- Introduces `CompilerFactory` which can be part of a `PlatformRef`. - Introduces `WorkerAppModule`, `WorkerUiModule`, `ServerModule` - Introduces `serverDynamicPlatform` for applications using runtime compilation on the server. - Changes browser bootstrap for runtime and offline compilation (see below for an example). * introduces `bootstrapModule` and `bootstrapModuleFactory` in `@angular/core` * introduces new `browserDynamicPlatform` in `@angular/platform-browser-dynamic - Changes `initTestEnvironment` (which used to be `setBaseTestProviders`) to not take a compiler factory any more (see below for an example). BREAKING CHANGE: ## Migration from `setBaseTestProviders` to `initTestEnvironment`: - For the browser platform: BEFORE: ``` import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’; import {TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS, TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’; setBaseTestProviders(TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS, TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS); ``` AFTER: ``` import {initTestEnvironment} from ‘@angular/core/testing’; import {browserDynamicTestPlatform, BrowserDynamicTestModule} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’; initTestEnvironment( BrowserDynamicTestModule, browserDynamicTestPlatform()); ``` - For the server platform: BEFORE: ``` import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’; import {TEST_SERVER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS, TEST_SERVER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS} from ‘@angular/platform-server/testing/server’; setBaseTestProviders(TEST_SERVER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS, TEST_SERVER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS); ``` AFTER: ``` import {initTestEnvironment} from ‘@angular/core/testing’; import {serverTestPlatform, ServerTestModule} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’; initTestEnvironment( ServerTestModule, serverTestPlatform()); ``` ## Bootstrap changes ``` @AppModule({ modules: [BrowserModule], precompile: [MainComponent], providers: […], // additional providers directives: […], // additional platform directives pipes: […] // additional platform pipes }) class MyModule { constructor(appRef: ApplicationRef) { appRef.bootstrap(MainComponent); } } // offline compile import {browserPlatform} from ‘@angular/platform-browser’; import {bootstrapModuleFactory} from ‘@angular/core’; bootstrapModuleFactory(MyModuleNgFactory, browserPlatform()); // runtime compile long form import {browserDynamicPlatform} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic’; import {bootstrapModule} from ‘@angular/core’; bootstrapModule(MyModule, browserDynamicPlatform()); ``` Closes #9922 Part of #9726
Angular Router
Managing state transitions is one of the hardest parts of building applications. This is especially true on the web, where you also need to ensure that the state is reflected in the URL. In addition, we often want to split applications into multiple bundles and load them on demand. Doing this transparently isn’t trivial.
The Angular router is designed to solve these problems. Using the router, you can declaratively specify application state, manage state transitions while taking care of the URL, and load components on demand.
