HttpClient is an evolution of the existing Angular HTTP API, which exists
alongside of it in a separate package, @angular/common/http. This structure
ensures that existing codebases can slowly migrate to the new API.
The new API improves significantly on the ergonomics and features of the legacy
API. A partial list of new features includes:
* Typed, synchronous response body access, including support for JSON body types
* JSON is an assumed default and no longer needs to be explicitly parsed
* Interceptors allow middleware logic to be inserted into the pipeline
* Immutable request/response objects
* Progress events for both request upload and response download
* Post-request verification & flush based testing framework
Previouly, whenever a new ServiceWorker update was detected the user was
prompted to update (with a notification). This turned out to be more distracting
than helpful. Also, one would get notifications on all open browser tabs/windows
and had to manually reload each one in order for the whole content (including
the app) to be updated.
This commit changes the update strategy as follows:
- Whenever a new update is detected, it is immediately activated (and all
tabs/windows will be notified).
- Once an update is activated (regardless of whether the activation was
initiated by the current tab/window or not), a flag will be set to do a
"full page navigation" the next time the user navigates to a document.
Benefits:
- All tabs/windows are updated asap.
- The updates are applied authomatically, without the user's needing to do
anything.
- The updates are applied in a way that:
a. Ensures that the app and content versions are always compatible.
b. Does not distract the user from their usual workflow.
NOTE:
The "full page navigation" may cause a flash (while the page is loading from
scratch), but this is expected to be minimal, since at that point almost all
necessary resources are cached by and served from the ServiceWorker.
Fixes#17539
`Object.assign` is not available in all supported browsers and one had to
provide a polyfill. This commit replaces `Object.assign` with the spread
operator (`...`), which TypeScript will transpile to ES5-compatible code.
(#17971)
This commit changes the dynamic version of ngUpgrade to use `UpgradeHelper`,
thus bringing its behavior (wrt upgraded components) much closer to
`upgrade/static`. Fixes/features include:
- Fix template compilation: Now takes place in the correct DOM context, instead
of in a detached node (thus has access to required ancestors etc).
- Fix support for the `$onInit()` lifecycle hook.
- Fix single-slot transclusion (including optional transclusion and fallback
content).
- Add support for multi-slot transclusion (inclusing optional slots and fallback
content).
- Add support for binding required controllers to the directive's controller
(and make the `require` behavior more consistent with AngularJS).
- Add support for pre-/post-linking functions.
(This also ports the fixes from #16627 to the dynamic version.)
Fixes#11044
(#17971)
Although, pre- and post-linking functions are correctly called during directive
linking, directives with `link.post` would throw an error. Interestingly, having
`link.pre` only or defining `link: fn` (which is an alias for `link.post: fn`)
would not throw.
This commit removes this check and allows directives with pre- and/or
post-linking functions to work.
Previously, only simple, single-slot transclusion worked on upgraded components.
This commit fixes/adds support for the following:
- Multi-slot transclusion.
- Using fallback content when no transclusion content is provided.
- Destroy unused scope (when using fallback content).
Fixes#13271
Firebase does not allow `.` in the path, so when trying to upload payload size
data for branches like `4.2.x`, the following error is thrown:
```
HTTP Error: 400, Invalid path: Invalid token in path
```
This commit fixes it by replacing `.` with `_` in branch names.
There have been some issues lately with Travis jobs failing due to
`print-log.sh`. This is likely due to trying to print the Lighthouse PWA report,
which is too large.
This commit stops printing that report (since it was rarely used and is pretty
easy to acquire when needed) and restores the `print-logs.sh` script (that was
temporarily removed with dfcca66fd).
closes#17665
Restores keyboard focus that was removed by commit b8b91d3.
Raises the right-TOC by 20px (96px->76px) because was too far down.
To prevent keyboard focus on hidden child nodes,
also collapses inner expanded nodes when parent node is collapsed.
The implicit parent node of top nodes is always expanded.
The window title is derived based on the current document's `<h1>` heading. Such
headings may contain hidden/non-visible content (e.g. textual name of font
ligatures: `<i class="material-icons">link</i>`) that should not be included in
the title.
This commit fixes this by using `innerText` (instead of `textContent`) to
extract the visible text from the `<h1>` heading. It will still fall back to
`textContent` on browsers that do not support `innerText` (e.g. Firefox 44).
