BREAKING CHANGE:
- Renderer:
* renderComponent method is removed form `Renderer`, only present on `RootRenderer`
* Renderer.setDebugInfo is removed. Renderer.createElement / createText / createTemplateAnchor
now take the DebugInfo directly.
- Query semantics:
* Queries don't work with dynamically loaded components.
* e.g. for router-outlet: loaded components can't be queries via @ViewQuery,
but router-outlet emits an event `activate` now that emits the activated component
- Exception classes and the context inside changed (renamed fields)
- DebugElement.attributes is an Object and not a Map in JS any more
- ChangeDetectorGenConfig was renamed into CompilerConfig
- AppViewManager.createEmbeddedViewInContainer / AppViewManager.createHostViewInContainer
are removed, use the methods in ViewContainerRef instead
- Change detection order changed:
* 1. dirty check component inputs
* 2. dirty check content children
* 3. update render nodes

In Dart, ImmutableLists are just a projection of an underlying list.
I.e. if the underlying list changes, the ImmutableList also changes.
So we can't make optimizations based on checking whether a collection
is an ImmutableList.
This reverts commit a10c02cb41.
Closes#8023
BREAKING CHANGE:
`OnPushObserve` was an experimental
feature for Dart and had
conceptual performance problems,
as setting up observables is slow.
Use `OnPush` instead.
BEFORE:
The following would throw in the dev mode because `f` would return a new array when called by checkNoChanges.
@Component({
template: `
{{f()}}
`
})
class A {
f() { return [1]; }
}
AFTER:
The checkNoChanges function compares only primitives types for equality, and deeply compares iterables. Other objects cannot cause checkNoChanges to throw. This means that the dev mode would never fail given a legal program, but may allow some illegal programs.
This is needed to prevent memory leaks. The DOM
listeners don’t need to be removed for simple examples,
but a big internal app shows memory leaks because of them.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Renderer.listen` now has to return a function that
removes the event listener.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Platform pipes can only contain types and arrays of types,
but no bindings any more.
- When using transformers, platform pipes need to be specified explicitly
in the pubspec.yaml via the new config option
`platform_pipes`.
- `Compiler.compileInHost` now returns a `HostViewFactoryRef`
- Component view is not yet created when component constructor is called.
-> use `onInit` lifecycle callback to access the view of a component
- `ViewRef#setLocal` has been moved to new type `EmbeddedViewRef`
- `internalView` is gone, use `EmbeddedViewRef.rootNodes` to access
the root nodes of an embedded view
- `renderer.setElementProperty`, `..setElementStyle`, `..setElementAttribute` now
take a native element instead of an ElementRef
- `Renderer` interface now operates on plain native nodes,
instead of `RenderElementRef`s or `RenderViewRef`s
Closes#5993
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously, pipes that wanted to be notified when they were destroyed
would implement the PipeOnDestroy interface and name the callback
`onDestroy`. This change removes the PipeOnDestroy interface and
instead uses Angular's lifecycle interface `OnDestroy`, with the
`ngOnDestroy` method.
Before:
```
import {Pipe, PipeOnDestroy} from 'angular2/angular2';
@Pipe({pure: false})
export class MyPipe implements PipeOnDestroy {
onDestroy() {}
}
```
After:
import {Pipe, OnDestroy} from 'angular2/angular2';
@Pipe({pure: false})
export class MyPipe implements PipeOnDestroy {
ngOnDestroy() {}
}
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously, components that would implement lifecycle interfaces would include methods
like "onChanges" or "afterViewInit." Given that components were at risk of using such
names without realizing that Angular would call the methods at different points of
the component lifecycle. This change adds an "ng" prefix to all lifecycle hook methods,
far reducing the risk of an accidental name collision.
To fix, just rename these methods:
* onInit
* onDestroy
* doCheck
* onChanges
* afterContentInit
* afterContentChecked
* afterViewInit
* afterViewChecked
* _Router Hooks_
* onActivate
* onReuse
* onDeactivate
* canReuse
* canDeactivate
To:
* ngOnInit,
* ngOnDestroy,
* ngDoCheck,
* ngOnChanges,
* ngAfterContentInit,
* ngAfterContentChecked,
* ngAfterViewInit,
* ngAfterViewChecked
* _Router Hooks_
* routerOnActivate
* routerOnReuse
* routerOnDeactivate
* routerCanReuse
* routerCanDeactivate
The names of lifecycle interfaces and enums have not changed, though interfaces
have been updated to reflect the new method names.
Closes#5036
A quoted expression is:
quoted expression = prefix `:` uninterpretedExpression
prefix = identifier
uninterpretedExpression = arbitrary string
Example: "route:/some/route"
Quoted expressions are parsed into a new AST node type Quote. The `prefix` part of the
node must be a legal identifier. The `uninterpretedExpression` part of the node is an
arbitrary string that Angular does not interpret.
This feature is meant to be used together with template AST transformers introduced in
a43ed79ee7. The
transformer would interpret the quoted expression and convert it into a standard AST no
longer containing quoted expressions. Angular will continue compiling the resulting AST
normally.
This is part of ongoing work to make core platform-independent.
BREAKING CHANGE
All private exports from 'angular2/src/core/facade/{lang,collection,exception_handler}' should be replaced with 'angular2/src/facade/{lang,collection,exception_handler}'.
- Changes the `alreadyChecked` flag of AbstractChangeDetector to a new `state` flag.
- Changes all checks of alreadyChecked to check that the state is NeverChecked.
- Set state to Errored if an error is thrown during detection.
- Skip change detection for a detector and its children when the state is Errored.
- Add a test to validate this fixes issue #4323.
Closes#4953
- fixes wrapping for object literal keys called `template`.
- spacing in destructuring expressions.
- changes to keep trailing return types of functions closer to their
function declaration.
- better formatting of string literals.
Closes#4828
This was a poorly typed attempt to mimic TypeScript's index signatures,
which we can use instead.
This eliminates a very strange type that we were exposing to users, but
not re-exporting through our public API.
Fixes#4483
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Removes `ChangeDetection`, use a binding for `ChangeDetectorGenConfig` instead
to configure change detection.
- `RenderElementRef.renderBoundElementIndex` was renamed to `RenderElementRef.boundElementIndex`.
- Removes `ViewLoader`, use `XHRImpl` instead.
Closes#3605
BREAKING CHANGE:
- we don't mark an element as bound any more if it only contains text bindings
E.g. <div>{{hello}}</div>
This changes the indices when using `DebugElement.componentViewChildren` / `DebugElement.children`.
- `@Directive.compileChildren` was removed,
`ng-non-bindable` is now builtin and not a directive any more
- angular no more adds the `ng-binding` class to elements with bindings
- directives are now ordered as they are listed in the View.directives regarding change detection.
Previously they had an undefined order.
- the `Renderer` interface has new methods `createProtoView` and `registerComponentTemplate`. See `DomRenderer` for default implementations.
- reprojection with `ng-content` is now all or nothing per `ng-content` element
- angular2 transformer can't be used in tests that modify directive metadata.
Use `angular2/src/transform/inliner_for_test` transformer instead.
