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;
```
This is needed to prevent memory leaks. The DOM
listeners don’t need to be removed for simple examples,
but a big internal app shows memory leaks because of them.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Renderer.listen` now has to return a function that
removes the event listener.
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
In the browser, calling element.textContent causes child comment
nodes to be ignored, while getting textContent directly on a
comment node will return the comment. This change makes
parse5Adapter consistent with this behavior by adding a 2nd
argument to getText telling if it's being called recursively.
Closes#5805
This is used for setting property binding values as attributes
on elements when running in dev mode. This implementation will
also serialize binding information to template placeholder
comment nodes.
Closes#5227
Currently, core depends on DomRenderer, which depends on the browser.
This means that if you depend on angular2/core, you will always
pull in the browser dom adapter and the browser render, regardless
if you need them or not.
This PR moves the browser dom adapter and the browser renderer out of core.
BREAKING CHANGE
If you import browser adapter or dom renderer directly (not via angular2/core),
you will have to change the import path.
