Currently styles are rendered to the root component element, which ensures they're cleaned up automatically
when the client application is bootstrapped. This is less than ideal as progressive rendering can cause HTML
to be rendered before the CSS is loaded, causing flicker.
This change returns to rendering <style> elements in the <head>, and introduces a mechanism for removing
them on client bootstrap. This relies on associating the server and client bootstrap. Another way to think
of this is that the client, when bootstrapping an app, needs to know whether to expect a server rendered
application exists on the page, and to identify the <style> elements that are part of that app in order
to remove them.
This is accomplished by providing a string TRANSITION_ID on both server and client. For most applications,
this will be achieved by writing a client app module that imports BrowserModule.withServerTransition({appId: <id>}).
The server app module will import this client app module and therefore inherit the provider for
TRANSITION_ID. renderModule[Factory] on the server will validate that a TRANSITION_ID has been provided.
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.
This ensures when the tree is serialized to the client and the app is later bootstrapped,
the <style> tags created during server-side rendering are destroyed.
- PlatformState provides an interface to serialize the current Platform State as a string or Document.
- renderModule and renderModuleFactory are convenience methods to wait for Angular Application to stabilize and then render the state to a string.
- refactor code to remove defaultDoc from DomAdapter and inject DOCUMENT where it's needed.
This gives server-side apps a current URL including hash, but doesn't implement a state stack,
so back-and-forward navigation isn't possible.
PR Close#14405
Every test now has an implicit module. It can be configured via `configureModule` (from @angular/core/testing)
to add providers, directives, pipes, ...
The compiler now has to be configured separately via `configureCompiler` (from @angular/core/testing)
to add providers or define whether to use jit.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Application providers can no longer inject compiler internals (i.e. everything
from `@angular/compiler). Inject `Compiler` instead. This reflects the
changes to `bootstrap` for module support (3f55aa609f).
- Compiler providers can no longer be added via `addProviders` / `withProviders`.
Use the new method `configureCompiler` instead.
- Platform directives / pipes need to be provided via
`configureModule` and can no longer be provided via the
`PLATFORM_PIPES` / `PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES` tokens.
- `setBaseTestProviders()` was renamed into `initTestEnvironment` and
now takes a `PlatformRef` and a factory for a
`Compiler`.
- E.g. for the browser platform:
BEFORE:
```
import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’;
import {TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’;
setBaseTestProviders(TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS);
```
AFTER:
```
import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’;
import {browserTestCompiler, browserDynamicTestPlatform,
BrowserDynamicTestModule} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’;
initTestEnvironment(
browserTestCompiler,
browserDynamicTestPlatform(),
BrowserDynamicTestModule);
```
- E.g. for the server platform:
BEFORE:
```
import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’;
import {TEST_SERVER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_SERVER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS} from ‘@angular/platform-server/testing/server’;
setBaseTestProviders(TEST_SERVER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_SERVER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS);
```
AFTER:
```
import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’;
import {serverTestCompiler, serverTestPlatform,
ServerTestModule} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’;
initTestEnvironment(
serverTestCompiler,
serverTestPlatform(),
ServerTestModule);
```
