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.
- Introduce `InjectionToken<T>` which is a parameterized and type-safe
version of `OpaqueToken`.
DEPRECATION:
- `OpaqueToken` is now deprecated, use `InjectionToken<T>` instead.
- `Injector.get(token: any, notFoundValue?: any): any` is now deprecated
use the same method which is now overloaded as
`Injector.get<T>(token: Type<T>|InjectionToken<T>, notFoundValue?: T): T;`.
Migration
- Replace `OpaqueToken` with `InjectionToken<?>` and parameterize it.
- Migrate your code to only use `Type<?>` or `InjectionToken<?>` as
injection tokens. Using other tokens will not be supported in the
future.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Because `injector.get()` is now parameterize it is possible that code
which used to work no longer type checks. Example would be if one
injects `Foo` but configures it as `{provide: Foo, useClass: MockFoo}`.
The injection instance will be that of `MockFoo` but the type will be
`Foo` instead of `any` as in the past. This means that it was possible
to call a method on `MockFoo` in the past which now will fail type
check. See this example:
```
class Foo {}
class MockFoo extends Foo {
setupMock();
}
var PROVIDERS = [
{provide: Foo, useClass: MockFoo}
];
...
function myTest(injector: Injector) {
var foo = injector.get(Foo);
// This line used to work since `foo` used to be `any` before this
// change, it will now be `Foo`, and `Foo` does not have `setUpMock()`.
// The fix is to downcast: `injector.get(Foo) as MockFoo`.
foo.setUpMock();
}
```
PR Close#13785
This change adds Compiler CLI support for any level of nesting for lazy routes.
For example `{app-root}/lazy-loaded-module-1/lazy-loaded-module-2/lazy-loaded-module-3`
Where `lazy-loaded-module-3` is lazy loaded from `lazy-loaded-module-2`,
and `lazy-loaded-module-2` is lazy loaded from module `lazy-loaded-module-1`,
and `lazy-loaded-module-1` is lazy loaded from `AppModule`
Fixesangular/angular-cli#3663
@angular/language-service now supports using TypeScript 2.1 as the
the TypeScript host. TypeScript 2.1 is now also partially supported
in `ngc` but is not recommended as Tsickle does not yet support 2.1.
When compiling libraries, this feature extracts the minimal information
from the directives/pipes/modules of the library into `.ngsummary.json` files,
so that applications that use this library only need to be recompiled
if one of the summary files change, but not on every change
of the libraries (e.g. one of the templates).
Only works if individual codegen for libraries is enabled,
see the `generateCodeForLibraries: false` option.
Closes#12787
Closes#10503
It is possible for code in `beforeEach` to capture and fork a zone
(for example creating `NgZone` in `beforeEach`). Subsequently the code
in `it` may chose to do `fakeAsync`. The issue is that because the
code in `it` can use `NgZone` from the `beforeEach`. it effectively can
escape the `fakeAsync` zone. A solution is to run all of the test in
`ProxyZone` which allows a test to dynamically replace the rules at any
time. This allows the `beforeEach` to fork a zone, and then `it` to
retroactively became `fakeAsync` zone.
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.
This makes `bootstrapModuleFactory` wait for promises
returned by `APP_INITIALIZER`s, also making `bootstrapModuleFactory` async.
I.e. now `bootstrapModule` and `bootstrapModuleFactory` behave in the
same way.
This ensures that all code from module instantiation, to creating
`ApplicationRef`s as well as calling `APP_INITIALIZERS` is run
in the Angular zone.
This also moves the invocation of the initializers from the `ApplicationRef`
constructor into the `bootstrapModuleFactory` call, allowing initializers
to get a hold of `ApplicationRef` (see #9101).
Fixes#9101Fixes#10363Fixes#10205
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)
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.
