This commit introduces a new API to the ngUpgrade module, which is compatible
with AoT compilation. Primarily, it removes the dependency on reflection
over the Angular 2 metadata by introducing an API where this information
is explicitly defined, in the source code, in a way that is not lost through
AoT compilation.
This commit is a collaboration between @mhevery (who provided the original
design of the API); @gkalpak & @petebacondarwin (who implemented the
API and migrated the specs from the original ngUpgrade tests) and @alexeagle
(who provided input and review).
This commit is an starting point, there is still work to be done:
* add more documentation
* validate the API via internal projects
* align the ngUpgrade compilation of A1 directives closer to the real A1
compiler
* add more unit tests
* consider support for async `templateUrl` A1 upgraded components
Closes#12239
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#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.
We changed the bootstrap order:
1. create NgZone
2. bootstrap ng1 inside NgZone and upgrade ng1 components to ng2 components.
3. bootstrap ng2 with NgZone
Note: Previous footgun behavior was: bootstrap ng2 first to extract NgZone, so that ng1 bootstrap can happen in NgZone. This meant that if ng2 bootstrap eagerly compiled a component which contained ng1 components, then we did not have complete metadata.
- ts-api-guardian will now error if a new public symbol is added with a stability marker (`@stable`, `@experimental`, `@deprecated`)
- DomEventsPlugin and KeyEventsPlugin were removed from public api surface - these classes is an implementation detail
- deprecated BROWSER_PROVIDERS was removed completely
- `@angular/compiler` was removed from the ts-api-guardian check since this package shouldn't contain anything that users need to directly import
- the rest of the api surface was conservatively marked as stable or experimental
BREAKING CHANGES: DomEventsPlugin and KeyEventsPlugin previously exported from core are no longer public - these classes are implementation detail.
Previously deprecated BROWSER_PROVIDERS was completely removed from platform-browser.
