BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously, `Directive` was the abstract base class of several directives.
Now, `Directive` is the former `Decorator`, and `Component` inherits from it.
BREAKING_CHANGE:
- The special type of `Viewport` directives is removed
in favor of a more general `Decorator` directive
- `ViewContainerRef` now no more has a default `ProtoViewRef`
but requires an explicit one when creating views.
Closes#1536
BREAKING CHANGES:
- `NgElement` merged into `ElementRef`
- `Compiler.compile…` returns `ProtoViewRef`
- `ViewContainer` uses `ProtoViewRef`s and `ViewRef`s.
- `ViewRef`/`ProtoViewRef` in renderer were renamed to
`RenderViewRef`/`RenderProtoViewRef`.
Related to #1477Closes#1592
Major changes:
- `compiler.compileRoot(el, type)`
-> `compiler.compileInHost(type) + viewHydrator.hydrateHostViewInPlace(el, view)`
- move all `hydrate`/`dehydrate` methods out of `View` and `ViewContainer` into
a standalone class `view_hydrator` as private methods and provide new public
methods dedicated to the individual use cases.
Note: This PR does not change the current functionality, only moves it
into different places.
See design discussion in #1351, in preparation for imperative views.
Introduces angular2/src/core/compiler/ViewFactory which
extracts ProtoView.instantiate and replaces ViewPool.
Note: This is a work in progress commit to unblock other commits.
There will be follow ups to add unit tests, remove TODOs, …
Needed to change Renderer.mergeChildComponentProtoViews to not create
new ProtoViews to be able to deal with cyclic references.
This commit is part of using the new render layer in Angular.
