This contains major changes to the compiler, bootstrap of the platforms
and test environment initialization.
Main part of #10043Closes#10164
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Semantics and name of `@AppModule` (now `@NgModule`) changed quite a bit.
This is actually not breaking as `@AppModules` were not part of rc.4.
We will have detailed docs on `@NgModule` separately.
- `coreLoadAndBootstrap` and `coreBootstrap` can't be used any more (without migration support).
Use `bootstrapModule` / `bootstrapModuleFactory` instead.
- All Components listed in routes have to be part of the `declarations` of an NgModule.
Either directly on the bootstrap module / lazy loaded module, or in an NgModule imported by them.
The testing_e2e util does not belong in platform-browser and was never
intended to be a public API. Move it out of that whole tree.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The following API was never intended to be public and is removed:
```js
import {verifyNoBrowserErrors} from '@angular/platform-browser/testing_e2e';
```
Consider using Protractor's console plugin: https://github.com/angular/protractor-console-plugin
Animation triggers can now be set via template bindings `[]`
BREAKING CHANGE:
animation trigger expressions within the template that are assigned as
an element attribute (e.g. `@prop`) are deprecated. Please use the
Angular2 property binding syntax (e.g. `[@prop]`) when assigning
properties.
```ts
// this is now deprecated
<div @trigger="expression"></div>
// do this instead
<div [@trigger]="expression"></div>
```
This introduces the `BrowserModule` to be used for long form
bootstrap and offline compile bootstrap:
```
@AppModule({
modules: [BrowserModule],
precompile: [MainComponent],
providers: […], // additional providers
directives: […], // additional platform directives
pipes: […] // additional platform pipes
})
class MyModule {
constructor(appRef: ApplicationRef) {
appRef.bootstrap(MainComponent);
}
}
// offline compile
import {bootstrapModuleFactory} from ‘@angular/platform-browser’;
bootstrapModuleFactory(MyModuleNgFactory);
// runtime compile long form
import {bootstrapModule} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic’;
bootstrapModule(MyModule);
```
The short form, `bootstrap(...)`, can now creates a module on the fly,
given `directives`, `pipes, `providers`, `precompile` and `modules`
properties.
Related changes:
- make `SanitizationService`, `SecurityContext` public in `@angular/core` so that the offline compiler can resolve the token
- move `AnimationDriver` to `platform-browser` and make it
public so that the offline compiler can resolve the token
BREAKING CHANGES:
- short form bootstrap does no longer allow
to inject compiler internals (i.e. everything
from `@angular/compiler). Inject `Compiler` instead.
To provide custom providers for the compiler,
create a custom compiler via `browserCompiler({providers: [...]})`
and pass that into the `bootstrap` method.
- 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.
Closes#9236Closes#9235
Ref #9234
Previously, we were exporting internal mocks and helpers. Move these
to core/testing/testing_internal or remove them if they were
never used.
Remove deprecated items - injectAsync, clearPendingTimers.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Remove the following APIs from `@angular/core/testing`, which have been deprecated or were
never intended to be publicly exported:
```
injectAsync
clearPendingTimers
Log
MockAppliacationHref
MockNgZone
clearPendingTimers
getTypeOf
instantiateType
```
Instead of `injectAsync`, use `async(inject())`.
`clearPendingTimers` is no longer required.
Previously these symbols were exposed via platform-browser-dynamic, then we merged then into platform-browser
thinking that tools would know how to shake off the compiler and other dynamic bits not used with the offline
compilation flow. This turned out to be wrong as both webpack and rollup don't have good enough tree-shaking
capabilities to do this today. We think that in the future we'll be able to merge these two entry points into
one, but we need to give tooling some time before we can do it. In the meantime the reintroduction of the -dynamic
package point allows us to separate the compiler dependencies from the rest of the framework.
This change undoes the previous breaking change that removed the platform-browser-dynamic package.
