This is part of ongoing work to make core platform-independent.
BREAKING CHANGE
All private exports from 'angular2/src/core/facade/{lang,collection,exception_handler}' should be replaced with 'angular2/src/facade/{lang,collection,exception_handler}'.
This allows TypeScript to produce an API surface which matches the Dart semantics.
I found these with:
gulp build.js.dev && find dist/js/dev/es5/angular2/src -name "*.d.ts" -exec grep -H -n '^ *_' {} \;
Closes#4638
This was a poorly typed attempt to mimic TypeScript's index signatures,
which we can use instead.
This eliminates a very strange type that we were exposing to users, but
not re-exporting through our public API.
Fixes#4483
BREAKING CHANGE:
This change moves the http module into angular2/, so its import
path is now angular2/http instead of http/http.
Many other modules have also been moved around inside of angular2,
but the public API paths have not changed as of this commit.
The BaseRequestOptions class is responsible for declaring default values,
while the RequestOptions class is merely responsible for setting values
based on values provided in the constructor.
These wrappers are not natively understood by
ts2dart. Removing them will improve Dart2JS
compilation due to fewer megamorphic calls to List
functions.
It also makes Angular code more succinct and
improves type safety in Angular due to better type
inference of the Array component type.
This change exposed several bugs in Angular.
This implementation only works in JavaScript, while the Observable transpilation
story gets worked out. Right now, the service just makes a simple request,
and returns an Observable of Response.
Additional functionality will be captured in separate issues.
Fixes#2028
