TypeScript compiler will now build to ES2015 code and modules. Babili is used to minify ES2015
code, providing an initial optimization that we couldn't previously get just from Uglify. Uses
Babel to convert ES2015 to UMD/ES5 code, and Uglify to minimize the output.
Note that the duplication in tsconfig.json files will be fixed in a followup CL now that we have tsconfig inheritance
BREAKING CHANGE: Angular 4 will support only TypeScript 2.1, so we no longer provide backwards compatibility to TS 1.8.
BREAKING CHANGE: web worker platform is now exported via separate packages.
Please use @angular/platform-webworker and @angular/platform-webworker-dynamic
BREAKING CHANGE:
Exceptions are no longer part of the public API. We don't expect that anyone should be referring to the Exception types.
ExceptionHandler.call(exception: any, stackTrace?: any, reason?: string): void;
change to:
ErrorHandler.handleError(error: any): void;
Remove TestComponentBuilder, addProviders, and withProviders. These
were deprecated in rc5 - see the changelog for update information.
Note - this does not actually remove the functions, but makes them
internal only. They will be removed from the codebase entirely
at a later time.
Closes#9751
BREAKING CHANGE:
These forms of providers are no longer accepted:
bind(MyClass).toFactory(...)
new Provider(MyClass, toFactory: ...)
We now only accept:
{provider: MyClass, toFactory: ...}
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.
Remove test setup functions which were deprecated in rc5. See the
changelog for rc5 for how to update. In brief, instead of
`setBaseTestProviders`, use `TestBed.initTestEnvironment`.
Currently in the `linker/compiler.ts` file, the **same identifier** is used in **two declarations**:
```typescript
export type CompilerOptions = { … }
…
export const CompilerOptions = new OpaqueToken('compilerOptions');
```
This breaks the API doc generation. I’m surprised that this was not flagged by the tsc.
The duplicate declaration was introduced in 46b212706b.
If a `@NgModule` has a `bootstrap` property, `PlatformRef.bootstrapModule` /
`PlatformRef.bootstrapModuleFactory` will automatically bootstrap the components
listed in there.
If such a property does not exist, `PlatformRef.bootstrapModule` /
`PlatformRef.bootstrapModuleFactory` will try to call the method `ngDoBootstrap(appRef: ApplicationRef)` on the module class.
Otherwise an error is reported.
The methods on `ViewResolverMock` have been merged into `DirectiveResolver`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- ES5 users can no longer use the `View(…)` function to provide `ViewMetadata`.
This mirrors the removal of the `@View` decorator a while ago.
BREAKING CHANGES:
- `browserPlatform`/`browserDynamicPlatform`/... have been deprecated and renamed into `platformBrowser`/`platformBrowserDynamic`/....
- `bootstrapModule` and `bootstrapModuleFactory` have been moved to be members of `PlaformRef`.
E.g. `platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(MyModule)`.
This allows Angular to error on unknown properties,
allowing applications that don’t use custom elements
to get better error reporting.
Part of #10043
BREAKING CHANGE:
- By default, Angular will error during parsing
on unknown properties,
even if they are on elements with a `-` in their name
(aka custom elements). If you application is using
custom elements, fill the new parameter `@NgModule.schemas`
with the value `[CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]`.
E.g. for bootstrap:
```
bootstrap(MyComponent, {schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]});
```
Part of #10043
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `@Component.precompile` was renamed to `@Component.entryComponents`
(old property still works but is deprecated)
- `ANALYZE_FOR_PRECOMPILE` was renamed to `ANALYZE_FOR_ENTRY_COMPONENTS` (no deprecations)
