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
`Object.assign` is not available in all supported browsers and one had to
provide a polyfill. This commit replaces `Object.assign` with the spread
operator (`...`), which TypeScript will transpile to ES5-compatible code.
(#17971)
This commit changes the dynamic version of ngUpgrade to use `UpgradeHelper`,
thus bringing its behavior (wrt upgraded components) much closer to
`upgrade/static`. Fixes/features include:
- Fix template compilation: Now takes place in the correct DOM context, instead
of in a detached node (thus has access to required ancestors etc).
- Fix support for the `$onInit()` lifecycle hook.
- Fix single-slot transclusion (including optional transclusion and fallback
content).
- Add support for multi-slot transclusion (inclusing optional slots and fallback
content).
- Add support for binding required controllers to the directive's controller
(and make the `require` behavior more consistent with AngularJS).
- Add support for pre-/post-linking functions.
(This also ports the fixes from #16627 to the dynamic version.)
Fixes#11044
(#17971)
Although, pre- and post-linking functions are correctly called during directive
linking, directives with `link.post` would throw an error. Interestingly, having
`link.pre` only or defining `link: fn` (which is an alias for `link.post: fn`)
would not throw.
This commit removes this check and allows directives with pre- and/or
post-linking functions to work.
Previously, only simple, single-slot transclusion worked on upgraded components.
This commit fixes/adds support for the following:
- Multi-slot transclusion.
- Using fallback content when no transclusion content is provided.
- Destroy unused scope (when using fallback content).
Fixes#13271
- /deep/ is deprecated and being removed from Chrome
- >>> is semantically invalid in a stylesheet
- sass will no longer support either in any version of sass
-> use ::ng-deep in emulated shadow DOM mode
Because the deep combinator is deprecated in the CSS spec,
`/deep/`, `>>>` and `::ng-deep` are also deprecated in emulated shadow DOM mode
and will be removed in the future.
