- PlatformState provides an interface to serialize the current Platform State as a string or Document.
- renderModule and renderModuleFactory are convenience methods to wait for Angular Application to stabilize and then render the state to a string.
- refactor code to remove defaultDoc from DomAdapter and inject DOCUMENT where it's needed.
Subclassing errors is problematic since Error returns a
new instance. All of the patching which we do than prevent
proper application of source maps.
PR Close#14160
ReflectiveInjector previously used two strategies for resolving dependencies. These
were to support the Dart implementation, but are no longer needed. A result of this
PR is there is no longer a 20 dependency limit and the generated code is smaller.
PR Close#14126
- Introduce `InjectionToken<T>` which is a parameterized and type-safe
version of `OpaqueToken`.
DEPRECATION:
- `OpaqueToken` is now deprecated, use `InjectionToken<T>` instead.
- `Injector.get(token: any, notFoundValue?: any): any` is now deprecated
use the same method which is now overloaded as
`Injector.get<T>(token: Type<T>|InjectionToken<T>, notFoundValue?: T): T;`.
Migration
- Replace `OpaqueToken` with `InjectionToken<?>` and parameterize it.
- Migrate your code to only use `Type<?>` or `InjectionToken<?>` as
injection tokens. Using other tokens will not be supported in the
future.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Because `injector.get()` is now parameterize it is possible that code
which used to work no longer type checks. Example would be if one
injects `Foo` but configures it as `{provide: Foo, useClass: MockFoo}`.
The injection instance will be that of `MockFoo` but the type will be
`Foo` instead of `any` as in the past. This means that it was possible
to call a method on `MockFoo` in the past which now will fail type
check. See this example:
```
class Foo {}
class MockFoo extends Foo {
setupMock();
}
var PROVIDERS = [
{provide: Foo, useClass: MockFoo}
];
...
function myTest(injector: Injector) {
var foo = injector.get(Foo);
// This line used to work since `foo` used to be `any` before this
// change, it will now be `Foo`, and `Foo` does not have `setUpMock()`.
// The fix is to downcast: `injector.get(Foo) as MockFoo`.
foo.setUpMock();
}
```

Note: This checks the constructors of `@Injectable` classes more strictly.
E.g this will fail now as the constructor argument has no `@Inject` nor is
the type of the argument a DI token.
```
@Injectable()
class MyService {
constructor(dep: string) {}
}
```

## Inheritance Semantics:
Decorators:
1) list the decorators of the class and its parents in the ancestor first order
2) only use the last decorator of each kind (e.g. @Component / ...)
Constructor parameters:
If a class inherits from a parent class and does not declare
a constructor, it inherits the parent class constructor,
and with it the parameter metadata of that parent class.
Lifecycle hooks:
Follow the normal class inheritance model,
i.e. lifecycle hooks of parent classes will be called
even if the method is not overwritten in the child class.
## Example
E.g. the following is a valid use of inheritance and it will
also inherit all metadata:
```
@Directive({selector: 'someDir'})
class ParentDirective {
constructor(someDep: SomeDep) {}
ngOnInit() {}
}
class ChildDirective extends ParentDirective {}
```

BREAKING CHANGE:
- all `…Metadata` classes have been removed. Use the corresponding decorator
as constructor or for `instanceof` checks instead.
- Example:
* Before: `new ComponentMetadata(…)`
* After: `new Component(…)`
- Note: `new Component(…)` worked before as well.
Every decorator now is made of the following:
- a function that can be used
as a decorator or as a constructor. This function
also can be used for `instanceof` checks.
- a type for this function (callable and newable)
- a type that describes the shape of the data
that the user needs to pass to the decorator
as well as the instance of the metadata
The docs for decorators live at the followig places
so that IDEs can discover them correctly:
- General description of the decorator is placed on the
`...Decorator` interface on the callable function
definition
- Property descriptions are placed on the interface
that describes the metadata produces by the decorator
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;
Accessing a property on the window object must be done with square brackets.
Otherwise closure compiler may collide the symbol's alias between the property
and variable mappings.
Also, accessing the 'provide' property must be done with dot syntax, so that
it can be renamed along with the code that declares such a property.
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: ...}
Closes#9729
BREAKING CHANGE:
`Type` is now `Type<T>` which means that in most cases you have to
use `Type<any>` in place of `Type`.
We don't expect that any user applications use the `Type` type.
- ts-api-guardian will now error if a new public symbol is added with a stability marker (`@stable`, `@experimental`, `@deprecated`)
- DomEventsPlugin and KeyEventsPlugin were removed from public api surface - these classes is an implementation detail
- deprecated BROWSER_PROVIDERS was removed completely
- `@angular/compiler` was removed from the ts-api-guardian check since this package shouldn't contain anything that users need to directly import
- the rest of the api surface was conservatively marked as stable or experimental
BREAKING CHANGES: DomEventsPlugin and KeyEventsPlugin previously exported from core are no longer public - these classes are implementation detail.
Previously deprecated BROWSER_PROVIDERS was completely removed from platform-browser.
Closes#9236Closes#9235
Ref #9234
This lets users continue using runtime-sideeffect Decorators if they choose,
only down-leveling the marked ones to Annotations.
Also remove the "skipTemplateCodegen" option, which is no longer needed
since Angular compiles with tsc-wrapped rather than ngc. The former doesn't
include any codegen.
