Angular2 version RC.6 "directives" inside @Component Error

Question

I am using Angular2 and have downloaded package.json from the official website. When I am trying to use "directives" inside @Component decorator I am getting this error.

I have attached my code ERROR:

[ts]
Argument of type '{ selector: string; template: string; directives: string; 
}' is not assignable to parameter of type 'ComponentMetadataType'.

Object literal may only specific known properties, and 'directives' does not
exist in type 'ComponentMetadataType'.
(property) directives: string

This is my code:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { PeopleListComponent } from './people-list/people-list.component';

@Component({
 selector: 'my-app',
 template: '<h1>{{ title }}</h1>',
 directives: ''   //ERROR //NOT ABLE TO RECOGNIZE
})

export class AppComponent { 
  title = "My title";
}

Here is my package.json:

        {
          "name": "angular2-quickstart",
          "version": "1.0.0",
          "scripts": {

            "typings": "typings"
          },

simple...

problem is with directives: ''

as its an array it should be directives: [ ]

Update: In RC6 OR later version, you have @NgModule. In RC6 OR later version, you have to declare pipes and directives that you are gonna use within @NgModule as shown...

import { PeopleListComponent } from './people-list/people-list.component';

@NgModule({
  imports:      [ BrowserModule],
  declarations: [ AppComponent,PeopleListComponent ],  //<<===here
  providers:    [],      
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})

You can remove directives:'' from @Component of AppComponent
