Secondary entry points (testing, static, etc) are rolled up into a
single ESM/ES2015 file, then downleveled to ESM/ES2015. This downleveling
was not working and was producing ESM/ES2015. Also, the @angular/core
package's .babelrc file was missing reference to Rx Observable which
broke the UMD bundle.
Fixes#14730
After the introduction of the view engine, we can drop a lot of code that is not used any more.
This should reduce the size of the app bundles because a lot of this code was not being properly tree-shaken by today's tools even though it was dead code.
E.g. for no view encapsulation, the delegate will always be the same.
Nevertheless, we still need to create a new `AnimationRenderer` per
component.
Attention: This change will conflict with a local mod in G3.
- Don’t use the animation renderer if a component
used style encapsulation but no animations.
- The `AnimationRenderer` should be cached in the same
lifecycle as its delegate.
- Trigger names need to be namespaced per component type.
This change allows the example writer to add doc-region annotations to
files that do not allow comments. This is done by creating a clone of the
file and adding `.annotated` to the file name. This new file can contain
inline `// ...` comments that can be used to annotate the doc regions.
Example:
**package.json**
```
{
"name": "angular.io",
"version": "0.0.0",
"main": "index.js",
"repository": "git@github.com:angular/angular.git",
"author": "Angular",
"license": "MIT",
"private": true,
}
````
**package.json.annotated**
```
{
"name": "angular.io",
// #docregion version
"version": "0.0.0",
// #enddocregion
"main": "index.js",
"repository": "git@github.com:angular/angular.git",
"author": "Angular",
"license": "MIT",
"private": true,
}
````
This region can then be referenced in examples just like any other doc region:
```
{@example 'package.json' region="version"}
```
When the `enableLegacyTemplate` is set to `false`, `<template>` tags and the
`template` attribute are no more used to define angular templates but are
treated as regular tag and attribute.
The default value is `true`.
In order to define a template, you have to use the `<ng-template>` tag.
This option applies to your application and all the libraries it uses. That is
you should make sure none of them rely on the legacy way to defined templates
when this option is turned off (`false`).
The rationale of this change is to improve the inter-operability with web
components that might make use of the `<template>` tag.
DEPRECATION
The template tags and template attribute are deprecated:
<template ngFor [ngFor]=items let-item><li>...</li></template>
<li template="ngFor: let item of items">...</li>
should be rewritten as:
<ng-template ngFor [ngFor]=items let-item><li>...</li></ng-template>
Note that they still be supported in 4.x with a deprecartion warning in
development mode.
MIGRATION
- `template` tags (or elements with a `template` attribute) should be rewritten
as a `ng-template` tag,
- `ng-content` selectors should be updated to referto a `ng-template` where they
use to refer to a template: `<ng-content selector="template[attr]">` should be
rewritten as `<ng-content selector="ng-template[attr]">`
- if you consume a component relying on your templates being actual `template`
elements (that is they include a `<ng-content selector="template[attr]">`). You
should still migrate to `ng-template` and make use of `ngProjectAs` to override
the way `ng-content` sees the template:
`<ng-template projectAs="template[attr]">`
- while `template` elements are deprecated in 4.x they continue to work.
BREAKING CHANGE: Because all lifecycle hooks are now interfaces
the code that uses 'extends' keyword will no longer compile.
To migrate the code follow the example below:
Before:
```
@Component()
class SomeComponent extends OnInit {}
```
After:
```
@Component()
class SomeComponent implements OnInit {}
```
we don't expect anyone to be affected by this change.

Use `RendererV2` instead of `Renderer` now. `Renderer` can still be injected
and delegates to `RendererV2`.
Use `RendererFactoryV2` instead of `RootRenderer`. `RootRenderer` cannot be used

BREAKING CHANGE:

Note: `Renderer` can still be injected/used, but is deprecated.
Change required in previous commit ab96257bc that upgrades the CLI version.
env.sh: protractor v.5 requires a later version of chromium. Upping to 433059/Chrome 56.
Currently styles are rendered to the root component element, which ensures they're cleaned up automatically
when the client application is bootstrapped. This is less than ideal as progressive rendering can cause HTML
to be rendered before the CSS is loaded, causing flicker.
This change returns to rendering <style> elements in the <head>, and introduces a mechanism for removing
them on client bootstrap. This relies on associating the server and client bootstrap. Another way to think
of this is that the client, when bootstrapping an app, needs to know whether to expect a server rendered
application exists on the page, and to identify the <style> elements that are part of that app in order
to remove them.
This is accomplished by providing a string TRANSITION_ID on both server and client. For most applications,
this will be achieved by writing a client app module that imports BrowserModule.withServerTransition({appId: <id>}).
The server app module will import this client app module and therefore inherit the provider for
TRANSITION_ID. renderModule[Factory] on the server will validate that a TRANSITION_ID has been provided.
TypeScript compiler will now build to ES2015 code and modules. Babili is used to minify ES2015
code, providing an initial optimization that we couldn't previously get just from Uglify. Uses
Babel to convert ES2015 to UMD/ES5 code, and Uglify to minimize the output.
Some versions of TypeScript are super slow to compile functions that
contain a lot of `if` conditions in them. Splitting the handle event
expressions per element is similar to what we did in the old codegen.
Allow to style components that don’t use shadow dom inside of components that do.
This reverts 53cf2ec573
and adds a test for this case.

Note that this does not yet include enabling the view engine
by default.
Included refactoring:
- view engine: split namespace of elements / attributes already
when creating the `NodeDef`
- view engine: when injecting the old `Renderer`, use an implementation
that is based on `RendererV2`
- view engine: store view queries in the component view, not
on the host element
Included refactoring:
- splits the `RendererV2` into a `RendererFactoryV2` and a `RendererV2`
- makes the `DebugRendererV2` a private class in `@angular/core`
- remove `setBindingDebugInfo` from `RendererV2`, but rename `RendererV2.setText` to
`RendererV2.setValue` and allow it on comments and text nodes.
Part of #14013
This change installs HttpModule with ServerModule, and overrides bindings to
service Http requests made from the server with the 'xhr2' NPM package.
Outgoing requests are wrapped in a Zone macro-task, so they will be tracked
within the Angular zone and cause the isStable API to show 'false' until they
return. This is essential for Universal support of server-side HTTP.
This ensures when the tree is serialized to the client and the app is later bootstrapped,
the <style> tags created during server-side rendering are destroyed.
Aspects: di, query, content projection
Included refactoring:
- use a number as query id
- use a bloom filter for aggregating matched queries of nested elements
- separate static vs dynamic queries

In #14388 the following syntax is used in the source:
```
import * as view_utils from './linker/view_utils';
import * as viewEngine from './view/index';
…
export {view_utils as ɵview_utils};
export {viewEngine as ɵviewEngine};

The usage of `export {... as ...}` was not being recognised by dgeni.
It is now being recognised and a temporary dummy output file is being
rendered. Later we will either ignore this doctype altogether or find
a better way of rendering it.

I messed up and accidentaly led the team to believe that the feature freeze was on Feb 15.

This commit updates the doc-gen to account
for the changes to the codebase for decorators.
There are actually three kinds of calls that create decorators:
* makeDecorator
* makePropDecorator
* makeParamDecorator
Also, the actual documentation for each
decorator is split between two exported symbols:
* `interface [DecoratorName]` contains the metadata fields
* interface [DecoratorName]Decorator` contains a
"call member" which holds the general description of the decorator.
This processor now identifies all three decorator types, and pulls the
description of the callMember onto the main decorator doc description.
(There are some outstanding interfaces in the angular/angular project that
need to be re-exported from `/angular/modules/@angular/core/src/metadata.ts`
to ensure that the doc-gen is able to access them.)

1. Use `jasmine` as framework instead of `jasmine2`.
(Since angular/protractor@2bde92b, `jasmine2` is an alias for `jasmine`.)
2. Simplify the `chromeOptions` config by always setting.
(If `process.env.CHROME_BIN` is not defined, `binary` will be ignored.)
Much of the formatting was hardcoded and copied from the old anguar.io
jade files. This gives us a clean start.
Also, more use has been made of include files to make the templates
easier to understand and manage.
Note, this affects the underlying class and should not affect usage.
DEPRECATION:
- the `NgFor` class is now deprecated. Use `NgForOf<T>` instead.
IMPORTANT: Only the `NgFor` class is deprecated, not the `ngFor`
directive. The `*ngFor` and related directives are unaffected by
this change as references to the `NgFor` class generated from
templates will be automatically converted to references to
`NgForOf<T>` without requiring any template modifications.
- `TrackByFn` is now deprecated. Use `TrackByFunction<T>` instead.
Migration:
- Replace direct references to the `NgFor` class to `NgForOf<any>`.
- Replace references to `TrackByFn` to `TrackByFunction<any>`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
A definition of `Iterable<T>` is now required to correctly compile
Angular applications. Support for `Iterable<T>` is not required at
runtime but a type definition `Iterable<T>` must be available.
`NgFor`, and now `NgForOf<T>`, already supports `Iterable<T>` at
runtime. With this change the type definition is updated to reflect
this support.
Migration:
- add "es2015.iterable.ts" to your tsconfig.json "libs" fields.

Correctly wire up hierarchical injectors for downgraded components in
`upgrade/static`: Downgraded components inherit the injector of the first
downgraded component up the DOM tree.
This is similar to (part of) d91a86a, but for `upgrade/static`.
POSSIBLE BREAKING CHANGE:
In order to enable more control over the wiring of downgraded components and
their content (which eventually allows better control over features like
injector setup and content projection), it was necessary to change the
implementation of the directives generated for downgraed components.
The directives are now terminal and manually take care of projecting and
compiling their contents in the post-linking function. This is similar to how
the dynamic version of `upgrade` does it.
This is not expected to affect apps, since the relative order of individual
operations is preserved. Still, it is difficult to predict how every possible
usecase may be affected.
This affects the dynamic version of `upgrade` and makes it more consistent with
the static version, while removing an artificial limitation.
This commit also refactors the file layout and code, in order to share code wrt
to dowgrading components between the dynamic and static versions.
This makes it more consistent with the dynamic version of `upgrade` and makes it
possible to share code between the dynamic and static versions.
This commit also refactors the file layout, moving common and dynamic-specific
files to `common/` and `dynamic/` directories respectively and renaming `aot/`
to `static/`.
Some private keys, used as AngularJS DI tokens, have also been renamed, but this
should not affect apps, since these keys are undocumented and not supposed to
be used externally.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously, `upgrade/static/downgradeInjectable` returned an array of the form:
```js
['dep1', 'dep2', ..., function factory(dep1, dep2, ...) { ... }]
```
Now it returns a function with an `$inject` property:
```js
factory.$inject = ['dep1', 'dep2', ...];
function factory(dep1, dep2, ...) { ... }
```
It shouldn't affect the behavior of apps, since both forms are equally suitable
to be used for registering AngularJS injectable services, but it is possible
that type-checking might fail or that current code breaks if it relies on the
returned value being an array.

There are restrictions on the character set that can be used for xmb and xtb
placeholder names.
However because changing the placeholder names would change the message IDs it
is not possible to add those restrictions to the names used internally. Then we
have to map internal name to public names when generating an xmb file and back
when translating using an xtb file.
Note for implementors of `Serializer`:
- When writing a file, the implementor should take care of converting the
internal names to public names while visiting the message nodes - this is
required because the original nodes are needed to compute the message ID.
- When reading a file, the implementor does not need to take care of the mapping
back to internal names as this is handled in the `I18nToHtmlVisitor` used by the
`TranslationBundle`.

- Introduce `InjectionToken<T>` which is a parameterized and type-safe
version of `OpaqueToken`.
DEPRECATION:
- `OpaqueToken` is now deprecated, use `InjectionToken<T>` instead.
- `Injector.get(token: any, notFoundValue?: any): any` is now deprecated
use the same method which is now overloaded as
`Injector.get<T>(token: Type<T>|InjectionToken<T>, notFoundValue?: T): T;`.
Migration
- Replace `OpaqueToken` with `InjectionToken<?>` and parameterize it.
- Migrate your code to only use `Type<?>` or `InjectionToken<?>` as
injection tokens. Using other tokens will not be supported in the
future.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Because `injector.get()` is now parameterize it is possible that code
which used to work no longer type checks. Example would be if one
injects `Foo` but configures it as `{provide: Foo, useClass: MockFoo}`.
The injection instance will be that of `MockFoo` but the type will be
`Foo` instead of `any` as in the past. This means that it was possible
to call a method on `MockFoo` in the past which now will fail type
check. See this example:
```
class Foo {}
class MockFoo extends Foo {
setupMock();
}
var PROVIDERS = [
{provide: Foo, useClass: MockFoo}
];
...
function myTest(injector: Injector) {
var foo = injector.get(Foo);
// This line used to work since `foo` used to be `any` before this
// change, it will now be `Foo`, and `Foo` does not have `setUpMock()`.
// The fix is to downcast: `injector.get(Foo) as MockFoo`.

With the exception of `$onChanges()`, all lifecycle hooks in ng1 are called on
the controller, regardless if it is the binding destination or not (i.e.
regardless of the value of `bindToController`).
This change makes `upgrade` mimic that behavior when calling lifecycle hooks.
Additionally, calling the `$onInit()` hook has been moved before calling the
linking functions, which also mimics the ng1 behavior.
Note: This checks the constructors of `@Injectable` classes more strictly.
E.g this will fail now as the constructor argument has no `@Inject` nor is
the type of the argument a DI token.
```
@Injectable()
class MyService {
constructor(dep: string) {}
}
```

Fix an issue in `registerForNg1Tests`, where it passes a `null` as
`ng1Injector` to `_bootstrapDone`. This causes a "TypeError: Cannot
read property 'get' of null" to be thrown from `_bootstrapDone`.
This change retracts support for metadata version 2.
The collector used to produce version 2 metadata was incomplete
and can cause the AOT compiler to fail to resolve symbols or
produce other spurious errors.
All libraries compiled and published with 2.3.0 ngc will need
to be recompiled and updated with this change.
- New method `UpgradeAdapter.registerForNg1Tests(modules)` declares the
Angular 1 upgrade module and provides it to the `angular.mock.module()`
helper.
This prevents the need to bootstrap the entire hybrid for every test.
Closes#5462, #12675
- Full support for content projection in downgraded Angular 2
components. In particular, this enables multi-slot projection and
other features on <ng-content>.
- Correctly wire up hierarchical injectors for downgraded Angular 2
components: downgraded components inherit the injector of the first
other downgraded Angular 2 component they find up the DOM tree.

feat(tsc-wrapped): recored when to quote a object literal key
Collecting quoted literals is off by default as it introduces
a breaking change in the .metadata.json file. A follow-up commit
will address this.
Fixes#13249Closes#13356
If you bound an array to select[multiple] via ngModel and subsequently
changed the options to select from, the UI would drop any selections
made since by the user. This was due to
SelectMultipleControlValueAccessor not keeping a reference to the new
model arrays it generated when users interacted with the select control.
Update code to keep the reference.
Closes#12527Closes#12654
When an invalid model value (eg empty string) was preset ngModel on
select[multiple] would throw an error, which is inconsistent with how it
works on other user input elements. Setting the model value to null or
undefined would also have no effect on what was already selected in the
UI. Fix this by clearing selected options when model set to null,
undefined or a type other than Array.
Closes#11926
The existing intl.ts file is not a facade but
rather a set of utils used by i18n-related pipes only.
As such moving it back to common module so those utils
are not used accidently from other places.
NgIf syntax has been extended to support else clause to display template
when the condition is false. In addition the condition value can now
be stored in local variable, for later reuse. This is especially useful
when used with the `async` pipe.
Example:
```
<div *ngIf="userObservable | async; else loading; let user">
Hello {{user.last}}, {{user.first}}!
</div>
<template #loading>Waiting...</template>
```

When compiling libraries, this feature extracts the minimal information
from the directives/pipes/modules of the library into `.ngsummary.json` files,
so that applications that use this library only need to be recompiled
if one of the summary files change, but not on every change
of the libraries (e.g. one of the templates).
Only works if individual codegen for libraries is enabled,
see the `generateCodeForLibraries: false` option.
Closes#12787
Removes `CompileIdentifierMetadata.name` / `.moduleUrl`,
as well as `CompileTypeMetadata.name / moduleUrl` and
`CompileFactoryMetadata.name / moduleUrl`.
## Inheritance Semantics:
Decorators:
1) list the decorators of the class and its parents in the ancestor first order
2) only use the last decorator of each kind (e.g. @Component / ...)
Constructor parameters:
If a class inherits from a parent class and does not declare
a constructor, it inherits the parent class constructor,
and with it the parameter metadata of that parent class.
Lifecycle hooks:
Follow the normal class inheritance model,
i.e. lifecycle hooks of parent classes will be called
even if the method is not overwritten in the child class.
## Example
E.g. the following is a valid use of inheritance and it will
also inherit all metadata:
```
@Directive({selector: 'someDir'})
class ParentDirective {
constructor(someDep: SomeDep) {}
ngOnInit() {}
}
class ChildDirective extends ParentDirective {}
```
Closes#11606Closes#12892
The change looks bigger than it really is because I reordered the properties to match other tsconfigs we have.
The only real change is removal of sourceRoot property.
Fixes#13040
* With non-static ngUpgrade apps, callbacks to `whenStable` were being invoked with the wrong
context
* With non-static ngUpgrade apps, `resumeBootstrap` was being run outside the NgZone
* Remove redundent `whenStableContext` variable
Neither of the first two problems were actually causing bugs (as far as I know), but they *might*
have caused problems in the future.
Inspired by https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/12910, but for non-static apps.
- `NgHost` to `CompilerHost`
- `AotCompilerHost.resolveFileToImport` to `AotCompilerHost.fileNameToModuleName`
- `AotCompilerHoset.resolveImportToFile` to `AotCompilerHost.moduleNameToFileName`
This is needed to resolve symbols without `.d.ts` files.
This bumps the version of the metadata from 1 to 2.
This adds logic into `ng_host.ts` to automatically upgrade
version 1 to version 2 metadata by adding the exported symbols
from the `.d.ts` file.
Prior to this commit, translations were built in the serializers. This
could not work as a single translation can be used for different source
messages having different placeholder content.
Serializers do not try to replace the placeholders any more.
Placeholders are replaced by the translation bundle and the source
message is given as parameter so that the content of the placeholders is
taken into account.
Also XMB ids are now independent of the expression which is replaced by
a placeholder in the extracted file.
fixes#12512
This improves ergonomics a bit by allowing people to write:
`<label [for]="ctxProp"></label>`.
This is similar to the existing class -> className mapping.

This patch ensures that animations are run outside of change detection
thus allowing for start and done callbacks to modify application data
without causing a cycle loop.
Closes#12713
Add support for the `$postDigest()` and `$onDestroy()` lifecycle hooks.
Better align the behavior of the `$onChanges()` and `$onInit()` lifecycle hooks
with Angular 1.x:
- Call `$onInit()` before pre-linking.
- Always instantiate the controller before calling `$onChanges()`.
Previously, if a `TemplateRef` was created in a `ViewContainerRef`
at a different place, the content was not query able at all.
With this change, the content of the template can be queried
as if it was stamped out at the declaration place of the template.
E.g. in the following example, the `QueryList<ChildCmp>` will
be filled once the button is clicked.
```
@Component({
selector: ‘my-comp’,
template: ‘<button #vc (click)=“createView()”></button>’
})
class MyComp {
@ContentChildren(ChildCmp)
children: QueryList<ChildCmp>;
@ContentChildren(TemplateRef)
template: TemplateRef;
@ViewChild(‘vc’, {read: ViewContainerRef})
vc: ViewContainerRef;
createView() {
this.vc.createEmbeddedView(this.template);
}
}
@Component({
template: `
<my-comp>
<template><child-cmp></child-cmp></template>
</my-comp>
`
})
class App {}
```

But use the DOM apis directly.
This also creates a separate `ServerRenderer` implementation
for `platform-server` as it previously reused the `BrowserRenderer`.
This fixes a performance regressions introduced by 178fb79b5c.
Also makes properties in the directive wrapper private
so that closure compiler can minify them better.
Bash scripts create and tear down symlinks on Windows. These use the
packages.txt file as input to identify the symlink locations. The
scripts ignored the last line in packages.txt if it didn't end with a
newline. Also, one location was missing. Resolve both issues.

BREAKING CHANGE:
Four newly added APIs in 2.2.0-beta:
downgradeComponent, downgradeInjectable, UpgradeComponent, and UpgradeModule
are no longer exported by @angular/upgrade.
Import these from @angular/upgrade/static instead.
The first code example for the reset function was invalid as it has a semi-colon instead of a colon for the last property in the json object. Change the semi-colon to a colon.
Closes https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/12531
I put an extractor into your extract so you can extract while you

- also groups eval sources by NgModule.
Part of #11683
This commit introduces a new API to the ngUpgrade module, which is compatible
with AoT compilation. Primarily, it removes the dependency on reflection
over the Angular 2 metadata by introducing an API where this information
is explicitly defined, in the source code, in a way that is not lost through
AoT compilation.
This commit is a collaboration between @mhevery (who provided the original
design of the API); @gkalpak & @petebacondarwin (who implemented the
API and migrated the specs from the original ngUpgrade tests) and @alexeagle
(who provided input and review).
This commit is an starting point, there is still work to be done:
* add more documentation
* validate the API via internal projects
* align the ngUpgrade compilation of A1 directives closer to the real A1
compiler
* add more unit tests
* consider support for async `templateUrl` A1 upgraded components
Closes#12239
`normalizeMethodName` reflectively accessed the RequestMethod enum. With a smart
optimizer, properties from the enum could be removed or renamed, and so user
code just passing in e.g. 'PATCH' might not work. This change fixes the code to
be more explicit and avoids the optimizer issue.
Either bind an expression or use the attribute notation.
The mixed way `[routerLink]="/path"` won't work.
Prefer the attribute notation for string-only paths
* feat(forms): ngSubmit event exposes $event from original submit event as local variable

This resolves#10920.
* refactor: code cleanup
* docs(changelog): fix mentions and backticks
`@page` and `@document` were both incorrectly linking to GitHub repositories.
`:enter` and `:leave` in the *Features* section were missing backticks.

* docs(NgModule): Corrected the wording of the documentation of `entryComponents`, fixed some minor grammar issues
* docs(NgModule): Remove redundant ComponentFactory mentions

Modify routerLinkActive to optimise performance by removing unnecessary iteration. By replacing Array.reduce with Array.some, the loop will break when it finds an active link. Useful if used on the parent of a large group of routerLinks. Furthermore, if a RouterLink is active it will not check the RouterLinkWithHrefs.
The `addProvider` function in the `UpgradeAdapter` was deprecated in this [commit](d21331e902 (diff-77163e956a7842149f583846c1c01651)) and has been removed in final. Given this, the documentation for downgrading ng2 providers for use in ng1 is invalid.

Instead of using a variable for the link of browserstack it was using the direct https link.
That caused to show the text and the link (incorrect markdown).
Moved the https link to the bottom with the other link assignments. It will now only show the blue text with the link to the browserstack.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- all `…Metadata` classes have been removed. Use the corresponding decorator
as constructor or for `instanceof` checks instead.
- Example:
* Before: `new ComponentMetadata(…)`
* After: `new Component(…)`
- Note: `new Component(…)` worked before as well.
Every decorator now is made of the following:
- a function that can be used
as a decorator or as a constructor. This function
also can be used for `instanceof` checks.
- a type for this function (callable and newable)
- a type that describes the shape of the data
that the user needs to pass to the decorator
as well as the instance of the metadata
The docs for decorators live at the followig places
so that IDEs can discover them correctly:
- General description of the decorator is placed on the
`...Decorator` interface on the callable function
definition
- Property descriptions are placed on the interface
that describes the metadata produces by the decorator
* chore: update protractor and selenium-webdriver packages
As `karma-jasmine` has a peer dependency on `jasmine-core@2.3`, but `jasmine` and `protractor` are using `jasmine-core@2.4` we need to add `jasmine-core@2.3` explicitly. Previously, the peer dependency was
satisfied by accident because npm deduped the dependency
for `jasmine-core@2.3` as top level dependency.
Note that the shrink-wrap files changes quite a bit because
of the deduping mechanism of npm.

When lazily loading code, users need to be able to get hold of the
NgModuleFactory. For SystemJS environments, the SystemJS registry serves
this purpose. However other environments, such as modules compiled with
Closure compiler, do not expose exports object or a path based registry.
For these environments, `@NgModule` objects can include an identifier, and
the loading code can then pass `loadModule(id).then(() =>
getNgModule(id))` to the router.

Before the change:
// original CSS
:host .foo .bar {...}
.foo .bar {...}
// translated to
[_nghost-shh-2] .foo .bar {...}
.foo[_ngcontent-shh-2] .bar[_ngcontent-shh-2] {...}
Note that `.foo` and `.bar` where not scoped and would then apply to nested components.
With this change those selectors are scoped (as they are without `:host`).
You can explicitly apply the style to inner component by using `>>>` or `/deep/`: `:host >>> .foo`
BREAKING CHANGE:
Exceptions are no longer part of the public API. We don't expect that anyone should be referring to the Exception types.
ExceptionHandler.call(exception: any, stackTrace?: any, reason?: string): void;
change to:
ErrorHandler.handleError(error: any): void;
BREAKING CHANGES:
- `#` and `var` are not supported any more in expressions, use `let`,
- `var-<name>` could not be used any more on templates, use `let-<name>`,
- `var-<name>` could not be used any more to create a reference, use `ref-<name>`.
Accessing a property on the window object must be done with square brackets.
Otherwise closure compiler may collide the symbol's alias between the property
and variable mappings.
Also, accessing the 'provide' property must be done with dot syntax, so that
it can be renamed along with the code that declares such a property.
BREAKING CHANGE: previously deprecated @Component.directives and @Component.pipes support was removed.
All the components and pipes now must be declarated via an NgModule. NgModule is the basic
compilation block passed into the Angular compiler via Compiler#compileModuleSync or #compileModuleAsync.
Because of this change, the Compiler#compileComponentAsync and #compileComponentSync were removed as well -
any code doing compilation should compile module instead using the apis mentioned above.
Lastly, since modules are the basic compilation unit, the ngUpgrade module was modified to always require
an NgModule to be passed into the UpgradeAdapter's constructor - previously this was optional.
ngc can now validate metadata before emitting to verify it doesn't
contain an error symbol that will result in a runtime error if
it is used by the StaticReflector.
To enable this add the section,
"angularCompilerOptions": {
"strictMetadataEmit": true
}
to the top level of the tsconfig.json file passed to ngc.
Enabled metadata validation for packages that are intended to be
used statically.
Until we have comprehensive E2E tests, it's too risky to change the
reflector_host Misko wrote before final. But google3 uses path mapping
and needs all imports to be and all paths to be canonicalized to
the longest rootDir.
This change introduces a subclass of ReflectorHost with overrides for methods
that differ. After final (or when we have good tests), we'll refactor
them back into one class.
Often it is useful to test a component without rendering certain directives/components
in its template because these directives require some complicated setup.
You can do that by using NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA.
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
schemas: [NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA]
});
This would disable all schema checks in your tests.
Closes#10503
It is possible for code in `beforeEach` to capture and fork a zone
(for example creating `NgZone` in `beforeEach`). Subsequently the code
in `it` may chose to do `fakeAsync`. The issue is that because the
code in `it` can use `NgZone` from the `beforeEach`. it effectively can
escape the `fakeAsync` zone. A solution is to run all of the test in
`ProxyZone` which allows a test to dynamically replace the rules at any
time. This allows the `beforeEach` to fork a zone, and then `it` to
retroactively became `fakeAsync` zone.
When creating a new Headers object using an existing Headers object
the existing Headers map is copied by reference. Therefore adding a
new Header value to the new Headers object also added this value to
the existing Headers object which is not in accordance with the
spec.
This commit alters the constructor to create a deep copy of existing
Headers maps and therefore unlink existing Headers from new Headers.
Closes#6845
BREAKING CHANGE:
any code which relies on the fact that a newly
created Headers object is referencing an existing Headers map is
now broken, but that should normally not be the case since this
behavior is not documented and not in accordance with the spec.
BREAKING CHANGE: Animations defined using an at-symbol prefix that are
not property bound are now invalid.
```html
<!-- this is now invalid -->
<div @flip="flipState"></div>
<!-- change that to -->

```
BREAKING CHANGE: Animations that are not bound using the at-symbol
prefix using `animate-` must now be preixed using `bind-animate-`.
```html
<!-- this is now invalid -->
<div animate-flip="flipState"></div>
<!-- is valid now -->
<div bind-animate-flip="flipState"></div>

Remove TestComponentBuilder, addProviders, and withProviders. These

Note - this does not actually remove the functions, but makes them
internal only. They will be removed from the codebase entirely
at a later time.
Closes#9751
BREAKING CHANGE:
These forms of providers are no longer accepted:
bind(MyClass).toFactory(...)
new Provider(MyClass, toFactory: ...)
We now only accept:

BREAKING CHANGE: previously deprecated SystemJsComponentResolver and SystemJsCmpFactoryResolver have been removed.
Please follow deprecation instructions to migrate your code.
BREAKING CHANGE: previously deprecated coreBootstrap and coreLoadAndBootstrap have been removed.

BREAKING CHANGE: previously deprecated DirectiveMetadataType#properties and DirectiveMetadataType#events were removed; see deprecation notice for migration instructions.
This fixes an issue where `TestBed.overrideComponent(MyComp, {})`
would remove some properties including `providers` from the component.
This was due to the override not properly dealing with getter fields

BREAKING CHANGE:
The deprecated `provideForms()` and `disableDeprecatedForms()` functions have been removed. Please import the `FormsModule` or the `ReactiveFormsModule` from @angular/forms instead.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The deprecated forms APIs in @angular/common have been removed. Please update to the new forms API in @angular/forms. See angular.io for more information.
Closes#9729
BREAKING CHANGE:
`Type` is now `Type<T>` which means that in most cases you have to
use `Type<any>` in place of `Type`.
We don't expect that any user applications use the `Type` type.
Remove test setup functions which were deprecated in rc5. See the
changelog for rc5 for how to update. In brief, instead of
`setBaseTestProviders`, use `TestBed.initTestEnvironment`.
We changed the bootstrap order:
1. create NgZone
2. bootstrap ng1 inside NgZone and upgrade ng1 components to ng2 components.
3. bootstrap ng2 with NgZone
Note: Previous footgun behavior was: bootstrap ng2 first to extract NgZone, so that ng1 bootstrap can happen in NgZone. This meant that if ng2 bootstrap eagerly compiled a component which contained ng1 components, then we did not have complete metadata.
BREAKING CHANGE: UpgradeAdapter.addProvider are now deprecated in favor of passing in an NgModule into the adapter's constructor
Before:
```
let upgradeAdapter = new UpgradeAdapter();
upgradeAdapter.addProviders([myProvidersArray);
```
After:
```
@NgModule({
providers: myProvidersArray
})
class MyModule {}
let upgradeAdapter = new UpgradeAdapter(MyModule);

Currently in the `linker/compiler.ts` file, the **same identifier** is used in **two declarations**:
```typescript
export type CompilerOptions = { … }
…
export const CompilerOptions = new OpaqueToken('compilerOptions');
```
This breaks the API doc generation. I’m surprised that this was not flagged by the tsc.
The duplicate declaration was introduced in 46b212706b.
Prior to this change `ngc` would place generated files which refer
to components in the node_modules into the node_module. This is an
issue. Now all of the files are forced into a single directory
as specified in `tsconfig.json` by the `genDir` option.
see: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OgP1RIpZ-lWUc4113J3w13HTDcW-1-0o7TuGz0tGx0g
Because
- `Form` is **exported** -- see line 30/31 of
`modules/@angular/forms/src/forms.ts`: i.e., <br>`export {Form} from
'./directives/form_interface'`; and
- Methods of `Form`, which are public, have an
`AbstractFormGroupDirective` parameter;
e.g.,<br>`Form.getFormGroup(dir: AbstractFormGroupDirective):
FormGroup`.
Then it makes sense for `AbstractFormGroupDirective` to be
public/exported too. In any case, if it isn't exported then the **API
docs for `Form` don't get generated properly.**
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `ApplicationRef.run` is deprecated. Use `NgZone.run` directly
- `ApplicationRef.injector` is deprecated. Inject an `Injector` or
use `NgModuleRef.injector` instead
- `ApplicationRef.zone` is deprecated. Inject `NgZone` instead.
`ApplicationRef.bootstrap` is supposed to be run inside of `ngDoBootstrap` method
of the module that is bootstrapped, and that method already runs inside of the
zone.
This class allows any provider to know and wait for the initialization of the
application. This functionality previously was tied to `ApplicationRef`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `ApplicationRef.waitForAsyncInitializers` is deprecated. Use
`AppInitStatus.donePromise` / `AppInitStatus.done` instead.
If a `@NgModule` has a `bootstrap` property, `PlatformRef.bootstrapModule` /
`PlatformRef.bootstrapModuleFactory` will automatically bootstrap the components
listed in there.
If such a property does not exist, `PlatformRef.bootstrapModule` /
`PlatformRef.bootstrapModuleFactory` will try to call the method `ngDoBootstrap(appRef: ApplicationRef)` on the module class.
Otherwise an error is reported.
Using the `registerBootstrapListener` easily lead to race condition
and needed dependencies on `ApplicationRef`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `ApplicationRef.registerBootstrapListener` is deprecated. Provide a multi
provider for the new token `APP_BOOTSTRAP_LISTENER` instead.
Note about the addition of `beforeEach(fakeAsync(inject(…))))` in some tests:
`ApplicationRef` is now using `ngOnDestroy` and there is eager,
including all of its dependencies which contain `NgZone`.
The additional `fakeAsync` in `beforeEach` ensures that `NgZone`
uses the fake async zone as parent, and not the root zone.
BREAKING CHANGE (via deprecations):
- `ApplicationRef.dispose` is deprecated. Destroy the module that was
created during bootstrap instead by calling `NgModuleRef.destroy`.
- `AplicationRef.registerDisposeListener` is deprecated.
Use the `ngOnDestroy` lifecycle hook for providers or
`NgModuleRef.onDestroy` instead.
- `disposePlatform` is deprecated. Use `destroyPlatform` instead.
- `PlatformRef.dipose()` is deprecated. Use `PlatformRef.destroy()`
instead.
- `PlatformRef.registerDisposeListener` is deprecated. Use
`PlatformRef.onDestroy` instead.
- `PlaformRef.diposed` is deprecated. Use `PlatformRef.destroyed`
instead.
This is needed for the case if a `beforeEach` instantiates
`NgZone`and the `it` uses
`TestComponentBuilder.createFakeAsync`.
Otherwise the `NgZone` will use the root zone as parent,
and `TestComponentBuilder.createFakeAsync` will always return
undefined as `tick` does not forward promises created
under the zone of `NgZone`.
This makes `bootstrapModuleFactory` wait for promises
returned by `APP_INITIALIZER`s, also making `bootstrapModuleFactory` async.
I.e. now `bootstrapModule` and `bootstrapModuleFactory` behave in the
same way.
This ensures that all code from module instantiation, to creating
`ApplicationRef`s as well as calling `APP_INITIALIZERS` is run
in the Angular zone.
This also moves the invocation of the initializers from the `ApplicationRef`
constructor into the `bootstrapModuleFactory` call, allowing initializers
to get a hold of `ApplicationRef` (see #9101).

The methods on `ViewResolverMock` have been merged into `DirectiveResolver`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- ES5 users can no longer use the `View(…)` function to provide `ViewMetadata`.
This mirrors the removal of the `@View` decorator a while ago.
Prior to this fix [ngClass] would remove all dynamic classes
when destroyed. It's essential that classes are persisted such
that remove-based animations will still be stylistically correct.
This patch fixes this issue.
Closes#10008Closes#10303
Previously, Angular would warn users when simply re-encoding text
outside of the ASCII range. While harmless, the log spam was annoying.
With this change, Angular specifically tracks whether anything was
stripped during sanitization, and only reports a warning if so.
Fixes#10206.
BREAKING CHANGES:
- `browserPlatform`/`browserDynamicPlatform`/... have been deprecated and renamed into `platformBrowser`/`platformBrowserDynamic`/....
- `bootstrapModule` and `bootstrapModuleFactory` have been moved to be members of `PlaformRef`.
E.g. `platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(MyModule)`.
This allows Angular to error on unknown properties,
allowing applications that don’t use custom elements
to get better error reporting.
Part of #10043
BREAKING CHANGE:
- By default, Angular will error during parsing
on unknown properties,
even if they are on elements with a `-` in their name
(aka custom elements). If you application is using
custom elements, fill the new parameter `@NgModule.schemas`
with the value `[CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]`.
E.g. for bootstrap:
```
bootstrap(MyComponent, {schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]});
```
Part of #10043
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `@Component.precompile` was renamed to `@Component.entryComponents`
(old property still works but is deprecated)
- `ANALYZE_FOR_PRECOMPILE` was renamed to `ANALYZE_FOR_ENTRY_COMPONENTS` (no deprecations)
This contains major changes to the compiler, bootstrap of the platforms
and test environment initialization.
Main part of #10043Closes#10164
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Semantics and name of `@AppModule` (now `@NgModule`) changed quite a bit.
This is actually not breaking as `@AppModules` were not part of rc.4.
We will have detailed docs on `@NgModule` separately.
- `coreLoadAndBootstrap` and `coreBootstrap` can't be used any more (without migration support).
Use `bootstrapModule` / `bootstrapModuleFactory` instead.
- All Components listed in routes have to be part of the `declarations` of an NgModule.
Either directly on the bootstrap module / lazy loaded module, or in an NgModule imported by them.
Some test cases incorrectly rely on the side effect of other test cases
importing `NgMatchers`. This commit fixes this by making `expect` in
`core/testing_internal` properly typed.
Resource URLs are strictly "more" trustworthy than plain URLs, so trusting them maintains the same level of security while avoiding to break people when we downgrade a resource URL context to a plain URL context.
BREAKING CHANGE
Previously both imperative (router.navigate) and declarative (routerLink) navigations
would preserve the current query params and fragment. This behavior turned out to
be confusing. This commit changes it.
Now, neither is preserved by default. To preserve them, you need to do the following:
router.naviage("newUrl", {preserveQueryParams: true, preserveFragment: true})
<a routerLink="newUrl" preserveQueryParams preserveFragment></a>
This removes the magic from the `inject` test helper that would inspect
the current zone and would only work with our `async` test helper.
Now, `inject` is always synchronous, and if you are using a module
that requires async precompilation, you're required to call
`doAsyncPrecompilation` in your tests.
This is part of the breaking changes introduced with the swap
to each test having an AppModule.
Closes#9975Closes#9593
BREAKING CHANGE:
`TestInjector` is now renamed to `TestBed`
Before:
```js
import {TestInjector, getTestInjector} from '@angular/core/testing';
```
After:
```js
import {TestBed, getTestBed} from '@angular/core/testing';
```
Due to daa9da4047,
tests using the setBaseTestProviders stopped working with ambient directives such as
`ngIf`. Add them back in to keep the shim working.
This remove a breaking change introduced with commit #e7a8e2757b06d572f614f53b648d2fd75df370d2 where json objects passed to requests were not converted into string.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The behavior in this commit is the same as before PR 7260 : the objects sent with the request are converted to a string, therefore there is no need for the user to take care of the serialization.
Fixes#10073
The testing_e2e util does not belong in platform-browser and was never
intended to be a public API. Move it out of that whole tree.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The following API was never intended to be public and is removed:
```js
import {verifyNoBrowserErrors} from '@angular/platform-browser/testing_e2e';
```
Consider using Protractor's console plugin: https://github.com/angular/protractor-console-plugin
BREAKING CHANGES:

"{" should be escaped as "{{ '{' }}"
Before:
<span>some { valid } text</span>
After:
<span>some { invalid } text<span> <!-- throw parse error -->
<span>some {{ '{' }} valid } text</span>
This change reverts the removal of setBaseTestProviders that was
introduced in 8d746e3f67.
Instead, setBaseTestProviders and the providers provided from
`@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing` and `@angular/server/testing`
will still work for the next release, but are deprecated.
See 8d746e3f67 for how to upgrade.
BREAKING CHANGE (deprecations)
- Instead of `coreBootstrap`, create an `@AppModule` and use `bootstrapModule`.
- Instead of `coreLoadAndBootstarp`, create an `@AppModule` and use `bootstrapModuleFactory`.
- Instead of `bootstrapWorkerApp`, create an `@AppModule` that includes the `WorkerAppModule` and use `bootstrapModule` with the `workerAppPlatform()`.
- Instead of `bootstrapWorkerUi`, create an @AppModule that includes the `WorkerUiModule` and use `bootstrapModule` with the `workerUiPlatform()` instead.
- Instead of `serverBootstrap`, create an @AppModule and use `bootstrapModule` with the `serverDynamicPlatform()` instead.
- Instead of `PLATFORM_PIPES` and `PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES`, provide platform directives/pipes via an `@AppModule`.

- use `AppModuleFactoryLoader` for lazy loading.
- Instead of `SystemJsComponentResolver`, create an `@AppModule` and use `SystemJsAppModuleLoader`.
- Instead of `SystemJsCmpFactoryResolver`, create an `@AppModule` and use `SystemJsAppModuleFactoryLoader`

- Changes browser bootstrap for runtime and offline compilation (see below for an example).
* introduces `bootstrapModule` and `bootstrapModuleFactory` in `@angular/core`
* introduces new `browserDynamicPlatform` in `@angular/platform-browser-dynamic
- Changes `initTestEnvironment` (which used to be `setBaseTestProviders`) to not take a compiler factory any more (see below for an example).
BREAKING CHANGE:
## Migration from `setBaseTestProviders` to `initTestEnvironment`:
- For the browser platform:
BEFORE:
```
import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’;
import {TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’;

```
- For the server platform:
BEFORE:
```
import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’;
import {TEST_SERVER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_SERVER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS} from ‘@angular/platform-server/testing/server’;
setBaseTestProviders(TEST_SERVER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_SERVER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS);
```

Closes#9922
Part of #9726
We still support this via a hack, but should remove this soon.
This also fixes tests for module directives / pipes
as they used directives / pipes that were
already present in the underlying platform.
Animation triggers can now be set via template bindings `[]`
BREAKING CHANGE:
animation trigger expressions within the template that are assigned as
an element attribute (e.g. `@prop`) are deprecated. Please use the
Angular2 property binding syntax (e.g. `[@prop]`) when assigning
properties.
```ts
// this is now deprecated
<div @trigger="expression"></div>
// do this instead
<div [@trigger]="expression"></div>
```
Introduces the new `ANALYZE_FOR_PRECOMPILE` token. This token can be used to
create a virtual provider that will populate the `precompile` fields of
components and app modules based on its
`useValue`. All components that are referenced in the `useValue`
value (either directly or in a nested array or map) will be added
to the `precompile` property.
closes#9874
related to #9726
Closes#9732
BREAKING CHANGE:
We have removed the deprecated form directives from the built-in platform directive list, so apps are not required to package forms with their app. This also makes forms friendly to offline compilation.
Instead, we have exposed three modules:
OLD API:
- `DeprecatedFormsModule`
NEW API:
- `FormsModule`
- `ReactiveFormsModule`
If you provide one of these modules, the default forms directives and providers from that module will be available to you app-wide. Note: You can provide both the `FormsModule` and the `ReactiveFormsModule` together if you like, but they are fully-functional separately.
**Before:**
```ts
import {disableDeprecatedForms, provideForms} from @angular/forms;
bootstrap(App, [
disableDeprecatedForms(),
provideForms()
]);
```
**After:**
```ts
import {DeprecatedFormsModule} from @angular/common;
bootstrap(App, {modules: [DeprecatedFormsModule] });
```
-OR-
```ts
import {FormsModule} from @angular/forms;
bootstrap(App, {modules: [FormsModule] });
```
-OR-
```ts
import {ReactiveFormsModule} from @angular/forms;
bootstrap(App, {modules: [ReactiveFormsModule] });
```
You can also choose not to provide any forms module and run your app without forms.
Or you can choose not to provide any forms module *and* provide form directives at will. This will allow you to use the deprecatedForms API for some components and not others.
```
import {FORM_DIRECTIVES, FORM_PROVIDERS} from @angular/forms;
@Component({
selector: some-comp,
directives: [FORM_DIRECTIVES],
providers: [FORM_PROVIDERS]
})
class SomeComp
```
Every test now has an implicit module. It can be configured via `configureModule` (from @angular/core/testing)
to add providers, directives, pipes, ...
The compiler now has to be configured separately via `configureCompiler` (from @angular/core/testing)
to add providers or define whether to use jit.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Application providers can no longer inject compiler internals (i.e. everything
from `@angular/compiler). Inject `Compiler` instead. This reflects the
changes to `bootstrap` for module support (3f55aa609f).
- Compiler providers can no longer be added via `addProviders` / `withProviders`.
Use the new method `configureCompiler` instead.
- Platform directives / pipes need to be provided via
`configureModule` and can no longer be provided via the
`PLATFORM_PIPES` / `PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES` tokens.
- `setBaseTestProviders()` was renamed into `initTestEnvironment` and
now takes a `PlatformRef` and a factory for a
`Compiler`.
- E.g. for the browser platform:
BEFORE:
```
import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’;
import {TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’;
setBaseTestProviders(TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_BROWSER_DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS);
```
AFTER:
```
import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’;
import {browserTestCompiler, browserDynamicTestPlatform,
BrowserDynamicTestModule} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’;
initTestEnvironment(
browserTestCompiler,
browserDynamicTestPlatform(),
BrowserDynamicTestModule);
```
- E.g. for the server platform:
BEFORE:
```
import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’;
import {TEST_SERVER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_SERVER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS} from ‘@angular/platform-server/testing/server’;
setBaseTestProviders(TEST_SERVER_PLATFORM_PROVIDERS,
TEST_SERVER_APPLICATION_PROVIDERS);
```
AFTER:
```
import {setBaseTestProviders} from ‘@angular/core/testing’;
import {serverTestCompiler, serverTestPlatform,
ServerTestModule} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing’;
initTestEnvironment(
serverTestCompiler,
serverTestPlatform(),
ServerTestModule);

This introduces the `BrowserModule` to be used for long form
bootstrap and offline compile bootstrap:

precompile: [MainComponent],
providers: […], // additional providers
directives: […], // additional platform directives
pipes: […] // additional platform pipes
})
class MyModule {
constructor(appRef: ApplicationRef) {
appRef.bootstrap(MainComponent);
}
}
// offline compile
import {bootstrapModuleFactory} from ‘@angular/platform-browser’;
bootstrapModuleFactory(MyModuleNgFactory);
// runtime compile long form
import {bootstrapModule} from ‘@angular/platform-browser-dynamic’;
bootstrapModule(MyModule);
```
The short form, `bootstrap(...)`, can now creates a module on the fly,
given `directives`, `pipes, `providers`, `precompile` and `modules`
properties.
Related changes:
- make `SanitizationService`, `SecurityContext` public in `@angular/core` so that the offline compiler can resolve the token
- move `AnimationDriver` to `platform-browser` and make it
public so that the offline compiler can resolve the token
BREAKING CHANGES:
- short form bootstrap does no longer allow
to inject compiler internals (i.e. everything
from `@angular/compiler). Inject `Compiler` instead.
To provide custom providers for the compiler,
create a custom compiler via `browserCompiler({providers: [...]})`
and pass that into the `bootstrap` method.
This implements a new class, QueryEncoder, that provides
methods for encoding keys and values of query parameter.
The encoder encodes with encodeURIComponent, and then
decodes a whitelist of allowed characters back to their
unencoded form.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The changes to Http's URLSearchParams serialization now
prevent encoding of these characters inside query parameters
which were previously converted to percent-encoded values:
@ : $ , ; + ; ? /
The default encoding behavior can be overridden by extending
QueryEncoder, as documented in the URLSearchParams service.
Fixes#9348
Adds new abstraction `Compiler` with methods
`compileComponentAsync` and `compileComponentSync`.
This is in preparation of deprecating `ComponentResolver`.
`compileComponentSync` is able to compile components
synchronously given all components either have an inline
template or they have been compiled before.
Also changes `TestComponentBuilder.createSync` to
take a `Type` and use the new `compileComponentSync` method.
Also supports overriding the component metadata even if
the component has already been compiled.
Also fixes#7084 in a better way.
BREAKING CHANGE:
`TestComponentBuilder.createSync` now takes a component type
and throws if not all templates are either inlined
are compiled before via `createAsync`.
Closes#9594
- ts-api-guardian will now error if a new public symbol is added with a stability marker (`@stable`, `@experimental`, `@deprecated`)

- `@angular/compiler` was removed from the ts-api-guardian check since this package shouldn't contain anything that users need to directly import

Instead, the async function now determines whether it should return a promise
or instead call a done function parameter. Importing Jasmine functions
from `@angular/core/testing` is no longer necessary and is now deprecated.
Additionally, beforeEachProviders is also deprecated, as it is specific
to the testing framework. Instead, use the new addProviders method directly.
Before:
```js
import {beforeEachProviders, it, describe, inject} from 'angular2/testing/core';
describe('my code', () => {
beforeEachProviders(() => [MyService]);
it('does stuff', inject([MyService], (service) => {
// actual test
});
});
```
After:
```js
import {addProviders, inject} from 'angular2/testing/core';
describe('my code', () => {
beforeEach(() => {
addProviders([MyService]);
});
it('does stuff', inject([MyService], (service) => {
// actual test
});
});
```
TestComponentBuilder now lives in core/testing. compiler/testing contains a private
OverridingTestComponentBuilder implementation which handles the private behavior
we need to override templates. This is part of the effort to simplify the testing
imports and hide compiler APIs.
Closes#9585
BREAKING CHANGE:
`TestComponentBuilder` is now imported from `@angular/core/testing`. Imports
from `@angular/compiler/testing` are deprecated.
Before:
```
import {TestComponentBuilder, TestComponentRenderer, ComponentFixtureAutoDetect} from '@angular/compiler/testing';
```
After:
```
import {TestComponentBuilder, TestComponentRenderer, ComponentFixtureAutoDetect} from '@angular/core/testing';
```
BREAKING CHANGE:
MockLocationStrategy was intended to be internal only and is now removed
from the `@angular/common/testing` public api.
Use `SpyLocation` from `@angular/common/testing` for location testing.
BREAKING CHANGE:
`ComponentFixture` will be moving out of `@angular/compiler/testing` to `@angular/core/testing` in
this release. For now, it is deprecated from `@angular/compiler/testing`.
Previously, we were exporting internal mocks and helpers. Move these
to core/testing/testing_internal or remove them if they were
never used.
Remove deprecated items - injectAsync, clearPendingTimers.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Remove the following APIs from `@angular/core/testing`, which have been deprecated or were
never intended to be publicly exported:
```
injectAsync
clearPendingTimers
Log
MockAppliacationHref
MockNgZone
clearPendingTimers
getTypeOf
instantiateType
```
Instead of `injectAsync`, use `async(inject())`.
`clearPendingTimers` is no longer required.
Mostly, removing things that were never intended to be exported publicy.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The following are no longer publicly exported APIs. They were intended as internal
utilities and you should use your own util:
```
browserDetection,
dispatchEvent,
el,
normalizeCSS,
stringifyElement,
expect (and custom matchers for Jasmine)

BREAKING CHANGES:
Previously multiple template bindings on one element

were leading to undesired result. It is possible that a small number
of applications will see template parse errors that shuld be fixed by
nesting elements or using `<template>` tags explicitly.

After splitting the facades into multiple modules,
enabling prod mode for code had no effect for the compiler.

If a user ends up with a safe value in an interpolation context, that's probably
a bug. Returning `"SafeValue must use [property]= binding"` will make it easier
to detect and correct the situation. Detecting the situation and throwing an
error for it could cause performance issues, so we're not doing this at this
point (but might revisit later).
Part of #8511 and #9253.
This lets users continue using runtime-sideeffect Decorators if they choose,
only down-leveling the marked ones to Annotations.
Also remove the "skipTemplateCodegen" option, which is no longer needed
since Angular compiles with tsc-wrapped rather than ngc. The former doesn't
include any codegen.
"render" is gramatically incorrect and confusing to developers who used this api.
Since webworker apis were exposed only in master, renaming these before the rc2 release

Previously these symbols were exposed via platform-browser-dynamic, then we merged then into platform-browser
thinking that tools would know how to shake off the compiler and other dynamic bits not used with the offline
compilation flow. This turned out to be wrong as both webpack and rollup don't have good enough tree-shaking
capabilities to do this today. We think that in the future we'll be able to merge these two entry points into
one, but we need to give tooling some time before we can do it. In the meantime the reintroduction of the -dynamic
package point allows us to separate the compiler dependencies from the rest of the framework.
This change undoes the previous breaking change that removed the platform-browser-dynamic package.
The collector now collects the body of functions that return an
expression as a symbolic 'function'. The static reflector supports
expanding these functions statically to allow provider macros.
Also added support for the array spread operator in both the
collector and the static reflector.
This aligns the configuration of platform pipes / directives with offline compilation.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `PLATFORM_PIPES` and `PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES` now are fields on `CompilerConfig`.
Instead of providing a binding to these tokens, provide a binding for `CompilerConfig` instead.
The web animations API now requires that all styles are converted to
camel case. Chrome has already made this breaking change and hyphenated
styles are not functional anymore.

Refactored ReflectorHost to allow it to be tested.
Fixed an issue where the .d.ts was findable but it wasn't used by the project

styling when the destination state is not detected.
```ts
state("*", style({ ... }))
```
Closes#9013
This is needed to have a true replacement of the previous
`DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation`, so that components
can be loaded into the view before change detection runs.
Closes#9040
StaticReflector provides more context on errors reported by the
collector.
The metadata collector now records the line and character of the node that
caused it to report the error.
Includes other minor fixes to error reporting and a wording change.
Fixes#8978Closes#9011
There is no need to expose this additional method inside of the Renderer
API. The functionality can be restored by looping and calling
`setElementStyle` instead.
Note that this change is changing code that was was introduced after
the last release therefore this fix is not a breaking change.
Closes#9000Closes#9009
The metadata collector was modified to look up references in the
import list instead of resolving the symbol using the TypeChecker
making the use of the TypeChecker vestigial. This change removes
all uses of the TypeChecker.
Modified the schema to be able to record global and local (non-module
specific references).
Added error messages to the schema and errors are recorded in
the metadata file allowing the static reflector to throw errors
if an unsupported construct is referenced by metadata.
Closes#8966Fixes#8893Fixes#8894
- many entry points were previously missing (e.g. all testing entry points, http, etc)
- upgrade ts-api-guardian to 0.0.3 that adds support for more api surface
- add all info to the spec that was surfaced by ts-api-guardian@0.0.3
BREAKING CHANGE: Location#platformStrategy property was previously accidentaly exported as public
If any application requires access to the current location strategy, it should be accessed via DI instead
by injecting the LocationStrategy token.
The likelyhood of anyone actually depending on this property is very low.

This ensures we run in a clean directory, using our real distribution. It finds bugs like @internal
APIs needed to type-check in the offline compiler, as well as problems in package.json.
Also move tsc-wrapped under tools/@angular
This addresses several oversights in assigning security contexts to DOM schema
elements found by our security reviewers (thanks!).
This also adds some more precise unit tests for the interaction between
(Dom)ElementSchemaRegistry and the TemplateParser, and extracts the security
specific parts into dom_security_schema.ts.
Comparison of (potentially) dangerous property names is done case insensitive,
to avoid issues like formAction vs formaction.

Same as 2bf21e1747 but for new router.
This also fixes an issue where when application loads it clears forward history
because Router constructor calls navigateByUrl which was causing a push state to happen.
The code does not force the user to provider `RenderDebugInfo`. The
current implementation lists this as a mandatory parameter. Update
the parameter to be optional.
Fixes#8466Closes#8859
The current behavior is for ngDoCheck to supplement, not override, the default change detector. OnChanges will still be called when DoCheck is implemented (fixes#7307).
Clicks on router-link should not prevent browser default action when

This allows angular's build to depend on some extensions, but not on code generation, and breaks a cycle in the angular build
We now merge ts-metadata-collector into tsc-wrapped and stop publishing the former.
This symbol is no longer reexported at the top level, so it's safe to not mark it as internal.
This fixes the offline compilation which got broken by this symbol not being present in the d.ts
files when the compiler tries to do a deep import.
Closes#8819
the tslint rules have not been executed on the right files when this the lint was reenabled
after package splitup making the linting useless. When reenabled lots of errors show up.
I'm disabling this for now until we come back and fix up the code issues.
<!-- xxxx ------->
The issue came from a lack of support for backtracking on string
matching.
The way it is done, if the "end pattern" for consumeRawText starts with
twice the same character, you end up having problem when your string
being parsed has 3 times this char
Example
End string: xxyz
string to parse: aaaaaaxxxyz
calling consumeRawText(false, 'x', attemptParseStr('xyz')) would fail

- require the module in the jsserve.js file
- add the module in the middleware list

Taken into account the withCredentials property within the request options:
- added corresponding property in the RequestOptions class
- added corresponding property in the Request class

Implement the ability to provide objects as request body. The following use cases
are supported:
* raw objects: a JSON payload is created and the content type set to `application/json`
* text: the text is used as it is and no content type header is automatically added
* URLSearchParams: a form payload is created and the content type set to `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`
* FormData: the object is used as it is and no content type header is automatically added
* Blob: the object is used as it is and the content type set with the value of its `type` property if any
* ArrayBuffer: the object is used as it is and no content type header is automatically added

If the $routerOnActivate hook returns a promise, the navigation

Currently downgraded ng2 elements fail inside a ui-router view because they are unable
to require an ng2 Injector via the require attribute of the DDO, because ui-router compiles
its templates before they are inserted in a ui-view. This adds a "fallback" behavior if
a parent injector cannot be found to go to the root ng2 Injector.
Delays NG1 Directive controller instatiation where possible and pre-link function always
to the ngOnInit() lifecycle hook. This way bindings are always available on $scope in both
the controller and the link function.
Allows sanitized URLs for CSS properties. These can be abused for information
leakage, but only if the CSS rules are already set up to allow for it. That is,
an attacker cannot cause information leakage without controlling the style rules
present, or a very particular setup.
Fixes#8514.
Sanitizing style and URL values breaks specific patterns, see #8491 for
an example. This documents and acknowledges the breaking change while we
work on improving CSS sanitization to allow more values through.
This is based on Angular 1's implementation, parsing an HTML document
into an inert DOM Document implementation, and then serializing only
specifically whitelisted elements.
It currently does not support SVG sanitization, all SVG elements are
rejected.
If available, the sanitizer uses the `<template>` HTML element as an
inert container.
Sanitization works client and server-side.

When a view is destroyed, we destroy all

the bundles have source mpas disabled for now because when we downlevel
the esm bundle to es5 tsc doesn't consider the original source map so
we end up with a source map pointing to the esm bundle instead which is
not useful.
Summary:
This adds basic security hooks to Angular 2.
* `SecurityContext` is a private API between core, compiler, and
platform-browser. `SecurityContext` communicates what context a value is used
in across template parser, compiler, and sanitization at runtime.
* `SanitizationService` is the bare bones interface to sanitize values for a
particular context.
* `SchemaElementRegistry.securityContext(tagName, attributeOrPropertyName)`
determines the security context for an attribute or property (it turns out
attributes and properties match for the purposes of sanitization).
Based on these hooks:
* `DomSchemaElementRegistry` decides what sanitization applies in a particular
context.
* `DomSanitizationService` implements `SanitizationService` and adds *Safe
Value*s, i.e. the ability to mark a value as safe and not requiring further
sanitization.
* `url_sanitizer` and `style_sanitizer` sanitize URLs and Styles, respectively
(surprise!).
`DomSanitizationService` is the default implementation bound for browser
applications, in the three contexts (browser rendering, web worker rendering,
server side rendering).

Impure pipes need to live on the view
that used them and need a new instance for
each call site.
Impure pipes need to live on the component view, cached across all child views,
and need a new pure proxy for each for
each call site that lives on the view
of the call site.
Fixes#8408
This bug was introduced not long ago by 152a117d5c
Also add a configuration switch to disable the codegen, so we can
still use the metadata emit and tsickle pre-processing in the
build pipeline for angular itself.
Before, we would create all fields in the generated views
with visibility `private`. This does not work if an embedded
view references a directive / element in a parent view.
In Dart, this was no problem so far as it does not have
a `private` modifier.
Before, `useValue` in a provider did not work when doing
offline compile, as so far the `MetadataResolver` was only
used for jit mode. Now, `useValue` supports any kind of value
that the static reflector can return. E.g. primitives,
arrays, string maps, …
Closes#8366
Most of the bugs discovered so far in the offline compiler were related to the StaticReflector. As it was part of angular2 core, it was hard to update. Moving it into the compiler_cli allows to release more often until the compiler_cli gets more stable.
Note: Moving the unit test next to the sources is the simplest option for now in terms of build setup.
Note: This commit only does the move. The next commit updates the build to run it again.
This change adds providers for fake router dependecies.
This allows TestComponentBuilder to create components with RouterLink and RouterOutlet directives
without the test writer needing to override them.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- ViewRef.changeDetectorRef was removed as using ChangeDetectorRefs
for EmbeddedViewRefs does not make sense. Use ComponentRef.changeDetectorRef
or inject ChangeDetectorRef instead.
Fixes#8242
The previous code that had `try/catch` statements in methods could not be optimized by Chrome.
This change separates `AppView` (no `try/catch`) form `DebugAppView` (always `try/catch`). Our codegen will use `AppView` in production mode and `DebugAppView` in debug mode.
Closes#8338
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `DynamicComponentLoader` is deprecated. Use `ComponentResolver` and `ViewContainerRef` directly.
- `DebugNode.inject` is deprecated. use `DebugNode.injector.get` instead.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Before, a `EmbeddedViewRef` used to have methods for
setting variables. Now, a user has to pass in a context
object that represents all variables when an `EmbeddedViewRef`
should be created.
- `ViewContainerRef.createEmbeddedViewRef` now takes
a context object as 2nd argument.
- `EmbeddedViewRef.setLocal` and `getLocal` have been removed.
Use `EmbeddedViewRef.context` to access the context.
- `DebugNode.locals` has been removed. Use the new methods `DebugElement.references`
to get the references that are present on this element,
or `DebugElement.context` to get the context of the `EmbeddedViewRef` or the component to which the element belongs.
Closes#8321
This tool lets us re-write TypeScript sources before entering the emit pipeline.
For example, we lower Decorators to the tree-shakable Annotation form.
These worked in Dart because they were effectively exported even without the export keyword.
Without exporting these symbols, they are not produced in .metadata.json files, which leaves
dangling references from the Decorators that use them.
Instantiating the test component within an NgZone will let us track async tasks in event handlers and change detection.
We can also do auto change detection when triggering events through dispatchEvent and not have to do fixture.detectChange() manually in the test.
New API:
ComponentFixture.autoDetectChanges() - This puts the fixture in auto detect mode that automatically calls detectChanges when the microtask queue is empty (Similar to how change detection is triggered in an actual application).
ComponentFixture.isStable() - This returns a boolean whether the fixture is currently stable or has some async tasks that need to be completed.
ComponentFixture.whenStable() - This returns a promise that is resolved when the fixture is stable after all async tasks are complete.
Closes#8301
The filename contains the module name as resolved by users, so the top-level module name is uneeded.
Module names on references are replaced by capturing the import syntax from the module.
This allows readers of the metadata to do the module resolution themselves.
Fixes#8225Fixes#8082Closes#8256
Remove FunctionWithParamTokens.
All test wrappers async, fakeAsync and inject now return just a Function instead of FunctionWithParamTokens. This makes them directly consumable by the test framework. Also the test framework code does not have to handle a union of Function and FunctionWithParamTokens everywhere.
The Function returned by the above methods are considered asynchronous by the test framework if they return a Promise, synchronous otherwise.
Closes#8257
Introduces `ref-` to give a name to an element or a directive (also works for `<template>` elements), and `let-` to introduce an input variable for a `<template>` element.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `#...` now always means `ref-`.
- `<template #abc>` now defines a reference to the TemplateRef, instead of an input variable used inside of the template.
- `#...` inside of a *ngIf, … directives is deprecated.
Use `let …` instead.
- `var-...` is deprecated. Replace with `let-...` for `<template>` elements and `ref-` for non `<template>` elements.
Closes#7158Closes#8264
When a component uses a list of directives, such as `ROUTER_DIRECTIVES`,
make `TestComponentBuilder#overrideDirective` work properly for members
of the list.
Closes#7397Closes#8217
Pure pipes as well as arrays and maps are
implemented via proxy functions. This is
faster than the previous implementation
and also generates less code.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- pipes now take a variable number of arguments, and not an array that contains all arguments.
Update the version of zone.js to @0.6.12 that contains the new FakeAsyncTestZoneSpec.
The new fakeAsync zone handles errors better and clearPendingTimers() is no longer required to be called after handling an error and is deprecated.
The fakeAsync test zone will now throw an error if an XHR is attemtped within the test since that cannot be controlled synchronously in the test(Need to be mocked out with a service implementation that doesn't involve XHRs).
This commit also allows fakeAsync to wrap inject to make it consistent with async test zone.
BREAKING CHANGE:
inject can no longer wrap fakeAsync while fakeAsync can wrap inject. So the order in existing tests with inject and fakeAsync has to be switched as follows:
Before:
```
inject([...], fakeAsync((...) => {...}))
```
After:
```
fakeAsync(inject([...], (...) => {...}))
```
Closes#8142
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);
```
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Injector was renamed into `ReflectiveInjector`,
as `Injector` is only an abstract class with one method on it
- `Injector.getOptional()` was changed into `Injector.get(token, notFoundValue)`
to make implementing injectors simpler
- `ViewContainerRef.createComponent` now takes an `Injector`
instead of `ResolvedProviders`. If a reflective injector
should be used, create one before calling this method.
(e.g. via `ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate(…)`.
This adds the feature for `@ViewChild`/`@ViewChildren`/`@ContentChild`/`@ContentChildren` to define what to read from the queried element.
E.g. `@ViewChild(`someVar`, read: ViewContainerRef)` will locate the element with a variable `someVar` on it and return a `ViewContainerRef` for it.
Background: With this change, Angular knows exactly at which elements there will be `ViewConainerRef`s as the user has to ask explicitly of them. This simplifies codegen and will make converting Angular templates into server side templates simpler as well.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoLocation` has been removed. Use `@ViewChild(‘myVar’, read: ViewContainerRef)` to get hold of a `ViewContainerRef` at an element with variable `myVar`.
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation` now takes a `ViewContainerRef` instead of an `ElementRef`.
- `AppViewManager` is renamed into `ViewUtils` and is a mere private utility service.
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
Instead of using injectAsync and returning a promise, use the `async` function
to wrap tests. This will run the test inside a zone which does not complete
the test until all asynchronous tasks have been completed.
`async` may be used with the `inject` function, or separately.
BREAKING CHANGE:
`injectAsync` is now deprecated. Instead, use the `async` function
to wrap any asynchronous tests.
Before:
```
it('should wait for returned promises', injectAsync([FancyService], (service) => {
return service.getAsyncValue().then((value) => { expect(value).toEqual('async value'); });
}));
it('should wait for returned promises', injectAsync([], () => {
return somePromise.then(() => { expect(true).toEqual(true); });
}));
```
After:
```
it('should wait for returned promises', async(inject([FancyService], (service) => {
service.getAsyncValue().then((value) => { expect(value).toEqual('async value'); });
})));
// Note that if there is no injection, we no longer need `inject` OR `injectAsync`.
it('should wait for returned promises', async(() => {
somePromise.then() => { expect(true).toEqual(true); });
}));
```
Closes#7735
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
Closes#6301Closes#6567
Reflector always returns either an empty object or an empty list if no
metadata is recorded for the class. StaticReflector matches this
behavior.
Closes#7986
using "/// <reference" is incorrect because it makes our code non-portable. The correct solution is to provide
these typings as ambient typings as an additional entry point - which we already do.
Closes#8050
To workaround https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/7573
we must remove the readonly keyword from generated .d.ts files.
This solution will not scale, but will probably buy enough time to require our users move to a 2.0 beta.
Closes#8003
In Dart, ImmutableLists are just a projection of an underlying list.
I.e. if the underlying list changes, the ImmutableList also changes.
So we can't make optimizations based on checking whether a collection
is an ImmutableList.
This reverts commit a10c02cb41.
Closes#8023
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).

## The `PR: merge` label and `presubmit-*` branches
# Change approvals
We have automated the process for merging pull requests into master. Our goal is to minimize the disruption for
Angular committers and also prevent breakages on master.
Change approvals in our monorepo are managed via [pullapprove.com](https://about.pullapprove.com/) and are configured via the `.pullapprove.yaml` file.
When a PR has `pr_state: LGTM` and is ready to merge, you should add the `pr_action: merge` label.
Currently (late 2015), we need to ensure that each PR will cleanly merge into the Google-internal version control,
so the caretaker reviews the changes manually.
After this review, the caretaker adds `zomg_admin: do_merge` which is restricted to admins only.
A robot running as [mary-poppins](https://github.com/mary-poppins)
is notified that the label was added by an authorized person,
and will create a new branch in the angular project, using the convention `presubmit-{username}-pr-{number}`.
# Merging
(Note: if the automation fails, committers can instead push the commits to a branch following this naming scheme.)
Once a change has all the approvals either the last approver or the PR author (if PR author has the project collaborator status) should mark the PR with "PR: merge" label.
This signals to the caretaker that the PR should be merged.
When a Travis build succeeds for a presubmit branch named following the convention,
Travis will re-base the commits, merge to master, and close the PR automatically.
# Who is the Caretaker?
Finally, after merge `mary-poppins` removes the presubmit branch.
## Administration
The list of users who can trigger a merge by adding the `zomg_admin: do_merge` label is stored in our appengine app datastore.

Before you submit an issue, search the archive, maybe your question was already answered.
If your issue appears to be a bug, and hasn't been reported, open a new issue.
Help us to maximize the effort we can spend fixing issues and adding new
features, by not reporting duplicate issues. Providing the following information will increase the
chances of your issue being dealt with quickly:
Before you submit an issue, please search the issue tracker, maybe an issue for your problem already exists and the discussion might inform you of workarounds readily available.
* **Overview of the Issue** - if an error is being thrown a non-minified stack trace helps
* **Angular Version** - what version of Angular is affected (e.g. 2.0.0-alpha.53)
* **Motivation for or Use Case** - explain what are you trying to do and why the current behavior is a bug for you
* **Browsers and Operating System** - is this a problem with all browsers?
* **Reproduce the Error** - provide a live example (using [Plunker][plunker],
[JSFiddle][jsfiddle] or [Runnable][runnable]) or a unambiguous set of steps
* **Related Issues** - has a similar issue been reported before?
* **Suggest a Fix** - if you can't fix the bug yourself, perhaps you can point to what might be
causing the problem (line of code or commit)
We want to fix all the issues as soon as possible, but before fixing a bug we need to reproduce and confirm it. In order to reproduce bugs we will systematically ask you to provide a minimal reproduction scenario using http://plnkr.co. Having a live, reproducible scenario gives us wealth of important information without going back & forth to you with additional questions like:
You can file new issues by providing the above information [here](https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/new).
- version of Angular used
- 3rd-party libraries and their versions
- and most importantly - a use-case that fails
A minimal reproduce scenario using http://plnkr.co/ allows us to quickly confirm a bug (or point out coding problem) as well as confirm that we are fixing the right problem. If plunker is not a suitable way to demonstrate the problem (for example for issues related to our npm packaging), please create a standalone git repository demonstrating the problem.
We will be insisting on a minimal reproduce scenario in order to save maintainers time and ultimately be able to fix more bugs. Interestingly, from our experience users often find coding problems themselves while preparing a minimal plunk. We understand that sometimes it might be hard to extract essentials bits of code from a larger code-base but we really need to isolate the problem before we can fix it.
Unfortunately we are not able to investigate / fix bugs without a minimal reproduction, so if we don't hear back from you we are going to close an issue that don't have enough info to be reproduced.

* **compiler**
* **compiler-cli**
* **core**
* **forms**
* **http**

There is currently few exception to the "use package name" rule:
* **packaging**: used for changes that change the npm package layout in all of our packages, e.g. public path changes, package.json changes done to all packages, d.ts file/format changes, changes to bundles, etc.
* **changelog**: used for updating the release notes in CHANGELOG.md
* **aio**: used for docs-app (angular.io) related changes within the /aio directory of the repo
* none/empty string: useful for `style`, `test` and `refactor` changes that are done across all packages (e.g. `style: add missing semicolons`)

## Build commands
## Installing Bower Modules
To build Angular and prepare tests, run:
Now run `bower` to install additional dependencies:
```shell
$(npm bin)/gulp build
# Install other Angular project dependencies (bower.json)
bower install
```
Notes:
* Results are put in the `dist` folder.
* This will also run `pub get` for the subfolders in `modules` and run `dartanalyzer` for
every file that matches `<module>/src/<module>.dart`, e.g. `di/src/di.dart`.
## Windows only
You can selectively build either the JS or Dart versions as follows:
In order to create the right symlinks, run **as administrator**:
```shell
./scripts/windows/create-symlinks.sh
```
*`$(npm bin)/gulp build.js`
*`$(npm bin)/gulp build.dart`
Before submitting a PR, do not forget to remove them:
```shell
./scripts/windows/remove-symlinks.sh
```
To clean out the `dist` folder, run:
## Building
To build Angular run:
```shell
$(npm bin)/gulp clean
./build.sh
```
* Results are put in the dist folder.
## Running Tests Locally
### Full test suite
*`npm test`: full test suite for both JS and Dart versions of Angular. These are the same tests
that run on Travis.
You can selectively run either the JS or Dart versions as follows:
*`$(npm bin)/gulp test.all.js`
*`$(npm bin)/gulp test.all.dart`
### Unit tests
You can run just the unit tests as follows:
*`$(npm bin)/gulp test.unit.js`: JS tests in a browser; runs in **watch mode** (i.e.
watches the test files for changes and re-runs tests when files are updated).
* `$(npm bin)/gulp test.unit.cjs`: JS tests in NodeJS; runs in **watch mode**.
* `$(npm bin)/gulp test.unit.dart`: Dart tests in Dartium; runs in **watch mode**.
If you prefer running tests in "single-run" mode rather than watch mode use:
*`$(npm bin)/gulp test.unit.js/ci`
*`$(npm bin)/gulp test.unit.cjs/ci`
*`$(npm bin)/gulp test.unit.dart/ci`
The task updates the dist folder with transpiled code whenever a source or test file changes, and
Karma is run against the new output.
**Note**: If you want to only run a single test you can alter the test you wish to run by changing
`it` to `iit` or `describe` to `ddescribe`. This will only run that individual test and make it
much easier to debug. `xit` and `xdescribe` can also be useful to exclude a test and a group of
tests respectively.
**Note**: **watch mode** needs symlinks to work, so if you're using windows, ensure you have the
rights to built them in your operating system.
### Unit tests with Sauce Labs or Browser Stack
First, in a terminal, create a tunnel with [Sauce Connect](https://docs.saucelabs.com/reference/sauce-connect/) or [Browser Stack Local](https://www.browserstack.com/local-testing#command-line), and valid credentials.
Then, in another terminal:
- Define the credentials as environment variables, e.g.:
- Then run `gulp test.unit.js.(sauce|browserstack) --browsers=option1,option2,..,optionN`
The options are any mix of browsers and aliases which are defined in the [browser-providers.conf.js](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/browser-providers.conf.js) file.
They are case insensitive, and the `SL_` or `BS_` prefix must not be added for browsers.
Some examples of commands:
```
gulp test.unit.js.sauce --browsers=Safari8,ie11 //run in Sauce Labs with Safari 8 and IE11
gulp test.unit.js.browserstack --browsers=Safari,IE //run in Browser Stack with Safari 7, Safari 8, Safari 9, IE 9, IE 10 and IE 11
gulp test.unit.js.sauce --browsers=IOS,safari8,android5.1 //run in Sauce Labs with iOS 7, iOS 8, iOs 9, Safari 8 and Android 5.1
```
### E2E tests
1.`$(npm bin)/gulp build.js.cjs` (builds benchpress and tests into `dist/js/cjs` folder).
2.`$(npm bin)/gulp serve.js.prod serve.dart` (runs a local webserver).
You can serve the generated documentation to check how it would render on [angular.io](https://angular.io/):

- copy the generated documentation from your local angular repo at `angular/dist/angular.io/partials/api/angular2` to your local angular.io repo at `angular.io/public/docs/js/latest/api`,
- run `harp compile` at the root of the angular.io repo to check the generated documentation for errors,
- run `harp server` and open a browser at `http://localhost:9000/docs/js/latest/api/` to check the rendered documentation.

{@a overview}
## Overview
An Angular application consist largely of components and their HTML templates.
Before the browser can render the application,
the components and templates must be converted to executable JavaScript by the _Angular compiler_.
<ahref="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW9cJsvcsGo"target="_blank">Watch compiler author Tobias Bosch explain the Angular Compiler</a> at AngularConnect 2016.You can compile the app in the browser, at runtime, as the application loads, using the **_Just-in-Time_ (JIT) compiler**.
This is the standard development approach shown throughout the documentation.
It's great .. but it has shortcomings.
JIT compilation incurs a runtime performance penalty.
Views take longer to render because of the in-browser compilation step.
The application is bigger because it includes the Angular compiler
and a lot of library code that the application won't actually need.
Bigger apps take longer to transmit and are slower to load.
Compilation can uncover many component-template binding errors.
JIT compilation discovers them at runtime which is later than we'd like.
The **_Ahead-of-Time_ (AOT) compiler** can catch template errors early and improve performance
by compiling at build time as you'll learn in this chapter.
{@a aot-jit}
## _Ahead-of-time_ (AOT) vs _Just-in-time_ (JIT)
There is actually only one Angular compiler. The difference between AOT and JIT is a matter of timing and tooling.
With AOT, the compiler runs once at build time using one set of libraries;
With JIT it runs every time for every user at runtime using a different set of libraries.
### Why do AOT compilation?
*Faster rendering*
With AOT, the browser downloads a pre-compiled version of the application.
The browser loads executable code so it can render the application immediately, without waiting to compile the app first.
*Fewer asynchronous requests*
The compiler _inlines_ external html templates and css style sheets within the application JavaScript,
eliminating separate ajax requests for those source files.
*Smaller Angular framework download size*
There's no need to download the Angular compiler if the app is already compiled.
The compiler is roughly half of Angular itself, so omitting it dramatically reduces the application payload.
*Detect template errors earlier*
The AOT compiler detects and reports template binding errors during the build step
before users can see them.
*Better security*
AOT compiles HTML templates and components into JavaScript files long before they are served to the client.
With no templates to read and no risky client-side HTML or JavaScript evaluation,
there are fewer opportunities for injection attacks.
{@a compile}
## Compile with AOT
### Prepare for offline compilation
Take the <ahref='../guide/setup.html'>Setup</a> as a starting point.
A few minor changes to the lone `app.component` lead to these two class and html files:
Setting a global `module` is a temporary expedient.
### Compiling the application
Initiate AOT compilation from the command line using the previously installed `ngc` compiler by executing:
<code-examplelanguage="none"class="code-shell">
node_modules/.bin/ngc -p tsconfig-aot.json
</code-example>
Windows users should surround the `ngc` command in double quotes:
<code-exampleformat='.'>
"node_modules/.bin/ngc" -p tsconfig-aot.json
</code-example>
`ngc` expects the `-p` switch to point to a `tsconfig.json` file or a folder containing a `tsconfig.json` file.
After `ngc` completes, look for a collection of _NgFactory_ files in the `aot` folder (the folder specified as `genDir` in `tsconfig-aot.json`).
These factory files are essential to the compiled application.
Each component factory creates an instance of the component at runtime by combining the original class file
and a JavaScript representation of the component's template.
Note that the original component class is still referenced internally by the generated factory.
The curious can open the `aot/app.component.ngfactory.ts` to see the original Angular template syntax
in its intermediate, compiled-to-TypeScript form.
JIT compilation generates these same _NgFactories_ in memory where they are largely invisible.
AOT compilation reveals them as separate, physical files.
~~~ {.alert.is-important}
Do not edit the _NgFactories_! Re-compilation replaces these files and all edits will be lost.
~~~
{@a bootstrap}
## Bootstrap
The AOT path changes application bootstrapping.
Instead of bootstrapping `AppModule`, you bootstrap the application with the generated module factory, `AppModuleNgFactory`.
Make a copy of `main.ts` and name it `main-jit.ts`.
This is the JIT version; set it aside as you may need it [later](#run-jit "Running with JIT").
Open `main.ts` and convert it to AOT compilation.
Switch from the `platformBrowserDynamic.bootstrap` used in JIT compilation to
`platformBrowser().bootstrapModuleFactory` and pass in the AOT-generated `AppModuleNgFactory`.
Here is AOT bootstrap in `main.ts` next to the original JIT version:
<md-tab-group>
<md-tablabel="src/main.ts">
{@example 'cb-aot-compiler/ts/src/main.ts'}
</md-tab>
<md-tablabel="src/main-jit.ts">
{@example 'cb-aot-compiler/ts/src/main-jit.ts'}
</md-tab>
</md-tab-group>
Be sure to recompile with `ngc`!
{@a tree-shaking}
## Tree Shaking
AOT compilation sets the stage for further optimization through a process called _Tree Shaking_.
A Tree Shaker walks the dependency graph, top to bottom, and _shakes out_ unused code like
dead needles in a Christmas tree.
Tree Shaking can greatly reduce the downloaded size of the application
by removing unused portions of both source and library code.
In fact, most of the reduction in small apps comes from removing unreferenced Angular features.
For example, this demo application doesn't use anything from the `@angular/forms` library.
There is no reason to download Forms-related Angular code and tree shaking ensures that you don't.
Tree Shaking and AOT compilation are separate steps.
Tree Shaking can only target JavaScript code.
AOT compilation converts more of the application to JavaScript,
which in turn makes more of the application "Tree Shakable".
### Rollup
This cookbook illustrates a Tree Shaking utility called _Rollup_.
Rollup statically analyzes the application by following the trail of `import` and `export` statements.
It produces a final code _bundle_ that excludes code that is exported, but never imported.
Rollup can only Tree Shake `ES2015` modules which have `import` and `export` statements.
Recall that `tsconfig-aot.json` is configured to produce `ES2015` modules.
It's not important that the code itself be written with `ES2015` syntax such as `class` and `const`.
What matters is that the code uses ES `import` and `export` statements rather than `require` statements.Install the Rollup dependencies with this command:
github repository and prepared it for development as explained in the repo's README.md.
The _Tour of Heroes_ source code is in the `public/docs/_examples/toh-6/ts` folder.
~~~
Run the JIT-compiled app with `npm start` as for all other JIT examples.
Compiling with AOT presupposes certain supporting files, most of them discussed above.
<md-tab-group>
<md-tablabel="src/index.html">
{@example 'toh-6/ts/src/index.html'}
</md-tab>
<md-tablabel="copy-dist-files.js">
{@example 'toh-6/ts/copy-dist-files.js'}
</md-tab>
<md-tablabel="rollup-config.js">

</md-tab>
<md-tablabel="tsconfig-aot.json">
{@example 'toh-6/ts/tsconfig-aot.json'}
</md-tab>
</md-tab-group>
Extend the `scripts` section of the `package.json` with these npm scripts:Copy the AOT distribution files into the `/aot` folder with the node script:
<code-examplelanguage="none"class="code-shell">
node copy-dist-files
</code-example>
You won't do that again until there are updates to `zone.js` or the `core-js` shim for old browsers.Now AOT-compile the app and launch it with the `lite` server:
<code-examplelanguage="none"class="code-shell">
npm run build:aot && npm run serve:aot
</code-example>
### Inspect the Bundle
It's fascinating to see what the generated JavaScript bundle looks like after Rollup.
The code is minified, so you won't learn much from inspecting the bundle directly.

<aid="parent-to-child-on-changes"></a>## Intercept input property changes with *ngOnChanges*
Detect and act upon changes to input property values with the `ngOnChanges` method of the `OnChanges` lifecycle hook interface.
May prefer this approach to the property setter when watching multiple, interacting input properties.
Learn about `ngOnChanges` in the [LifeCycle Hooks](../guide/lifecycle-hooks.html) chapter.This `VersionChildComponent` detects changes to the `major` and `minor` input properties and composes a log message reporting these changes:
The first provider is the *de-sugared*, expanded form of the most typical case in which the
class to be created (`HeroService`) is also the provider's injection token.
We wrote it in this long form to de-mystify the preferred short form.
The second provider substitutes the `DateLoggerService` for the `LoggerService`.
The `LoggerService` is already registered at the `AppComponent` level.
When _this component_ requests the `LoggerService`, it receives the `DateLoggerService` instead.
This component and its tree of child components receive the `DateLoggerService` instance.
Components outside the tree continue to receive the original `LoggerService` instance.The `DateLoggerService` inherits from `LoggerService`; it appends the current date/time to each message:
`AdDirective` injects `ViewContainerRef` to gain access to the view container of the element that will become the host of the dynamically added component.
`AdBanner` takes an array of `AdItem` objects as input. `AdItem` objects specify the type of component to load and any data to bind to the component.
The ad components making up the ad campaign are returned from `AdService`.
Passing an array of components to `AdBannerComponent` allows for a dynamic list of ads without static elements in the template.
`AdBannerComponent` cycles through the array of `AdItems` and loads the corresponding components on an interval. Every 3 seconds a new component is loaded.
`ComponentFactoryResolver` is used to resolve a `ComponentFactory` for each specific component. The component factory is need to create an instance of the component.
`ComponentFactories` are generated by the Angular compiler.
Generally the compiler will generate a component factory for any component referenced in a template.
With dynamically loaded components there are no selector references in the templates since components are loaded at runtime. In order to ensure that the compiler will still generate a factory, dynamically loaded components have to be added to their `NgModule`'s `entryComponents` array.
Components are added to the template by calling `createComponent` on the `ViewContainerRef` reference.
`createComponent` returns a reference to the loaded component. The component reference can be used to pass input data or call methods to interact with the component.
In the Ad banner, all components implement a common `AdComponent` interface to standardize the api for passing data to the components.
Two sample components and the `AdComponent` interface are shown below:
We can't always justify the cost and time to build handcrafted forms,
especially if we'll need a great number of them, they're similar to each other, and they change frequently
to meet rapidly changing business and regulatory requirements.
It may be more economical to create the forms dynamically, based on metadata that describe the business object model.
In this cookbook we show how to use `formGroup` to dynamically render a simple form with different control types and validation.
It's a primitive start.
It might evolve to support a much richer variety of questions, more graceful rendering, and superior user experience.
All such greatness has humble beginnings.
In our example we use a dynamic form to build an online application experience for heroes seeking employment.
The agency is constantly tinkering with the application process.
We can create the forms on the fly *without changing our application code*.

**See the <live-example name="cb-dynamic-form"></live-example>**.
<aid="bootstrap"></a>## Bootstrap
We start by creating an `NgModule` called `AppModule`.
In our example we will be using Reactive Forms.
Reactive Forms belongs to a different `NgModule` called `ReactiveFormsModule`, so in order to access any Reactive Forms directives, we have to import `ReactiveFormsModule` from the `@angular/forms` library.
Notice this component can present any type of question in our model.
We only have two types of questions at this point but we can imagine many more.
The `ngSwitch` determines which type of question to display.
In both components we're relying on Angular's **formGroup** to connect the template HTML to the
underlying control objects, populated from the question model with display and validation rules.
`formControlName` and `formGroup` are directives defined in `ReactiveFormsModule`. Our templates can can access these directives directly since we imported `ReactiveFormsModule` from `AppModule`.
<aid="questionnaire-metadata"></a>## Questionnaire data`DynamicFormComponent` expects the list of questions in the form of an array bound to `@Input() questions`.
The set of questions we have defined for the job application is returned from the `QuestionService`.
In a real app we'd retrieve these questions from storage.
The key point is that we control the hero job application questions entirely through the objects returned from `QuestionService`.
Questionnaire maintenance is a simple matter of adding, updating, and removing objects from the `questions` array.
- we call a `buildForm` method in the `ngOnInit` [lifecycle hook method](../guide/lifecycle-hooks.html#hooks-overview)
because that's when we'll have the hero data. We'll call it again in the `addHero` method.
A real app would retrieve the hero asynchronously from a data service, a task best performed in the `ngOnInit` hook.- the `buildForm` method uses the `FormBuilder` (`fb`) to declare the form control model.
Then it attaches the same `onValueChanged` handler (there's a one line difference)
to the form's `valueChanged` event and calls it immediately
to set error messages for the new control model.
#### _FormBuilder_ declaration
The `FormBuilder` declaration object specifies the three controls of the sample's hero form.
Each control spec is a control name with an array value.
The first array element is the current value of the corresponding hero field.
The (optional) second value is a validator function or an array of validator functions.
Most of the validator functions are stock validators provided by Angular as static methods of the `Validators` class.
Angular has stock validators that correspond to the standard HTML validation attributes.
The `forbiddenNames` validator on the `"name"` control is a custom validator,
discussed in a separate [section below](#custom-validation).
Learn more about `FormBuilder` in a _forthcoming_ chapter on reactive forms.
#### Committing hero value changes
In two-way data binding, the user's changes flow automatically from the controls back to the data model properties.
Reactive forms do not use data binding to update data model properties.
The developer decides _when and how_ to update the data model from control values.
This sample updates the model twice:
1. when the user submits the form
1. when the user chooses to add a new hero
The `onSubmit` method simply replaces the `hero` object with the combined values of the form:
Consider adding a convenience shortcut to the `scripts` section of the `package.json`
to make the command easier to remember and run:
<code-exampleformat='.'language='sh'>
"scripts": {
"i18n": "ng-xi18n",
...
}
</code-example>
Now you can issue command variations such as these:
<code-examplelanguage="sh"class="code-shell">
npm run i18n
npm run i18n -- -p path/to/tsconfig.json
npm run i18n -- --i18nFormat=xmb -p path/to/tsconfig.json
</code-example>
Note the `--` flag before the options.
It tells _npm_ to pass every flag thereafter to `ng-xi18n`.
{@a translate}
## Translate text messages
The `ng-xi18n` command generates a translation source file
in the project root folder named `messages.xlf`.
The next step is to translate the English language template
text into the specific language translation
files. The cookbook sample creates a Spanish translation file.
{@a localization-folder}
### Create a localization folder
You will probably translate into more than one other language so it's a good idea
for the project structure to reflect your entire internationalization effort.
One approach is to dedicate a folder to localization and store related assets
(for example, internationalization files) there.
Localization and internationalization are
<ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalization_and_localization"target="_blank">different but closely related terms</a>.This cookbook follows that suggestion. It has a `locale` folder under the `src/`.
Assets within the folder carry a filename extension that matches a language-culture code from a
Setting the document or window title using the Title service.

</td>
</tr>
</table>
## The problem with *<title>*
The obvious approach is to bind a property of the component to the HTML `<title>` like this:
<code-exampleformat=''>
<title>{{This_Does_Not_Work}}</title>
</code-example>
Sorry but that won't work.
The root component of our application is an element contained within the `<body>` tag.
The HTML `<title>` is in the document `<head>`, outside the body, making it inaccessible to Angular data binding.
We could grab the browser `document` object and set the title manually.
That's dirty and undermines our chances of running the app outside of a browser someday.
Running your app outside a browser means that you can take advantage of server-side
pre-rendering for near-instant first app render times and for SEO. It means you could run from
inside a Web Worker to improve your app's responsiveness by using multiple threads. And it
means that you could run your app inside Electron.js or Windows Universal to deliver it to the desktop.
## Use the *Title* service
Fortunately, Angular bridges the gap by providing a `Title` service as part of the *Browser platform*.
The [Title](../api/platform-browser/index/Title-class.html) service is a simple class that provides an API
for getting and setting the current HTML document title:
*`getTitle() : string`— Gets the title of the current HTML document.
*`setTitle( newTitle : string )`— Sets the title of the current HTML document.
Let's inject the `Title` service into the root `AppComponent` and expose a bindable `setTitle` method that calls it:
Convert Angular TypeScript examples into ES6 and ES5 JavaScript
@description
Anything you can do with Angular in _TypeScript_, you can also do
in JavaScript. Translating from one language to the other is mostly a
matter of changing the way you organize your code and access Angular APIs.
_TypeScript_ is a popular language option for Angular development.
Most code examples on the Internet as well as on this site are written in _TypeScript_.
This cookbook contains recipes for translating _TypeScript_
code examples to _ES6_ and to _ES5_ so that JavaScript developers
can read and write Angular apps in their preferred dialect.

This cookbook describes the steps required to set up and use the
Angular QuickStart files in **Visual Studio 2015 within an ASP.NET 4.x project**.
There is no *live example* for this cookbook because it describes Visual Studio, not the application.
<aid="asp-net-4"></a>## ASP.NET 4.x Project
This cookbook explains how to set up the QuickStart files with an **ASP.NET 4.x project** in
Visual Studio 2015.
If you prefer a `File | New Project` experience and are using **ASP.NET Core**,
then consider the _experimental_

Note that the resulting code does not map to the docs. Adjust accordingly.
The steps are as follows:
- [Prerequisite](#prereq1): Install Node.js

- [Prerequisite](#prereq3): Configure External Web tools
- [Prerequisite](#prereq4): Install TypeScript 2 for Visual Studio 2015

- [Step 5](#build-and-run): Build and run the app
<h2id='prereq1'>
Prerequisite: Node.js
</h2>
Install **[Node.js® and npm](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)**
if they are not already on your machine.
**Verify that you are running node version `4.6.x` or greater, and npm `3.x.x` or greater**
by running `node -v` and `npm -v` in a terminal/console window.
Older versions produce errors.
<h2id='prereq2'>
Prerequisite: Visual Studio 2015 Update 3
</h2>
The minimum requirement for developing Angular applications with Visual Studio is Update 3.
Earlier versions do not follow the best practices for developing applications with TypeScript.
To view your version of Visual Studio 2015, go to `Help | About Visual Studio`.
If you don't have it, install **[Visual Studio 2015 Update 3](https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/vs2015-update3-vs)**.
Or use `Tools | Extensions and Updates` to update to Update 3 directly from Visual Studio 2015.
<h2id='prereq3'>
Prerequisite: Configure External Web tools
</h2>
Configure Visual Studio to use the global external web tools instead of the tools that ship with Visual Studio:
* Open the **Options** dialog with `Tools` | `Options`
* In the tree on the left, select `Projects and Solutions` | `External Web Tools`.
* On the right, move the `$(PATH)` entry above the `$(DevEnvDir`) entries. This tells Visual Studio to
use the external tools (such as npm) found in the global path before using its own version of the external tools.
* Click OK to close the dialog.
* Restart Visual Studio for this change to take effect.
Visual Studio will now look first for external tools in the current workspace and
if not found then look in the global path and if it is not found there, Visual Studio
will use its own versions of the tools.
<h2id='prereq4'>
Prerequisite: Install TypeScript 2 for Visual Studio 2015
</h2>
While Visual Studio Update 3 ships with TypeScript support out of the box, it currently doesn’t ship with TypeScript 2,
which you need to develop Angular applications.
To install TypeScript 2:
* Download and install **[TypeScript 2.0 for Visual Studio 2015](http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/D/8/6D8381B0-03C1-4BD2-AE65-30FF0A4C62DA/TS2.0.3-TS-release20-nightly-20160921.1/TypeScript_Dev14Full.exe)**
* OR install it with npm: `npm install -g typescript@2.0`.
You can find out more about TypeScript 2 support in Visual studio **[here](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/typescript/2016/09/22/announcing-typescript-2-0/)**
At this point, Visual Studio is ready. It’s a good idea to close Visual Studio and
restart it to make sure everything is clean.
<h2id='download'>
Step 1: Download the QuickStart files
</h2>
[Download the QuickStart source](https://github.com/angular/quickstart)
from github. If you downloaded as a zip file, extract the files.
<h2id='create-project'>
Step 2: Create the Visual Studio ASP.NET project
</h2>
Create the ASP.NET 4.x project in the usual way as follows:
* In Visual Studio, select `File` | `New` | `Project` from the menu.
* In the template tree, select `Templates` | `Visual C#` (or `Visual Basic`) | `Web`.
* Select the `ASP.NET Web Application` template, give the project a name, and click OK.
* Select the desired ASP.NET 4.5.2 template and click OK.
In this cookbook we'll select the `Empty` template with no added folders,
no authentication and no hosting. Pick the template and options appropriate for your project.
<h2id='copy'>
Step 3: Copy the QuickStart files into the ASP.NET project folder
</h2>
Copy the QuickStart files we downloaded from github into the folder containing the `.csproj` file.
Include the files in the Visual Studio project as follows:
* Click the `Show All Files` button in Solution Explorer to reveal all of the hidden files in the project.
* Right-click on each folder/file to be included in the project and select `Include in Project`.
Minimally, include the following folder/files:
* app folder (answer *No* if asked to search for TypeScript Typings)
* styles.css
* index.html
* package.json
* tsconfig.json
<h2id='restore'>
Step 4: Restore the required packages
</h2>
Restore the packages required for an Angular application as follows:
* Right-click on the `package.json` file in Solution Explorer and select `Restore Packages`.
<br>This uses `npm` to install all of the packages defined in the `package.json` file.
It may take some time.
* If desired, open the Output window (`View` | `Output`) to watch the npm commands execute.
* Ignore the warnings.
* When the restore is finished, a message should say: `npm command completed with exit code 0`.
* Click the `Refresh` icon in Solution Explorer.
* **Do not** include the `node_modules` folder in the project. Let it be a hidden project folder.
<h2id='build-and-run'>
Step 5: Build and run the app
</h2>
First, ensure that `index.html` is set as the start page.
Right-click `index.html` in Solution Explorer and select option `Set As Start Page`.
Build and launch the app with debugger by clicking the **Run** button or press `F5`.
It's faster to run without the debugger by pressing `Ctrl-F5`.The default browser opens and displays the QuickStart sample application.
Try editing any of the project files. *Save* and refresh the browser to
see the changes.
<h2id='routing'>
Note on Routing Applications
</h2>
If this application used the Angular router, a browser refresh could return a *404 - Page Not Found*.
Look at the address bar. Does it contain a navigation url (a "deep link") ... any path other than `/` or `/index.html`?
You'll have to configure the server to return `index.html` for these requests.
Until you do, remove the navigation path and refresh again.
