This PR was merged without API docs and general rollout plan.
We can't release this as is in 5.1 without a plan for documentation, cli integration, etc.
Fixes#14638
Uses Domino - https://github.com/fgnass/domino and removes dependency on
Parse5.
The DOCUMENT and nativeElement were never typed earlier and were
different on the browser(DOM nodes) and the server(Parse5 nodes). With
this change, platform-server also exposes a DOCUMENT and nativeElement
that is closer to the client. If you were relying on nativeElement on
the server, you would have to change your code to use the DOM API now
instead of Parse5 AST API.
Removes the need to add services for each and every Document
manipulation like Title/Meta etc.
This does *not* provide a global variable 'document' or 'window' on the
server. You still have to inject DOCUMENT to get the document backing
the current platform server instance.
HttpClient is an evolution of the existing Angular HTTP API, which exists
alongside of it in a separate package, @angular/common/http. This structure
ensures that existing codebases can slowly migrate to the new API.
The new API improves significantly on the ergonomics and features of the legacy
API. A partial list of new features includes:
* Typed, synchronous response body access, including support for JSON body types
* JSON is an assumed default and no longer needs to be explicitly parsed
* Interceptors allow middleware logic to be inserted into the pipeline
* Immutable request/response objects
* Progress events for both request upload and response download
* Post-request verification & flush based testing framework
This can be used to e.g. add the NoopAnimationsModule by default:
```
TestBed.initTestEnvironment([
BrowserDynamicTestingModule,
NoopAnimationsModule
], platformBrowserDynamicTesting());
```
This change installs HttpModule with ServerModule, and overrides bindings to
service Http requests made from the server with the 'xhr2' NPM package.
Outgoing requests are wrapped in a Zone macro-task, so they will be tracked
within the Angular zone and cause the isStable API to show 'false' until they
return. This is essential for Universal support of server-side HTTP.
BREAKING CHANGE: web worker platform is now exported via separate packages.
Please use @angular/platform-webworker and @angular/platform-webworker-dynamic
