Before, we would create all fields in the generated views
with visibility `private`. This does not work if an embedded
view references a directive / element in a parent view.
In Dart, this was no problem so far as it does not have
a `private` modifier.
Before, `useValue` in a provider did not work when doing
offline compile, as so far the `MetadataResolver` was only
used for jit mode. Now, `useValue` supports any kind of value
that the static reflector can return. E.g. primitives,
arrays, string maps, …
Closes#8366
Most of the bugs discovered so far in the offline compiler were related to the StaticReflector. As it was part of angular2 core, it was hard to update. Moving it into the compiler_cli allows to release more often until the compiler_cli gets more stable.
Note: Moving the unit test next to the sources is the simplest option for now in terms of build setup.
Note: This commit only does the move. The next commit updates the build to run it again.
This change adds providers for fake router dependecies.
This allows TestComponentBuilder to create components with RouterLink and RouterOutlet directives
without the test writer needing to override them.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- ViewRef.changeDetectorRef was removed as using ChangeDetectorRefs
for EmbeddedViewRefs does not make sense. Use ComponentRef.changeDetectorRef
or inject ChangeDetectorRef instead.
Fixes#8242
The previous code that had `try/catch` statements in methods could not be optimized by Chrome.
This change separates `AppView` (no `try/catch`) form `DebugAppView` (always `try/catch`). Our codegen will use `AppView` in production mode and `DebugAppView` in debug mode.
Closes#8338
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `DynamicComponentLoader` is deprecated. Use `ComponentResolver` and `ViewContainerRef` directly.
- `DebugNode.inject` is deprecated. use `DebugNode.injector.get` instead.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Before, a `EmbeddedViewRef` used to have methods for
setting variables. Now, a user has to pass in a context
object that represents all variables when an `EmbeddedViewRef`
should be created.
- `ViewContainerRef.createEmbeddedViewRef` now takes
a context object as 2nd argument.
- `EmbeddedViewRef.setLocal` and `getLocal` have been removed.
Use `EmbeddedViewRef.context` to access the context.
- `DebugNode.locals` has been removed. Use the new methods `DebugElement.references`
to get the references that are present on this element,
or `DebugElement.context` to get the context of the `EmbeddedViewRef` or the component to which the element belongs.
Closes#8321
These worked in Dart because they were effectively exported even without the export keyword.
Without exporting these symbols, they are not produced in .metadata.json files, which leaves
dangling references from the Decorators that use them.
