BREAKING CHANGE:
The Http module previously would return RxJS Observables from method calls
of the Http class. In order to support Dart, the module was refactored to
return the EventEmitter abstraction instead, which does not contain the same
combinators or subscription semantics as an RxJS Observable. However, the
EventEmitter provides a toRx() method which will return an RxJS Subject,
providing the same subscription and combinator conveniences as were
available prior to this refactor.
This is temporary, until issue #2794 is resolved, when Observables will
again be returned directly from Http class methods.
The BaseRequestOptions class is responsible for declaring default values,
while the RequestOptions class is merely responsible for setting values
based on values provided in the constructor.
BREAKING CHANGE: HttpFactory is no longer available.
This factory provided a function alternative to the `request` method of the
Http class, but added no real value. The additional factory required an
additional IHttp interface, an odd way to inject while preserving type information
(`@Inject(HttpFactory) http:IHttp`), and required additional documentation in the
http module.
Closes#2564
add test in gulpfile which will compile a basic TS file with generated
angular2.d.ts to ensure generated d.ts is valid syntactic TS
Adds support for enums in .d.ts generation pipeline.
Removes renaming reexports in http module.
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.
This implementation only works in JavaScript, while the Observable transpilation
story gets worked out. Right now, the service just makes a simple request,
and returns an Observable of Response.
Additional functionality will be captured in separate issues.
Fixes#2028
