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.

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.

For step-by-step instructions on how to update to the latest Angular release, use the interactive update guide at update.angular.io.

This section contains a complete list all of the currently-deprecated APIs, with details to help you plan your migration to a replacement.

{@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 section above. It also includes deprecated API usage scenarios or API combinations, to augment the information above.

{@a component-styles}

Component styles

The shadow-piercing descendant combinator is deprecated and support is being removed from major browsers and tools. 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 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.

{@a ngform}

ngForm element selector

Support for using ngForm element selector was deprecated in v6. It has been deprecated to be consistent with other core Angular selectors, which are typically written in kebab-case.

Deprecated:

<ngForm #myForm="ngForm">

Replacement:

<ng-form #myForm="ngForm">

The NgFormSelectorWarning directive is solely used to display warnings when the deprecated ngForm selector is used.

{@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 and FormControlName.

{@a sw-versionedfiles}

Service worker versionedFiles

In the service worker configuration file ngsw-config.json, versionedFiles and files have the same behavior. As of v6, versionedFiles is deprecated; use files instead.

For more information, see Service Worker Configuration.

{@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 i18n-pipes}

Pipes using Intl API

Angular used to rely on the browser to provide number, date, and currency formatting using browser i18n APIs. This practice meant that most apps needed to use a polyfill, users were seeing inconsistent results across browsers, and common formats (such as the currency pipe) didn’t match developer expectations out of the box.

In version 4.3, Angular introduced new number, date, and currency pipes that increase standardization across browsers and eliminate the need for i18n polyfills. These pipes use the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) instead of the JS Intl API to provide extensive locale support.

In version 5.0.0, Angular updated its standard pipes to use the CLRD implementation. At that time, Angular also added DeprecatedI18NPipesModule and related APIs to provide limited-time access to the old behavior. If you need to use these Deprecated* pipes, see Angular change log and the Date Formats mappings.

Reminder: If you use these Deprecated* pipes, you should migrate to the current APIs listed above as soon as possible. These deprecated APIs are candidates for removal in the next major release.

{@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 v8, the string syntax for the 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)
}];

v8 update: When you update to version 8, the ng update command performs the transformation automatically. Prior to version 7, the import() syntax only works in JIT mode (with view engine).

{@a activatedroute-props}

ActivatedRoute params and queryParams properties

ActivatedRoute contains two 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.

{@a removed}

Removed APIs

The following APIs have been removed starting with version 8.0.0:

Package	API	Replacement	Notes
@angular/http	All exports	@angular/common/http	See below.
@angular/http/testing	All exports	@angular/common/http/testing	See below.
@angular/platform-browser	DOCUMENT	DOCUMENT in @angular/common	Updating to version 8 with ng update changes this automatically.

{@a http}

@angular/http

The entire @angular/http package has been removed. Use @angular/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 (from @angular/common/http) in each of your modules.
• Replace the Http service with the 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.
