Updating to Angular Version 9
This guide contains everything you need to know about updating to the next Angular version.
For step-by-step instructions on how to update to the latest Angular release, use the interactive update guide at update.angular.io.
Updating CLI Apps
If your application uses the CLI, you can update to version 9 automatically with the help of the ng update
script:
ng update @angular/core@8 @angular/cli@8
git add .
git commit --all -m "build: update Angular packages to latest 8.x version"
ng update @angular/cli @angular/core --next
Additionally, during the RC period, the --next
command line flag is required. This flag will no longer be necessary once version 9 final is released.
The script runs a series of small migrations that will transform the code of your application to be compatible with version 9. If you're curious about the specific migrations being run, see the automated migrations section for details on what code is changing and why.
Changes and Deprecations in Version 9
For information about Angular's deprecation and removal practices, see Angular Release Practices.
{@a breaking-changes}
New Breaking Changes
-
Angular now compiles with Ivy by default. See Ivy compatibility section.
-
CLI apps compile in AOT mode by default (which includes template type-checking). Users who only built with JIT before may see new type errors. See our template type-checking guide for more information and debugging tips.
-
Typescript 3.4 and 3.5 are no longer supported. Please update to Typescript 3.6.
-
tslib
is now listed as a peer dependency rather than a direct dependency. If you are not using the CLI, you must manually installtslib
, usingyarn add tslib
ornpm install tslib --save
.
