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
This introduces the `BrowserModule` to be used for long form
bootstrap and offline compile bootstrap:
```
@AppModule({
modules: [BrowserModule],
precompile: [MainComponent],
providers: […], // additional providers
directives: […], // additional platform directives
pipes: […] // additional platform pipes
})
class MyModule {
constructor(appRef: ApplicationRef) {
appRef.bootstrap(MainComponent);
}
}
// offline compile
import {bootstrapModuleFactory} from ‘@angular/platform-browser’;
bootstrapModuleFactory(MyModuleNgFactory);
// runtime compile long form
import {bootstrapModule} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic’;
bootstrapModule(MyModule);
```
The short form, `bootstrap(...)`, can now creates a module on the fly,
given `directives`, `pipes, `providers`, `precompile` and `modules`
properties.
Related changes:
- make `SanitizationService`, `SecurityContext` public in `@angular/core` so that the offline compiler can resolve the token
- move `AnimationDriver` to `platform-browser` and make it
public so that the offline compiler can resolve the token
BREAKING CHANGES:
- short form bootstrap does no longer allow
to inject compiler internals (i.e. everything
from `@angular/compiler). Inject `Compiler` instead.
To provide custom providers for the compiler,
create a custom compiler via `browserCompiler({providers: [...]})`
and pass that into the `bootstrap` method.
Also modified static reflector to allow writing tests in using
the .ts and using the MetadataCollector.
Also made MetadataCollector be able to use SourceFiles that have
not been bound (that is, don't have the parent property set).
Fixes#9182Fixes#9265
The collector now collects the body of functions that return an
expression as a symbolic 'function'. The static reflector supports
expanding these functions statically to allow provider macros.
Also added support for the array spread operator in both the
collector and the static reflector.
StaticReflector provides more context on errors reported by the
collector.
The metadata collector now records the line and character of the node that
caused it to report the error.
Includes other minor fixes to error reporting and a wording change.
