It is possible for a class defined first to be referencing a class defined later,
and as a result at the time of the definition it is not possible to access the later's
class reference. This allows to refer to the later defined class through
a closure.Closes #1891
BREAKING CHANGE:
`AppViewManager.createInPlaceHostView` is replaced by
`AppViewManager.createRootHostView` (for bootstrap) and
`AppViewManager.createFreeHostView` (for imperative components).
The later creates new host elements that are not attached anywhere.
To attach them, use `DomRenderer.getHostElement(hostviewRef)`
to get the host element.
Closes#1920
Also consolidates metadata handling in `ElementInjector`
BREAKING CHANGE:
- renames `DirectiveMetadataReader` into `DirectiveResolver`
and removes `src/core/compiler/directive_metadata`.
Fixes#1712Fixes#1713
BREAKING CHANGE:
VmTurnZone has been renamed to NgZone.
- The public API has not chnanged,
- The "outer" zone is now named "mount" zone (private to NgZone).
Before this PR there were only 2 zones: root zone = outer zone > inner
zone.
This PR creates the outer zone as a fork of the root zone: root > outer
> inner.
By doing this it is possible to detected microtasks scheduling in the
outer zone and run the change detection less often (no more than one
time per VM turn).
The PR also introduce a Promise monkey patch for the JS implementation.
It makes Promises aware of microtasks and again allow running the change
detection only once per turn.
The async pipe in templates will now delegate to both Observable pipe or Promise pipe,
whichever first says it can support the input. Therefore, it's beneficial to disambiguate
the name of the AsyncPipe/AsyncPipeFactory constructors to reflect that these actually
support only Observables.
Update the `TemplateCompile` step to use the full render `Compiler`.
Provide `DirectiveMetadata` for `ViewDefinition` objects and use it to
run the `DirectiveParser` step of the render compile pipeline.
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
Using string1 === string2 translates to identical(string1, string2) in
dart, which is incorrect as it is possilbe for dart strings to have
different reference.
Add a step that reads `DirectiveMetadata` object off annotated classes
into `.ng_meta.dart` files. These will be used by the `TemplateCompiler`
step as inputs to the Angular 2 render compiler.
Update one test to avoid unsupported functionality, format others.
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.
This removes .es6 files which are pure duplicates of a
.ts file in the same folder.
Next we need to remove .js files as well, and remove karma preprocessors for dart.
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
Add utility methods to convert `render.dom.DirectiveMetadata` to and
from maps. This will allow saving and restoring `DirectiveMetadata` in
the Angular 2 Transformer.
We discussed adding this as a member on `DirectiveMetadata`. Since this
is not necessary for anything except the Transformer, we decided to put
it into a separate file to avoid shipping it with the Angular 2 core
code.
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
Add two transform parameters to aid in debugging the transformer
- `mirror_mode`, with values {`debug`, `none`, and `verbose`}
- `init_reflector`, with values {`true`, `false`}
`mirror_mode`:
- `debug`: Allow reflective access, but log a message if it is used
- `none`: Remove reflective access, `throw` if it is used. Default value
- `verbose`: Allow reflective access, log a stack trace if it is used
`init_reflector`: Whether to generate calls to our generated
`initReflector` code.
These will be useful to reveal areas where the transformer is not generating
appropriate code and to quickly see where reflective accesses occur.
When the pub mode is `transform_dynamic`, we run in MirrorMode.debug
with `init_reflector = false`. This is used for testing purposes.
Previously, light dom nodes that were not used by any content tag
were not removed from a view on redistribute. This lead
to a bug when reusing a view from the view pool, as it
still contained stale reprojected nodes.
Fixes#1416
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.
Create a method that recursively walks imports from an entry point and
determines where classes are registered.
Use this information to determine if a particular annotation implements or
extends Injectable or Template.
