angular

6.0.0-alpha+1

New features

• Added ComponentRef.update(). This method should be used to apply changes to a component and then trigger change detection. Before this, change detection and lifecycles would not always follow Angular's specifications when imperatively loading a component, especialy for those using the OnPush change detection strategy.

  final componentRef = componentFactory();
  componentRef.update((component) {
    component.input = newValue;
  });
  

• Added @changeDetectionLink to package:angular/experimental.dart.

  This annotation allows a component that imperatively loads another component from a user-provided factory to adopt the OnPush change detection strategy, without dictacting the change detection strategy of the component created from the factory. This allows such a component to be used in both Default and OnPush apps.

  An annotated component will serve as a link between an ancestor and an imperatively loaded descendant that both use the Default change detection strategy. This link is used to change detect the descendant anytime the ancestor is change detected, thus honoring its Default change detection contract. Without this annotation, the descendant would be skipped anytime the annotated OnPush component had not been marked to be checked.

  For more details, see this annotation's documentation.

angular_test

2.4.0

New Features

• Added an optional named parameter, maxIterations, to FakeTimeNgZoneStabilizer's constructor. If not specified 10 maximum loops are attempted to elapse pending timers. In advanced use cases, a test may configure a higher threshold:

  NgZoneStabilizer allow100InsteadOf10() {
    return FakeTimeNgZoneStabilizer(timerZone, ngZone, maxIterations: 100);
  }
  

Bug Fixes

• NgTestFixture.update() now delegates to ComponentRef.update(), which automatically calls markForCheck(). Previously, an OnPush component under test might not have been properly updated.

angular_forms

2.1.4

• Maintenance release to support Angular 6.0-alpha+1.

angular_router

2.0.0-alpha+24

• Maintenance release to support Angular 6.0-alpha+1.

angular_compiler

0.4.5

• The InjectorReader now fails with an explicit error if types are used inside a ValueProvider object. Previously, using types in ValueProviders would crash the AngularDart compiler.

  Instead of a ValueProvider, use a FactoryProvider for complicated objects, such as those that contain types.

• Removed the i18n compiler flag that was previously used to opt-in to internationalization in templates before the feature had stabilized.

• Added support for a command-line flag, allowed_typedefs_as_di_token. This is intended to be used as a transitional flag to ban using a typedef as a DI token (which has non-predictable properties in Dart 2).

• Added $ChangeDetectionLink, a type checker for matching the experimental @changeDetectionLink annotation.

angular_ast

0.5.11

• Maintenance release to support Dart 2.5 dev.

angular_analyzer_plugin

1.0.0-alpha+1

• Maintenance release to support Angular 6.0-alpha+1.
