## Polyfills
2017-03-31 19:57:13 -04:00
2017-02-22 13:09:39 -05:00
Angular is built on the latest standards of the web platform.
Targeting such a wide range of browsers is challenging because they do not support all features of modern browsers.
2017-11-02 17:29:59 -04:00
You compensate by loading polyfill scripts ("polyfills") for the browsers that you must support.
The [table below ](#polyfill-libs ) identifies most of the polyfills you might need.
2017-02-22 13:09:39 -05:00
2017-11-02 17:29:59 -04:00
< div class = "alert is-important" >
2017-03-27 11:08:53 -04:00
2017-11-02 17:29:59 -04:00
The suggested polyfills are the ones that run full Angular applications.
You may need additional polyfills to support features not covered by this list.
Note that polyfills cannot magically transform an old, slow browser into a modern, fast one.

In Angular CLI version 8 and higher, applications are built using *differential loading* , a strategy where the CLI builds two separate bundles as part of your deployed application.
2019-06-20 18:39:39 -04:00
* The first bundle contains modern ES2015 syntax, takes advantage of built-in support in modern browsers, ships less polyfills, and results in a smaller bundle size.
2019-06-18 15:40:25 -04:00
* The second bundle contains code in the old ES5 syntax, along with all necessary polyfills. This results in a larger bundle size, but supports older browsers.
This strategy allows you to continue to build your web application to support multiple browsers, but only load the necessary code that the browser needs.
For more information about how this works, see [Differential Loading ](guide/deployment#differential-loading ) in the [Deployment guide ](guide/deployment ).
2019-06-25 14:42:26 -04:00
## Enabling polyfills with CLI projects
2017-03-31 19:57:13 -04:00
2019-06-25 14:42:26 -04:00
The [Angular CLI ](cli ) provides support for polyfills.
If you are not using the CLI to create your projects, see [Polyfill instructions for non-CLI users ](#non-cli ).
2017-02-22 13:09:39 -05:00
2019-06-25 14:42:26 -04:00
When you create a project with the `ng new` command, a `src/polyfills.ts` configuration file is created as part of your project folder.
2017-11-02 17:29:59 -04:00
This file incorporates the mandatory and many of the optional polyfills as JavaScript `import` statements.
2017-02-22 13:09:39 -05:00
2019-06-25 14:42:26 -04:00
* The npm packages for the [_mandatory_ polyfills ](#polyfill-libs ) (such as `zone.js` ) are installed automatically for you when you create your project with `ng new` , and their corresponding `import` statements are already enabled in the `src/polyfills.ts` configuration file.
2017-02-22 13:09:39 -05:00
2019-06-25 14:42:26 -04:00
* If you need an _optional_ polyfill, you must install its npm package, then uncomment or create the corresponding import statement in the `src/polyfills.ts` configuration file.
For example, if you need the optional [web animations polyfill ](http://caniuse.com/#feat=web-animation ), you could install it with `npm` , using the following command (or the `yarn` equivalent):
2017-02-22 13:09:39 -05:00
2017-11-02 17:29:59 -04:00
< code-example language = "sh" class = "code-shell" >
2019-06-25 14:42:26 -04:00
# install the optional web animations polyfill
2017-11-02 17:29:59 -04:00
npm install --save web-animations-js
< / code-example >
2017-03-31 19:57:13 -04:00
2019-06-25 14:42:26 -04:00
You can then add the import statement in the `src/polyfills.ts` file.
For many polyfills, you can simply un-comment the corresponding `import` statement in the file, as in the following example.
2017-03-31 19:57:13 -04:00
2018-10-11 07:29:59 -04:00
< code-example header = "src/polyfills.ts" >
2017-11-02 17:29:59 -04:00
/**
* Required to support Web Animations `@angular/platform-browser/animations` .
* Needed for: All but Chrome, Firefox and Opera. http://caniuse.com/#feat=web-animation
** /
import 'web-animations-js'; // Run `npm install --save web-animations-js` .
< / code-example >
2017-02-22 13:09:39 -05:00
2019-06-25 14:42:26 -04:00
If the polyfill you want is not already in `polyfills.ts` file, add the `import` statement by hand.

feat(zone.js): upgrade zone.js to angular package format(APF) (#36540)
Close #35157
In the current version of zone.js, zone.js uses it's own package format, and it is not following the rule
of Angualr package format(APF), so it is not easily to be consumed by Angular CLI or other bundle tools.
For example, zone.js npm package has two bundles,
1. zone.js/dist/zone.js, this is a `es5` bundle.
2. zone.js/dist/zone-evergreen.js, this is a `es2015` bundle.
And Angular CLI has to add some hard-coding code to handle this case, ohttps://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/5376a8b1392ac7bd252782d8474161ce03a4d1cb/packages/schematics/angular/application/files/src/polyfills.ts.template#L55-L58
This PR upgrade zone.js npm package format to follow APF rule, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CZC2rcpxffTDfRDs6p1cfbmKNLA6x5O-NtkJglDaBVs/edit#heading=h.k0mh3o8u5hx
The updated points are:
1. in package.json, update all bundle related properties
```
"main": "./bundles/zone.umd.js",
"module": "./fesm2015/zone.js",
"es2015": "./fesm2015/zone.js",
"fesm2015": "./fesm2015/zone.js",
```
2. re-organize dist folder, for example for `zone.js` bundle, now we have
```
dist/
bundles/
zone.js // this is the es5 bundle
fesm2015/
zone.js // this is the es2015 bundle (in the old version is `zone-evergreen.js`)
```
3. have several sub-packages.
1. `zone-testing`, provide zone-testing bundles include zone.js and testing libraries
2. `zone-node`, provide zone.js implemention for NodeJS
3. `zone-mix`, provide zone.js patches for both Browser and NodeJS
All those sub-packages will have their own `package.json` and the bundle will reference `bundles(es5)` and `fesm2015(es2015)`.
4. keep backward compatibility, still keep the `zone.js/dist` folder, and all bundles will be redirected to `zone.js/bundles` or `zone.js/fesm2015` folders.
