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.
This implementation only works in JavaScript, while the Observable transpilation
story gets worked out. Right now, the service just makes a simple request,
and returns an Observable of Response.
Additional functionality will be captured in separate issues.
Fixes#2028
But do it during the build process for cjs.
Right now we only need this when we transpile from ts
directly to es5. This is only the case in our
cis build, as for our browser build we only transpile
from ts to es6 via ts and then use traceur to do
the rest.
Adds a gulp task which builds the .ts files (in the cjs build only).
The new files have extension .ts since they are now valid typescript.
Unfortunately until Typescript can emit System.require, we have to keep the old .es6 version
so traceur works inside the Karma preprocessor. This should be fixed soon.
