Now, using `ng.probe(element)` in the browser console returns
a DebugElement when in dev mode.
`ComponentFixture#debugElement` also returns a new DebugElement.
Breaking Change:
This is a breaking change for unit tests. The API for the DebugElement
has changed. Now, there is a DebugElement or DebugNode for every node
in the DOM, not only nodes with an ElementRef. `componentViewChildren` is
removed, and `childNodes` is a list of ElementNodes corresponding to every
child in the DOM. `query` no longer takes a scope parameter, since
the entire rendered DOM is included in the `childNodes`.
Before:
```
componentFixture.debugElement.componentViewChildren[0];
```
After
```
// Depending on the DOM structure of your component, the
// index may have changed or the first component child
// may be a sub-child.
componentFixture.debugElement.children[0];
```
Before:
```
debugElement.query(By.css('div'), Scope.all());
```
After:
```
debugElement.query(By.css('div'));
```
Before:
```
componentFixture.debugElement.elementRef;
```
After:
```
componentFixture.elementRef;
```
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
All private exports from 'angular2/src/core/{directives,pipes,forms}' should be replaced with 'angular2/src/common/{directives,pipes,formis}'
Closes#5153
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.
