Every decorator now is made of the following:
- a function that can be used
as a decorator or as a constructor. This function
also can be used for `instanceof` checks.
- a type for this function (callable and newable)
- a type that describes the shape of the data
that the user needs to pass to the decorator
as well as the instance of the metadata
The docs for decorators live at the followig places
so that IDEs can discover them correctly:
- General description of the decorator is placed on the
`...Decorator` interface on the callable function
definition
- Property descriptions are placed on the interface
that describes the metadata produces by the decorator
BREAKING CHANGE:
Exceptions are no longer part of the public API. We don't expect that anyone should be referring to the Exception types.
ExceptionHandler.call(exception: any, stackTrace?: any, reason?: string): void;
change to:
ErrorHandler.handleError(error: any): void;
BREAKING CHANGE: previously deprecated @Component.directives and @Component.pipes support was removed.
All the components and pipes now must be declarated via an NgModule. NgModule is the basic
compilation block passed into the Angular compiler via Compiler#compileModuleSync or #compileModuleAsync.
Because of this change, the Compiler#compileComponentAsync and #compileComponentSync were removed as well -
any code doing compilation should compile module instead using the apis mentioned above.
Lastly, since modules are the basic compilation unit, the ngUpgrade module was modified to always require
an NgModule to be passed into the UpgradeAdapter's constructor - previously this was optional.
Closes#9729
BREAKING CHANGE:
`Type` is now `Type<T>` which means that in most cases you have to
use `Type<any>` in place of `Type`.
We don't expect that any user applications use the `Type` type.
The methods on `ViewResolverMock` have been merged into `DirectiveResolver`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- ES5 users can no longer use the `View(…)` function to provide `ViewMetadata`.
This mirrors the removal of the `@View` decorator a while ago.
Part of #10043
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `@Component.precompile` was renamed to `@Component.entryComponents`
(old property still works but is deprecated)
- `ANALYZE_FOR_PRECOMPILE` was renamed to `ANALYZE_FOR_ENTRY_COMPONENTS` (no deprecations)
This contains major changes to the compiler, bootstrap of the platforms
and test environment initialization.
Main part of #10043Closes#10164
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Semantics and name of `@AppModule` (now `@NgModule`) changed quite a bit.
This is actually not breaking as `@AppModules` were not part of rc.4.
We will have detailed docs on `@NgModule` separately.
- `coreLoadAndBootstrap` and `coreBootstrap` can't be used any more (without migration support).
Use `bootstrapModule` / `bootstrapModuleFactory` instead.
- All Components listed in routes have to be part of the `declarations` of an NgModule.
Either directly on the bootstrap module / lazy loaded module, or in an NgModule imported by them.
