The properties of the annotation classes are not really the public API.
Users will interact with these via a decorator, and the decorator
takes a single arg, typed with the args class. Thus the comment is
more useful on the arg class.
This also fixes the problem of intellisense/autocomplete not showing
the important docs as you fill in the properties in a decorator
declaration.
We had the same symbol exported as the interface
for Component decorator as well as the class for
Component annotation, and dgeni only showed the
latter.
Rename the interfaces for decorators with an ‘I’
prefix so they are retained in the .d.ts output.
Previously, when a return type was missing it
could have been any. But following #2746 we
require return types so remaining untyped returns
must be void.
In non-transformed mode the funcOrValue check was enough, but once
transformed these all use the same function for getters, so we need
to also check the name.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The Http module previously would return RxJS Observables from method calls
of the Http class. In order to support Dart, the module was refactored to
return the EventEmitter abstraction instead, which does not contain the same
combinators or subscription semantics as an RxJS Observable. However, the
EventEmitter provides a toRx() method which will return an RxJS Subject,
providing the same subscription and combinator conveniences as were
available prior to this refactor.
This is temporary, until issue #2794 is resolved, when Observables will
again be returned directly from Http class methods.
The BaseRequestOptions class is responsible for declaring default values,
while the RequestOptions class is merely responsible for setting values
based on values provided in the constructor.
BREAKING CHANGE: HttpFactory is no longer available.
This factory provided a function alternative to the `request` method of the
Http class, but added no real value. The additional factory required an
additional IHttp interface, an odd way to inject while preserving type information
(`@Inject(HttpFactory) http:IHttp`), and required additional documentation in the
http module.
Closes#2564
