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`.
Closes#855
Export files are now directly under the module folder,
e.g. `core/core.js`. With this, an import like `core/core`
won’t need a path mapping (e.g. via `System.paths`) any more.
This adds the `src` folder to all other import statements as well.
modules/angular has no implementation, but depends on all the pieces
that make angular - core, di, directives, etc. It is the package that
all client apps will depend on.
Event emitters can be injected into Directives. Event emitters take over
browser events with the same name. Emitted events do not bubble. Event
emitters can be injected even if there is no corresponding callback in
the template.
Use as follows:
@Decorator(...)
class MyDec(@EventEmitter('click') clickEmitter) {
...
fireClick() {
var eventData = {...};
this._clickEmitter(eventData);
}
}
- adds console and cloud reporter (via Google BigQuery).
- makes parameters of tests explicit and modifiable.
- removes `detect` and `ignoreGc` mode from benchpress
as these can result in unstable numbers.
Shows the metrics:
script, render, gcAmount, gcAmountInScript, gcTime
Run modes:
- detect: auto detect whether to force gc
- forceGc: forces a gc before every run and ignores no runs
- noGcInScript: ignore runs that have gc while a script was executing
- plain: does not force gc nor ignore runs
Closes#368
Major changes:
- make API more reusable
- format output nicely
- only force gc if needed
Regarding forcing gc:
Forcing gc can change script execution time.
We now don't force gc at first and ignore results where gc happens during script execution.
When we ignored too many results, we switch to forcing gc.
Closes#339
- use performance log of chromedriver / appium to get timeline data
for calculating metrics for benchmarks
- change all benchmarks to be made of a standalone application
and a protractor test that collectes timeline data
- fix and simplify benchmarks
- add dart2js to build
- remove benchpress
Closes#330
simplify:
- use same html file for dart and JS
- build benchmarks automatically when doing `gulp build`
- centralize configuration
modularize:
- move all build tasks into separate node.js modules under
`tools/build`.
changes:
- the `build` folder is now the `dist` folder
Closes#284
This used to be valid code:
```
class Foo {
constructor() {
this.bar = ‘string’;
}
}
```
This will now fail since ‘bar’ is not explicitly
defined as a field. We now have to write:
```
class Foo {
bar:string; // << REQUIRED
constructor() {
this.bar = ‘string’;
}
}
```
Adds `benchmarks/benchpress` module and adjusts the compiler
benchmarks to use it. Also adds the Angular 1.3 benchmark
to the compiler benchmarks.
Closes#202
- Allow to access containing component directive instance from the shadow DOM.
- Allow to access app services of the app level injector of the component
when the component is instantiated.
Supports:
- binds text nodes, element properties and directive properties
- locates decorator, component and template directives.
- inline templates of components
The compiler is built using a pipeline design,
see core/src/compiler/pipeline package.

together:
