Introduces `ref-` to give a name to an element or a directive (also works for `<template>` elements), and `let-` to introduce an input variable for a `<template>` element.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `#...` now always means `ref-`.
- `<template #abc>` now defines a reference to the TemplateRef, instead of an input variable used inside of the template.
- `#...` inside of a *ngIf, … directives is deprecated.
Use `let …` instead.
- `var-...` is deprecated. Replace with `let-...` for `<template>` elements and `ref-` for non `<template>` elements.
Closes#7158Closes#8264
Each compile template now exposes a `<CompName>NgFactory` variable
with an instance of a `ComponentFactory`.
Calling `ComponentFactory.create` returns a `ComponentRef` that can
be used directly.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Compiler` is renamed to `ComponentResolver`,
`Compiler.compileInHost` has been renamed to `ComponentResolver.resolveComponent`.
- `ComponentRef.dispose` is renamed to `ComponentRef.destroy`
- `ViewContainerRef.createHostView` is renamed to `ViewContainerRef.createComponent`
- `ComponentFixture_` has been removed, the class `ComponentFixture`
can now be created directly as it is no more using private APIs.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Renderer:
* renderComponent method is removed form `Renderer`, only present on `RootRenderer`
* Renderer.setDebugInfo is removed. Renderer.createElement / createText / createTemplateAnchor
now take the DebugInfo directly.
- Query semantics:
* Queries don't work with dynamically loaded components.
* e.g. for router-outlet: loaded components can't be queries via @ViewQuery,
but router-outlet emits an event `activate` now that emits the activated component
- Exception classes and the context inside changed (renamed fields)
- DebugElement.attributes is an Object and not a Map in JS any more
- ChangeDetectorGenConfig was renamed into CompilerConfig
- AppViewManager.createEmbeddedViewInContainer / AppViewManager.createHostViewInContainer
are removed, use the methods in ViewContainerRef instead
- Change detection order changed:
* 1. dirty check component inputs
* 2. dirty check content children
* 3. update render nodes
Closes#6301Closes#6567
Replace direct uses of `print` in the transformer with explicit uses of
stderr.
Add a few @override annotations for clarification of other `print`
implementations.
Clarify error message on incorrect custom_annotations value.
Closes#7855
Update the Angular 2 transformer to recognize
`package:angular2/platform/browser.dart` as the library which exports
the `bootstrap` function.
Update playground, examples, benchmarks, & tests to import bootstrap from
platform/browser.
Closes#7647
Create transformers that allow specifying transformer actions on
specific libraries.
* angular2/transform/codegen: Generates all necessary code.
* angular2/transform/reflection_rewriter: Replaces `bootstrap` calls in
application entry points to remove transitive dart:mirrors import,
resulting in smaller code size & faster execution.
* angular2/transform/deferred_rewriter: Rewrites deferred imports and
`loadLibrary` calls to initialize Angular2 and preserve deferred
operation.
Proper configuration of these three transformers can replace the single
angular2 transformer, resulting in significant performance gains for
builds of large angular2 apps.
Update angular2 itself to declare the codegen transformer, since it has
neither deferred imports nor application entry points.
Remove the undocumented & unused quick_transformer.
BREAKING CHANGE:
`OnPushObserve` was an experimental
feature for Dart and had
conceptual performance problems,
as setting up observables is slow.
Use `OnPush` instead.
