This change adds a syntax for bootstrapping Angular on a page that allows more fine-grained control of the hierarchy created. platform() creates a platform injector (of which there can only be one). From the platform, .application() creates an Angular application including a Zone and all specified application bindings (e.g. for the DOM, HTTP, Compiler, Renderer, etc). At the application level, .bootstrap() will bootstrap the given component into that application.
Closes#3852
This change moves many APIs to the angular2/core export.
This change also automatically adds FORM_BINDINGS in
the application root injector.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Many dependencies that were previously exported from specific
APIs are now exported from angular2/core. Affected exports, which
should now be included from angular2/core include:
angular2/forms
angular2/di
angular2/directives
angular2/change_detection
angular2/bootstrap (except for dart users)
angular2/render
angular2/metadata
angular2/debug
angular2/pipes
Closes#3977
BREAKING CHANGE (maybe)
Well as long as our customers use public API this should not be a
breaking change, but we have changed import structure as well as
internal names, so it could be breaking.
import:
angular2/annotations => angular2/metadata
Classes:
*Annotations => *Metadata
renderer.DirectiveMetadata => renderer.RendererDirectiveMetadata
renderer.ElementBinder => renderer.RendererElementBinder
impl.Directive => impl.DirectiveMetadata
impl.Component => impl.ComponentMetadata
impl.View => impl.ViewMetadata
Closes#3660
LifeCycle can now be imported via angular2/angular2 or
angular2/core, so that end users can inject it without
having to use the full source path.
Closes#3395
BREAKING CHANGES:
- `ShadowDomStrategy` was removed. To specify the encapsulation of a component use `@View(encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.NONE | ViewEncapsulation.EMULATED | ViewEncapsulation.NATIVE)`
- The default encapsulation strategy is now `ViewEncapsulation.EMULATED` if a component contains styles and `ViewEncapsulation.NONE` if it does not. Before this was always `NONE`.
- `ViewLoader` now returns the template as a string and the styles as a separate array
BREAKING CHANGE
Previously it was possible to pass a custom error reporter to bootstrap, which was used only during the construction of Injector. This had limited utility, so this capability has been removed.
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!
