.destroy();
         this._torus.geometry.destroy();
         this._torus.material.destroy();
         this._torus.destroy();
     }
 };
 ````
