It is possible for a class defined first to be referencing a class defined later,
and as a result at the time of the definition it is not possible to access the later's
class reference. This allows to refer to the later defined class through
a closure.Closes #1891
BREAKING CHANGE:
`AppViewManager.createInPlaceHostView` is replaced by
`AppViewManager.createRootHostView` (for bootstrap) and
`AppViewManager.createFreeHostView` (for imperative components).
The later creates new host elements that are not attached anywhere.
To attach them, use `DomRenderer.getHostElement(hostviewRef)`
to get the host element.
Closes#1920
Also consolidates metadata handling in `ElementInjector`
BREAKING CHANGE:
- renames `DirectiveMetadataReader` into `DirectiveResolver`
and removes `src/core/compiler/directive_metadata`.
Fixes#1712Fixes#1713
BREAKING CHANGE:
VmTurnZone has been renamed to NgZone.
- The public API has not chnanged,
- The "outer" zone is now named "mount" zone (private to NgZone).
Before this PR there were only 2 zones: root zone = outer zone > inner
zone.
This PR creates the outer zone as a fork of the root zone: root > outer
> inner.
By doing this it is possible to detected microtasks scheduling in the
outer zone and run the change detection less often (no more than one
time per VM turn).
The PR also introduce a Promise monkey patch for the JS implementation.
It makes Promises aware of microtasks and again allow running the change
detection only once per turn.
The async pipe in templates will now delegate to both Observable pipe or Promise pipe,
whichever first says it can support the input. Therefore, it's beneficial to disambiguate
the name of the AsyncPipe/AsyncPipeFactory constructors to reflect that these actually
support only Observables.
