Note, this affects the underlying class and should not affect usage.
DEPRECATION:
- the `NgFor` class is now deprecated. Use `NgForOf<T>` instead.
IMPORTANT: Only the `NgFor` class is deprecated, not the `ngFor`
directive. The `*ngFor` and related directives are unaffected by
this change as references to the `NgFor` class generated from
templates will be automatically converted to references to
`NgForOf<T>` without requiring any template modifications.
- `TrackByFn` is now deprecated. Use `TrackByFunction<T>` instead.
Migration:
- Replace direct references to the `NgFor` class to `NgForOf<any>`.
- Replace references to `TrackByFn` to `TrackByFunction<any>`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
A definition of `Iterable<T>` is now required to correctly compile
Angular applications. Support for `Iterable<T>` is not required at
runtime but a type definition `Iterable<T>` must be available.
`NgFor`, and now `NgForOf<T>`, already supports `Iterable<T>` at
runtime. With this change the type definition is updated to reflect
this support.
Migration:
- add "es2015.iterable.ts" to your tsconfig.json "libs" fields.

Correctly wire up hierarchical injectors for downgraded components in
`upgrade/static`: Downgraded components inherit the injector of the first
downgraded component up the DOM tree.
This is similar to (part of) d91a86a, but for `upgrade/static`.
POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE:
In order to enable more control over the wiring of downgraded components and
their content (which eventually allows better control over features like
injector setup and content projection), it was necessary to change the
implementation of the directives generated for downgraed components.
The directives are now terminal and manually take care of projecting and
compiling their contents in the post-linking function. This is similar to how
the dynamic version of `upgrade` does it.
This is not expected to affect apps, since the relative order of individual
operations is preserved. Still, it is difficult to predict how every possible
usecase may be affected.
This affects the dynamic version of `upgrade` and makes it more consistent with
the static version, while removing an artificial limitation.
This commit also refactors the file layout and code, in order to share code wrt
to dowgrading components between the dynamic and static versions.
This makes it more consistent with the dynamic version of `upgrade` and makes it
possible to share code between the dynamic and static versions.
This commit also refactors the file layout, moving common and dynamic-specific
files to `common/` and `dynamic/` directories respectively and renaming `aot/`
to `static/`.
Some private keys, used as AngularJS DI tokens, have also been renamed, but this
should not affect apps, since these keys are undocumented and not supposed to
be used externally.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously, `upgrade/static/downgradeInjectable` returned an array of the form:
```js
['dep1', 'dep2', ..., function factory(dep1, dep2, ...) { ... }]
```
Now it returns a function with an `$inject` property:
```js
factory.$inject = ['dep1', 'dep2', ...];
function factory(dep1, dep2, ...) { ... }
```
It shouldn't affect the behavior of apps, since both forms are equally suitable
to be used for registering AngularJS injectable services, but it is possible
that type-checking might fail or that current code breaks if it relies on the
returned value being an array.
`params` has been introduced in 4.0.0-beta.0

Make sure that context (`this`) that is passed to functions generated by test helpers is passed through to the callback functions. Enables usage of Jasmine's variable sharing system to prevent accidental memory leaks during test runs.
ReflectiveInjector previously used two strategies for resolving dependencies. These
were to support the Dart implementation, but are no longer needed. A result of this
PR is there is no longer a 20 dependency limit and the generated code is smaller.

This commit effectively reverts 7e0f02f but for `upgrade/static`
as it was an invalid fix for #6385, that created a more significant
bug, which was that changes were not always being detected.
Angular 1 digests should be run inside the ngZone to ensure
that async changes are detected.
We don't know how to fix#6385 without breaking change detection
at this stage. That issue is triggered by async operations, such as
`setTimeout`, being triggered inside scope watcher functions.
One could argue that watcher functions should be pure and not do
work such as triggering async operations. It is possible that the
original use case could be supported by moving the debounce
logic into the watch listener function, which is only called if the
watched value actually changes.

Closes#14043
There are restrictions on the character set that can be used for xmb and xtb
placeholder names.
However because changing the placeholder names would change the message IDs it
is not possible to add those restrictions to the names used internally. Then we
have to map internal name to public names when generating an xmb file and back
when translating using an xtb file.
Note for implementors of `Serializer`:
- When writing a file, the implementor should take care of converting the
internal names to public names while visiting the message nodes - this is
required because the original nodes are needed to compute the message ID.
- When reading a file, the implementor does not need to take care of the mapping
back to internal names as this is handled in the `I18nToHtmlVisitor` used by the
`TranslationBundle`.

- Introduce `InjectionToken<T>` which is a parameterized and type-safe
version of `OpaqueToken`.
DEPRECATION:
- `OpaqueToken` is now deprecated, use `InjectionToken<T>` instead.
- `Injector.get(token: any, notFoundValue?: any): any` is now deprecated
use the same method which is now overloaded as
`Injector.get<T>(token: Type<T>|InjectionToken<T>, notFoundValue?: T): T;`.
Migration
- Replace `OpaqueToken` with `InjectionToken<?>` and parameterize it.
- Migrate your code to only use `Type<?>` or `InjectionToken<?>` as
injection tokens. Using other tokens will not be supported in the
future.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Because `injector.get()` is now parameterize it is possible that code
which used to work no longer type checks. Example would be if one
injects `Foo` but configures it as `{provide: Foo, useClass: MockFoo}`.
The injection instance will be that of `MockFoo` but the type will be
`Foo` instead of `any` as in the past. This means that it was possible
to call a method on `MockFoo` in the past which now will fail type
check. See this example:
```
class Foo {}
class MockFoo extends Foo {
setupMock();
}
var PROVIDERS = [
{provide: Foo, useClass: MockFoo}
];
...
function myTest(injector: Injector) {
var foo = injector.get(Foo);
// This line used to work since `foo` used to be `any` before this
// change, it will now be `Foo`, and `Foo` does not have `setUpMock()`.
// The fix is to downcast: `injector.get(Foo) as MockFoo`.
foo.setUpMock();
}

The change avoids the compiler CLI internal API from mismatching the following case as lazy loading
```
import { NonLazyLoadedModule } from './non-lazy-loaded/non-lazy-loaded.module';
export function getNonLazyLoadedModule() { return NonLazyLoadedModule; }
export const routes = [
{ path: '/some-path', loadChildren: getNonLazyLoadedModule }
];
```
The output of the check is later passed to `RouteDef.fromString()`, so, it makes sense to be only a string.

This was done in order for us to be able to publish tsc-wrapped as @next tag on npm.
The next step is to change the build scripts to version and release @angular/tsc-wrapped
together with all the other packages. I'll create an issue/PR for this.
@angular/language-service now supports using TypeScript 2.1 as the
the TypeScript host. TypeScript 2.1 is now also partially supported
in `ngc` but is not recommended as Tsickle does not yet support 2.1.
Detailed changes:
- remove `UNINITIALIZED`, initialize change detection fields with `undefined`.
* we use `view.numberOfChecks === 0` now everywhere
as indicator whether we are in the first change detection cycle
(previously we used this only in a couple of places).
* we keep the initialization itself as change detection get slower without it.
- remove passing around `throwOnChange` in various generated calls,
and store it on the view as property instead.
- change generated code for bindings to DOM elements as follows:
Before:
```
var currVal_10 = self.context.bgColor;
if (jit_checkBinding15(self.throwOnChange,self._expr_10,currVal_10)) {
self.renderer.setElementStyle(self._el_0,'backgroundColor',((self.viewUtils.sanitizer.sanitize(jit_21,currVal_10) == null)? null: self.viewUtils.sanitizer.sanitize(jit_21,currVal_10).toString()));
self._expr_10 = currVal_10;
}
var currVal_11 = jit_inlineInterpolate16(1,' ',self.context.data.value,' ');
if (jit_checkBinding15(self.throwOnChange,self._expr_11,currVal_11)) {
self.renderer.setText(self._text_1,currVal_11);
self._expr_11 = currVal_11;
}
```,
After:
```
var currVal_10 = self.context.bgColor;
jit_checkRenderStyle14(self,self._el_0,'backgroundColor',null,self._expr_10,self._expr_10=currVal_10,false,jit_21);
var currVal_11 = jit_inlineInterpolate15(1,' ',self.context.data.value,' ');

🎄🎁🎅
With the exception of `$onChanges()`, all lifecycle hooks in ng1 are called on
the controller, regardless if it is the binding destination or not (i.e.
regardless of the value of `bindToController`).
This change makes `upgrade` mimic that behavior when calling lifecycle hooks.
Additionally, calling the `$onInit()` hook has been moved before calling the
linking functions, which also mimics the ng1 behavior.
Note: This checks the constructors of `@Injectable` classes more strictly.
E.g this will fail now as the constructor argument has no `@Inject` nor is
the type of the argument a DI token.
```
@Injectable()
class MyService {
constructor(dep: string) {}
}
```

Fix an issue in `registerForNg1Tests`, where it passes a `null` as
`ng1Injector` to `_bootstrapDone`. This causes a "TypeError: Cannot
read property 'get' of null" to be thrown from `_bootstrapDone`.
This change retracts support for metadata version 2.
The collector used to produce version 2 metadata was incomplete
and can cause the AOT compiler to fail to resolve symbols or
produce other spurious errors.
All libraries compiled and published with 2.3.0 ngc will need
to be recompiled and updated with this change.
- New method `UpgradeAdapter.registerForNg1Tests(modules)` declares the
Angular 1 upgrade module and provides it to the `angular.mock.module()`
helper.
This prevents the need to bootstrap the entire hybrid for every test.
