This implementation only works in JavaScript, while the Observable transpilation
story gets worked out. Right now, the service just makes a simple request,
and returns an Observable of Response.
Additional functionality will be captured in separate issues.
Fixes#2028
Previously we assumed that all input and ouput paths for broccoli trees are immutable, that turned out to be
incorrect.
By adding a tree stabilizer plugin in front of each diffing plugin, we ensure that the input trees
are stable. The stabilization is done via symlinks which is super cheap on platforms that support
symlinks. On Windows we currently copy the whole input directory, which is far from ideal. We should
investagate if using move operation on Windows is ok in the future to improve performance.
Closes#2051
Update the `TemplateCompile` step to use the full render `Compiler`.
Provide `DirectiveMetadata` for `ViewDefinition` objects and use it to
run the `DirectiveParser` step of the render compile pipeline.
tree-differ:
- export both TreeDiffer and DiffResult interface
diffing-broccoli-plugin:
- factory class for wrapping DiffingBroccoliPlugins and turning them into BroccoliTrees
broccoli-dest-copy:
- refactor into DiffingBroccoliPlugin
broccoli-traceur:
- refactor into DiffingBroccoliPlugin
Previously, karma used a custom preprocessor. Instead, have karma
run built dart from the `dist` folder and use gulp and broccoli
to watch for changes.
