These wrappers are not natively understood by
ts2dart. Removing them will improve Dart2JS
compilation due to fewer megamorphic calls to List
functions.
It also makes Angular code more succinct and
improves type safety in Angular due to better type
inference of the Array component type.
This change exposed several bugs in Angular.
Closes#2472Closes#2339
BREAKING CHANGE
- `Compiler.compile` has been removed, the only way to compile
components dynamically is via `Compiler.compileInHost`
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoExistingLocation` has changed:
* renamed into `loadIntoLocation`
* will always create the host element as well
* requires an element with a variable inside of the host component view
next to which it will load new component.
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToExistingLocation` was renamed into
`DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation`
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoNewLocation` is removed
* use `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation` instead
and then move the view nodes
manually around via `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
- `AppViewManager.{create,destroy}Free{Host,Embedded}View` was removed
* use `AppViewManager.createViewInContainer` and then move the view nodes
manually around via `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
- `Renderer.detachFreeView` was removed. Use `DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
to get the root nodes of a view and detach them manually.
System.js seems detect an empty file as global and choke on exporting
symbols from angular2/angular2 (possibly a bug in system.js).
As temporary measure we make sure that the file has some (fake) runtime
code left.
Closes: #2343
Replaces the multiple arrays of `DomView`
by a single array with `DomElement`s.
Note: this commit does not show a performance regression
(tested against the tree benchmark locally).
clang-format 1.0.17 substantially improves formatting for fat arrow functions
and array literal detection. It also fixes a number of minor formatting issues.
Free embedded views are view instances that are created
logically in the same was as views of a ViewContainer,
but their dom nodes are not attached.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Renderer.detachFreeHostView` was renamed to
`Renderer.detachFreeView`
- `DomRenderer.getHostElement()` was generalized into
`DomRenderer.getRootNodes()`
