Updating to Angular Version 9
This guide contains everything you need to know about updating to the next Angular version.
Updating CLI Apps
If your application uses the CLI, you can update to version 9 automatically with the help of the ng update script:
ng update @angular/core@8 @angular/cli@8
git add .
git commit --all -m "build: update Angular packages to latest 8.x version"
ng update @angular/cli @angular/core --next
Additionally, during the RC period, the --next command line flag is required. This flag will no longer be necessary once version 9 final is released.
The script will run a series of small migrations that will transform the code of your application to be compatible with version 9.
If you're curious about the specific migrations being run (e.g. what code is changing and why), see the automated migrations section.
Changes and Deprecations in Version 9
{@a breaking-changes}
New Breaking Changes
-
Angular now compiles with Ivy by default. See Ivy compatibility section.
-
CLI apps compile in AOT mode by default (which includes template type-checking). Users who only built with JIT before may see new type errors. See our template type-checking guide for more information and debugging tips.
-
Typescript 3.4 and 3.5 are no longer supported. Please update to Typescript 3.6.
-
tslib is now listed as a peer dependency rather than a direct dependency. Users not using the CLI will need to manually install tslib via
yarn add tslibornpm install tslib --save.
