This new interface will match classes whether they are abstract or
concrete. Casting as `AbstractType<MyConcrete>` will return a type that
isn't newable. This type will be used to match abstract classes in the
`get()` functions of `Injector` and `TestBed`.
Type isn't used yet so this isn't a breaking change.
Issue #26491
PR Close#29295
Provides a runtime and compile time switch for ivy including
`ApplicationRef.bootstrapModule`.
This is done by naming the symbols such that `ngcc` (angular
Compatibility compiler) can rename symbols in such a way that running
`ngcc` command will switch the `@angular/core` module from `legacy` to
`ivy` mode.
This is done as follows:
```
const someToken__PRE_NGCC__ = ‘legacy mode’;
const someToken__POST_NGCC__ = ‘ivy mode’;
export someSymbol = someToken__PRE_NGCC__;
```
The `ngcc` will search for any token which ends with `__PRE_NGCC__`
and replace it with `__POST_NGCC__`. This allows the `@angular/core`
package to be rewritten to ivy mode post `ngcc` execution.
PR Close#25238
This patch removes the deprecated support for animation
symbol imports from @angular/core.
BREAKING CHANGE: it is no longer possible to import
animation-related functions from @angular/core. All
animation symbols must now be imported from @angular/animations.
PR Close#22692
BREAKING CHANGE
It is no longer possible to declare classes in this format.
```
Component({...}).
Class({
constructor: function() {...}
})
```
This format would only work with JIT and with ES5. This mode doesn’t
allow build tools like Webpack to process and optimize the code, which
results in prohibitively large bundles. We are removing this API
because we are trying to ensure that everyone is on the fast path by
default, and it is not possible to get on the fast path using the ES5
DSL. The replacement is to use TypeScript and `@Decorator` format.
```
@Component({...})
class {
constructor() {...}
}
```
