Free embedded views are view instances that are created
logically in the same was as views of a ViewContainer,
but their dom nodes are not attached.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Renderer.detachFreeHostView` was renamed to
`Renderer.detachFreeView`
- `DomRenderer.getHostElement()` was generalized into
`DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
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`.
