Before, there we multiple overview docs:
- guide/overview
- guide/introduction
- guide/dev_guide.mvc
- guide/dev_guide.mvc.understanding_model
- guide/dev_guide.mvc.understanding_view
- guide/concepts
Now we have:
- guide/introduction: High level description of Angular with the key benefits but without code or any concrete concepts
- guide/concepts: explains all important concepts with a simple example and contains deep links to the other parts of the guide.
All the old information was moved into existing documents or deleted when they were duplicates.
JQLite.ready() used for automatic bootstrapping (when jQuery is not present)
now checks if document already is ready when first called. This simplifies
bootstrapping when the angular script is loaded asynchronously.
However if other scripts with angular app code are being loaded as well
it is developers responsibility to ensure that these scripts are loaded
after angular-loader.js is evaluated and before angular.js script is
evaluated.
we now have two types of namespaces:
- true namespace: angular.* - used for all global apis
- virtual namespace: ng.*, ngMock.*, ... - used for all DI modules
the virual namespaces have services under the second namespace level (e.g. ng.)
and filters and directives prefixed with filter: and directive: respectively
(e.g. ng.filter:orderBy, ng.directive:ngRepeat)
this simplifies urls and makes them a lot shorter while still avoiding name collisions
