The new view engine allows our codegen to produce less code,
as it can interpret view definitions during runtime.
The view engine is not feature complete yet, but already
allows to implement a tree benchmark based on it.
Part of #14013
Detailed changes:
- remove `UNINITIALIZED`, initialize change detection fields with `undefined`.
* we use `view.numberOfChecks === 0` now everywhere
as indicator whether we are in the first change detection cycle
(previously we used this only in a couple of places).
* we keep the initialization itself as change detection get slower without it.
- remove passing around `throwOnChange` in various generated calls,
and store it on the view as property instead.
- change generated code for bindings to DOM elements as follows:
Before:
```
var currVal_10 = self.context.bgColor;
if (jit_checkBinding15(self.throwOnChange,self._expr_10,currVal_10)) {
self.renderer.setElementStyle(self._el_0,'backgroundColor',((self.viewUtils.sanitizer.sanitize(jit_21,currVal_10) == null)? null: self.viewUtils.sanitizer.sanitize(jit_21,currVal_10).toString()));
self._expr_10 = currVal_10;
}
var currVal_11 = jit_inlineInterpolate16(1,' ',self.context.data.value,' ');
if (jit_checkBinding15(self.throwOnChange,self._expr_11,currVal_11)) {
self.renderer.setText(self._text_1,currVal_11);
self._expr_11 = currVal_11;
}
```,
After:
```
var currVal_10 = self.context.bgColor;
jit_checkRenderStyle14(self,self._el_0,'backgroundColor',null,self._expr_10,self._expr_10=currVal_10,false,jit_21);
var currVal_11 = jit_inlineInterpolate15(1,' ',self.context.data.value,' ');
jit_checkRenderText16(self,self._text_1,self._expr_11,self._expr_11=currVal_11,false);
```
Performance impact:
- None seen (checked against internal latency lab)
Part of #13651
- add ng2_switch benchmark to track `ngFor` over `ngSwitch`
- measure create only, createDestroy and update
- simplify the created dom
- always add a style binding
The methods on `ViewResolverMock` have been merged into `DirectiveResolver`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- ES5 users can no longer use the `View(…)` function to provide `ViewMetadata`.
This mirrors the removal of the `@View` decorator a while ago.
Introduces `ref-` to give a name to an element or a directive (also works for `<template>` elements), and `let-` to introduce an input variable for a `<template>` element.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `#...` now always means `ref-`.
- `<template #abc>` now defines a reference to the TemplateRef, instead of an input variable used inside of the template.
- `#...` inside of a *ngIf, … directives is deprecated.
Use `let …` instead.
- `var-...` is deprecated. Replace with `let-...` for `<template>` elements and `ref-` for non `<template>` elements.
Closes#7158Closes#8264
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Injector was renamed into `ReflectiveInjector`,
as `Injector` is only an abstract class with one method on it
- `Injector.getOptional()` was changed into `Injector.get(token, notFoundValue)`
to make implementing injectors simpler
- `ViewContainerRef.createComponent` now takes an `Injector`
instead of `ResolvedProviders`. If a reflective injector
should be used, create one before calling this method.
(e.g. via `ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate(…)`.
This adds the feature for `@ViewChild`/`@ViewChildren`/`@ContentChild`/`@ContentChildren` to define what to read from the queried element.
E.g. `@ViewChild(`someVar`, read: ViewContainerRef)` will locate the element with a variable `someVar` on it and return a `ViewContainerRef` for it.
Background: With this change, Angular knows exactly at which elements there will be `ViewConainerRef`s as the user has to ask explicitly of them. This simplifies codegen and will make converting Angular templates into server side templates simpler as well.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoLocation` has been removed. Use `@ViewChild(‘myVar’, read: ViewContainerRef)` to get hold of a `ViewContainerRef` at an element with variable `myVar`.
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation` now takes a `ViewContainerRef` instead of an `ElementRef`.
- `AppViewManager` is renamed into `ViewUtils` and is a mere private utility service.
Each compile template now exposes a `<CompName>NgFactory` variable
with an instance of a `ComponentFactory`.
Calling `ComponentFactory.create` returns a `ComponentRef` that can
be used directly.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Compiler` is renamed to `ComponentResolver`,
`Compiler.compileInHost` has been renamed to `ComponentResolver.resolveComponent`.
- `ComponentRef.dispose` is renamed to `ComponentRef.destroy`
- `ViewContainerRef.createHostView` is renamed to `ViewContainerRef.createComponent`
- `ComponentFixture_` has been removed, the class `ComponentFixture`
can now be created directly as it is no more using private APIs.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Renderer:
* renderComponent method is removed form `Renderer`, only present on `RootRenderer`
* Renderer.setDebugInfo is removed. Renderer.createElement / createText / createTemplateAnchor
now take the DebugInfo directly.
- Query semantics:
* Queries don't work with dynamically loaded components.
* e.g. for router-outlet: loaded components can't be queries via @ViewQuery,
but router-outlet emits an event `activate` now that emits the activated component
- Exception classes and the context inside changed (renamed fields)
- DebugElement.attributes is an Object and not a Map in JS any more
- ChangeDetectorGenConfig was renamed into CompilerConfig
- AppViewManager.createEmbeddedViewInContainer / AppViewManager.createHostViewInContainer
are removed, use the methods in ViewContainerRef instead
- Change detection order changed:
* 1. dirty check component inputs
* 2. dirty check content children
* 3. update render nodes
Closes#6301Closes#6567
Update the Angular 2 transformer to recognize
`package:angular2/platform/browser.dart` as the library which exports
the `bootstrap` function.
Update playground, examples, benchmarks, & tests to import bootstrap from
platform/browser.
Closes#7647
TL;DR: Modify pubspec.yaml files to use the recommended "targeted"
transformers. The unified "simple" angular2 transformer still works as
always, but we want to encourage use of the targeted transformers
whereever possible.
See [the wiki](https://github.com/angular/angular/wiki/Advanced-Transformer-Configuration)
for details about targeted transformers.
See #1872
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Platform pipes can only contain types and arrays of types,
but no bindings any more.
- When using transformers, platform pipes need to be specified explicitly
in the pubspec.yaml via the new config option
`platform_pipes`.
- `Compiler.compileInHost` now returns a `HostViewFactoryRef`
- Component view is not yet created when component constructor is called.
-> use `onInit` lifecycle callback to access the view of a component
- `ViewRef#setLocal` has been moved to new type `EmbeddedViewRef`
- `internalView` is gone, use `EmbeddedViewRef.rootNodes` to access
the root nodes of an embedded view
- `renderer.setElementProperty`, `..setElementStyle`, `..setElementAttribute` now
take a native element instead of an ElementRef
- `Renderer` interface now operates on plain native nodes,
instead of `RenderElementRef`s or `RenderViewRef`s
Closes#5993
All common directives, forms, and pipes have been moved out of angular2/core,
but we kept reexporting them to make transition easier.
This commit removes the reexports.
BREAKING CHANGE
Before
import {NgIf} from 'angular2/core';
After
import {NgIf} from 'angular2/common';
Closes#5362
Currently, core depends on DomRenderer, which depends on the browser.
This means that if you depend on angular2/core, you will always
pull in the browser dom adapter and the browser render, regardless
if you need them or not.
This PR moves the browser dom adapter and the browser renderer out of core.
BREAKING CHANGE
If you import browser adapter or dom renderer directly (not via angular2/core),
you will have to change the import path.
This is part of ongoing work to make core platform-independent.
BREAKING CHANGE
All private exports from 'angular2/src/core/facade/{lang,collection,exception_handler}' should be replaced with 'angular2/src/facade/{lang,collection,exception_handler}'.
- fixes wrapping for object literal keys called `template`.
- spacing in destructuring expressions.
- changes to keep trailing return types of functions closer to their
function declaration.
- better formatting of string literals.
Closes#4828
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Removes `ChangeDetection`, use a binding for `ChangeDetectorGenConfig` instead
to configure change detection.
- `RenderElementRef.renderBoundElementIndex` was renamed to `RenderElementRef.boundElementIndex`.
- Removes `ViewLoader`, use `XHRImpl` instead.
Closes#3605
BREAKING CHANGE:
- we don't mark an element as bound any more if it only contains text bindings
E.g. <div>{{hello}}</div>
This changes the indices when using `DebugElement.componentViewChildren` / `DebugElement.children`.
- `@Directive.compileChildren` was removed,
`ng-non-bindable` is now builtin and not a directive any more
- angular no more adds the `ng-binding` class to elements with bindings
- directives are now ordered as they are listed in the View.directives regarding change detection.
Previously they had an undefined order.
- the `Renderer` interface has new methods `createProtoView` and `registerComponentTemplate`. See `DomRenderer` for default implementations.
- reprojection with `ng-content` is now all or nothing per `ng-content` element
- angular2 transformer can't be used in tests that modify directive metadata.
Use `angular2/src/transform/inliner_for_test` transformer instead.
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
BREAKING CHANGE:
Instead of configuring pipes via a Pipes object, now you can configure them by providing the pipes property to the View decorator.
@Pipe({
name: 'double'
})
class DoublePipe {
transform(value, args) { return value * 2; }
}
@View({
template: '{{ 10 | double}}'
pipes: [DoublePipe]
})
class CustomComponent {}
Closes#3572
This requires delicate handling of type definitions which collide, because
we use TypeScript-provided lib.d.ts for --target=es5 and lib.es6.d.ts for
--target=es6.
We need to include our polyfill typings only in the --target=es5 case,
and the usages have to be consistent with lib.es6.d.ts.
Also starting with this change we now typecheck additional modules,
so this fixes a bunch of wrong typings which were never checked before.
Fixes#3178
Introduces the injectable `TemplateCloner` that can be configured via the new token `MAX_IN_MEMORY_ELEMENTS_PER_TEMPLATE_TOKEN`.
Also replaces `document.adoptNode` with `document.importNode` as otherwise
custom elements are not triggered in chrome 43.
Closes#3418Closes#3433
Move fields common to Dynamic, Jit, and Pregen change detectors into the
`AbstractChangeDetector` superclass to save on codegen size and reduce
code duplication.
Update to #3248, closes#3243
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 CHANGES:
Dart applications and TypeScript applications meant to transpile to Dart must now
import `package:angular2/bootstrap.dart` instead of `package:angular2/angular2.dart`
in their bootstrap code. `package:angular2/angular2.dart` no longer export the
bootstrap function. The transformer rewrites imports of `bootstrap.dart` and calls
to `bootstrap` to `bootstrap_static.dart` and `bootstrapStatic` respectively.
Static binary component tree of depth 10, i.e. 1024 components.
Current numbers for `pureScriptTime` are:
JavaScript:
Baseline: 27.10+-9%
Ng2: 26.84+-8%
Ng1: 55.30+-14%
Dart:
Baseline: 30.13+-4%
Ng2: 45.94+-3%
Ng1: 128.88+-10%
I.e. in JS we are same speed as baseline right now!
Some background: We had a recent change in the compiler that merges components into their parents already during compilation (#2529). This made Ng2 2x faster in this benchmark (before the Ng2 JS time was 49.59+-14%ms).
Closes#3196
BREAKING CHANGE: compiler will throw on binding to non-existing properties.
Till now it was possible to have a binding to a non-existing property,
ex.: `<div [foo]="exp">`. From now on this is compilation error - any
property binding needs to have at least one associated property:
eaither on an HTML element or on any directive associated with a
given element (directives' properites need to be declared using the
`properties` field in the `@Directive` / `@Component` annotation).
Closes#2598
These wrappers are not natively understood by
ts2dart. Removing them will improve Dart2JS
compilation due to fewer megamorphic calls to List
functions.
It also makes Angular code more succinct and
improves type safety in Angular due to better type
inference of the Array component type.
This change exposed several bugs in Angular.
Closes#2472Closes#2339
BREAKING CHANGE
- `Compiler.compile` has been removed, the only way to compile
components dynamically is via `Compiler.compileInHost`
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoExistingLocation` has changed:
* renamed into `loadIntoLocation`
* will always create the host element as well
* requires an element with a variable inside of the host component view
next to which it will load new component.
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToExistingLocation` was renamed into
`DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation`
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoNewLocation` is removed
* use `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation` instead
and then move the view nodes
manually around via `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
- `AppViewManager.{create,destroy}Free{Host,Embedded}View` was removed
* use `AppViewManager.createViewInContainer` and then move the view nodes
manually around via `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
- `Renderer.detachFreeView` was removed. Use `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
to get the root nodes of a view and detach them manually.
Enable pregenerated (for Dart) and JIT (for Js) change detectors when
possible. Previously we would always use `DynamicChangeDetector`s, but
these cause megamorphic calls and are therefore much slower.
Closes#502
- Modify change detectors to `throw` when attempting to detect changes
on a dehydrated detector.
- Modify `DynamicChagneDetector` to use `null` for the `context` of a
dehydrated detector.
clang-format 1.0.17 substantially improves formatting for fat arrow functions
and array literal detection. It also fixes a number of minor formatting issues.
Update the compile benchmark to allow the Dart transformer to properly
generate the getters, setters, & methods needed.
This also improves the method of duplicating the source templates,
further decreasing runtime from ~5s to ~2s.
Also consolidates metadata handling in `ElementInjector`
BREAKING CHANGE:
- renames `DirectiveMetadataReader` into `DirectiveResolver`
and removes `src/core/compiler/directive_metadata`.
Fixes#1712Fixes#1713
The goal is to make implementing a renderer straight forward.
BREAKING_CHANGE:
- Renderer interface was redone / simplified.
- `DirectDomRenderer` was replaced by `DomRenderer`.
- `DirectDomRenderer.setImperativeComponentRootNodes` is replaced
by the following 2 steps:
1. `ViewManager.getComponentView(elementRef) -> ViewRef`
2. `DomRenderer.setComponentViewRootNodes(viewRef, rootNodes)`
- all `@View` annotations need to have a template, but the template
may be empty. Previously views that had a `renderer` property did
not have to have a `template`.
- `dynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoNewLocation` does no more allow
to pass an element, but requires a css selector.
Special syntax: `:document` can be used as prefix to search globally
on the document instead of in the provided parent view.
Part of #1675
In 'angular2/di' the symbol:
- Inject is a decorator
- InjectAnnotation is an annotation
Internally one an get a hold of annotations without *Annotations appened
(to make ts2dart work without workarounds) by importing from
'angular2/src/di/annotations_impl' instead of 'angular2/di'. This is
needed only for users that transpile through TS and through ts2dart.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously, `Directive` was the abstract base class of several directives.
Now, `Directive` is the former `Decorator`, and `Component` inherits from it.
BREAKING_CHANGE:
- The special type of `Viewport` directives is removed
in favor of a more general `Decorator` directive
- `ViewContainerRef` now no more has a default `ProtoViewRef`
but requires an explicit one when creating views.
Closes#1536
BREAKING CHANGES:
- `NgElement` merged into `ElementRef`
- `Compiler.compile…` returns `ProtoViewRef`
- `ViewContainer` uses `ProtoViewRef`s and `ViewRef`s.
- `ViewRef`/`ProtoViewRef` in renderer were renamed to
`RenderViewRef`/`RenderProtoViewRef`.
Related to #1477Closes#1592
AppViewManager is the single entry point to changing the view hierarchy.
It is split between the manager itself which does coordination and
helper methods, so both are easily testable in isolation.
Also, ViewContainer is now only a pure reference to a bound element
with the previous functionality but does not contain the list of views
any more.
Part of #1477
Major changes:
- `compiler.compileRoot(el, type)`
-> `compiler.compileInHost(type) + viewHydrator.hydrateHostViewInPlace(el, view)`
- move all `hydrate`/`dehydrate` methods out of `View` and `ViewContainer` into
a standalone class `view_hydrator` as private methods and provide new public
methods dedicated to the individual use cases.
Note: This PR does not change the current functionality, only moves it
into different places.
See design discussion in #1351, in preparation for imperative views.
Add two factory static functions to Injector: resolveAndCreate and
fromResolvedBindings.
We want to avoid resolution and flattening every time we create a new
injector. This commit allows the user to cache resolved bindings and
reuse them.
Introduces angular2/src/core/compiler/ViewFactory which
extracts ProtoView.instantiate and replaces ViewPool.
Note: This is a work in progress commit to unblock other commits.
There will be follow ups to add unit tests, remove TODOs, …
- Allow pub (build|serve) to specify mode
- Update pubbuild.js & pubserve.js to allow the caller to provide a `mode` value.
- Update settings to allow the di benchmark to be transformed to run statically.
We do this as we are seeing flakes in Chrome with ECONNREFUSED.
Also reuses the same browser window.
Also reenables the infinite scroll benchmark
Closes#1137
Now, running protractor configs by default only runs e2e tests. If
the --benchmark flag is added, it runs only the perf tests, and always
restarts the browser in between tests. If the --dryrun test is added,
the perf tests are run only once.
This should make it easier to run perf tests versus example e2e tests,
and help stabilize the travis build because perf tests always
run with a clean browser.
The `e2e_test` folder in `angular2` never contained e2e tests but was
used to store utilities for writing e2e/perf tests. A better place for
them is `angular2/src/test_lib`.
