Also add a configuration switch to disable the codegen, so we can
still use the metadata emit and tsickle pre-processing in the
build pipeline for angular itself.
Before, we would create all fields in the generated views
with visibility `private`. This does not work if an embedded
view references a directive / element in a parent view.
In Dart, this was no problem so far as it does not have
a `private` modifier.
Before, `useValue` in a provider did not work when doing
offline compile, as so far the `MetadataResolver` was only
used for jit mode. Now, `useValue` supports any kind of value
that the static reflector can return. E.g. primitives,
arrays, string maps, …
Closes#8366
Most of the bugs discovered so far in the offline compiler were related to the StaticReflector. As it was part of angular2 core, it was hard to update. Moving it into the compiler_cli allows to release more often until the compiler_cli gets more stable.
Note: Moving the unit test next to the sources is the simplest option for now in terms of build setup.
Note: This commit only does the move. The next commit updates the build to run it again.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- ViewRef.changeDetectorRef was removed as using ChangeDetectorRefs
for EmbeddedViewRefs does not make sense. Use ComponentRef.changeDetectorRef
or inject ChangeDetectorRef instead.
Fixes#8242
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Before, a `EmbeddedViewRef` used to have methods for
setting variables. Now, a user has to pass in a context
object that represents all variables when an `EmbeddedViewRef`
should be created.
- `ViewContainerRef.createEmbeddedViewRef` now takes
a context object as 2nd argument.
- `EmbeddedViewRef.setLocal` and `getLocal` have been removed.
Use `EmbeddedViewRef.context` to access the context.
- `DebugNode.locals` has been removed. Use the new methods `DebugElement.references`
to get the references that are present on this element,
or `DebugElement.context` to get the context of the `EmbeddedViewRef` or the component to which the element belongs.
Closes#8321
The filename contains the module name as resolved by users, so the top-level module name is uneeded.
Module names on references are replaced by capturing the import syntax from the module.
This allows readers of the metadata to do the module resolution themselves.

Introduces `ref-` to give a name to an element or a directive (also works for `<template>` elements), and `let-` to introduce an input variable for a `<template>` element.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `#...` now always means `ref-`.
- `<template #abc>` now defines a reference to the TemplateRef, instead of an input variable used inside of the template.
- `#...` inside of a *ngIf, … directives is deprecated.
Use `let …` instead.
- `var-...` is deprecated. Replace with `let-...` for `<template>` elements and `ref-` for non `<template>` elements.
Closes#7158Closes#8264
Pure pipes as well as arrays and maps are
implemented via proxy functions. This is
faster than the previous implementation
and also generates less code.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- pipes now take a variable number of arguments, and not an array that contains all arguments.
Update the version of zone.js to @0.6.12 that contains the new FakeAsyncTestZoneSpec.
The new fakeAsync zone handles errors better and clearPendingTimers() is no longer required to be called after handling an error and is deprecated.
The fakeAsync test zone will now throw an error if an XHR is attemtped within the test since that cannot be controlled synchronously in the test(Need to be mocked out with a service implementation that doesn't involve XHRs).
This commit also allows fakeAsync to wrap inject to make it consistent with async test zone.
BREAKING CHANGE:
inject can no longer wrap fakeAsync while fakeAsync can wrap inject. So the order in existing tests with inject and fakeAsync has to be switched as follows:
Before:
```
inject([...], fakeAsync((...) => {...}))
```
After:
```
fakeAsync(inject([...], (...) => {...}))
```
Closes#8142
This changes Angular so that it can be used without reflection (assuming a codegen for injectors).
BREAKIKNG CHANGE:
- Drops `APP_COMPONENT` provider. Instead, inject
`ApplicationRef` and read its `componentTypes` property.
- long form bootstrap has changed into the following:
```
var platform = createPlatform(ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate(BROWSER_PROVIDERS));
var appInjector =
ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate([BROWSER_APP_PROVIDERS, appProviders], platform.injector);
coreLoadAndBootstrap(appInjector, MyApp);
```
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Injector was renamed into `ReflectiveInjector`,
as `Injector` is only an abstract class with one method on it
- `Injector.getOptional()` was changed into `Injector.get(token, notFoundValue)`
to make implementing injectors simpler
- `ViewContainerRef.createComponent` now takes an `Injector`
instead of `ResolvedProviders`. If a reflective injector
should be used, create one before calling this method.
(e.g. via `ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate(…)`.
This adds the feature for `@ViewChild`/`@ViewChildren`/`@ContentChild`/`@ContentChildren` to define what to read from the queried element.
E.g. `@ViewChild(`someVar`, read: ViewContainerRef)` will locate the element with a variable `someVar` on it and return a `ViewContainerRef` for it.
Background: With this change, Angular knows exactly at which elements there will be `ViewConainerRef`s as the user has to ask explicitly of them. This simplifies codegen and will make converting Angular templates into server side templates simpler as well.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoLocation` has been removed. Use `@ViewChild(‘myVar’, read: ViewContainerRef)` to get hold of a `ViewContainerRef` at an element with variable `myVar`.
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation` now takes a `ViewContainerRef` instead of an `ElementRef`.
- `AppViewManager` is renamed into `ViewUtils` and is a mere private utility service.
Each compile template now exposes a `<CompName>NgFactory` variable
with an instance of a `ComponentFactory`.
Calling `ComponentFactory.create` returns a `ComponentRef` that can
be used directly.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Compiler` is renamed to `ComponentResolver`,
`Compiler.compileInHost` has been renamed to `ComponentResolver.resolveComponent`.
- `ComponentRef.dispose` is renamed to `ComponentRef.destroy`
- `ViewContainerRef.createHostView` is renamed to `ViewContainerRef.createComponent`
- `ComponentFixture_` has been removed, the class `ComponentFixture`
can now be created directly as it is no more using private APIs.
