After the introduction of the view engine, we can drop a lot of code that is not used any more.
This should reduce the size of the app bundles because a lot of this code was not being properly tree-shaken by today's tools even though it was dead code.
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.
Included refactoring:
- splits the `RendererV2` into a `RendererFactoryV2` and a `RendererV2`
- makes the `DebugRendererV2` a private class in `@angular/core`
- remove `setBindingDebugInfo` from `RendererV2`, but rename `RendererV2.setText` to
`RendererV2.setValue` and allow it on comments and text nodes.

Aspects: di, query, content projection
Included refactoring:
- use a number as query id
- use a bloom filter for aggregating matched queries of nested elements
- separate static vs dynamic queries
Part of #14013
Note: This checks the constructors of `@Injectable` classes more strictly.
E.g this will fail now as the constructor argument has no `@Inject` nor is
the type of the argument a DI token.
```
@Injectable()
class MyService {
constructor(dep: string) {}
}
```
Last part of #12787Closes#12787
When compiling libraries, this feature extracts the minimal information
from the directives/pipes/modules of the library into `.ngsummary.json` files,
so that applications that use this library only need to be recompiled
if one of the summary files change, but not on every change
of the libraries (e.g. one of the templates).
Only works if individual codegen for libraries is enabled,
see the `generateCodeForLibraries: false` option.
Closes#12787
Removes `CompileIdentifierMetadata.name` / `.moduleUrl`,
as well as `CompileTypeMetadata.name / moduleUrl` and
`CompileFactoryMetadata.name / moduleUrl`.
When lazily loading code, users need to be able to get hold of the
NgModuleFactory. For SystemJS environments, the SystemJS registry serves
this purpose. However other environments, such as modules compiled with
Closure compiler, do not expose exports object or a path based registry.
For these environments, `@NgModule` objects can include an identifier, and
the loading code can then pass `loadModule(id).then(() =>
getNgModule(id))` to the router.
closes#11145
Also rename `CompileIdentifierMetadata.runtime` into `CompileIdentifierMetadata.reference`.
Also remove `CompileIdentifierMetadata.equalsTo` as
now it is enough to just check the `reference` fields for equality.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Exceptions are no longer part of the public API. We don't expect that anyone should be referring to the Exception types.
ExceptionHandler.call(exception: any, stackTrace?: any, reason?: string): void;
change to:
ErrorHandler.handleError(error: any): void;
BREAKING CHANGE: previously deprecated @Component.directives and @Component.pipes support was removed.
All the components and pipes now must be declarated via an NgModule. NgModule is the basic
compilation block passed into the Angular compiler via Compiler#compileModuleSync or #compileModuleAsync.
Because of this change, the Compiler#compileComponentAsync and #compileComponentSync were removed as well -
any code doing compilation should compile module instead using the apis mentioned above.
Lastly, since modules are the basic compilation unit, the ngUpgrade module was modified to always require
an NgModule to be passed into the UpgradeAdapter's constructor - previously this was optional.
Closes#9751
BREAKING CHANGE:
These forms of providers are no longer accepted:
bind(MyClass).toFactory(...)
new Provider(MyClass, toFactory: ...)
We now only accept:
{provider: MyClass, toFactory: ...}
Closes#9729
BREAKING CHANGE:
`Type` is now `Type<T>` which means that in most cases you have to
use `Type<any>` in place of `Type`.
We don't expect that any user applications use the `Type` type.
If a `@NgModule` has a `bootstrap` property, `PlatformRef.bootstrapModule` /
`PlatformRef.bootstrapModuleFactory` will automatically bootstrap the components
listed in there.
If such a property does not exist, `PlatformRef.bootstrapModule` /
`PlatformRef.bootstrapModuleFactory` will try to call the method `ngDoBootstrap(appRef: ApplicationRef)` on the module class.
Otherwise an error is reported.
The methods on `ViewResolverMock` have been merged into `DirectiveResolver`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- ES5 users can no longer use the `View(…)` function to provide `ViewMetadata`.
This mirrors the removal of the `@View` decorator a while ago.
This allows Angular to error on unknown properties,
allowing applications that don’t use custom elements
to get better error reporting.
Part of #10043
BREAKING CHANGE:
- By default, Angular will error during parsing
on unknown properties,
even if they are on elements with a `-` in their name
(aka custom elements). If you application is using
custom elements, fill the new parameter `@NgModule.schemas`
with the value `[CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]`.
E.g. for bootstrap:
```
bootstrap(MyComponent, {schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]});
```
