angular

4.0.0-alpha+2

New features

• Added ComponentLoader, a high-level imperative API for creating components
  at runtime. It uses internal code-paths that already existed, and is much
  more future proof. ComponentLoader is usable within a @Directive(), an
  @Component(), and injectable services.

// An `ExampleComponent`s generated code, including a `ComponentFactory`.
import 'example.template.dart' as ng;

class AdBannerComponent implements AfterViewInit {
  final ComponentLoader _loader;

  AdBannerComponent(this._loader);

  @override
  ngAfterViewInit() {
    final component = _loader.loadDetached(ng.ExampleComponentNgFactory);
    // Do something with this reference.
  }
}

• You can now directly inject dart:html's Element or HtmlElement instead
  of ElementRef, which is "soft deprecated" (will be deprecated and removed
  in a future release).

• findContainer has now been exposed from NgForm allowing easier creation of
  custom form implementations.

• setUpControl has been exposed from the forms API to allow forms to setup
  their controls easier.

Bug Fixes

• The transformer now fails if any unsupported arguments are passed in.

Performance

• Directives now generate their own change detector class (behind the scenes)
  instead of the code being re-created into every component that uses a
  directive.

Breaking changes

• The router package is now being published separate as package:angular_router
  (not through package:angular/router.dart). In the near future it will be
  updated to a more Dart idiomatic "2.0" router, but for now it is an exact
  replica of the previous router.

• Removed @{Component|Directive}#queries. This is replable using the same
  member-level annotation (i.e. @{Content|View}Child{ren}).

• DynamicComponentLoader was renamed SlowComponentLoader to encourage users
  to prefer ComponentLoader. Additionally, arguments projectableNodes: and
  onDestroy: callbacks were removed - they were mostly unused, and confusing
  since they were undocumented.

• Removed angular/platform/browser_static.dart; replace imports with
  angular/angular.dart.

• Removed angular/platform/common_dom.dart; replace imports with
  angular/angular.dart.

• Removed angular/testing.dart; Use angular_test package instead.

• Removed angular/platform/testing.dart.

• Removed platform/testing/browser_static.dart.

• Removed MockNgZone.

• Removed ViewEncapsulation.native, which is no longer supported.

• Renamed FORM_DIRECTIVES to formDirectives.
