How to watch component binding change using Angular component

Question

How can I listen to angular component binding change and perform actions?

angular.module(\'myapp\')
    .component(\'myComponent\', {
        templateUrl: \'

Currently you can't use angular watchers without $scope as change detection is based around $scope. Even if you use expressions in HTML it would delegate watch functionality to $scope.

Even if you create some other mechanism to watch you will need to remember to unwatch manually - and with $scope it's done automatically.
