Zone.js

Implements Zones for JavaScript, inspired by Dart.

If you're using zone.js via unpkg (i.e. using https://unpkg.com/zone.js) and you're using any of the following libraries, make sure you import them first

• 'newrelic' as it patches global.Promise before zone.js does
• 'async-listener' as it patches global.setTimeout, global.setInterval before zone.js does
• 'continuation-local-storage' as it uses async-listener

NEW Zone.js POST-v0.6.0

See the new API here.

Read up on Zone Primer.

BREAKING CHANGES since Zone.js v0.11.1

Prior to v0.11.1, Zone.js provided two distribution bundle formats in the dist folder. They were (1) ES5 bundle distributed as zone.js and (2) ES2015 bundle distributed as zone-evergreen.js. These bundles are used for Angular's differential-loading mechanism.

Prior to v0.11.11 the following code

import 'zone.js';

would load the ES5 bundle from dist/zone.js.

Starting with v0.11.1, Zone.js follows the Angular Package Format, so the folder structure of the Zone.js bundles is updated to match Angular Package Format. So the same code

import 'zone.js';

now loads the ES2015 bundle instead.

This is a breaking change for legacy browsers such as IE11.

For backwards compatibility zone.js continues to distribute the same bundles under dist. To restore the old behavior change the polyfills.ts generated by Angular CLI to import like so:

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';

For details, please refer the changelog and the PR.

What's a Zone?

A Zone is an execution context that persists across async tasks. You can think of it as thread-local storage for JavaScript VMs.

See this video from ng-conf 2014 for a detailed explanation:

Standard API support

zone.js patched most standard web APIs (such as DOM events, XMLHttpRequest, ...) and nodejs APIs (EventEmitter, fs, ...), for more details, please see STANDARD-APIS.md.

Nonstandard API support

We are adding support to some nonstandard APIs, such as MediaQuery and Notification. Please see NON-STANDARD-APIS.md for more details.

Examples

You can find some samples to describe how to use zone.js in SAMPLE.md.

Modules

zone.js patches the async APIs described above, but those patches will have some overhead. Starting from zone.js v0.8.9, you can choose which web API module you want to patch. For more details, please see MODULE.md.

Bundles

Starting with v0.11.0, zone.js uses Angular Package Format for bundle distribution. (For backwards compatibility, all bundles can still be accessed from dist folder.)

Bundle	Summary
zone.js	The default bundle. Contains the most used APIs such as setTimeout/Promise/EventTarget..., it also supports differential loading by importing this bundle using import zone.js. In legacy browsers it includes some additional patches such as registerElement and EventTarget like APIs.
zone-testing.js	The bundle for zone testing support of jasmine / mocha / jest. Also includes test utility functions async / fakeAsync / sync.
zone-node.js	The NodeJS support bundle.
zone-mix.js	A mixed bundle which supports both browser and NodeJS. Useful for mixed environment such as Electron.
zone-externs.js	the API definitions for closure compiler.

Additional optional patches not included in the zone.js bundles which extend functionality. The additional bundles can be found under zone.js/plugins folder. To use these bundles, add the following code after importing zone.js bundle.

import 'zone.js';
// For example, import canvas patch
import 'zone.js/plugins/zone-patch-canvas';

webapis-media-query.js	patch for MediaQuery APIs
