# Zone.js

[![CDNJS](https://img.shields.io/cdnjs/v/zone.js.svg)](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/zone.js)

Implements _Zones_ for JavaScript, inspired by [Dart](https://dart.dev/articles/archive/zones).

> If you're using zone.js via unpkg (i.e. using `https://unpkg.com/zone.js`)
> and you're using any of the following libraries, make sure you import them first

> * 'newrelic' as it patches global.Promise before zone.js does
> * 'async-listener' as it patches global.setTimeout, global.setInterval before zone.js does
> * 'continuation-local-storage' as it uses async-listener

# NEW Zone.js POST-v0.6.0

See the new API [here](./lib/zone.ts).

Read up on [Zone Primer](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1F5Ug0jcrm031vhSMJEOgp1l-Is-Vf0UCNDY-LsQtAIY).

## What's a Zone?

A Zone is an execution context that persists across async tasks.
You can think of it as [thread-local storage](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread-local_storage) for JavaScript VMs.

See this video from ng-conf 2014 for a detailed explanation:

## Standard API support

zone.js patched most standard web APIs (such as DOM events, `XMLHttpRequest`, ...) and nodejs APIs
(`EventEmitter`, `fs`, ...), for more details, please see [STANDARD-APIS.md](STANDARD-APIS.md).

## Nonstandard API support

We are adding support to some nonstandard APIs, such as MediaQuery and
Notification. Please see [NON-STANDARD-APIS.md](NON-STANDARD-APIS.md) for more details.

## Examples

You can find some samples to describe how to use zone.js in [SAMPLE.md](SAMPLE.md).

## Modules

zone.js patches the async APIs described above, but those patches will have some overhead.
Starting from zone.js v0.8.9, you can choose which web API module you want to patch.
For more details, please
see [MODULE.md](MODULE.md).

## Bundles

Starting with `v0.11.0`, `zone.js`  uses `Angular Package Format` for bundle distribution.
(For backwards compatibility, all bundles can still be accessed from `dist` folder.)

|Bundle|Summary|
|---|---|
|`zone.js`| The default bundle. Contains the most used APIs such as `setTimeout/Promise/EventTarget...`, it also supports differential loading by importing  this bundle using `import zone.js`.  In legacy browsers it includes some additional patches such as `registerElement` and `EventTarget` like APIs.|
|`zone-testing.js`| The bundle for zone testing support of `jasmine` / `mocha` / `jest`. Also includes test utility functions `async` / `fakeAsync` / `sync`.|
|`zone-node.js`|The NodeJS support bundle.|
|`zone-mix.js`|A mixed bundle which supports both browser and NodeJS. Useful for mixed environment such as Electron.|
|`zone-externs.js`|the API definitions for `closure compiler`.|

Additional optional patches not included in the `zone.js` bundles which extend functionality.
The additional bundles can  be found under `zone.js/plugins` folder.
To use these bundles, add the following code after importing zone.js bundle.

```
import 'zone.js';
// For example, import canvas patch
import 'zone.js/plugins/zone-patch-canvas';
```
