HttpClient is an evolution of the existing Angular HTTP API, which exists
alongside of it in a separate package, @angular/common/http. This structure
ensures that existing codebases can slowly migrate to the new API.
The new API improves significantly on the ergonomics and features of the legacy
API. A partial list of new features includes:
* Typed, synchronous response body access, including support for JSON body types
* JSON is an assumed default and no longer needs to be explicitly parsed
* Interceptors allow middleware logic to be inserted into the pipeline
* Immutable request/response objects
* Progress events for both request upload and response download
* Post-request verification & flush based testing framework
`Object.assign` is not available in all supported browsers and one had to
provide a polyfill. This commit replaces `Object.assign` with the spread
operator (`...`), which TypeScript will transpile to ES5-compatible code.
(#17971)
This commit changes the dynamic version of ngUpgrade to use `UpgradeHelper`,
thus bringing its behavior (wrt upgraded components) much closer to
`upgrade/static`. Fixes/features include:
- Fix template compilation: Now takes place in the correct DOM context, instead
of in a detached node (thus has access to required ancestors etc).
- Fix support for the `$onInit()` lifecycle hook.
- Fix single-slot transclusion (including optional transclusion and fallback
content).
- Add support for multi-slot transclusion (inclusing optional slots and fallback
content).
- Add support for binding required controllers to the directive's controller
(and make the `require` behavior more consistent with AngularJS).
- Add support for pre-/post-linking functions.
(This also ports the fixes from #16627 to the dynamic version.)
Fixes#11044
(#17971)
Although, pre- and post-linking functions are correctly called during directive
linking, directives with `link.post` would throw an error. Interestingly, having
`link.pre` only or defining `link: fn` (which is an alias for `link.post: fn`)
would not throw.
This commit removes this check and allows directives with pre- and/or
post-linking functions to work.
Previously, only simple, single-slot transclusion worked on upgraded components.
This commit fixes/adds support for the following:
- Multi-slot transclusion.
- Using fallback content when no transclusion content is provided.
- Destroy unused scope (when using fallback content).
Fixes#13271
- /deep/ is deprecated and being removed from Chrome
- >>> is semantically invalid in a stylesheet
- sass will no longer support either in any version of sass
-> use ::ng-deep in emulated shadow DOM mode
Because the deep combinator is deprecated in the CSS spec,
`/deep/`, `>>>` and `::ng-deep` are also deprecated in emulated shadow DOM mode
and will be removed in the future.

Destructuring of the form:
function foo({a, b}: {a?, b?} = {})
breaks strictNullChecks, due to the TypeScript bug https://github.com/microsoft/typescript/issues/10078.
This change eliminates usage of destructuring in function argument lists in cases where it would leak
into the public API .d.ts.
toString() from DefaultKeyValueDiffer is only used in tests and should not
be part of the production code. toString() methods from differs add
~ 0.3KB (min+gzip) to the production bundle size.
With 4.2, we introduced the min and max validator directives. This was actually a breaking change because their selectors could include custom value accessors using the min/max properties for their own purposes.
For now, we are rolling back the change by removing the exports. At the least, we should wait to add them until a major version. In the meantime, we will have further discussion about what the best solution is going forward for all validator directives.
Closes#17491.
----
PR #17551 tried to roll this back, but did not remove the dead code. This failed internal tests that were checking that all declared directives were used.
This PR rolls back the original PR and commit the same as #17551 while also removing the dead code.
