Currently, core depends on the browser, which means that other platforms (e.g., NativeScript or webworker) cannot use the bootstrapping logic core provides.
This PR extract makes bootstrapping logic in core completely platform-independent. The browser-specific code was moved to "angular2/platforms/browser".
BREAKING CHANGE
A few private helpers (e.g., platformCommon or applicationCommon) were removed or replaced with other helpers. Look at PLATFORM_COMMON_PROVIDERS, APPLICATION_COMMON_PROVIDERS, BROWSER_PROVIDERS, BROWSER_APP_PROVIDERS to see if they export the providers you need.
Closes#5219
After discussing it we decided that PLATFORM_ is a better prefix for directives available everywhere in the app.
BREAKING CHANGE
AMBIENT_DIRECTIVES -> PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES
AMBIENT_PIPES -> PLATFORM_PIPES
Closes#5201
This is part of ongoing work to make core platform-independent.
BREAKING CHANGE
All private exports from 'angular2/src/core/facade/{lang,collection,exception_handler}' should be replaced with 'angular2/src/facade/{lang,collection,exception_handler}'.
BREAKING CHANGE
Previously, the controlsErrors getter of ControlGroup and ControlArray returned the errors of their direct children. This was confusing because the result did not include the errors of nested children (ControlGroup -> ControlGroup -> Control). Making controlsErrors to include such errors would require inventing some custom serialization format, which applications would have to understand.
Since controlsErrors was just a convenience method, and it was causing confusing, we are removing it. If you want to get the errors of the whole form serialized into a single object, you can manually traverse the form and accumulate the errors. This way you have more control over how the errors are serialized.
Closes#5102
BREAKING CHANGE
All private exports from 'angular2/src/core/{directives,pipes,forms}' should be replaced with 'angular2/src/common/{directives,pipes,formis}'
Closes#5153
If the anchor element on which the "router-link" directive is present has a target
attribute other than "_self," the handler will not prevent default behavior of
the browser.
Closes#4233Closes#5082
Ambient directives can be configured when bootstraping an application.
Ambient directives can be used in every component of the application without
needing to explicitly list them.
