These wrappers are not natively understood by
ts2dart. Removing them will improve Dart2JS
compilation due to fewer megamorphic calls to List
functions.
It also makes Angular code more succinct and
improves type safety in Angular due to better type
inference of the Array component type.
This change exposed several bugs in Angular.
Closes#2472Closes#2339
BREAKING CHANGE
- `Compiler.compile` has been removed, the only way to compile
components dynamically is via `Compiler.compileInHost`
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoExistingLocation` has changed:
* renamed into `loadIntoLocation`
* will always create the host element as well
* requires an element with a variable inside of the host component view
next to which it will load new component.
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToExistingLocation` was renamed into
`DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation`
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoNewLocation` is removed
* use `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation` instead
and then move the view nodes
manually around via `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
- `AppViewManager.{create,destroy}Free{Host,Embedded}View` was removed
* use `AppViewManager.createViewInContainer` and then move the view nodes
manually around via `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
- `Renderer.detachFreeView` was removed. Use `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
to get the root nodes of a view and detach them manually.
There are upcoming changes to the way we generate
and verify setters so more test are needed to cover
all the corner cases that are being handled today.
Closes#2559
Replaces the multiple arrays of `DomView`
by a single array with `DomElement`s.
Note: this commit does not show a performance regression
(tested against the tree benchmark locally).
clang-format 1.0.17 substantially improves formatting for fat arrow functions
and array literal detection. It also fixes a number of minor formatting issues.
Free embedded views are view instances that are created
logically in the same was as views of a ViewContainer,
but their dom nodes are not attached.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Renderer.detachFreeHostView` was renamed to
`Renderer.detachFreeView`
- `DomRenderer.getHostElement()` was generalized into
`DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
Largetable benchmark with `interpolationAttr` and 200 rows / 20 columns:
Time for destroy/create pair dropped from about 1260ms to about 150ms.
Related to #2298, but does not really fix it as we are still slow
if people are using `<content>`.
Closes#2297
BREAKING CHANGE:
`AppViewManager.createInPlaceHostView` is replaced by
`AppViewManager.createRootHostView` (for bootstrap) and
`AppViewManager.createFreeHostView` (for imperative components).
The later creates new host elements that are not attached anywhere.
To attach them, use `DomRenderer.getHostElement(hostviewRef)`
to get the host element.
Closes#1920
Also consolidates metadata handling in `ElementInjector`
BREAKING CHANGE:
- renames `DirectiveMetadataReader` into `DirectiveResolver`
and removes `src/core/compiler/directive_metadata`.
Fixes#1712Fixes#1713
BREAKING CHANGE:
VmTurnZone has been renamed to NgZone.
- The public API has not chnanged,
- The "outer" zone is now named "mount" zone (private to NgZone).
The goal is to make implementing a renderer straight forward.
BREAKING_CHANGE:
- Renderer interface was redone / simplified.
- `DirectDomRenderer` was replaced by `DomRenderer`.
- `DirectDomRenderer.setImperativeComponentRootNodes` is replaced
by the following 2 steps:
1. `ViewManager.getComponentView(elementRef) -> ViewRef`
2. `DomRenderer.setComponentViewRootNodes(viewRef, rootNodes)`
- all `@View` annotations need to have a template, but the template
may be empty. Previously views that had a `renderer` property did
not have to have a `template`.
- `dynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoNewLocation` does no more allow
to pass an element, but requires a css selector.
Special syntax: `:document` can be used as prefix to search globally
on the document instead of in the provided parent view.
Part of #1675
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously, `Directive` was the abstract base class of several directives.
Now, `Directive` is the former `Decorator`, and `Component` inherits from it.
BREAKING_CHANGE:
- The special type of `Viewport` directives is removed
in favor of a more general `Decorator` directive
- `ViewContainerRef` now no more has a default `ProtoViewRef`
but requires an explicit one when creating views.
Closes#1536
Add utility methods to convert `render.dom.DirectiveMetadata` to and
from maps. This will allow saving and restoring `DirectiveMetadata` in
the Angular 2 Transformer.
We discussed adding this as a member on `DirectiveMetadata`. Since this
is not necessary for anything except the Transformer, we decided to put
it into a separate file to avoid shipping it with the Angular 2 core
code.
BREAKING CHANGES:
- `NgElement` merged into `ElementRef`
- `Compiler.compile…` returns `ProtoViewRef`
- `ViewContainer` uses `ProtoViewRef`s and `ViewRef`s.
- `ViewRef`/`ProtoViewRef` in renderer were renamed to
`RenderViewRef`/`RenderProtoViewRef`.
Related to #1477Closes#1592
Previously, light dom nodes that were not used by any content tag
were not removed from a view on redistribute. This lead
to a bug when reusing a view from the view pool, as it
still contained stale reprojected nodes.
Fixes#1416
Major changes:
- `compiler.compileRoot(el, type)`
-> `compiler.compileInHost(type) + viewHydrator.hydrateHostViewInPlace(el, view)`
- move all `hydrate`/`dehydrate` methods out of `View` and `ViewContainer` into
a standalone class `view_hydrator` as private methods and provide new public
methods dedicated to the individual use cases.
Note: This PR does not change the current functionality, only moves it
into different places.
See design discussion in #1351, in preparation for imperative views.
This commit adds a plugin for the event manager, to allow a key name to
be appended to the event name (for keyup and keydown events), so that
the callback is only called for that key.
Here are some examples:
(keydown.shift.enter)
(keyup.space)
(keydown.control.shift.a)
(keyup.f1)
Key names mostly follow the DOM Level 3 event key values:
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events-key/#key-value-tables
There are some limitations to be worked on (cf details
in https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/1136) but for now, this
implementation is reliable for the following keys (by "reliable" I mean
compatible with Chrome and Firefox and not depending on the keyboard
layout):
- alt, control, shift, meta (those keys can be combined with other keys)
- tab, enter, backspace, pause, scrolllock, capslock, numlock
- insert, delete, home, end, pageup, pagedown
- arrowup, arrowdown, arrowleft, arrowright
- latin letters (a-z), function keys (f1-f12)
- numbers on the numeric keypad (but those keys are not correctly simulated
by Chromedriver)
There is a sample to play with in examples/src/key_events/.

Introduces angular2/src/core/compiler/ViewFactory which
extracts ProtoView.instantiate and replaces ViewPool.
Note: This is a work in progress commit to unblock other commits.
There will be follow ups to add unit tests, remove TODOs, …
Needed to change Renderer.mergeChildComponentProtoViews to not create
new ProtoViews to be able to deal with cyclic references.
This commit is part of using the new render layer in Angular.
