Now, using `ng.probe(element)` in the browser console returns
a DebugElement when in dev mode.
`ComponentFixture#debugElement` also returns a new DebugElement.
Breaking Change:
This is a breaking change for unit tests. The API for the DebugElement
has changed. Now, there is a DebugElement or DebugNode for every node
in the DOM, not only nodes with an ElementRef. `componentViewChildren` is
removed, and `childNodes` is a list of ElementNodes corresponding to every
child in the DOM. `query` no longer takes a scope parameter, since
the entire rendered DOM is included in the `childNodes`.
Before:
```
componentFixture.debugElement.componentViewChildren[0];
```
After
```
// Depending on the DOM structure of your component, the
// index may have changed or the first component child
// may be a sub-child.
componentFixture.debugElement.children[0];
```
Before:
```
debugElement.query(By.css('div'), Scope.all());
```
After:
```
debugElement.query(By.css('div'));
```
Before:
```
componentFixture.debugElement.elementRef;
```
After:
```
componentFixture.elementRef;
```
BEFORE:
The following would throw in the dev mode because `f` would return a new array when called by checkNoChanges.
@Component({
template: `
{{f()}}
`
})
class A {
f() { return [1]; }
}
AFTER:
The checkNoChanges function compares only primitives types for equality, and deeply compares iterables. Other objects cannot cause checkNoChanges to throw. This means that the dev mode would never fail given a legal program, but may allow some illegal programs.
Also enable DDC checks across all non-web worker playground apps. We are
now down to 2 DDC errors across all of them. The remaining two need to be
fixed in package:analyzer, not in angular.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- there's a chance of breakage as router's Instruction constructor
signature changed.
Closes#6693
This is needed to prevent memory leaks. The DOM
listeners don’t need to be removed for simple examples,
but a big internal app shows memory leaks because of them.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Renderer.listen` now has to return a function that
removes the event listener.
Adds tests for public Dart and TS frameworks to make sure that
components with templateUrl can be created by the TestComponentBuilder.

Remove String type check in looseIdentical in JS-mode. It is not necessary as dart2js already compiles `identical` to `===` which compares string contents. Inline call sites.
This improves change detection of plain fields by 40%. On a large internal app the improvement is 5%.

Resolve all invalid field override errors, workaround current
reflection limitations in Dart Dev Compiler. todo, hello_world and

Widen version dependencies for `package:angular`, `package:code_transformers`,
and `package:observe`.
`package:guinness` uses `package:unittest` while
the newest versions of `package:code_transformers` use `package:test`.
This causes our end-to-end Dart transformer tests (which use testing
code in `package:code_transformers`) to be skipped.
To fix this:
- Move e2e tests to run in a separate file
- Run `gulp test.server.dart` tests serially

Replace uses of `package:code_transformers`, which is only used to
convert from uri to `AssetId`, with calls to the utility methods in
`src/transform/common/url_resolver.dart`.
Closes#5931
With providers split into bundles, the test injector is now able to
use providers for a given bundle. Suggested provider lists for tests are
available in `angular2/platform/testing/<platform>`.
Change the providers for a test suite using `setBaseTestProviders`. This
should be done once at the start of the test suite, before any test cases
run.
BREAKING CHANGE: Tests are now required to use `setBaseTestProviders`
to set up. Assuming your tests are run on a browser, setup would change
as follows.
Before:
```js
// Somewhere in test setup
import {BrowserDomAdapter} from 'angular2/src/platform/browser/browser_adapter';
BrowserDomAdapter.makeCurrent
```
After:
```js
// Somewhere in the test setup
import {setBaseTestProviders} from 'angular2/testing';
import {
TEST_BROWSER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_BROWSER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS
} from 'angular2/platform/testing/browser';
setBaseTestProviders(TEST_BROWSER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_BROWSER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS);
```

BREAKING CHANGE:
- Platform pipes can only contain types and arrays of types,
but no bindings any more.
- When using transformers, platform pipes need to be specified explicitly
in the pubspec.yaml via the new config option
`platform_pipes`.
- `Compiler.compileInHost` now returns a `HostViewFactoryRef`
- Component view is not yet created when component constructor is called.
-> use `onInit` lifecycle callback to access the view of a component
- `ViewRef#setLocal` has been moved to new type `EmbeddedViewRef`
- `internalView` is gone, use `EmbeddedViewRef.rootNodes` to access
the root nodes of an embedded view
- `renderer.setElementProperty`, `..setElementStyle`, `..setElementAttribute` now
take a native element instead of an ElementRef
- `Renderer` interface now operates on plain native nodes,
instead of `RenderElementRef`s or `RenderViewRef`s
Closes#5993
Previously when comparing which of multiple possible routes to choose in
an ambiguous case, we looked at the specificity of the target of redirect
matches rather than the original match. This meant that if a redirect
used a whilecard, but redirected to a target that was a static path,
we'd cound the static path's specificity instead of the wildcard.
This change stores the specificity of the redirect on the RedirectInstruction.
Closes#5933
This changes the way we calculate specificity. Instead of using a number,
we use a string, so that combining specificity across parent-child instructions
becomes a matter of concatenating them
Fixes#5848Closes#6011
Before, all test framework wrappers (internal for dart and js/ts,
angular2_test for dart and testing for js/ts) had similar logic to
keep track of current global test injector and test provider list.
This change wraps that logic into one class managed by the test
injector.

This commit reverts a8d9dbf that introduced a code size regression (16kb gzipped, 63kb minified) in Dart.
Effect on the hello world app:
gzipped: 105kb -> 89kb
minified: 370kb -> 317kb
BREAKING CHANGE:
- This is very unlikely to be breaking, but I'm still marking just in case. The only change to the user should be that dev mode is driven by Dart's checked mode, like it was in the past.
BREAKING CHANGE
Before
Previously Angular would run in dev prod mode by default, and you could enable the dev mode by calling enableDevMode.
After
Now, Angular runs in the dev mode by default, and you can enable the prod mode by calling enableProdMode.
Before #5375, injectAsync would check the return value and fail
if it was not a promise, to help users remember that they need to
return a promise from an async test. #5375 removed that with the
introduction of the testing zone.
This un-deprecates `injectAsync` until we can resolve
https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/5515.
To be clear, this means that `inject` and `injectAsync` are now
identical except that `injectAsync` will fail if the test
does not return a promise, and `inject` will fail if the test
returns any value.
Closes#5721
Before, all test framework wrappers (internal for dart and js/ts,

BREAKING CHANGE
From the app thread, in both TypeScript and Dart, you bootstrap the app
using `application` instead of `asyncApplication`.
Before:
```TypeScript
platform([WORKER_APP_PLATFORM])
.asyncApplication(setupWebWorker, optionalProviders?)
.then((ref) => ref.bootstrap(RootComponent));
```
Now:
```TypeScript
platform([WORKER_APP_PLATFORM])

Since AppRootUrl is removed, the logic for extending and emitting
the root url as part of the setup seems unnecessary.

BREAKING CHANGE:
`angular2/angular2` was removed. Use the correct import from one of the barrels. E.g. `angular2/core`, `angular2/platform/browser`, `angular2/common`, …
Note: This only applies to JavaScript, Dart is not changed.
Closes#5815Closes#5797
BREAKING CHANGE:
The following symbols are not exported from angular2/angular2 any more:
`UrlResolver`, `AppRootUrl`, `getUrlScheme`, `DEFAULT_PACKAGE_URL_PROVIDER`.
Use imports from `angular2/compiler` instead.
This changes the public api spec to check each public barrel individually
to make sure its API has not changed. The previous API spec has been
preserved but split into respective barrels.
The compiler barrel has been added to the spec, along with all of its
public exports. Previously, angular2/angular2 was only exporting a
handful of symbols from compiler, so there are now many more symbols
being tested in the spec for compiler than previously.

In the browser, calling element.textContent causes child comment
nodes to be ignored, while getting textContent directly on a
comment node will return the comment. This change makes
parse5Adapter consistent with this behavior by adding a 2nd
argument to getText telling if it's being called recursively.
Closes#5805
This is used for setting property binding values as attributes
on elements when running in dev mode. This implementation will

BREAKING CHANGE:
The existing sfx bundle (angular2.sfx.dev.js) is replaced by UMD bundles:
angular2.umd.js and angular2.umd.dev.js. The new UMD bundles dont have
polyfills (zone.js, reflect-metadata) pre-appended. Those polyfills
can be easily loaded by including the angular-polyfills.js bundle.

Currently, hashchange events outside of Angular that cause navigation
do not take into account cases where the initial route URL changes
due to a redirect or a default route.
Closes#5590Closes#5683
This is more correct and resolves the issue of having dupes within the same project.
This change has no impact on our shrinkwrap since peerDeps and deps are merged into one
within the shrinkwrap file.
BREAKING CHANGE: rxjs, reflect-metadata, zone.js and es6-shims now must be specified as
explicit dependencies of each angular app that uses npm for package management.
To migrate, please add the following into the "dependencies" section of your package.json:
```
"dependencies": {
...
"es6-promise": "^3.0.2",
"es6-shim": "^0.33.3",
"reflect-metadata": "0.1.2",

BREAKING CHANGE:
toPromise is no longer an instance method of the `Observable` returned
by Angular, and fromPromise is no longer available as a static method.
The easiest way to account for this change in applications is to import
the auto-patching modules from rxjs, which will automatically add these
operators back to the Observable prototype.
```
import 'rxjs/add/operator/toPromise';
import 'rxjs/add/observable/fromPromise';
```

Closes#5559Closes#5578
BREAKING CHANGE:
You can no longer bootstrap a WebWorker or Isolate using `bootstrap` or `bootstrapWebWorker`. Instead you have to do the following:
In TypeScript:
```TypeScript
// index.js
import {WORKER_RENDER_PLATFORM, WORKER_RENDER_APPLICATION, WORKER_SCRIPT} from "angular2/platforms/worker_render";
import {platform} from "angular2/platform";
platform([WORKER_RENDER_PLATFORM])
.application([WORKER_RENDER_APPLICATION, new Provider(WORKER_SCRIPT, {useValue: "loader.js"});
```
```JavaScript
// loader.js
importScripts("https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/es6-shim/0.33.3/es6-shim.js", "https://jspm.io/system@0.16.js", "angular2/web_worker/worker.js");
System.import("app");
```
```TypeScript
// app.ts
import {Component, View} from "angular2/core";
import {WORKER_APP_PLATFORM, setupWebWorker} from "angular2/platforms/worker_app";
import {platform} from "angular2/platform";
@Component({
selector: "hello-world"
})
@View({
template: "<h1>Hello {{name}}</h1>
})
export class HelloWorld {
name: string = "Jane";
}
platform([WORKER_APP_PLATFORM])
.asyncApplication(setupWebWorker, optionalProviders?)
.then((ref) => ref.bootstrap(RootComponent));
```
In Dart:
```Dart
// index.dart
import "angular2/platform.dart";
import "angular2/platforms/worker_render.dart";
main() {
platform([WORKER_RENDER_PLATFORM])
.asyncApplication(initIsolate("my_worker.dart"));
}
```
```Dart
// background_index.dart
import "angular2/platform.dart";
import "angular2/platforms/worker_app.dart";
import "package:angular2/src/core/reflection/reflection.dart";
import "package:angular2/src/core/reflection/reflection_capabilities.dart";
@Component(
selector: "hello-world"
)
@View(
template: "<h1>Hello {{name}}</h1>"
)
class HelloWorld {
String name = "Jane";
}
main(List<String> args, SendPort replyTo) {
reflector.reflectionCapabilities = new ReflectionCapabilities();
platform([WORKER_APP_PLATFORM])
.asyncApplication(setupIsolate(replyTo))
.then((ref) => ref.bootstrap(RootComponent));
}
```
You should no longer import from the `angular2/web_worker/worker` and `angular2/web_worker/ui` paths. Instead you can now import directly from core, directives, etc..
The WebWorkerApplication class has been removed. If you want to use ServiceMessageBroker or ClientMessageBroker on the render thread, you must inject their factories via DI.
If you need to use the MessageBus on the render thread you must also obtain it through DI.

move to new RxJS distribution.
BREAKING CHANGE:
RxJS imports now are via `rxjs` instead of `@reactivex/rxjs`
Individual operators can be imported `import 'rxjs/operators/map'`
Change beforeEachBindings to beforeEachProviders but preserve the
@deprecated method beforeEachBindings, in order to keep a working
deprecation warning
The typings property is being removed because angular2.ts is deprecated, and the developers should import from angular2/core and angular2/platform/*. So aliasing angular2 to angular2/angular2 does not make sense.
BREAKING CHANGE
Before
import * as ng from 'angular2';
After
import * as core from 'angular2/core';
I think people new to promises, angular etc will find this example easier to understand with concrete identifiers from a simple use-case. The existing naming could be confused with promise/angular functionality (`promise` in the template, `resolved` etc).
Also I made `resolve` private, as then it's clear what we're exposing for the template.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously, pipes that wanted to be notified when they were destroyed
would implement the PipeOnDestroy interface and name the callback
`onDestroy`. This change removes the PipeOnDestroy interface and
instead uses Angular's lifecycle interface `OnDestroy`, with the
`ngOnDestroy` method.
Before:
```
import {Pipe, PipeOnDestroy} from 'angular2/angular2';
@Pipe({pure: false})
export class MyPipe implements PipeOnDestroy {
onDestroy() {}
}
```
After:
import {Pipe, OnDestroy} from 'angular2/angular2';
@Pipe({pure: false})
export class MyPipe implements PipeOnDestroy {
ngOnDestroy() {}
}
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously, components that would implement lifecycle interfaces would include methods
like "onChanges" or "afterViewInit." Given that components were at risk of using such
names without realizing that Angular would call the methods at different points of
the component lifecycle. This change adds an "ng" prefix to all lifecycle hook methods,
far reducing the risk of an accidental name collision.
To fix, just rename these methods:
* onInit
* onDestroy
* doCheck
* onChanges
* afterContentInit
* afterContentChecked
* afterViewInit
* afterViewChecked
* _Router Hooks_
* onActivate
* onReuse
* onDeactivate
* canReuse
* canDeactivate
To:
* ngOnInit,
* ngOnDestroy,
* ngDoCheck,
* ngOnChanges,
* ngAfterContentInit,
* ngAfterContentChecked,
* ngAfterViewInit,
* ngAfterViewChecked
* _Router Hooks_
* routerOnActivate
* routerOnReuse
* routerOnDeactivate
* routerCanReuse
* routerCanDeactivate
The names of lifecycle interfaces and enums have not changed, though interfaces
have been updated to reflect the new method names.
Closes#5036
Use a zone counting timeouts and microtasks to determine when a test
is finished, instead of requiring the test writer to use
injectAsync and return a promise.
See #5322
This is a big change. @matsko also deserves much of the credit for the implementation.
Previously, `ComponentInstruction`s held all the state for async components.
Now, we introduce several subclasses for `Instruction` to describe each type of navigation.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Redirects now use the Link DSL syntax. Before:
```
@RouteConfig([
{ path: '/foo', redirectTo: '/bar' },
{ path: '/bar', component: BarCmp }
])
```
After:
```
@RouteConfig([
{ path: '/foo', redirectTo: ['Bar'] },
{ path: '/bar', component: BarCmp, name: 'Bar' }
])
```
BREAKING CHANGE:
This also introduces `useAsDefault` in the RouteConfig, which makes cases like lazy-loading
and encapsulating large routes with sub-routes easier.
Previously, you could use `redirectTo` like this to expand a URL like `/tab` to `/tab/posts`:
@RouteConfig([
{ path: '/tab', redirectTo: '/tab/users' }
{ path: '/tab', component: TabsCmp, name: 'Tab' }
])
AppCmp { ... }
Now the recommended way to handle this is case is to use `useAsDefault` like so:
```
@RouteConfig([
{ path: '/tab', component: TabsCmp, name: 'Tab' }
])
AppCmp { ... }
@RouteConfig([
{ path: '/posts', component: PostsCmp, useAsDefault: true, name: 'Posts' },
{ path: '/users', component: UsersCmp, name: 'Users' }
])
TabsCmp { ... }
```
In the above example, you can write just `['/Tab']` and the route `Users` is automatically selected as a child route.

A quoted expression is:
quoted expression = prefix `:` uninterpretedExpression
prefix = identifier
uninterpretedExpression = arbitrary string
Example: "route:/some/route"
Quoted expressions are parsed into a new AST node type Quote. The `prefix` part of the
node must be a legal identifier. The `uninterpretedExpression` part of the node is an
arbitrary string that Angular does not interpret.
This feature is meant to be used together with template AST transformers introduced in
a43ed79ee7. The
transformer would interpret the quoted expression and convert it into a standard AST no
longer containing quoted expressions. Angular will continue compiling the resulting AST
normally.
