# Deprecated APIs and features
|
||
|
||
Angular strives to balance innovation and stability.
|
||
Sometimes, APIs and features become obsolete and need to be removed or replaced so that Angular can stay current with new best practices, changing dependencies, or changes in the (web) platform itself.
|
||
|
||
To make these transitions as easy as possible, we deprecate APIs and features for a period of time before removing them. This gives you time to update your apps to the latest APIs and best practices.
|
||
|
||
This guide contains a summary of all Angular APIs and features that are currently deprecated.
|
||
|
||
|
||
<div class="alert is-helpful">
|
||
|
||
|
||
Features and APIs that were deprecated in v6 or earlier are candidates for removal in version 9 or any later major version. For information about Angular's deprecation and removal practices, see [Angular Release Practices](guide/releases#deprecation-practices "Angular Release Practices: Deprecation practices").
|
||
|
||
For step-by-step instructions on how to update to the latest Angular release, use the interactive update guide at [update.angular.io](https://update.angular.io).

||
## Index
|
||
|
||
To help you future-proof your apps, the following table lists all deprecated APIs and features, organized by the release in which they are candidates for removal. Each item is linked to the section later in this guide that describes the deprecation reason and replacement options.

{@a deprecated-features}
|
||
## Deprecated features
|
||
|
||
This section lists all of the currently-deprecated features, which includes template syntax, configuration options, and any other deprecations not listed in the [Deprecated APIs](#deprecated-apis) section above. It also includes deprecated API usage scenarios or API combinations, to augment the information above.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
{@a wtf}
|
||
### Web Tracing Framework integration
|
||
|
||
Angular previously has supported an integration with the [Web Tracing Framework (WTF)](https://google.github.io/tracing-framework/) for performance testing of Angular applications. This integration has not been maintained and defunct. As a result, the integration was deprecated in Angular version 8 and due to no evidence of any existing usage removed in version 9.
|
||
|
||
|
||
{@a deep-component-style-selector}
|
||
### `/deep/`, `>>>` and `:ng-deep` component style selectors
|
||
|
||
The shadow-dom-piercing descendant combinator is deprecated and support is being [removed from major browsers and tools](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2017/10/remove-shadow-piercing). As such, in v4 we deprecated support in Angular for all 3 of `/deep/`, `>>>` and `::ng-deep`. Until removal, `::ng-deep` is preferred for broader compatibility with the tools.
|
||
|
||
For more information, see [/deep/, >>>, and ::ng-deep](guide/component-styles#deprecated-deep--and-ng-deep "Component Styles guide, Deprecated deep and ngdeep")
|
||
in the Component Styles guide.
|
||
|
||
|
||
{@a template-tag}
|
||
### <template> tag
|
||
|
||
The `<template>` tag was deprecated in v4 to avoid colliding with the DOM's element of the same name (such as when using web components). Use `<ng-template>` instead. For more information, see the [Ahead-of-Time Compilation](guide/angular-compiler-options#enablelegacytemplate) guide.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
{@a ngmodel-reactive}
|
||
### ngModel with reactive forms
|
||
|
||
Support for using the `ngModel` input property and `ngModelChange` event with reactive form directives was deprecated in version 6.
|
||
|
||
For more information, see the usage notes for [`FormControlDirective`](api/forms/FormControlDirective#use-with-ngmodel) and [`FormControlName`](api/forms/FormControlName#use-with-ngmodel).
|
||
|
||
|
||
{@a reflectiveinjector}
|
||
### ReflectiveInjector
|
||
|
||
In v5, Angular replaced the `ReflectiveInjector` with the `StaticInjector`. The injector no longer requires the Reflect polyfill, reducing application size for most developers.
|
||
|
||
Before:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate(providers);
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
After:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Injector.create({providers});
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
{@a loadChildren}
|
||
### loadChildren string syntax
|
||
|
||
When Angular first introduced lazy routes, there wasn't browser support for dynamically loading additional JavaScript. Angular created our own scheme using the syntax `loadChildren: './lazy/lazy.module#LazyModule'` and built tooling to support it. Now that ECMAScript dynamic import is supported in many browsers, Angular is moving toward this new syntax.
|
||
|
||
In version 8, the string syntax for the [`loadChildren`](api/router/LoadChildren) route specification was deprecated, in favor of new syntax that uses `import()` syntax.
|
||
|
||
Before:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
const routes: Routes = [{
|
||
path: 'lazy',
|
||
// The following string syntax for loadChildren is deprecated
|
||
loadChildren: './lazy/lazy.module#LazyModule'
|
||
}];
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
After:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
const routes: Routes = [{
|
||
path: 'lazy',
|
||
// The new import() syntax
|
||
loadChildren: () => import('./lazy/lazy.module').then(m => m.LazyModule)
|
||
}];
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
<div class="alert is-helpful">
|
||
|
||
|
||
**Version 8 update**: When you update to version 8, the [`ng update`](cli/update) command performs the transformation automatically. Prior to version 7, the `import()` syntax only works in JIT mode (with view engine).
|
||
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<div class="alert is-helpful">
|
||
|
||
**Declaration syntax**: It's important to follow the route declaration syntax `loadChildren: () => import('...').then(m => m.ModuleName)` to allow `ngc` to discover the lazy-loaded module and the associated `NgModule`. You can find the complete list of allowed syntax constructs [here](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/a491b09800b493fe01301387fa9a025f7c7d4808/packages/ngtools/webpack/src/transformers/import_factory.ts#L104-L113). These restrictions will be relaxed with the release of Ivy since it'll no longer use `NgFactories`.
|
||
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
{@a activatedroute-props}
|
||
### ActivatedRoute params and queryParams properties
|
||
|
||
[ActivatedRoute](api/router/ActivatedRoute) contains two [properties](api/router/ActivatedRoute#properties) that are less capable than their replacements and may be deprecated in a future Angular version.
|
||
|
||
| Property | Replacement |
|
||
| -------- | ----------- |
|
||
| `params` | `paramMap` |
|
||
| `queryParams` | `queryParamMap` |
|
||
|
||
For more information see the [Router guide](guide/router#activated-route).
|
||
|
||
|
||
{@a reflect-metadata}
|
||
### Dependency on a reflect-metadata polyfill in JIT mode
|
||
Angular applications, and specifically applications that relied on the JIT compiler, used to require a polyfill for the [reflect-metadata](https://github.com/rbuckton/reflect-metadata) APIs.
|
||
|
||
The need for this polyfill was removed in Angular version 8.0 ([see #14473](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/14473)), rendering the presence of the poylfill in most Angular applications unnecessary. Because the polyfill can be depended on by 3rd-party libraries, instead of removing it from all Angular projects, we are deprecating the requirement for this polyfill as of version 8.0. This should give library authors and application developers sufficient time to evaluate if they need the polyfill, and perform any refactoring necessary to remove the dependency on it.
|
||
|
||
In a typical Angular project, the polyfill is not used in production builds, so removing it should not impact production applications. The goal behind this removal is overall simplification of the build setup and decrease in the number of external dependencies.
|
||
|
||
{@a static-query-resolution}
|
||
### `@ViewChild()` / `@ContentChild()` static resolution as the default
|
||
|
||
See the [dedicated migration guide for static queries](guide/static-query-migration).
|
||
|
||
{@a contentchild-input-together}
|
||
### `@ContentChild()` / `@Input()` used together
|
||
|
||
The following pattern is deprecated:
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
@Input() @ContentChild(TemplateRef) tpl !: TemplateRef<any>;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Rather than using this pattern, separate the two decorators into their own
|
||
properties and add fallback logic as in the following example:
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
@Input() tpl !: TemplateRef<any>;
|
||
@ContentChild(TemplateRef) inlineTemplate !: TemplateRef<any>;
|
||
```
|
||
{@a cant-assign-template-vars}
|
||
### Cannot assign to template variables
|
||
|
||
In the following example, the two-way binding means that `optionName`
|
||
should be written when the `valueChange` event fires.
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<option *ngFor="let optionName of options" [(value)]="optionName"></option>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
However, in practice, Angular simply ignores two-way bindings to template variables. Starting in version 8, attempting to write to template variables is deprecated. In a future version, we will throw to indicate that the write is not supported.
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<option *ngFor="let optionName of options" [value]="optionName"></option>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
{@a undecorated-base-classes}
|
||
### Undecorated base classes using Angular features
|
||
|
||
As of version 9, it's deprecated to have an undecorated base class that:
|
||
|
||
- uses Angular features
|
||
- is extended by a directive or component
|
||
|
||
Angular lifecycle hooks or any of the following Angular field decorators are considered Angular features:
|
||
|
||
- `@Input()`
|
||
- `@Output()`
|
||
- `@HostBinding()`
|
||
- `@HostListener()`
|
||
- `@ViewChild()` / `@ViewChildren()`
|
||
- `@ContentChild()` / `@ContentChildren()`
|
||
|
||
For example, the following case is deprecated because the base class uses `@Input()` and does not have a class-level decorator:
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
class Base {
|
||
@Input()
|
||
foo: string;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
@Directive(...)
|
||
class Dir extends Base {
|
||
ngOnChanges(): void {
|
||
// notified when bindings to [foo] are updated
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
In a future version of Angular, this code will start to throw an error.
|
||
To fix this example, add a selectorless `@Directive()` decorator to the base class:
|
||
|
||
```ts
|
||
@Directive()
|
||
class Base {
|
||
@Input()
|
||
foo: string;
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
@Directive(...)
|
||
class Dir extends Base {
|
||
ngOnChanges(): void {
|
||
// notified when bindings to [foo] are updated
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
In version 9, the CLI has an automated migration that will update your code for you when `ng update` is run.
|
||
See [the dedicated migration guide](guide/migration-undecorated-classes) for more information about the change and more examples.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
{@a binding-to-innertext}
|
||
### Binding to `innerText` in `platform-server`
|
||
|
||
[Domino](https://github.com/fgnass/domino), which is used in server-side rendering, doesn't support `innerText`, so in platform-server's "domino adapter", there was special code to fall back to `textContent` if you tried to bind to `innerText`.
|
||
|
||
These two properties have subtle differences, so switching to `textContent` under the hood can be surprising to users. For this reason, we are deprecating this behavior. Going forward, users should explicitly bind to `textContent` when using Domino.
|
||
|
||
{@a wtf-apis}
|
||
### `wtfStartTimeRange` and all `wtf*` APIs
|
||
|
||
All of the `wtf*` APIs are deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
|
||
|
||
{@a webworker-apps}
|
||
### Running Angular applications in platform-webworker
|
||
|
||
The `@angular/platform-*` packages enable Angular to be run in different contexts. For examples,
|
||
`@angular/platform-server` enables Angular to be run on the server, and `@angular/platform-browser`
|
||
enables Angular to be run in a web browser.
|
||
|
||
`@angular/platform-webworker` was introduced in Angular version 2 as an experiment in leveraging
|
||
Angular's rendering architecture to run an entire web application in a
|
||
[web worker](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API). We've learned a lot
|
||
from this experiment and have come to the conclusion that running the entire application in a web
|
||
worker is not the best strategy for most applications.
|
||
|
||
Going forward, we will focus our efforts related to web workers around their primary use case of
|
||
offloading CPU-intensive, non-critical work needed for initial rendering (such as in-memory search
|
||
and image processing). Learn more in the
|
||
[guide to Using Web Workers with the Angular CLI](guide/web-worker).
|
||
|
||
As of Angular version 8, all `platform-webworker` APIs are deprecated.
|
||
This includes both packages: `@angular/platform-webworker` and
|
||
`@angular/platform-webworker-dynamic`.
|
||
|
||
{@a entryComponents}
|
||
### `entryComponents` and `ANALYZE_FOR_ENTRY_COMPONENTS` no longer required
|
||
Previously, the `entryComponents` array in the `NgModule` definition was used to tell the compiler which components would be created and inserted dynamically. With Ivy, this isn't a requirement anymore and the `entryComponents` array can be removed from existing module declarations. The same applies to the `ANALYZE_FOR_ENTRY_COMPONENTS` injection token.
|
||
|
||
{@a moduleWithProviders}
|
||
### `ModuleWithProviders` type without a generic
|
||
|
||
Some Angular libraries, such as `@angular/router` and `@ngrx/store`, implement APIs that return a type called `ModuleWithProviders` (typically via a method named `forRoot()`).
|
||
This type represents an `NgModule` along with additional providers.
|
||
Angular version 9 deprecates use of `ModuleWithProviders` without an explicitly generic type, where the generic type refers to the type of the `NgModule`.
|
||
In a future version of Angular, the generic will no longer be optional.
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you're using the CLI, `ng update` should [migrate your code automatically](guide/migration-module-with-providers).
|
||
If you're not using the CLI, you can add any missing generic types to your application manually.
|
||
For example:
|
||
|
||
**Before**
|
||
```ts
|
||
@NgModule({...})
|

### `esm5` and `fesm5` code formats in @angular/* npm packages
|
||
|
||
As of Angular v8, the CLI primarily consumes the `fesm2015` variant of the code distributed via `@angular/*` npm packages.
|
||
This renders the `esm5` and `fesm5` distributions obsolete and unnecessary, adding bloat to the package size and slowing down npm installations.
|
||
|
||
The future removal of this distribution will have no impact on CLI users, unless they modified their build configuration to explicitly consume these code distributions.
|
||
|
||
Any application still relying on the `esm5` and `fesm5` as the input to its build system will need to ensure that the build pipeline is capable of accepting JavaScript code conforming to ECMAScript 2015 (ES2015) language specification.
|
||
|
||
Note that this change doesn't make existing libraries distributed in this format incompatible with the Angular CLI.
|
||
The CLI will fall back and consume libraries in less desirable formats if others are not available.
|
||
However, we do recommend that libraries ship their code in ES2015 format in order to make builds faster and build output smaller.
|
||
|
||
In practical terms, the `package.json` of all `@angular` packages will change in the following way:
|
||
|
||
**Before**:
|
||
```
|
||
{
|
||
"name": "@angular/core",
|
||
"version": "9.0.0",
|
||
"main": "./bundles/core.umd.js",
|
||
"module": "./fesm5/core.js",
|
||
"es2015": "./fesm2015/core.js",
|
||
"esm5": "./esm5/core.js",
|
||
"esm2015": "./esm2015/core.js",
|
||
"fesm5": "./fesm5/core.js",
|
||
"fesm2015": "./fesm2015/core.js",
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**After**:
|
||
```
|
||
{
|
||
"name": "@angular/core",
|
||
"version": "10.0.0",
|
||
"main": "./bundles/core.umd.js",
|
||
"module": "./fesm2015/core.js",
|
||
"es2015": "./fesm2015/core.js",
|
||
"esm2015": "./esm2015/core.js",
|
||
"fesm2015": "./fesm2015/core.js",
|
||
...
|
||
}
|
||
```

Deprecation announced in version 5

-->
|
||
|
||
|
||
The entire [`@angular/http`](http://v7.angular.io/api/http) package has been removed. Use [`@angular/common/http`](api/common/http) instead.
|
||
|
||
The new API is a smaller, easier, and more powerful way to make HTTP requests in Angular.
|
||
The new API simplifies the default ergonomics: There is no need to map by invoking the `.json()` method.
|
||
It also supports typed return values and interceptors.
|
||
|
||
To update your apps:
|
||
* Replace `HttpModule` with [`HttpClientModule`](api/common/http/HttpClientModule) (from [`@angular/common/http`](api/common/http)) in each of your modules.
|
||
* Replace the `Http` service with the [`HttpClient`](api/common/http/HttpClient) service.
|
||
* Remove any `map(res => res.json())` calls. They are no longer needed.
|
||
|
||
For more information about using `@angular/common/http`, see the [HttpClient guide](guide/http "HTTP Client guide").
