## Inheritance Semantics:
Decorators:
1) list the decorators of the class and its parents in the ancestor first order
2) only use the last decorator of each kind (e.g. @Component / ...)
Constructor parameters:
If a class inherits from a parent class and does not declare
a constructor, it inherits the parent class constructor,
and with it the parameter metadata of that parent class.
Lifecycle hooks:
Follow the normal class inheritance model,
i.e. lifecycle hooks of parent classes will be called
even if the method is not overwritten in the child class.
## Example
E.g. the following is a valid use of inheritance and it will
also inherit all metadata:
```
@Directive({selector: 'someDir'})
class ParentDirective {
constructor(someDep: SomeDep) {}
ngOnInit() {}
}
class ChildDirective extends ParentDirective {}
```

This improves ergonomics a bit by allowing people to write:
`<label [for]="ctxProp"></label>`.
This is similar to the existing class -> className mapping.

This patch ensures that animations are run outside of change detection
thus allowing for start and done callbacks to modify application data
without causing a cycle loop.

Previously, if a `TemplateRef` was created in a `ViewContainerRef`
at a different place, the content was not query able at all.
With this change, the content of the template can be queried
as if it was stamped out at the declaration place of the template.
E.g. in the following example, the `QueryList<ChildCmp>` will
be filled once the button is clicked.
```
@Component({
selector: ‘my-comp’,
template: ‘<button #vc (click)=“createView()”></button>’
})
class MyComp {
@ContentChildren(ChildCmp)
children: QueryList<ChildCmp>;
@ContentChildren(TemplateRef)
template: TemplateRef;
@ViewChild(‘vc’, {read: ViewContainerRef})
vc: ViewContainerRef;
createView() {
this.vc.createEmbeddedView(this.template);
}
}
@Component({
template: `
<my-comp>
<template><child-cmp></child-cmp></template>
</my-comp>
`
})
class App {}
```

But use the DOM apis directly.
This also creates a separate `ServerRenderer` implementation
for `platform-server` as it previously reused the `BrowserRenderer`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- all `…Metadata` classes have been removed. Use the corresponding decorator
as constructor or for `instanceof` checks instead.
- Example:
* Before: `new ComponentMetadata(…)`
* After: `new Component(…)`
- Note: `new Component(…)` worked before as well.
Every decorator now is made of the following:
- a function that can be used
as a decorator or as a constructor. This function
also can be used for `instanceof` checks.
- a type for this function (callable and newable)
- a type that describes the shape of the data
that the user needs to pass to the decorator
as well as the instance of the metadata
The docs for decorators live at the followig places
so that IDEs can discover them correctly:
- General description of the decorator is placed on the
`...Decorator` interface on the callable function
definition
- Property descriptions are placed on the interface
that describes the metadata produces by the decorator
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.
