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.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Renderer:
* renderComponent method is removed form `Renderer`, only present on `RootRenderer`
* Renderer.setDebugInfo is removed. Renderer.createElement / createText / createTemplateAnchor
now take the DebugInfo directly.
- Query semantics:
* Queries don't work with dynamically loaded components.
* e.g. for router-outlet: loaded components can't be queries via @ViewQuery,
but router-outlet emits an event `activate` now that emits the activated component
- Exception classes and the context inside changed (renamed fields)
- DebugElement.attributes is an Object and not a Map in JS any more
- ChangeDetectorGenConfig was renamed into CompilerConfig
- AppViewManager.createEmbeddedViewInContainer / AppViewManager.createHostViewInContainer
are removed, use the methods in ViewContainerRef instead
- Change detection order changed:
* 1. dirty check component inputs
* 2. dirty check content children
* 3. update render nodes

BREAKING CHANGE:
For static content projection, elements with *-directives are now matched against the element itself vs the template before.
<p *ngIf="condition" foo></p>
Before:
// Use the implicit template for projection
<ng-content select="template"></ng-content>
After:
// Use the actual element for projection
<ng-content select="p[foo]"></ng-content>
Closes#7742
Instead of running with karma and the karma-dart shim, run dart
tests directly using the new package:test runner. This migrates
away from package:unittest.
Fixes a couple tests, mostly associated with depending on absolute
URLs or editing the test providers after an injector had already
been created.
Remove karma-dart and associated files. Change gupfiles to run tests
via `pub run test` instead.
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
BREAKING CHANGE:
`<whatever />` used to be expanded to `<whatever></whatever>`.
The parser now follows the HTML5 spec more closely.
Only void and foreign elements can be self closed.
Closes#5591
BREAKING CHANGE
End tags used to be tolerated for void elements with no content.
They are no more allowed so that we more closely follow the HTML5 spec.
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}'.
The output of the compiler has to be the same
given the same input. Requiring a unique id for
every type already during compilation makes it
hard to parallelize compilation.
Part of #3605Closes#4397
- use `$implicit` variable value correctly
- handle `ng-non-bindable` correctly
- add some more assertions to `TemplateCompiler`
- make `CompiledTemplate` const
- fix default value for `@Directive.moduleId`
- add new compiler to application bindings
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Compiler.compileInHost` and all methods of `DynamicComponentLoader` don’t take `Binding` any more, only `Type`s. This is in preparation for the new compiler which does not support this.
Part of #3605Closes#4346
- Rename `DirectiveMetadata` into `CompileDirectiveMetadata`, merge
with `NormalizedDirectiveMetadata` and remove `ChangeDetectionMetadata`
- Store change detector factories not as array but
directly at the `CompiledTemplate` or the embedded template
to make instantiation easier later on
- Already analyze variable values and map them
to `Directive.exportAs`
- Keep the directive sort order as specified in the
`@View()` annotation
- Allow to clear the runtime cache in `StyleCompiler`
and `TemplateCompiler`
- Ignore `script` elements to match the semantics of the
current compiler
- Make all components dynamically loadable and remove
the previously introduced property `@Component#dynamicLoadable`
for now until we find a better option to configure this
- Don’t allow to specify bindings in `@View#directives` and `@View#pipes` as this was never supported by the transformer (see below for the breaking change)
BREAKING CHANGE:
- don't support DI bindings in `@View#directives` and `@View@pipes` any more in preparation of integrating the new compiler. Use `@Directive#bindings` to reexport directives under a different token instead.
