- 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();
}
```
PR Close#13785
- remove outer `<div>` in tests,
- use `<ng-container>` instead of `<template>` where possible,
- use *... instead of template (tag or attr) where possible.
Fixes#13816
This improves ergonomics a bit by allowing people to write:
`<label [for]="ctxProp"></label>`.
This is similar to the existing class -> className mapping.
Closes#7516
Previously, if a `TemplateRef` was created in a `ViewContainerRef`
at a different place, the content was not query able at all.
With this change, the content of the template can be queried
as if it was stamped out at the declaration place of the template.
E.g. in the following example, the `QueryList<ChildCmp>` will
be filled once the button is clicked.
```
@Component({
selector: ‘my-comp’,
template: ‘<button #vc (click)=“createView()”></button>’
})
class MyComp {
@ContentChildren(ChildCmp)
children: QueryList<ChildCmp>;
@ContentChildren(TemplateRef)
template: TemplateRef;
@ViewChild(‘vc’, {read: ViewContainerRef})
vc: ViewContainerRef;
createView() {
this.vc.createEmbeddedView(this.template);
}
}
@Component({
template: `
<my-comp>
<template><child-cmp></child-cmp></template>
</my-comp>
`
})
class App {}
```

BREAKING CHANGE:
- all `…Metadata` classes have been removed. Use the corresponding decorator
as constructor or for `instanceof` checks instead.
- Example:
* Before: `new ComponentMetadata(…)`
* After: `new Component(…)`
- Note: `new Component(…)` worked before as well.
When lazily loading code, users need to be able to get hold of the
NgModuleFactory. For SystemJS environments, the SystemJS registry serves
this purpose. However other environments, such as modules compiled with
Closure compiler, do not expose exports object or a path based registry.
For these environments, `@NgModule` objects can include an identifier, and
the loading code can then pass `loadModule(id).then(() =>
getNgModule(id))` to the router.
closes#11145
Also rename `CompileIdentifierMetadata.runtime` into `CompileIdentifierMetadata.reference`.
Also remove `CompileIdentifierMetadata.equalsTo` as
now it is enough to just check the `reference` fields for equality.
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;
