Previously, benchpress would use `console.time()` and
`console.timeEnd()` to measure the start and end of a test in the
performance log. This used to work over navigations - if you called
`console.time(id)` then navigated to a different page, calling
`console.timeEnd(id)` would still insert an event in the performance
log.
As of Chrome 65, this is no longer the case. `console.timeEnd(id)` will
simply not insert an event in the performance log unless
`console.time(id)` was called on the same page. Likewise, using
`performance.measure()` does not work if the starting mark was on a
different page.
This simple workaround uses `performance.mark()` to insert events in the
performance log at the start and end of the test. Benchpress looks for
'-bpstart' and '-bpend' in the name of the performance mark, and
normalizes that to the start and end events expected by PerflogMetric
PR Close#24114
This change allows ReflectiveInjector to be tree shaken resulting
in not needed Reflect polyfil and smaller bundles.
Code savings for HelloWorld using Closure:
Reflective: bundle.js: 105,864(34,190 gzip)
Static: bundle.js: 154,889(33,555 gzip)
645( 2%)
BREAKING CHANGE:
`platformXXXX()` no longer accepts providers which depend on reflection.
Specifically the method signature when from `Provider[]` to
`StaticProvider[]`.
Example:
Before:
```
[
MyClass,
{provide: ClassA, useClass: SubClassA}
]
```
After:
```
[
{provide: MyClass, deps: [Dep1,...]},
{provide: ClassA, useClass: SubClassA, deps: [Dep1,...]}
]
```
NOTE: This only applies to platform creation and providers for the JIT
compiler. It does not apply to `@Compotent` or `@NgModule` provides
declarations.
Benchpress note: Previously Benchpress also supported reflective
provides, which now require static providers.
DEPRECATION:
- `ReflectiveInjector` is now deprecated as it will be remove. Use
`Injector.create` as a replacement.
