This changes Angular so that it can be used without reflection (assuming a codegen for injectors).
BREAKIKNG CHANGE:
- Drops `APP_COMPONENT` provider. Instead, inject
`ApplicationRef` and read its `componentTypes` property.
- long form bootstrap has changed into the following:
```
var platform = createPlatform(ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate(BROWSER_PROVIDERS));
var appInjector =
ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate([BROWSER_APP_PROVIDERS, appProviders], platform.injector);
coreLoadAndBootstrap(appInjector, MyApp);
```
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Injector was renamed into `ReflectiveInjector`,
as `Injector` is only an abstract class with one method on it
- `Injector.getOptional()` was changed into `Injector.get(token, notFoundValue)`
to make implementing injectors simpler
- `ViewContainerRef.createComponent` now takes an `Injector`
instead of `ResolvedProviders`. If a reflective injector
should be used, create one before calling this method.
(e.g. via `ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate(…)`.
This adds the feature for `@ViewChild`/`@ViewChildren`/`@ContentChild`/`@ContentChildren` to define what to read from the queried element.
E.g. `@ViewChild(`someVar`, read: ViewContainerRef)` will locate the element with a variable `someVar` on it and return a `ViewContainerRef` for it.
Background: With this change, Angular knows exactly at which elements there will be `ViewConainerRef`s as the user has to ask explicitly of them. This simplifies codegen and will make converting Angular templates into server side templates simpler as well.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoLocation` has been removed. Use `@ViewChild(‘myVar’, read: ViewContainerRef)` to get hold of a `ViewContainerRef` at an element with variable `myVar`.
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation` now takes a `ViewContainerRef` instead of an `ElementRef`.
- `AppViewManager` is renamed into `ViewUtils` and is a mere private utility service.
Each compile template now exposes a `<CompName>NgFactory` variable
with an instance of a `ComponentFactory`.
Calling `ComponentFactory.create` returns a `ComponentRef` that can
be used directly.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Compiler` is renamed to `ComponentResolver`,
`Compiler.compileInHost` has been renamed to `ComponentResolver.resolveComponent`.
- `ComponentRef.dispose` is renamed to `ComponentRef.destroy`
- `ViewContainerRef.createHostView` is renamed to `ViewContainerRef.createComponent`
- `ComponentFixture_` has been removed, the class `ComponentFixture`
can now be created directly as it is no more using private APIs.

BREAKING CHANGE:
`Location` and other related providers have been moved out of `router` and into `platform/common`. `BrowserPlatformLocation` is not meant to be used directly however advanced configurations may use it via the following import change.
Before:
```
import {
PlatformLocation,
Location,
LocationStrategy,
HashLocationStrategy,
PathLocationStrategy,
APP_BASE_HREF}
from 'angular2/router';
import {BrowserPlatformLocation} from 'angular2/src/router/location/browser_platform_location';
```
After:
```
import {
PlatformLocation,
Location,
LocationStrategy,
HashLocationStrategy,
PathLocationStrategy,
APP_BASE_HREF}
from 'angular2/platform/common';
import {BrowserPlatformLocation} from 'angular2/src/platform/browser/location/browser_platform_location';
```
Closes#7962
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Renderer:
* renderComponent method is removed form `Renderer`, only present on `RootRenderer`
* Renderer.setDebugInfo is removed. Renderer.createElement / createText / createTemplateAnchor
now take the DebugInfo directly.
- Query semantics:
* Queries don't work with dynamically loaded components.
* e.g. for router-outlet: loaded components can't be queries via @ViewQuery,
but router-outlet emits an event `activate` now that emits the activated component
- Exception classes and the context inside changed (renamed fields)
- DebugElement.attributes is an Object and not a Map in JS any more
- ChangeDetectorGenConfig was renamed into CompilerConfig
- AppViewManager.createEmbeddedViewInContainer / AppViewManager.createHostViewInContainer
are removed, use the methods in ViewContainerRef instead
- Change detection order changed:
* 1. dirty check component inputs
* 2. dirty check content children
* 3. update render nodes

Instead of running with karma and the karma-dart shim, run dart
tests directly using the new package:test runner. This migrates
away from package:unittest.
Fixes a couple tests, mostly associated with depending on absolute
URLs or editing the test providers after an injector had already
been created.
Remove karma-dart and associated files. Change gupfiles to run tests
via `pub run test` instead.
@petebacondarwin deserves credit for most of this commit.
This allows you to specify a regex and serializer function instead
of the path DSL in your route declaration.
```
@RouteConfig([
{ regex: '[a-z]+.[0-9]+',
serializer: (params) => `{params.a}.params.b}`,
component: MyComponent }
])
class Component {}
```

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
Previously when comparing which of multiple possible routes to choose in
an ambiguous case, we looked at the specificity of the target of redirect
matches rather than the original match. This meant that if a redirect
used a whilecard, but redirected to a target that was a static path,
we'd cound the static path's specificity instead of the wildcard.
This change stores the specificity of the redirect on the RedirectInstruction.
Closes#5933
BREAKING CHANGE
Before
Previously Angular would run in dev prod mode by default, and you could enable the dev mode by calling enableDevMode.
After
Now, Angular runs in the dev mode by default, and you can enable the prod mode by calling enableProdMode.
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.
Closes#5036
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.

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.
This is part of ongoing work to make core platform-independent.
BREAKING CHANGE
All private exports from 'angular2/src/core/facade/{lang,collection,exception_handler}' should be replaced with 'angular2/src/facade/{lang,collection,exception_handler}'.
Refactor EventEmitter and Async Facade to match ES7 Observable semantics, properly use RxJS typedefs, make EventEmitter inherit from RxJS Subject. Closes#4149.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- consumers of EventEmitter no longer need to call .toRx()
- EventEmitter is now generic and requires a type - e.g. `EventEmitter<string>`
- EventEmitter and Observable now use the `.subscribe(generatorOrNext, error, complete)` method instead of `.observer(generator)`
- ObservableWrapper uses `callNext/callError/callComplete` instead of `callNext/callThrow/callReturn`
- fixes wrapping for object literal keys called `template`.
- spacing in destructuring expressions.
- changes to keep trailing return types of functions closer to their
function declaration.
- better formatting of string literals.
Closes#4828
BREAKING CHANGE
The ROUTE_DATA token has been removed and replaced with a type RouteData,
allowing a type injection like we do with RouteParams.
Before:
constructor(routeParams: RouteParams, @Inject(ROUTE_DATA) routeData) {
let id = routeParams.get('id');
let name = ROUTE_DATA.name;
}
After:
constructor(routeParams: RouteParams, routeData: RouteData) {
let id = routeParams.get('id');
let name = routeData.get('name');
}
