# Zone.js
|
|
|
|
[](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/zone.js)
|
|
|
|
Implements _Zones_ for JavaScript, inspired by [Dart](https://dart.dev/articles/archive/zones).
|
|
|
|
> If you're using zone.js via unpkg (i.e. using `https://unpkg.com/zone.js`)
|
|
> and you're using any of the following libraries, make sure you import them first
|
|
|
|
> * 'newrelic' as it patches global.Promise before zone.js does
|
|
> * 'async-listener' as it patches global.setTimeout, global.setInterval before zone.js does
|
|
> * 'continuation-local-storage' as it uses async-listener
|
|
|

# NEW Zone.js POST-v0.6.0

|
|
|
See the new API [here](./lib/zone.ts).

# BREAKING CHANGES since Zone.js v0.11.1
|
|
|
|
Prior to `v0.11.1`, Zone.js provided two distribution bundle formats in the `dist` folder.
|
|
They were (1) `ES5` bundle distributed as `zone.js` and (2) `ES2015` bundle distributed as `zone-evergreen.js`.
|
|
These bundles are used for Angular's differential-loading mechanism.
|
|
|
|
Prior to `v0.11.11` the following code
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
import 'zone.js';
|
|
```
|
|
would load the `ES5` bundle from `dist/zone.js`.
|
|
|
|
Starting with `v0.11.1`, Zone.js follows the [Angular Package Format](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CZC2rcpxffTDfRDs6p1cfbmKNLA6x5O-NtkJglDaBVs), so the folder structure of the Zone.js bundles is updated to match `Angular Package Format`.
|
|
So the same code
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
import 'zone.js';
|
|
```
|
|
now loads the `ES2015` bundle instead.
|
|
|
|
This is a breaking change for legacy browsers such as `IE11`.
|
|
|
|
For backwards compatibility `zone.js` continues to distribute the same bundles under `dist`.
|
|
To restore the old behavior change the `polyfills.ts` generated by `Angular CLI` to import like so:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For details, please refer the [changelog](./CHANGELOG.md) and the [PR](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/36540).

|
|
|
## What's a Zone?
|
|
|
|
A Zone is an execution context that persists across async tasks.
|
|
You can think of it as [thread-local storage](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread-local_storage) for JavaScript VMs.
|
|
|
|
See this video from ng-conf 2014 for a detailed explanation:

|
## Standard API support
|
|
|
|
zone.js patched most standard web APIs (such as DOM events, `XMLHttpRequest`, ...) and nodejs APIs
|
|
(`EventEmitter`, `fs`, ...), for more details, please see [STANDARD-APIS.md](STANDARD-APIS.md).
|
|
|
|
## Nonstandard API support
|
|
|
|
We are adding support to some nonstandard APIs, such as MediaQuery and
|
|
Notification. Please see [NON-STANDARD-APIS.md](NON-STANDARD-APIS.md) for more details.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
You can find some samples to describe how to use zone.js in [SAMPLE.md](SAMPLE.md).
|
|
|
|
## Modules
|
|
|
|
zone.js patches the async APIs described above, but those patches will have some overhead.
|
|
Starting from zone.js v0.8.9, you can choose which web API module you want to patch.
|
|
For more details, please
|
|
see [MODULE.md](MODULE.md).
|
|
|
|
## Bundles
|
|
|
|
Starting with `v0.11.0`, `zone.js` uses `Angular Package Format` for bundle distribution.
|
|
(For backwards compatibility, all bundles can still be accessed from `dist` folder.)
|
|
|
|
|Bundle|Summary|
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
|`zone.js`| The default bundle. Contains the most used APIs such as `setTimeout/Promise/EventTarget...`, it also supports differential loading by importing this bundle using `import zone.js`. In legacy browsers it includes some additional patches such as `registerElement` and `EventTarget` like APIs.|
|
|
|`zone-testing.js`| The bundle for zone testing support of `jasmine` / `mocha` / `jest`. Also includes test utility functions `async` / `fakeAsync` / `sync`.|
|
|
|`zone-node.js`|The NodeJS support bundle.|
|
|
|`zone-mix.js`|A mixed bundle which supports both browser and NodeJS. Useful for mixed environment such as Electron.|
|
|
|`zone-externs.js`|the API definitions for `closure compiler`.|
|
|
|
|
Additional optional patches not included in the `zone.js` bundles which extend functionality.
|
|
The additional bundles can be found under `zone.js/plugins` folder.
|
|
To use these bundles, add the following code after importing zone.js bundle.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
import 'zone.js';
|
|
// For example, import canvas patch
|
|
import 'zone.js/plugins/zone-patch-canvas';
|
|
```
