Every test now has an implicit module. It can be configured via `configureModule` (from @angular/core/testing) to add providers, directives, pipes, ... The compiler now has to be configured separately via `configureCompiler` (from @angular/core/testing) to add providers or define whether to use jit. BREAKING CHANGE: - Application providers can no longer inject compiler internals (i.e. everything from `@angular/compiler). Inject `Compiler` instead. This reflects the changes to `bootstrap` for module support (3f55aa609f60f130f1d69188ed057214b1267cb3). - Compiler providers can no longer be added via `addProviders` / `withProviders`. Use the new method `configureCompiler` instead. - Platform directives / pipes need to be provided via `configureModule` and can no longer be provided via the `PLATFORM_PIPES` / `PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES` tokens. - `setBaseTestProviders()` was renamed into `initTestEnvironment` and now takes a `PlatformRef` and a factory for a `Compiler`. - E.g. for the browser platform: BEFORE: ``` import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’; import {TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS, TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’; setBaseTestProviders(TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS, TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS); ``` AFTER: ``` import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’; import {browserTestCompiler, browserDynamicTestPlatform, BrowserDynamicTestModule} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’; initTestEnvironment( browserTestCompiler, browserDynamicTestPlatform(), BrowserDynamicTestModule); ``` - E.g. for the server platform: BEFORE: ``` import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’; import {TEST_SERVER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS, TEST_SERVER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS} from ‘@angular/platform-server/testing/server’; setBaseTestProviders(TEST_SERVER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS, TEST_SERVER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS); ``` AFTER: ``` import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’; import {serverTestCompiler, serverTestPlatform, ServerTestModule} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’; initTestEnvironment( serverTestCompiler, serverTestPlatform(), ServerTestModule); ``` Related to #9726 Closes #9846
Angular Router
Managing state transitions is one of the hardest parts of building applications. This is especially true on the web, where you also need to ensure that the state is reflected in the URL. In addition, we often want to split applications into multiple bundles and load them on demand. Doing this transparently isn’t trivial.
The Angular router is designed to solve these problems. Using the router, you can declaratively specify application state, manage state transitions while taking care of the URL, and load components on demand.
