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
`flush()` can now be used from within fakeAsync tests to simulate moving
time forward until all macrotask events have been cleared from the
event queue.
Update tsickle to version 0.21.6 which fixes a bug where input source maps which specified filenames differently than the names supplied to tsc didn't get composed with tsc's source maps. Also adds a test that the bug was fixed.
Previous to 2.x there were some source maps distrubted, but they didn't go
all the way back to the TypeScript sources and they weren't available for
all JavaScript distrubted to NPM.
With this change source maps will be available for FESM distributions as
well as UMD and will go all the way back to TypeScript sources.
Fixes#15184
TypeScript compiler will now build to ES2015 code and modules. Babili is used to minify ES2015
code, providing an initial optimization that we couldn't previously get just from Uglify. Uses
Babel to convert ES2015 to UMD/ES5 code, and Uglify to minimize the output.
This change installs HttpModule with ServerModule, and overrides bindings to
service Http requests made from the server with the 'xhr2' NPM package.
Outgoing requests are wrapped in a Zone macro-task, so they will be tracked
within the Angular zone and cause the isStable API to show 'false' until they
return. This is essential for Universal support of server-side HTTP.
Tsickle transforms typescript code, which can change the location of code.
This can cause issues such as runtime stack traces reporting that errors
were raised on the incorrect line in the orginal source. This change replaces
the DecoratorDownlevelCompilerHost and the TsickleCompilerHost with tsickle's
TsickleCompilerHost, which automatically composes tsickle's source maps with
typescript's source maps, so that line numbers are correctly reported at
runtime.
PR Close#14150
* feat: add an env for testing closure builds
* build(npm): add dev dependency on yarn (and remove dev props for readability)
* build: refactor integration test runner
Now that rxjs is stable and the rxjs team follows semver, we can update and unpin the dependency safely.
From now on the Angular application/library developers are in charge of controlling the rxjs version as long as it's newer than 5.0.1.
