Usage: bootstrap the app with the special binding
`ELEMENT_PROBE_CONFIG` from `angular2/debug`.
This will provide a global method `ngProbe(element)` that
will expose a `DebugElement` with directive instances, ... on it.
During tests that use Angular's test injector, the probe is
enabled by default. The `DebugElement ` can be retrieved via the
function `inspectDomElement` of `angular2/debug`. Note
that the `TestComponentBuilder` already returns `DebugElement `s.
Closes#1992
BREAKING CHANGE:
`AppViewManager.createInPlaceHostView` is replaced by
`AppViewManager.createRootHostView` (for bootstrap) and
`AppViewManager.createFreeHostView` (for imperative components).
The later creates new host elements that are not attached anywhere.
To attach them, use `DomRenderer.getHostElement(hostviewRef)`
to get the host element.
Closes#1920
Also consolidates metadata handling in `ElementInjector`
BREAKING CHANGE:
- renames `DirectiveMetadataReader` into `DirectiveResolver`
and removes `src/core/compiler/directive_metadata`.
Fixes#1712Fixes#1713
BREAKING CHANGE:
VmTurnZone has been renamed to NgZone.
- The public API has not chnanged,
- The "outer" zone is now named "mount" zone (private to NgZone).
Before this PR there were only 2 zones: root zone = outer zone > inner
zone.
This PR creates the outer zone as a fork of the root zone: root > outer
> inner.
By doing this it is possible to detected microtasks scheduling in the
outer zone and run the change detection less often (no more than one
time per VM turn).
The PR also introduce a Promise monkey patch for the JS implementation.
It makes Promises aware of microtasks and again allow running the change
detection only once per turn.
The goal is to make implementing a renderer straight forward.
BREAKING_CHANGE:
- Renderer interface was redone / simplified.
- `DirectDomRenderer` was replaced by `DomRenderer`.
- `DirectDomRenderer.setImperativeComponentRootNodes` is replaced
by the following 2 steps:
1. `ViewManager.getComponentView(elementRef) -> ViewRef`
2. `DomRenderer.setComponentViewRootNodes(viewRef, rootNodes)`
- all `@View` annotations need to have a template, but the template
may be empty. Previously views that had a `renderer` property did
not have to have a `template`.
- `dynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoNewLocation` does no more allow
to pass an element, but requires a css selector.
Special syntax: `:document` can be used as prefix to search globally
on the document instead of in the provided parent view.
