  BaseClass extend Component{
      views:{[nodeName:string]:Node} = {};    //node map
      ctor(){
          this.views["xxxName"] = null!;    // ts ! remark not null
     }

        this.parseView(this.node, true);
        this._hasParsedView = true;
       
        //example
       this.views["xxxName"].getComponet(xx).xxx
    }
    parseView(node:Node, forceParse:boolean = false){
        if(forceParse || !this._hasParsedView){
