The current router is passed to the current component via a binding.
To indicate that this is an angular provided object, this commit
renames the binding to `$router`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The recently added binding of the current router to the current component
has been renamed from `router` to `$router`.
So now the recommended set up for your bindings in your routed component
is:
```js
{
...
bindings: {
$router: '<'
}
}
```
In angular2 `Location.path()` returns the complete path including query string. In angular1 the query parameters are missing. Similar to this `Location.go` does accept two parameters (path *and query*).
Closes#6943
In Angular 1.5 there is a new helper method for creating component directives.
See https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/component for more information about components.
These kind of directives only match the `E` element form and the previously component
router only created HTML that matched directives that matched the `A` attribute form.
This commit changes the `<ng-outlet>` directive so that it generates custom HTML
elements rather divs with custom attributes to trigger the relevant component to
appear in the DOM.
Going forward, Angular 1.5 users are encouraged to create their router components
using the following style:
```
myModule.componnet('component-name', {
// component definition object
});
```
Closes angular/angular.js#13860
Closes#6076Closes#5278
BREAKING CHANGE:
The component router now creates custom element HTML rather than custom attribute
HTML, in order to create a new component. So rather than
```html
<div custom-component></div>
```
it now creates
```html
<custom-component></custom-component>
```
If you defined you router components using the `directive()` helper and
specified the `restrict` properties such that element matching was not allowed,
e.g. `restrict: 'A'` then these components will no longer be instantiated
by the component router and the outlet will be empty.
The fix is to include `E` in the `restrict` property.
`restrict: 'EA'`
Note that this does not affect directives that did not specify the `restrict`
property as the default for this property is already `EA`.
The upstream Jasmine typings don't define a type for the global
object with Jasmine methods polluting it, so just use any.
Also zone.js has a different name upstream.
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.

This is a big change. @matsko also deserves much of the credit for the implementation.
Previously, `ComponentInstruction`s held all the state for async components.
Now, we introduce several subclasses for `Instruction` to describe each type of navigation.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Redirects now use the Link DSL syntax. Before:
```
@RouteConfig([
{ path: '/foo', redirectTo: '/bar' },
{ path: '/bar', component: BarCmp }
])
```
After:
```
@RouteConfig([
{ path: '/foo', redirectTo: ['Bar'] },
{ path: '/bar', component: BarCmp, name: 'Bar' }
])
```
BREAKING CHANGE:
This also introduces `useAsDefault` in the RouteConfig, which makes cases like lazy-loading
and encapsulating large routes with sub-routes easier.
Previously, you could use `redirectTo` like this to expand a URL like `/tab` to `/tab/posts`:
@RouteConfig([
{ path: '/tab', redirectTo: '/tab/users' }
{ path: '/tab', component: TabsCmp, name: 'Tab' }
])
AppCmp { ... }
Now the recommended way to handle this is case is to use `useAsDefault` like so:
```
@RouteConfig([
{ path: '/tab', component: TabsCmp, name: 'Tab' }
])
AppCmp { ... }
@RouteConfig([
{ path: '/posts', component: PostsCmp, useAsDefault: true, name: 'Posts' },
{ path: '/users', component: UsersCmp, name: 'Users' }
])
TabsCmp { ... }
```
In the above example, you can write just `['/Tab']` and the route `Users` is automatically selected as a child route.

This reverts commit cf7292fcb1.
This commit triggered an existing race condition in Google code. More work is needed on the Router to fix this condition before this refactor can land.

BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously, route configuration took a controller constructor function as the value of
`component` in a route definition:
```
$route.config([
{ route: '/', component: MyController }
])
```
Based on the name of the controller, we used to use a componentMapper service to
determine what template to pair with each controller, how to bind the instance to
the $scope.
To make the 1.x router more semantically alligned with Angular 2, we now route to a directive.
Thus a route configuration takes a normalized directive name:
```
$route.config([
{ route: '/', component: 'myDirective' }
])
```
BREAKING CHANGE:
In order to avoid name collisions, lifecycle hooks are now prefixed with `$`. Before:
```
MyController.prototype.onActivate = ...
```
After:
```
MyController.prototype.$onActivate = ...
```
Same for `$canActivate` (which now lives on the directive factory function),
`$canDeactivate`, `$canReuse`, and `$onDeactivate` hooks.
