After the introduction of the view engine, we can drop a lot of code that is not used any more.
This should reduce the size of the app bundles because a lot of this code was not being properly tree-shaken by today's tools even though it was dead code.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Exceptions are no longer part of the public API. We don't expect that anyone should be referring to the Exception types.
ExceptionHandler.call(exception: any, stackTrace?: any, reason?: string): void;
change to:
ErrorHandler.handleError(error: any): void;
ngc can now validate metadata before emitting to verify it doesn't
contain an error symbol that will result in a runtime error if
it is used by the StaticReflector.
To enable this add the section,
"angularCompilerOptions": {
"strictMetadataEmit": true
}
to the top level of the tsconfig.json file passed to ngc.
Enabled metadata validation for packages that are intended to be
used statically.
Closes#9751
BREAKING CHANGE:
These forms of providers are no longer accepted:
bind(MyClass).toFactory(...)
new Provider(MyClass, toFactory: ...)
We now only accept:
{provider: MyClass, toFactory: ...}
Remove test setup functions which were deprecated in rc5. See the
changelog for rc5 for how to update. In brief, instead of
`setBaseTestProviders`, use `TestBed.initTestEnvironment`.
BREAKING CHANGES:
- `browserPlatform`/`browserDynamicPlatform`/... have been deprecated and renamed into `platformBrowser`/`platformBrowserDynamic`/....
- `bootstrapModule` and `bootstrapModuleFactory` have been moved to be members of `PlaformRef`.
E.g. `platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(MyModule)`.
