Wording has been changed in two of the examples to read naturally.
For example:
From: 'Do not use controllers for to run stateless or stateful code
shared across controllers'
To: 'Do not use controllers for sharing stateless or stateful code
across controllers'
Closes#3454
When using $resource you must setup your actions carefully based on what the server returns.
If the server responds to a request with an array then you must configure the action with
`isArray:true` and vice versa. The built-in `get` action defaults to `isArray:false` and the
`query` action defaults to `isArray:true`, which is must be changed if the server does not do this.
Before the error message was an exception inside angular.copy, which didn't explain what the
real problem was. Rather than changing the way that angular.copy works, this change ensures that
a better error message is provided to the programmer if they do not set up their resource actions
correctly.
Closes#2255, #1044
The current logo looks awful on high-density displays. SVG is a
better choice because it can scale to any resolution without
increasing file size.
Amending #2775 to add support for IE 8 by falling back to existing PNG
with img.onerror
Using relative URLs as directed by @btford and @petebacondarwin.
(commit by Brenton Simpson - @appsforartists)
Closes#2874
Support controller: 'MyController as my' syntax for directives which publishes
the controller instance to the directive scope.
Support controllerAs syntax to define an alias to the controller within the
directive scope.
Changes:
- Fix our old code to use bower_components/ as the install dir
- Fix the Bootstrap asset to use github.com/twbs/bootstrap (it moved)
- Fail the build on Bower failure. Bower should not fail silently.
BREAKING CHANGE: previously ngInclude only updated its content, after this change
ngInclude will recreate itself every time a new content is included. This ensures
that a single rootElement for all the included contents always exists, which makes
definition of css styles for animations much easier.
- ngAnimate directive is gone and was replaced with class based animations/transitions
- support for triggering animations on css class additions and removals
- done callback was added to all animation apis
- $animation and $animator where merged into a single $animate service with api:
- $animate.enter(element, parent, after, done);
- $animate.leave(element, done);
- $animate.move(element, parent, after, done);
- $animate.addClass(element, className, done);
- $animate.removeClass(element, className, done);
BREAKING CHANGE: too many things changed, we'll write up a separate doc with migration instructions
$sce is a service that provides Strict Contextual Escaping services to AngularJS.
Strict Contextual Escaping
--------------------------
Strict Contextual Escaping (SCE) is a mode in which AngularJS requires
bindings in certain contexts to result in a value that is marked as safe
to use for that context One example of such a context is binding
arbitrary html controlled by the user via ng-bind-html-unsafe. We
refer to these contexts as privileged or SCE contexts.
As of version 1.2, Angular ships with SCE enabled by default.
Note: When enabled (the default), IE8 in quirks mode is not supported.
In this mode, IE8 allows one to execute arbitrary javascript by the use
of the expression() syntax. Refer
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/10/16/ending-expressions.aspx
to learn more about them. You can ensure your document is in standards
mode and not quirks mode by adding <!doctype html> to the top of your
HTML document.
SCE assists in writing code in way that (a) is secure by default and (b)
makes auditing for security vulnerabilities such as XSS, clickjacking,
etc. a lot easier.
Here's an example of a binding in a privileged context:
<input ng-model="userHtml">
<div ng-bind-html-unsafe="{{userHtml}}">
Notice that ng-bind-html-unsafe is bound to {{userHtml}} controlled by
the user. With SCE disabled, this application allows the user to render
arbitrary HTML into the DIV. In a more realistic example, one may be
rendering user comments, blog articles, etc. via bindings. (HTML is
just one example of a context where rendering user controlled input
creates security vulnerabilities.)
For the case of HTML, you might use a library, either on the client side, or on the server side,
to sanitize unsafe HTML before binding to the value and rendering it in the document.
How would you ensure that every place that used these types of bindings was bound to a value that
was sanitized by your library (or returned as safe for rendering by your server?) How can you
ensure that you didn't accidentally delete the line that sanitized the value, or renamed some
properties/fields and forgot to update the binding to the sanitized value?
To be secure by default, you want to ensure that any such bindings are disallowed unless you can
determine that something explicitly says it's safe to use a value for binding in that
context. You can then audit your code (a simple grep would do) to ensure that this is only done
for those values that you can easily tell are safe - because they were received from your server,
sanitized by your library, etc. You can organize your codebase to help with this - perhaps
allowing only the files in a specific directory to do this. Ensuring that the internal API
exposed by that code doesn't markup arbitrary values as safe then becomes a more manageable task.
In the case of AngularJS' SCE service, one uses $sce.trustAs (and
shorthand methods such as $sce.trustAsHtml, etc.) to obtain values that
will be accepted by SCE / privileged contexts.
In privileged contexts, directives and code will bind to the result of
$sce.getTrusted(context, value) rather than to the value directly.
Directives use $sce.parseAs rather than $parse to watch attribute
bindings, which performs the $sce.getTrusted behind the scenes on
non-constant literals.
As an example, ngBindHtmlUnsafe uses $sce.parseAsHtml(binding
expression). Here's the actual code (slightly simplified):
var ngBindHtmlUnsafeDirective = ['$sce', function($sce) {
return function(scope, element, attr) {
scope.$watch($sce.parseAsHtml(attr.ngBindHtmlUnsafe), function(value) {
element.html(value || '');
});
};
}];
Impact on loading templates
---------------------------
This applies both to the ng-include directive as well as templateUrl's
specified by directives.
By default, Angular only loads templates from the same domain and
protocol as the application document. This is done by calling
$sce.getTrustedResourceUrl on the template URL. To load templates from
other domains and/or protocols, you may either either whitelist them or
wrap it into a trusted value.
*Please note*:
The browser's Same Origin Policy and Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
(CORS) policy apply in addition to this and may further restrict whether
the template is successfully loaded. This means that without the right
CORS policy, loading templates from a different domain won't work on all
browsers. Also, loading templates from file:// URL does not work on
some browsers.
This feels like too much overhead for the developer?
----------------------------------------------------
It's important to remember that SCE only applies to interpolation expressions.
If your expressions are constant literals, they're automatically trusted
and you don't need to call $sce.trustAs on them.
e.g. <div ng-html-bind-unsafe="'<b>implicitly trusted</b>'"></div> just works.
Additionally, a[href] and img[src] automatically sanitize their URLs and
do not pass them through $sce.getTrusted. SCE doesn't play a role here.
The included $sceDelegate comes with sane defaults to allow you to load
templates in ng-include from your application's domain without having to
even know about SCE. It blocks loading templates from other domains or
loading templates over http from an https served document. You can
change these by setting your own custom whitelists and blacklists for
matching such URLs.
This significantly reduces the overhead. It is far easier to pay the
small overhead and have an application that's secure and can be audited
to verify that with much more ease than bolting security onto an
application later.
- corrected terminology about how directives use `require`
- added more variations to the DirectiveDefinitionObject
- removed some slightly superfluous text
docs(directive): Minor correction to example to avoid bad practice
Anchor tags should use `ng-href` instead of `href` for interpolation.
docs(directive): Supplementing DDO description
DDO = Directive Definition Object

ngScenario expects an ngApp directive to be used, and doesn't work for
manually bootstrapped apps. The failure mode is to hang on navigation.
Trying to make this wont-fix bug less obscure by documenting it.
Eventually Protractor will replace ngScenario and fix this.
