ngc can now validate metadata before emitting to verify it doesn't
contain an error symbol that will result in a runtime error if
it is used by the StaticReflector.
To enable this add the section,
"angularCompilerOptions": {
"strictMetadataEmit": true
}
to the top level of the tsconfig.json file passed to ngc.
Enabled metadata validation for packages that are intended to be
used statically.
Implement the ability to provide objects as request body. The following use cases
are supported:
* raw objects: a JSON payload is created and the content type set to `application/json`
* text: the text is used as it is and no content type header is automatically added
* URLSearchParams: a form payload is created and the content type set to `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
* FormData: the object is used as it is and no content type header is automatically added
* Blob: the object is used as it is and the content type set with the value of its `type` property if any
* ArrayBuffer: the object is used as it is and no content type header is automatically added
