# Upgrading from AngularJS (in a more flexible way)
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="alert is-helpful">
|
||||
|
||||
_Angular_ is the name for the Angular of today and tomorrow.<br />
|
||||
_AngularJS_ is the name for all 1.x versions of Angular.
|
||||
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
This guide describes some of the built-in tools for efficiently migrating AngularJS projects over
|
||||
to the Angular platform, one piece at a time. It is very similar to the
|
||||
[main upgrade guide](guide/upgrade) with the exception that this one uses the {@link downgradeModule
|
||||
downgradeModule()} helper function instead of the {@link UpgradeModule UpgradeModule} class. This
|
||||
affects how the application is bootstrapped and how change detection is propagated between the two
|
||||
frameworks (more on that later).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Preparation
|
||||
|
||||
Before we start discussing how you can use `downgradeModule()` to create hybrid applications, there
|
||||
are things that you can do to ease the upgrade process even before you begin upgrading. Although not
|
||||
strictly necessary, preparation goes a long way! The steps are the same regardless how you upgrade,
|
||||
so go ahead and read the [Preparation](guide/upgrade#preparation) section of the main upgrade guide.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Upgrading with ngUpgrade
|
||||
|
||||
With the ngUpgrade library in Angular you can upgrade an existing AngularJS application
|
||||
incrementally, by building a hybrid application where you can run both frameworks side-by-side. In
|
||||
these hybrid applications you can mix and match AngularJS and Angular components and services and
|
||||
have them interoperate seamlessly. That means you don't have to do the upgrade work all at once,
|
||||
since there is a natural coexistence between the two frameworks during the transition period.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### How ngUpgrade Works
|
||||
|
||||
Regardless of whether you choose `downgradeModule()` or `UpgradeModule`, the basic principles of
|
||||
upgrading, the mental model behind hybrid applications and how you use the {@link upgrade/static
|
||||
upgrade/static} utilities remain the same. You can read about all that in the
|
||||
[How ngUpgrade Works](guide/upgrade#how-ngupgrade-works) section of the main upgrade guide.
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="alert is-helpful">
|
||||
|
||||
The [Change Detection](guide/upgrade#change-detection) sub-section only applies to applications
|
||||
that use `UpgradeModule`. Change detection is handled differently with `downgradeModule()`.<br />
|
||||
We still recommend reading the sub-section in order to better understand the differences and their
|
||||
implications.
|
||||
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Change Detection with `downgradeModule()`
|
||||
|
||||
As mentioned before, one of the key differences between `downgradeModule()` and `UpgradeModule` has
|
||||
to do with change detection and how it is propagated between the two frameworks.
|
||||
|
||||
With `UpgradeModule`, the two change detection systems are tied together more tightly. Whenever
|
||||
something happens in the AngularJS part of the application, change detection is automatically
|
||||
triggered on the Angular part and vice versa. This is convenient as it ensures that no important
|
||||
change is missed by either framework. Most of the time, though, these extra change detection runs
|
||||
are unnecesary.
|
||||
|
||||
`downgradeModule()`, on the other side, avoids explicitly triggering change detection, unless it
|
||||
knows the other part of the application is interested in the changes. One way to know, for example,
|
||||
is when a value is bound to the {@link Input input} of a downgraded component. If the component
|
||||
defines an `Input`, chances are it needs to be change-detected when that value changes. Thus,
|
||||
`downgradeComponent()` _will_ automatically trigger change detection on that component.
|
||||
|
||||
In most cases, though, the changes made locally in a particular component are of no interest to the
|
||||
rest of the application. For example, if the user clicks a button that submits a form the component
|
||||
will usually handle the result of this action. That being said, there _are_ cases, where you want to
|
||||
propagate changes to some other part of the application, that may be controlled by the other
|
||||
framework. In such cases, you are responsible for notifying the interested parties, by manually
|
||||
triggering change detection.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want a particular piece of code to trigger change detection in the AngularJS part of the
|
||||
application, you need to wrap it in
|
||||
[scope.$apply(...)](https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/type/$rootScope.Scope#$apply). Similarly, for
|
||||
triggering change detection in Angular you would use {@link NgZone#run ngZone.run(...)}.
|
||||
|
||||
In many cases, a few extra change detection runs may not matter much. On larger or
|
||||
change-detection-heavy applications, though, they can have a noticeable impact. By giving you more
|
||||
fine-grained control over the change detection propagation, `downgradeModule()` allows you to
|
||||
achieve better performance for your hybrid applications.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Using `downgradeModule()`
|
||||
|
||||
Both AngularJS and Angular have their own concept of modules to help organize an application into
|
||||
cohesive blocks of functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
Their details are quite different in architecture and implementation. In AngularJS, you create a
|
||||
module by specifying its name and dependencies with
|
||||
[angular.module()](https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/function/angular.module). Then you can add
|
||||
assets using its various methods. In Angular, you create a class adorned with an {@link NgModule
|
||||
NgModule} decorator that describes assets in metadata. The differences blossom from there.
|
||||
|
||||
In a hybrid application you run both frameworks at the same time. This means that you need at least
|
||||
one module each from both AngularJS and Angular.
|
||||
|
||||
For the most part, you specify the modules in the same way as you would for a regular application.
|
||||
Then, you use the `upgrade/static` helpers to let the two frameworks know about assets they can use
|
||||
from each other. This is known as "upgrading" and "downgrading" (more on how this is done later).
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="alert is-helpful">
|
||||
|
||||
<b>Definitions:</b>
|
||||
|
||||
- _Upgrading_: The act of making an AngularJS asset (e.g. component or service) available to the
|
||||
Angular part of the application.
|
||||
- _Downgrading_: The act of making an Angular asset (e.g. component or service) available to the
|
||||
AngularJS part of the application.
|
||||
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
An important part of inter-linking dependencies, is linking the two main modules together. This is
|
||||
where `downgradeModule()` comes in. It is used to create an AngularJS module — one that you
|
||||
can use as a dependency in your main AngularJS module — that will bootstrap your main Angular
|
||||
module and kick off the Angular part of the hybrid application. In a sense, it takes an Angular
|
||||
module and "downgrades" it to an AngularJS module.
|
||||
|
||||
There are a few things to note, though:
|
||||
|
||||
1. You don't pass the Angular module directly to `downgradeModule()`. All `downgradeModule()` needs
|
||||
is a "recipe" (e.g. a factory function) for creating an instance for your module.
|
||||
|
||||
2. The Angular module is not instantiated until it is actually needed.
|
||||
|
||||
We will expand on these two points below. For now, let's see how we can use `downgradeModule()` to
|
||||
link the two modules.
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
// Import `downgradeModule()`.
|
||||
import { downgradeModule } from '@angular/upgrade/static';
|
||||
|
||||
// Use it to "downgrade" the Angular module to an AngularJS module.
|
||||
const downgradedModule = downgradeModule(MainAngularModuleFactory);
|
||||
|
||||
// Use the downgraded module as a dependency to the main AngularJS module.
|
||||
angular.module('mainAngularJsModule', [
|
||||
downgradedModule
|
||||
]);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Specifying a factory for the Angular module
|
||||
|
||||
As mentioned before, `downgradeModule()` needs to know how to instantiate the Angular module. It
|
||||
needs a "recipe". You define that recipe, by providing a factory function that can create an
|
||||
instance of the Angular module. `downgradeModule()` accepts two types of factory functions:
|
||||
|
||||
1. {@link NgModuleFactory NgModuleFactory}
|
||||
2. (extraProviders: {@link StaticProvider StaticProvider}[]) => Promise<{@link NgModuleRef NgModuleRef}>
|
||||
|
||||
If you pass an `NgModuleFactory`, it will be used to instantiate the module using
|
||||
{@link platformBrowser platformBrowser}'s {@link PlatformRef#bootstrapModuleFactory
|
||||
bootstrapModuleFactory()}. This is great, because it is compatible with Ahead-of-Time (AoT)
|
||||
compilation. You can read more about AoT compilation and how to create an `NgModuleFactory` in the
|
||||
[AoT Compilation](guide/aot-compiler) guide.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can pass a plain function, which is expected to return a promise resolving to an
|
||||
{@link NgModuleRef NgModuleRef} (i.e. an instance of your Angular module). The function is called
|
||||
with an array of extra {@link StaticProvider Providers} that are expected to be available on the returned
|
||||
`NgModuleRef`'s {@link Injector Injector}. For example, if you are using {@link platformBrowser
|
||||
platformBrowser} or {@link platformBrowserDynamic platformBrowserDynamic}, you can pass the
|
||||
`extraProviders` array to them:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts
|
||||
const bootstrapFn = (extraProviders: StaticProvider[]) => {
|
||||
const platformRef = platformBrowserDynamic(extraProviders);
|
||||
return platformRef.bootstrapModule(MainAngularModule);
|
||||
};
|
||||
// or
|
||||
const bootstrapFn = (extraProviders: StaticProvider[]) => {
|
||||
const platformRef = platformBrowser(extraProviders);
|
||||
return platformRef.bootstrapModuleFactory(MainAngularModuleFactory);
|
||||
};
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Using an `NgModuleFactory` requires less boilerplate and is a good default option as it supports
|
||||
AoT out-of-the-box. Using a custom function requires slightly more code, but gives you greater
|
||||
flexibility.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Instantiating the Angular module "on-demand"
|
||||
|
||||
Another key difference between `downgradeModule()` and `UpgradeModule` is that the latter requires
|
||||
you to instantiate both the AngularJS and Angular modules up-front. This means that you have to pay
|
||||
the cost of instantiating the Angular part of the application, even if you don't use any Angular
|
||||
assets until later. `downgradeModule()` is again less aggressive: It will only instantiate the
|
||||
Angular part when it is required for the first time; i.e. as soon as a downgraded component needs to
|
||||
be created.
|
||||
|
||||
You could go a step further and not even download the code for the Angular part of the application
|
||||
to the user's browser, until it is needed. This is especially useful, when you use Angular on parts
|
||||
of the hybrid application that are not necessary for the initial rendering or are not often reached
|
||||
by the user (or not reached by all types of users).
|
||||
|
||||
A few examples:
|
||||
|
||||
- You use Angular on specific routes only and you don't need it until/if such a route is visited by
|
||||
the user.
|
||||
- You use Angular for features that are only visible to specific types of users (e.g. logged-in
|
||||
users or administrators or VIP members). You don't need to load Angular until a user is
|
||||
authenticated.
|
||||
- You use Angular for a feature that is not critical for the initial rendering of the application
|
||||
and you can afford a small delay in favor of better initial load performance.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Bootstrapping with `downgradeModule()`
|
||||
|
||||
As you may have guessed, you don't need to change anything in the way you bootstrap your existing
|
||||
AngularJS application. Unlike `UpgradeModule` — which requires some extra steps —
|
||||
`downgradeModule()` is able to take care of bootstrapping the Angular module (as long as you provide
|
||||
the recipe).
|
||||
|
||||
In order to start using any `upgrade/static` APIs, you still need to load the Angular framework (as
|
||||
you would in a normal Angular application). You can see how this can be done with SystemJS by
|
||||
following the instructions in the [Setup](guide/setup) guide, selectively copying code from the
|
||||
[QuickStart github repository](https://github.com/angular/quickstart).
|
||||
|
||||
You also need to install the `@angular/upgrade` package via `npm install @angular/upgrade --save`
|
||||
and add a mapping for the `@angular/upgrade/static` package:
|
||||
|
||||
<code-example title="system.config.js">
|
||||
'@angular/upgrade/static': 'npm:@angular/upgrade/bundles/upgrade-static.umd.js',
|
||||
</code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
Next, create an `app.module.ts` file and add the following `NgModule` class:
|
||||
|
||||
<code-example title="app.module.ts">
|
||||
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
|
||||
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
|
||||
|
||||
@NgModule({
|
||||
imports: [
|
||||
BrowserModule
|
||||
]
|
||||
})
|
||||
export class MainAngularModule {
|
||||
// Empty placeholder method to prevent the `Compiler` from complaining.
|
||||
ngDoBootstrap() {}
|
||||
}
|
||||
</code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
This bare minimum `NgModule` imports `BrowserModule`, the module every Angular browser-based app
|
||||
must have. It also defines an empty `ngDoBootstrap()` method, to prevent the {@link Compiler
|
||||
Compiler} from complaining. This is necessary, because the module will not have a `bootstrap`
|
||||
declaration on its `NgModule` decorator.
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="alert is-important">
|
||||
|
||||
You do not add a `bootstrap` declaration to the `NgModule` decorator, since AngularJS will own the
|
||||
root template of the application and ngUpgrade will be bootstrapping the necessary components.
|
||||
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
You can now link the AngularJS and Angular modules together using `downgradeModule()`.
|
||||
|
||||
<code-example title="app.module.ts">
|
||||
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
|
||||
import { downgradeModule } from '@angular/upgrade/static';
|
||||
|
||||
const bootstrapFn = (extraProviders: StaticProvider[]) => {
|
||||
const platformRef = platformBrowserDynamic(extraProviders);
|
||||
return platformRef.bootstrapModule(MainAngularModule);
|
||||
};
|
||||
const downgradedModule = downgradeModule(bootstrapFn);
|
||||
|
||||
angular.module('mainAngularJsModule', [
|
||||
downgradedModule
|
||||
]);
|
||||
</code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
Congratulations! You are running a hybrid application! The existing AngularJS code works as before
|
||||
_and_ you are ready to start adding Angular code.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Using Components and Injectables
|
||||
|
||||
The differences between `downgradeModule()` and `UpgradeModule` end here. The rest of the
|
||||
`upgrade/static` APIs and concepts work in the exact same way for both types of hybrid applications.
|
||||
Head over to the [main upgrade guide](guide/upgrade) to learn about:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Using Angular Components from AngularJS Code](guide/upgrade#using-angular-components-from-angularjs-code)
|
||||
- [Using AngularJS Component Directives from Angular Code](guide/upgrade#using-angularjs-component-directives-from-angular-code)
|
||||
- [Projecting AngularJS Content into Angular Components](guide/upgrade#projecting-angularjs-content-into-angular-components)
|
||||
- [Transcluding Angular Content into AngularJS Component Directives](guide/upgrade#transcluding-angular-content-into-angularjs-component-directives)
|
||||
- [Making AngularJS Dependencies Injectable to Angular](guide/upgrade#making-angularjs-dependencies-injectable-to-angular)
|
||||
- [Making Angular Dependencies Injectable to AngularJS](guide/upgrade#making-angular-dependencies-injectable-to-angularjs)
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="alert is-important">
|
||||
|
||||
While it is possible to downgrade injectables, the downgraded injectables will _not_ be available
|
||||
until the Angular module is instantiated too. In order to be safe, you need to ensure that the
|
||||
downgraded injectables are not used anywhere _outside_ the part of the application that is
|
||||
controlled by Angular.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, it is _OK_ to use a downgraded service in an upgraded component that is only used
|
||||
from Angular components, but it is _not OK_ to use it in an AngularJS component that may be used
|
||||
independently of Angular.
|
||||
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Using Ahead-of-Time compilation with hybrid applications
|
||||
|
||||
You can take advantage of Ahead-of-Time (AoT) compilation on hybrid applications just like on any
|
||||
other Angular application. The setup for a hybrid application is mostly the same as described in the
|
||||
[AoT Compilation](guide/aot-compiler) guide save for differences in `index.html` and `main-aot.ts`.
|
||||
|
||||
The `index.html` will likely have script tags loading AngularJS files, so the `index.html` for AoT
|
||||
must also load those files. An easy way to copy them is by adding each to the `copy-dist-files.js`
|
||||
file.
|
||||
|
||||
You will also need to pass the generated `MainAngularModuleFactory` to `downgradeModule()`, instead of
|
||||
the custom bootstrap function:
|
||||
|
||||
<code-example title="app/main-aot.ts">
|
||||
import { downgradeModule } from '@angular/upgrade/static';
|
||||
import { MainAngularModuleNgFactory } from '../aot/app/app.module.ngfactory';
|
||||
|
||||
const downgradedModule = downgradeModule(MainAngularModuleNgFactory);
|
||||
|
||||
angular.module('mainAngularJsModule', [
|
||||
downgradedModule
|
||||
]);
|
||||
</code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
And that is all you need to do to get the full benefit of AoT for Angular applications!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Wrap up
|
||||
|
||||
You have learned how to use the {@link upgrade/static upgrade/static} package to incrementally
|
||||
upgrade existing AngularJS applications at your own pace and without impeding further development of
|
||||
the application for the duration of the upgrade process.
|
||||
|
||||
More specifically, you have seen how you can achieve better performance and greater flexibility in
|
||||
your hybrid applications, by using {@link downgradeModule downgradeModule()} (instead of
|
||||
{@link UpgradeModule UpgradeModule}).
|
||||
|
||||
To summarize, the key differentiating factors of `downgradeModule()` are:
|
||||
|
||||
1. It allows instantiating (or even loading) the Angular part lazily, which improves the initial
|
||||
loading time (and is some cases may waive the cost of running a second framework altogether).
|
||||
2. It improves performance by avoiding unnecessary change detection runs, instead putting more
|
||||
responsibility on the developer.
|
||||
3. It does not require you to change how you bootstrap your AngularJS app.
|
||||
|
||||
Based on that, `downgradeModule()` is a good option for hybrid applications that want keep the
|
||||
AngularJS and Angular parts less coupled. You can still mix and match components and services from
|
||||
both frameworks, but you might need to manually propagate change detection. In return,
|
||||
`downgradeModule()` offers more control and better performance characteristics.
|
||||
|
||||
There is merit in both approaches, so you should always weight the pros and cons before deciding
|
||||
which one better meets the upgrading needs of each project.
