HttpClient is an evolution of the existing Angular HTTP API, which exists
alongside of it in a separate package, @angular/common/http. This structure
ensures that existing codebases can slowly migrate to the new API.
The new API improves significantly on the ergonomics and features of the legacy
API. A partial list of new features includes:
* Typed, synchronous response body access, including support for JSON body types
* JSON is an assumed default and no longer needs to be explicitly parsed
* Interceptors allow middleware logic to be inserted into the pipeline
* Immutable request/response objects
* Progress events for both request upload and response download
* Post-request verification & flush based testing framework
Destructuring of the form:
function foo({a, b}: {a?, b?} = {})
breaks strictNullChecks, due to the TypeScript bug https://github.com/microsoft/typescript/issues/10078.
This change eliminates usage of destructuring in function argument lists in cases where it would leak
into the public API .d.ts.
With 4.2, we introduced the min and max validator directives. This was actually a breaking change because their selectors could include custom value accessors using the min/max properties for their own purposes.
For now, we are rolling back the change by removing the exports. At the least, we should wait to add them until a major version. In the meantime, we will have further discussion about what the best solution is going forward for all validator directives.
Closes#17491.

PR #17551 tried to roll this back, but did not remove the dead code. This failed internal tests that were checking that all declared directives were used.
This PR rolls back the original PR and commit the same as #17551 while also removing the dead code.

This puts the behavior introduced in 573b8611bc behind the new flag
`alwaysCompileGeneratedCode` to not break users that might have relied
on this behavior.
Previously the RequestOptions/ResponseOptions classes had constructors
with a destructured argument hash (represented by the
{Request,Response}OptionsArgs type). This type consists entirely of
optional members.
This produces a .d.ts file which includes the constructor declaration:
constructor({param, otherParam}?: OptionsArgs);
However, this declaration doesn't type-check properly. TypeScript
determines the actual type of the hash parameter to be OptionsArgs | undefined,
which it then concludes does not have a `param` or `otherParam` member.
This is a bug in TypeScript ( https://github.com/microsoft/typescript/issues/10078 ).
As a workaround, destructuring is moved inside the method, where it does not produce
broken artifacts in the .d.ts.
Fixes#16663.
Motivation: `yarn outdated`, for exmaple, shows the homepage URL on the command line. If copy-pasting or clicking on the URL, it's nice to see the repo's page instead of a 404.
Now converts shorthand imports for every TypeScript target. Tsickle is able to expand index shorthand imports for every TypeScript target and module possibility.
Expanding shorthand imports for CommonJS modules is also helpful when testing in the browser. Module loaders like SystemJS are not able to understand directory imports (or index shorthand imports)
`flush()` can now be used from within fakeAsync tests to simulate moving
time forward until all macrotask events have been cleared from the
event queue.
* refactor(core): provide error message in stack for reflective DI

This is a prerequisite for being able to mock providers
in AOTed code later on.
This commit adds a new parameter to ngc named `missingTranslation` to set the MissingTranslationStrategy for AoT, it takes the value `error`, `warning` or `ignore`.

Added an "origins" section to the flat module `.metadata.json` files
that records where the original symbols was declared. This allows
correctly calculating relative path references recorded in metadata.
This commit fixes a regression where `ngModel` no longer syncs
letter by letter on Android devices, and instead syncs at the
end of every word. This broke when we introduced buffering of
IME events so IMEs like Pinyin keyboards or Katakana keyboards
wouldn't display composition strings. Unfortunately, iOS devices
and Android devices have opposite event behavior. Whereas iOS
devices fire composition events for IME keyboards only, Android
fires composition events for Latin-language keyboards. For
this reason, languages like English don't work as expected on
Android if we always buffer. So to support both platforms,
composition string buffering will only be turned on by default
for non-Android devices.
However, we have also added a `COMPOSITION_BUFFER_MODE` token
to make this configurable by the application. In some cases, apps
might might still want to receive intermediate values. For example,
some inputs begin searching based on Latin letters before a
character selection is made.
As a provider, this is fairly flexible. If you want to turn
composition buffering off, simply provide the token at the top
level:
```ts
providers: [
{provide: COMPOSITION_BUFFER_MODE, useValue: false}
]
```
Or, if you want to change the mode based on locale or platform,
you can use a factory:
```ts
import {shouldUseBuffering} from 'my/lib';
....
providers: [
{provide: COMPOSITION_BUFFER_MODE, useFactory: shouldUseBuffering}
]
```
Closes#15079.
PR Close#15256
This is needed to support the corner cases:
- usage of a `ComponentFactory` that was created on the fly via `Compiler`
- overwriting of the `NgModuleRef` that is associated to a
`ComponentFactory` by the `ComponentFactoryResolver` from
which it was read.
Fixes#15241
The Router use the type `Params` for all of:
- position parameters,
- matrix parameters,
- query parameters.
`Params` is defined as follow `type Params = {[key: string]: any}`
Because parameters can either have single or multiple values, the type should
actually be `type Params = {[key: string]: string | string[]}`.
The client code often assumes that parameters have single values, as in the
following exemple:
```
class MyComponent {
sessionId: Observable<string>;
constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.sessionId = this.route
.queryParams
.map(params => params['session_id'] || 'None');
}
}
```
The problem here is that `params['session_id']` could be `string` or `string[]`
but the error is not caught at build time because of the `any` type.
Fixing the type as describe above would break the build because `sessionId`
would becomes an `Observable<string | string[]>`.
However the client code knows if it expects a single or multiple values. By
using the new `ParamMap` interface the user code can decide when it needs a
single value (calling `ParamMap.get(): string`) or multiple values (calling
`ParamMap.getAll(): string[]`).
The above exemple should be rewritten as:
```
class MyComponent {
sessionId: Observable<string>;
constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.sessionId = this.route
.queryParamMap
.map(paramMap => paramMap.get('session_id') || 'None');
}
}
```
Added APIs:
- `interface ParamMap`,
- `ActivatedRoute.paramMap: ParamMap`,
- `ActivatedRoute.queryParamMap: ParamMap`,
- `ActivatedRouteSnapshot.paramMap: ParamMap`,
- `ActivatedRouteSnapshot.queryParamMap: ParamMap`,
- `UrlSegment.parameterMap: ParamMap`
DEPRECATION:
- the arguments `inputs` / `outputs` / `ngContentSelectors` of `downgradeComponent`
are no longer used as Angular calculates these automatically now.
- Compiler.getNgContentSelectors is deprecated. Use
ComponentFactory.ngContentSelectors instead.
ErrorHandler can not throw errors because it will unsubscribe itself from
the error stream.
Zones captures errors and feed it into NgZone, which than has a Rx Observable
to feed it into ErrorHandler. If the ErroHandler throws, then Rx will teardown
the observable which in essence causes the ErrorHandler to be removed from the
error handling. This implies that the ErrorHandler can never throw errors.
Closes#14949Closes#15182Closes#14316
Update tsickle to version 0.21.6 which fixes a bug where input source maps which specified filenames differently than the names supplied to tsc didn't get composed with tsc's source maps. Also adds a test that the bug was fixed.
Observable subscriptions from previous validation runs should be canceled
before a new subscription is created for the next validation run.
Currently the subscription that sets the errors is canceled properly,
but the source observable created by the validator is not. While this
does not affect validation status or error setting, the source
observables will incorrectly continue through the pipeline until they
complete. This change ensures that the whole stream is canceled.
AsyncValidatorFn previously had an "any" return type, but now it more
explicitly requires a Promise or Observable return type. We don't
anticipate this causing problems given that any other return type
would have caused a runtime error already.
DEPRECATION:
- the arguments `inputs` / `outputs` / `ngContentSelectors` of `downgradeComponent`
are no longer used as Angular calculates these automatically now.
- Compiler.getNgContentSelectors is deprecated. Use
ComponentFactory.ngContentSelectors instead.
In order for tsickle's new support for input source maps to work, the tsickleCompilerHost must be used for the initial load of source files, since that's when the inline source maps are read and stripped.

Before this change there was a single injector tree.
Now we have 2 injector trees, one for the modules and one for the components.
This fixes lazy loading modules.
See the design docs for details:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OEUIwc-s69l1o97K0wBd_-Lth5BBxir1KuCRWklTlI4
BREAKING CHANGES
`ComponentFactory.create()` takes an extra optional `NgModuleRef` parameter.
No change should be required in user code as the correct module will be used
when none is provided
DEPRECATIONS
The following methods were used internally and are no more required:
- `RouterOutlet.locationFactoryResolver`
- `RouterOutlet.locationInjector`
This API was introduced only in a beta release, and is being removed because we found it to be incorrect prior to launch. For more information about why this is being removed, see https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/15050.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Perviously, any provider that had an ngOnDestroy lifecycle hook would be created eagerly.
Now, only classes that are annotated with @Component, @Directive, @Pipe, @NgModule are eager. Providers only become eager if they are either directly or transitively injected into one of the above.
This also makes all `useValue` providers eager, which
should have no observable impact other than code size.
EXPECTED IMPACT:
Making providers eager was an incorrect behavior and never documented.
Also, providers that are used by a directive / pipe / ngModule stay eager.
So the impact should be rather small.
Fixes#14552
The main use case for the generated source maps is to give
errors a meaningful context in terms of the original source
that the user wrote.
Related changes that are included in this commit:
* renamed virtual folders used for jit:
* ng://<module type>/module.ngfactory.js
* ng://<module type>/<comp type>.ngfactory.js
* ng://<module type>/<comp type>.html (for inline templates)
* error logging:
* all errors that happen in templates are logged
from the place of the nearest element.
* instead of logging error messages and stacks separately,
we log the actual error. This is needed so that browsers apply
source maps to the stack correctly.
* error type and error is logged as one log entry.
Note that long-stack-trace zone has a bug that
disables source maps for stack traces,
see https://github.com/angular/zone.js/issues/661.

This can be used to e.g. add the NoopAnimationsModule by default:
```
TestBed.initTestEnvironment([
BrowserDynamicTestingModule,
NoopAnimationsModule
], platformBrowserDynamicTesting());
```
DEPRECATION:
Use `RouterModule.forRoot(routes, {initialNavigation: 'enabled'})` instead of
`RouterModule.forRoot(routes, {initialNavigtaion: true})`.
Before doing this, move the initialization logic affecting the router
from the bootstrapped component to the boostrapped module.
Similarly, use `RouterModule.forRoot(routes, {initialNavigation: 'disabled'})`
instead of `RouterModule.forRoot(routes, {initialNavigation: false})`.
Deprecated options: 'legacy_enabled', `true` (same as 'legacy_enabled'),
'legacy_disabled', `false` (same as 'legacy_disabled').
The "Router Initial Navigation" design document covers this change.

After the introduction of the view engine, we can drop a lot of code that is not used any more.
This should reduce the size of the app bundles because a lot of this code was not being properly tree-shaken by today's tools even though it was dead code.
- Don’t use the animation renderer if a component
used style encapsulation but no animations.
- The `AnimationRenderer` should be cached in the same
lifecycle as its delegate.
- Trigger names need to be namespaced per component type.
When the `enableLegacyTemplate` is set to `false`, `<template>` tags and the
`template` attribute are no more used to define angular templates but are
treated as regular tag and attribute.
The default value is `true`.
In order to define a template, you have to use the `<ng-template>` tag.
This option applies to your application and all the libraries it uses. That is
you should make sure none of them rely on the legacy way to defined templates
when this option is turned off (`false`).
BREAKING CHANGE: Because all lifecycle hooks are now interfaces
the code that uses 'extends' keyword will no longer compile.
To migrate the code follow the example below:
Before:
```
@Component()
class SomeComponent extends OnInit {}
```
After:
```
@Component()
class SomeComponent implements OnInit {}
```
we don't expect anyone to be affected by this change.
Closes#10083
Use `RendererV2` instead of `Renderer` now. `Renderer` can still be injected
and delegates to `RendererV2`.
Use `RendererFactoryV2` instead of `RootRenderer`. `RootRenderer` cannot be used
anymore.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `RootRenderer` cannot be used any more, use `RendererFactoryV2` instead.
Note: `Renderer` can still be injected/used, but is deprecated.
Currently styles are rendered to the root component element, which ensures they're cleaned up automatically
when the client application is bootstrapped. This is less than ideal as progressive rendering can cause HTML
to be rendered before the CSS is loaded, causing flicker.
This change returns to rendering <style> elements in the <head>, and introduces a mechanism for removing
them on client bootstrap. This relies on associating the server and client bootstrap. Another way to think
of this is that the client, when bootstrapping an app, needs to know whether to expect a server rendered
application exists on the page, and to identify the <style> elements that are part of that app in order
to remove them.
This is accomplished by providing a string TRANSITION_ID on both server and client. For most applications,
this will be achieved by writing a client app module that imports BrowserModule.withServerTransition({appId: <id>}).
The server app module will import this client app module and therefore inherit the provider for
TRANSITION_ID. renderModule[Factory] on the server will validate that a TRANSITION_ID has been provided.
TypeScript compiler will now build to ES2015 code and modules. Babili is used to minify ES2015
code, providing an initial optimization that we couldn't previously get just from Uglify. Uses
Babel to convert ES2015 to UMD/ES5 code, and Uglify to minimize the output.
Included refactoring:
- splits the `RendererV2` into a `RendererFactoryV2` and a `RendererV2`
- makes the `DebugRendererV2` a private class in `@angular/core`
- remove `setBindingDebugInfo` from `RendererV2`, but rename `RendererV2.setText` to
`RendererV2.setValue` and allow it on comments and text nodes.

- PlatformState provides an interface to serialize the current Platform State as a string or Document.
- renderModule and renderModuleFactory are convenience methods to wait for Angular Application to stabilize and then render the state to a string.
- refactor code to remove defaultDoc from DomAdapter and inject DOCUMENT where it's needed.
BREAKING CHANGE: Classes that derive from `AsyncPipe` and override
`transform()` might not compile correctly. Use of `async` pipe in
templates is unaffected.
Mitigation: Update derived classes of `AsyncPipe` that override
`transform()` to include the type parameter overloads.

Tsickle transforms typescript code, which can change the location of code.
This can cause issues such as runtime stack traces reporting that errors
were raised on the incorrect line in the orginal source. This change replaces
the DecoratorDownlevelCompilerHost and the TsickleCompilerHost with tsickle's
TsickleCompilerHost, which automatically composes tsickle's source maps with
typescript's source maps, so that line numbers are correctly reported at
runtime.

This commit updates the doc-gen to account
for the changes to the codebase for decorators.
There are actually three kinds of calls that create decorators:
* makeDecorator
* makePropDecorator
* makeParamDecorator
Also, the actual documentation for each
decorator is split between two exported symbols:
* `interface [DecoratorName]` contains the metadata fields
* interface [DecoratorName]Decorator` contains a
"call member" which holds the general description of the decorator.
This processor now identifies all three decorator types, and pulls the
description of the callMember onto the main decorator doc description.
(There are some outstanding interfaces in the angular/angular project that
need to be re-exported from `/angular/modules/@angular/core/src/metadata.ts`
to ensure that the doc-gen is able to access them.)
Closes https://github.com/angular/angular.io/pull/2349
`ComponentFactory`s can now be created from a `ViewDefinitionFactory` via
