This method is where which you should override to compose together child components to build your own components.
Returns an array of SuperComponents or arrays of SuperComponents that should be rendered.
This method should be called when the content inside the component has been updated. The most juniour component that needs to be updated should be called to help performance.
For example, if you have the choice of rerendering a parent or its child, if the visual update only concerns the child, then calling rerender on the child is prefered.
