BREAKING CHANGE:
The deprecated forms APIs in @angular/common have been removed. Please update to the new forms API in @angular/forms. See angular.io for more information.
Closes#9729
BREAKING CHANGE:
`Type` is now `Type<T>` which means that in most cases you have to
use `Type<any>` in place of `Type`.
We don't expect that any user applications use the `Type` type.
Because
- `Form` is **exported** -- see line 30/31 of
`modules/@angular/forms/src/forms.ts`: i.e., <br>`export {Form} from
'./directives/form_interface'`; and
- Methods of `Form`, which are public, have an
`AbstractFormGroupDirective` parameter;
e.g.,<br>`Form.getFormGroup(dir: AbstractFormGroupDirective):
FormGroup`.
Then it makes sense for `AbstractFormGroupDirective` to be
public/exported too. In any case, if it isn't exported then the **API
docs for `Form` don't get generated properly.**
Closes#9732
BREAKING CHANGE:
We have removed the deprecated form directives from the built-in platform directive list, so apps are not required to package forms with their app. This also makes forms friendly to offline compilation.
Instead, we have exposed three modules:
OLD API:
- `DeprecatedFormsModule`
NEW API:
- `FormsModule`
- `ReactiveFormsModule`
If you provide one of these modules, the default forms directives and providers from that module will be available to you app-wide. Note: You can provide both the `FormsModule` and the `ReactiveFormsModule` together if you like, but they are fully-functional separately.
**Before:**
```ts
import {disableDeprecatedForms, provideForms} from @angular/forms;
bootstrap(App, [
disableDeprecatedForms(),
provideForms()
]);
```
**After:**
```ts
import {DeprecatedFormsModule} from @angular/common;
bootstrap(App, {modules: [DeprecatedFormsModule] });
```
-OR-
```ts
import {FormsModule} from @angular/forms;
bootstrap(App, {modules: [FormsModule] });
```
-OR-
```ts
import {ReactiveFormsModule} from @angular/forms;
bootstrap(App, {modules: [ReactiveFormsModule] });
```
You can also choose not to provide any forms module and run your app without forms.
Or you can choose not to provide any forms module *and* provide form directives at will. This will allow you to use the deprecatedForms API for some components and not others.
```
import {FORM_DIRECTIVES, FORM_PROVIDERS} from @angular/forms;
@Component({
selector: some-comp,
directives: [FORM_DIRECTIVES],
providers: [FORM_PROVIDERS]
})
class SomeComp
```
- ts-api-guardian will now error if a new public symbol is added with a stability marker (`@stable`, `@experimental`, `@deprecated`)
- DomEventsPlugin and KeyEventsPlugin were removed from public api surface - these classes is an implementation detail
- deprecated BROWSER_PROVIDERS was removed completely
- `@angular/compiler` was removed from the ts-api-guardian check since this package shouldn't contain anything that users need to directly import
- the rest of the api surface was conservatively marked as stable or experimental
BREAKING CHANGES: DomEventsPlugin and KeyEventsPlugin previously exported from core are no longer public - these classes are implementation detail.
Previously deprecated BROWSER_PROVIDERS was completely removed from platform-browser.
