With these changes, the types are a little stricter now and also not
compatible with Protractor's jasmine-like syntax. So, we have to also
use `@types/jasminewd2` for e2e tests (but not for non-e2e tests).
I also had to "augment" `@types/jasminewd2`, because the latest
typings from [DefinitelyTyped][1] do not reflect the fact that the
`jasminewd2` version (v2.1.0) currently used by Protractor supports
passing a `done` callback to a spec.

Support for using the `ngModel` input property and `ngModelChange`
event with reactive form directives has been deprecated in
Angular v6 and will be removed in Angular v7.
Now deprecated:
```html
<input [formControl]="control" [(ngModel)]="value">
```
```ts
this.value = 'some value';
```
This has been deprecated for a few reasons. First, developers have
found this pattern confusing. It seems like the actual `ngModel`
directive is being used, but in fact it's an input/output property
named `ngModel` on the reactive form directive that simply approximates
(some of) its behavior. Specifically, it allows getting/setting the
value and intercepting value events. However, some of `ngModel`'s other
features - like delaying updates with`ngModelOptions` or exporting the
directive - simply don't work, which has understandably caused some
confusion.
In addition, this pattern mixes template-driven and reactive forms
strategies, which we generally don't recommend because it doesn't take
advantage of the full benefits of either strategy. Setting the value in
the template violates the template-agnostic principles behind reactive
forms, whereas adding a FormControl/FormGroup layer in the class removes
the convenience of defining forms in the template.
To update your code before v7, you'll want to decide whether to stick
with reactive form directives (and get/set values using reactive forms
patterns) or switch over to template-driven directives.
After (choice 1 - use reactive forms):
```html
<input [formControl]="control">
```
```ts
this.control.setValue('some value');
```
After (choice 2 - use template-driven forms):
```html
<input [(ngModel)]="value">
```
```ts
this.value = 'some value';
```
You can also choose to silence this warning by providing a config for
`ReactiveFormsModule` at import time:
```ts
imports: [
ReactiveFormsModule.withConfig({warnOnNgModelWithFormControl: 'never'});
]
```
Alternatively, you can choose to surface a separate warning for each
instance of this pattern with a config value of `"always"`. This may
help to track down where in the code the pattern is being used as the
code is being updated.
Note: `warnOnNgModelWithFormControl` is set up as deprecated so that it
can be removed in v7 when it is no longer needed. This will not display
properly in API docs yet because dgeni doesn't yet support deprecating
properties in object literals, but we have an open issue to resolve the
discrepancy here: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/22640.

BREAKING CHANGE:
- `AbstractControl#statusChanges` now emits an event of `'PENDING'` when you call `AbstractControl#markAsPending`
- Previously it did not emit an event when you called `markAsPending`
- To migrate you would need to ensure that if you are filtering or checking events from `statusChanges` that you account for the new event when calling `markAsPending`
PR Close#20212
Previously, the emitEvent flag was only checked when emitting on the current control.
Thus, if the control was part of a hierarchy, events were emitted on the parent and the childrens.
This fixes the issue by properly passing the emitEvent flag to both parent and childrens.

This commit introduces a new Input property called
`ngFormOptions` to the `NgForm` directive. You can use it
to set default `updateOn` values for all the form's child
controls. This default will be used unless the child has
already explicitly set its own `updateOn` value in
`ngModelOptions`.
Potential values: `change` | `blur` | `submit`
```html
<form [ngFormOptions]="{updateOn: blur}">
<input name="one" ngModel> <!-- will update on blur-->
</form>
```
For more context, see [#18577](https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/18577).
This commit introduces a new option to template-driven forms that
improves performance by delaying form control updates until the
"blur" or "submit" event. To use it, set the `updateOn` property
in `ngModelOptions`.
```html
<input ngModel [ngModelOptions]="{updateOn: blur}">
```
Like in AngularJS, setting `updateOn` to `blur` or `submit` will
delay the update of the value as well as the validation status.
Updating value and validity together keeps the system easy to reason
about, as the two will always be in sync. It's also worth noting
that the value/validation pipeline does still run when the form is
initialized (in order to support initial values).
Upcoming PRs will address:
* Support for setting group-level `updateOn` in template-driven forms
* Option for skipping initial validation run or more global error
display configuration
* Better support of reactive validation strategies
See more context in #18408, #18514, and the [design doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dlJjRXYeuHRygryK0XoFrZNqW86jH4wobftCFyYa1PA/edit#heading=h.r6gn0i8f19wz).
This commit adds support for setting default `updateOn` values
in `FormGroups` and `FormArrays`. If you set `updateOn` to
’blur’` at the group level, all child controls will default to `’blur’`,
unless the child has explicitly specified a different `updateOn` value.
```
const c = new FormGroup({
one: new FormControl()
}, {updateOn: blur});
```
It's worth noting that parent groups will always update their value and
validity immediately upon value/validity updates from children. In other
words, if a group is set to update on blur and its children are individually
set to update on change, the group will still update on change with its
children; its default value will simply not be used.
By default, the value and validation status of a `FormControl` updates
whenever its value changes. If an application has heavy validation
requirements, updating on every text change can sometimes be too expensive.
This commit introduces a new option that improves performance by delaying
form control updates until the "blur" event. To use it, set the `updateOn`
option to `blur` when instantiating the `FormControl`.
```ts
// example without validators
const c = new FormControl(, { updateOn: blur });
// example with validators
const c= new FormControl(, {
validators: Validators.required,
updateOn: blur
});
```
Like in AngularJS, setting `updateOn` to `blur` will delay the update of
the value as well as the validation status. Updating value and validity
together keeps the system easy to reason about, as the two will always be
in sync. It's also worth noting that the value/validation pipeline does
still run when the form is initialized (in order to support initial values).
Closes#7113
FormControls, FormGroups, and FormArrays now optionally accept an options
object as their second argument. Validators and async validators can be
passed in as part of this options object (though they can still be passed
in as the second and third arg as before).
```ts
const c = new FormControl(, {
validators: [Validators.required],
asyncValidators: [myAsyncValidator]
});
```
This commit also adds support for passing arrays of validators and async
validators to FormGroups and FormArrays, which formerly only accepted
individual functions.
```ts
const g = new FormGroup({
one: new FormControl()
}, [myPasswordValidator, myOtherValidator]);
```
This change paves the way for adding more options to AbstractControls,
such as more fine-grained control of validation timing.
With 4.2, we introduced the min and max validator directives. This was actually a breaking change because their selectors could include custom value accessors using the min/max properties for their own purposes.
For now, we are rolling back the change by removing the exports. At the least, we should wait to add them until a major version. In the meantime, we will have further discussion about what the best solution is going forward for all validator directives.
Closes#17491.

This commit fixes a regression where `ngModel` no longer syncs
letter by letter on Android devices, and instead syncs at the
end of every word. This broke when we introduced buffering of
IME events so IMEs like Pinyin keyboards or Katakana keyboards
wouldn't display composition strings. Unfortunately, iOS devices
and Android devices have opposite event behavior. Whereas iOS
devices fire composition events for IME keyboards only, Android
fires composition events for Latin-language keyboards. For
this reason, languages like English don't work as expected on
Android if we always buffer. So to support both platforms,
composition string buffering will only be turned on by default
for non-Android devices.
However, we have also added a `COMPOSITION_BUFFER_MODE` token
to make this configurable by the application. In some cases, apps
might might still want to receive intermediate values. For example,
some inputs begin searching based on Latin letters before a
character selection is made.
As a provider, this is fairly flexible. If you want to turn
composition buffering off, simply provide the token at the top
level:
```ts
providers: [
{provide: COMPOSITION_BUFFER_MODE, useValue: false}
]
```
Or, if you want to change the mode based on locale or platform,
you can use a factory:
```ts
import {shouldUseBuffering} from 'my/lib';
....
providers: [
{provide: COMPOSITION_BUFFER_MODE, useFactory: shouldUseBuffering}
]
```
Closes#15079.
PR Close#15256
Observable subscriptions from previous validation runs should be canceled
before a new subscription is created for the next validation run.
Currently the subscription that sets the errors is canceled properly,
but the source observable created by the validator is not. While this
does not affect validation status or error setting, the source
observables will incorrectly continue through the pipeline until they
complete. This change ensures that the whole stream is canceled.
AsyncValidatorFn previously had an "any" return type, but now it more
explicitly requires a Promise or Observable return type. We don't
anticipate this causing problems given that any other return type
would have caused a runtime error already.
This API was introduced only in a beta release, and is being removed because we found it to be incorrect prior to launch. For more information about why this is being removed, see https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/15050.
