This changes Angular so that it can be used without reflection (assuming a codegen for injectors).
BREAKIKNG CHANGE:
- Drops `APP_COMPONENT` provider. Instead, inject
`ApplicationRef` and read its `componentTypes` property.
- long form bootstrap has changed into the following:
```
var platform = createPlatform(ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate(BROWSER_PROVIDERS));
var appInjector =
ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate([BROWSER_APP_PROVIDERS, appProviders], platform.injector);
coreLoadAndBootstrap(appInjector, MyApp);
```
Each compile template now exposes a `<CompName>NgFactory` variable
with an instance of a `ComponentFactory`.
Calling `ComponentFactory.create` returns a `ComponentRef` that can
be used directly.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Compiler` is renamed to `ComponentResolver`,
`Compiler.compileInHost` has been renamed to `ComponentResolver.resolveComponent`.
- `ComponentRef.dispose` is renamed to `ComponentRef.destroy`
- `ViewContainerRef.createHostView` is renamed to `ViewContainerRef.createComponent`
- `ComponentFixture_` has been removed, the class `ComponentFixture`
can now be created directly as it is no more using private APIs.
closes https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/4943
BREAKING CHANGE:
`Location` and other related providers have been moved out of `router` and into `platform/common`. `BrowserPlatformLocation` is not meant to be used directly however advanced configurations may use it via the following import change.
Before:
```
import {
PlatformLocation,
Location,
LocationStrategy,
HashLocationStrategy,
PathLocationStrategy,
APP_BASE_HREF}
from 'angular2/router';
import {BrowserPlatformLocation} from 'angular2/src/router/location/browser_platform_location';
```
After:
```
import {
PlatformLocation,
Location,
LocationStrategy,
HashLocationStrategy,
PathLocationStrategy,
APP_BASE_HREF}
from 'angular2/platform/common';
import {BrowserPlatformLocation} from 'angular2/src/platform/browser/location/browser_platform_location';
```
Closes#7962
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Renderer:
* renderComponent method is removed form `Renderer`, only present on `RootRenderer`
* Renderer.setDebugInfo is removed. Renderer.createElement / createText / createTemplateAnchor
now take the DebugInfo directly.
- Query semantics:
* Queries don't work with dynamically loaded components.
* e.g. for router-outlet: loaded components can't be queries via @ViewQuery,
but router-outlet emits an event `activate` now that emits the activated component
- Exception classes and the context inside changed (renamed fields)
- DebugElement.attributes is an Object and not a Map in JS any more
- ChangeDetectorGenConfig was renamed into CompilerConfig
- AppViewManager.createEmbeddedViewInContainer / AppViewManager.createHostViewInContainer
are removed, use the methods in ViewContainerRef instead
- Change detection order changed:
* 1. dirty check component inputs
* 2. dirty check content children
* 3. update render nodes

Useful for avoiding doing an actual XHR during testing.
Part of the solution for #4051 (Other part is a Karma plugin that will create the template cache).
Closes#7940
@petebacondarwin deserves credit for most of this commit.
This allows you to specify a regex and serializer function instead
of the path DSL in your route declaration.
```
@RouteConfig([
{ regex: '[a-z]+.[0-9]+',
serializer: (params) => `{params.a}.params.b}`,
component: MyComponent }
])
class Component {}
```
Closes#7325Closes#7126
Now, using `ng.probe(element)` in the browser console returns
a DebugElement when in dev mode.
`ComponentFixture#debugElement` also returns a new DebugElement.
Breaking Change:
This is a breaking change for unit tests. The API for the DebugElement
has changed. Now, there is a DebugElement or DebugNode for every node
in the DOM, not only nodes with an ElementRef. `componentViewChildren` is
removed, and `childNodes` is a list of ElementNodes corresponding to every
child in the DOM. `query` no longer takes a scope parameter, since
the entire rendered DOM is included in the `childNodes`.
Before:
```
componentFixture.debugElement.componentViewChildren[0];
```
After
```
// Depending on the DOM structure of your component, the
// index may have changed or the first component child
// may be a sub-child.
componentFixture.debugElement.children[0];
```
Before:
```
debugElement.query(By.css('div'), Scope.all());
```
After:
```
debugElement.query(By.css('div'));
```
Before:
```
componentFixture.debugElement.elementRef;
```
After:
```
componentFixture.elementRef;
```
This is needed to prevent memory leaks. The DOM
listeners don’t need to be removed for simple examples,
but a big internal app shows memory leaks because of them.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Renderer.listen` now has to return a function that
removes the event listener.
Resolve all invalid field override errors, workaround current
reflection limitations in Dart Dev Compiler. todo, hello_world and
key_events samples now work with Dart Dev Compiler.
BREAKING CHANGE: remove TemplateRef.elementRef setter
Closes#6441
BREAKING CHANGE
WORKER_RENDER_APP is now deprecated. Use WORKER_RENDER_APPLICATION instead
WORKER_RENDER_APP_COMMON has been replaced by WORKER_RENDER_APPLICATION_COMMON
closes#6184Closes#6378
With providers split into bundles, the test injector is now able to
use providers for a given bundle. Suggested provider lists for tests are
available in `angular2/platform/testing/<platform>`.
Change the providers for a test suite using `setBaseTestProviders`. This
should be done once at the start of the test suite, before any test cases
run.
BREAKING CHANGE: Tests are now required to use `setBaseTestProviders`
to set up. Assuming your tests are run on a browser, setup would change
as follows.
Before:
```js
// Somewhere in test setup
import {BrowserDomAdapter} from 'angular2/src/platform/browser/browser_adapter';
BrowserDomAdapter.makeCurrent
```
After:
```js
// Somewhere in the test setup
import {setBaseTestProviders} from 'angular2/testing';
import {
TEST_BROWSER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_BROWSER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS
} from 'angular2/platform/testing/browser';
setBaseTestProviders(TEST_BROWSER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_BROWSER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS);
```
Closes#5351, Closes#5585Closes#5975
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Platform pipes can only contain types and arrays of types,
but no bindings any more.
- When using transformers, platform pipes need to be specified explicitly
in the pubspec.yaml via the new config option
`platform_pipes`.
- `Compiler.compileInHost` now returns a `HostViewFactoryRef`
- Component view is not yet created when component constructor is called.
-> use `onInit` lifecycle callback to access the view of a component
- `ViewRef#setLocal` has been moved to new type `EmbeddedViewRef`
- `internalView` is gone, use `EmbeddedViewRef.rootNodes` to access
the root nodes of an embedded view
- `renderer.setElementProperty`, `..setElementStyle`, `..setElementAttribute` now
take a native element instead of an ElementRef
- `Renderer` interface now operates on plain native nodes,
instead of `RenderElementRef`s or `RenderViewRef`s
Closes#5993
BREAKING CHANGE
From the app thread, in both TypeScript and Dart, you bootstrap the app
using `application` instead of `asyncApplication`.
Before:
```TypeScript
platform([WORKER_APP_PLATFORM])
.asyncApplication(setupWebWorker, optionalProviders?)
.then((ref) => ref.bootstrap(RootComponent));
```
Now:
```TypeScript
platform([WORKER_APP_PLATFORM])
.application([WORKER_APP_APPLICATION])
.bootstrap(RootComponent);
```
closes#5857Closes#5862
Since AppRootUrl is removed, the logic for extending and emitting
the root url as part of the setup seems unnecessary.
BREAKING CHANGES:
The setupWebWorker function exported from
angular2/platform/worker_app no longer returns a promise of providers,
but instead synchronously returns providers.

In the browser, calling element.textContent causes child comment
nodes to be ignored, while getting textContent directly on a
comment node will return the comment. This change makes
parse5Adapter consistent with this behavior by adding a 2nd
argument to getText telling if it's being called recursively.
Closes#5805
This is used for setting property binding values as attributes
on elements when running in dev mode. This implementation will
also serialize binding information to template placeholder
comment nodes.
Closes#5227
Have DomElementSchemaRegistry support namespaced elements,
so that it does not fail when directives are applied in SVG (or xlink).
Without this fix, directives or property bindings cannot be
used in SVG.
