BREAKING CHANGES:
`ViewManager.createView` / `ViewContainerRef.create` have been split into 2 methods:
- `createHostView` which takes dynamically created bindings
- `createEmbeddedView` which takes the newly introduced `TemplateRef`
The new type `TemplateRef` is the combination of a `ProtoViewRef` and and `ElementRef`
from the same place. Use `TemplateRef` when working with embedded views in
`ng-if`, `ng-for`, ... instead of `ProtoViewRef`.
Also, `ProtoViewRef` is no more injectable, but `TemplateRef` is.
First part of #1989 to clean up manual content projection.
Closes#3114
Closes#2529
BREAKING CHANGES:
- shadow dom emulation no longer
supports the `<content>` tag. Use the new `<ng-content>` instead
(works with all shadow dom strategies).
- removed `DomRenderer.setViewRootNodes` and `AppViewManager.getComponentView`
-> use `DomRenderer.getNativeElementSync(elementRef)` and change shadow dom directly
- the `Renderer` interface has changed:
* `createView` now also has to support sub views
* the notion of a container has been removed. Instead, the renderer has
to implement methods to attach views next to elements or other views.
* a RenderView now contains multiple RenderFragments. Fragments
are used to move DOM nodes around.
Internal changes / design changes:
- Introduce notion of view fragments on render side
- DomProtoViews and DomViews on render side are merged,
AppProtoViews are not merged, AppViews are partially merged
(they share arrays with the other merged AppViews but we keep
individual AppView instances for now).
- DomProtoViews always have a `<template>` element as root
* needed for storing subviews
* we have less chunks of DOM to clone now
- remove fake ElementBinder / Bound element for root text bindings
and model them explicitly. This removes a lot of special cases we had!
- AppView shares data with nested component views
- some methods in AppViewManager (create, hydrate, dehydrate) are iterative now
* now possible as we have all child AppViews / ElementRefs already in an array!
This fixes several minor indentation issues (instanceof precendence,
type declaration specificity, template string length calculation).
This should also fix some flip-flop situations with template strings.
BREAKING CHANGE:
This change renames all instances of PipeRegistry to Pipes.
As part of this change, the former "defaultPipes" export is
now a Pipes instance, instead of a map. The map that was previously
called "defaultPipes" no longer exists, but may be accessed via
defaultPipes.config.
BREAKING CHANGES:
- rename `ElementRef.domElement` to `ElementRef.nativeElement`
- add `Renderer.getNativeElementSync` to make the app side
less dependent on the dom renderer.
- don’t use `ElementRef.nativeElement` in directives but
use the methods on `Renderer` directly.
- Removed `ElementRef.setAttribute`. Use `Renderer.setElementAttribute` instead.
Closes#2712
Last part of #2476Closes#2476
BREAKING CHANGES:
- Almost all methods in `Renderer` now take a `RenderElementRef` instead
of a `ViewRef` + `boundElementIndex`.
- These methods can be called with the `ElementRef` from the app side
directly.
Closes#2706
Related to #2476
BREAKING CHANGES:
- host actions don't take an expression as value any more but only a method name,
and assumes to get an array via the EventEmitter with the method arguments.
- Renderer.setElementProperty does not take `style.`/... prefixes any more.
Use the new methods `Renderer.setElementAttribute`, ... instead
Part of #2476Closes#2637
BREAKING CHANGE: compiler will throw on binding to non-existing properties.
Till now it was possible to have a binding to a non-existing property,
ex.: `<div [foo]="exp">`. From now on this is compilation error - any
property binding needs to have at least one associated property:
eaither on an HTML element or on any directive associated with a
given element (directives' properites need to be declared using the
`properties` field in the `@Directive` / `@Component` annotation).
Closes#2598
These wrappers are not natively understood by
ts2dart. Removing them will improve Dart2JS
compilation due to fewer megamorphic calls to List
functions.
It also makes Angular code more succinct and
improves type safety in Angular due to better type
inference of the Array component type.
This change exposed several bugs in Angular.
Closes#2472Closes#2339
BREAKING CHANGE
- `Compiler.compile` has been removed, the only way to compile
components dynamically is via `Compiler.compileInHost`
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoExistingLocation` has changed:
* renamed into `loadIntoLocation`
* will always create the host element as well
* requires an element with a variable inside of the host component view
next to which it will load new component.
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToExistingLocation` was renamed into
`DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation`
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoNewLocation` is removed
* use `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation` instead
and then move the view nodes
manually around via `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
- `AppViewManager.{create,destroy}Free{Host,Embedded}View` was removed
* use `AppViewManager.createViewInContainer` and then move the view nodes
manually around via `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
- `Renderer.detachFreeView` was removed. Use `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
to get the root nodes of a view and detach them manually.
clang-format 1.0.17 substantially improves formatting for fat arrow functions
and array literal detection. It also fixes a number of minor formatting issues.
Free embedded views are view instances that are created
logically in the same was as views of a ViewContainer,
but their dom nodes are not attached.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Renderer.detachFreeHostView` was renamed to
`Renderer.detachFreeView`
- `DomRenderer.getHostElement()` was generalized into
`DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
Usage: bootstrap the app with the special binding
`ELEMENT_PROBE_CONFIG` from `angular2/debug`.
This will provide a global method `ngProbe(element)` that
will expose a `DebugElement` with directive instances, ... on it.
During tests that use Angular's test injector, the probe is
enabled by default. The `DebugElement ` can be retrieved via the
function `inspectDomElement` of `angular2/debug`. Note
that the `TestComponentBuilder` already returns `DebugElement `s.
Closes#1992
It is possible for a class defined first to be referencing a class defined later,
and as a result at the time of the definition it is not possible to access the later's
class reference. This allows to refer to the later defined class through
a closure.Closes #1891
BREAKING CHANGE:
`AppViewManager.createInPlaceHostView` is replaced by
`AppViewManager.createRootHostView` (for bootstrap) and
`AppViewManager.createFreeHostView` (for imperative components).
The later creates new host elements that are not attached anywhere.
To attach them, use `DomRenderer.getHostElement(hostviewRef)`
to get the host element.
Closes#1920
Also consolidates metadata handling in `ElementInjector`
BREAKING CHANGE:
- renames `DirectiveMetadataReader` into `DirectiveResolver`
and removes `src/core/compiler/directive_metadata`.
Fixes#1712Fixes#1713
BREAKING CHANGE:
VmTurnZone has been renamed to NgZone.
- The public API has not chnanged,
- The "outer" zone is now named "mount" zone (private to NgZone).
Before this PR there were only 2 zones: root zone = outer zone > inner
zone.
This PR creates the outer zone as a fork of the root zone: root > outer
> inner.
By doing this it is possible to detected microtasks scheduling in the
outer zone and run the change detection less often (no more than one
time per VM turn).
The PR also introduce a Promise monkey patch for the JS implementation.
It makes Promises aware of microtasks and again allow running the change
detection only once per turn.
The goal is to make implementing a renderer straight forward.
BREAKING_CHANGE:
- Renderer interface was redone / simplified.
- `DirectDomRenderer` was replaced by `DomRenderer`.
- `DirectDomRenderer.setImperativeComponentRootNodes` is replaced
by the following 2 steps:
1. `ViewManager.getComponentView(elementRef) -> ViewRef`
2. `DomRenderer.setComponentViewRootNodes(viewRef, rootNodes)`
- all `@View` annotations need to have a template, but the template
may be empty. Previously views that had a `renderer` property did
not have to have a `template`.
- `dynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoNewLocation` does no more allow
to pass an element, but requires a css selector.
Special syntax: `:document` can be used as prefix to search globally
on the document instead of in the provided parent view.
Part of #1675
In 'angular2/di' the symbol:
- Inject is a decorator
- InjectAnnotation is an annotation
Internally one an get a hold of annotations without *Annotations appened
(to make ts2dart work without workarounds) by importing from
'angular2/src/di/annotations_impl' instead of 'angular2/di'. This is
needed only for users that transpile through TS and through ts2dart.
This removes .es6 files which are pure duplicates of a
.ts file in the same folder.
Next we need to remove .js files as well, and remove karma preprocessors for dart.
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
AppViewManager is the single entry point to changing the view hierarchy.
It is split between the manager itself which does coordination and
helper methods, so both are easily testable in isolation.
Also, ViewContainer is now only a pure reference to a bound element
with the previous functionality but does not contain the list of views
any more.
Part of #1477
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.
Add two factory static functions to Injector: resolveAndCreate and
fromResolvedBindings.
We want to avoid resolution and flattening every time we create a new
injector. This commit allows the user to cache resolved bindings and
reuse them.
Queries allow a directive to inject a live list of directives of a given
type from its LightDom. The injected list is Iterable (in JS and Dart).
It will be Observable when Observables are support in JS, for now it
maintains a simple list of onChange callbacks API.
To support queries, element injectors now maintain a list of
child injectors in the correct DOM order (dynamically updated by
viewports).
For performance reasons we allow only 3 active queries in an injector
subtree. The feature adds no overhead to the application when not
used. Queries walk the injector tree only during dynamic view
addition/removal as triggered by viewport directives.
Syncs changes between viewContainer on the render and logic sides.
Closes#792
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.
