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
Changed the isolate scope binding options to:
- @attr - attribute binding (including interpolation)
- =model - by-directional model binding
- &expr - expression execution binding
This change simplifies the terminology as well as
number of choices available to the developer. It
also supports local name aliasing from the parent.
BREAKING CHANGE: isolate scope bindings definition has changed and
the inject option for the directive controller injection was removed.
To migrate the code follow the example below:
Before:
scope: {
myAttr: 'attribute',
myBind: 'bind',
myExpression: 'expression',
myEval: 'evaluate',
myAccessor: 'accessor'
}
After:
scope: {
myAttr: '@',
myBind: '@',
myExpression: '&',
// myEval - usually not useful, but in cases where the expression is assignable, you can use '='
myAccessor: '=' // in directive's template change myAccessor() to myAccessor
}
The removed `inject` wasn't generaly useful for directives so there should be no code using it.
previously we were doing all kinds of checks to see if we should rewrite the url or not and we
were missing many scenarios. not any more.
with this change, we rewrite the url unless:
- the href is not set
- link has target attribute
- the absolute url of the link doesn't match the absolute prefix for all urls in our app
This also means that ng-ext-link attribute which we previously used to distinguish external
links from app links is not necessary any more. apps can just set target=_self to prevent
rewriting.
BREAKING CHANGE: ng-ext-link directive was removed because it's unnecessary
apps that relied on ng-ext-link should simply replace it with target=_self
It turns out that listening only on "blur" event is not sufficient in many scenarios,
especially when you use form validation you always had to use ngModelnstant
e.g. if you want to disable a button based on valid/invalid form.
The feedback we got from our apps as well as external apps is that the
ngModelInstant should be the default.
In the future we might provide alternative ways of suppressing updates
on each key stroke, but it's not going to be the default behavior.
Apps already using the ngModelInstant can safely remove it from their
templates. Input fields without ngModelInstant directive will start propagating
the input changes into the model on each key stroke.
this is to enable nicer tests:
describe('fooSvc', function() {
var fooSvc;
beforeEach(inject(function(_fooSvc_) {
fooSvc = _fooSvc_;
}));
it('should do this thing', function() {
//test fooSvc
});
});
- remove $formFactory completely
- remove parallel scope hierarchy (forms, widgets)
- use new compiler features (widgets, forms are controllers)
- any directive can add formatter/parser (validators, convertors)
Breaks no custom input types
Breaks removed integer input type
Breaks remove list input type (ng-list directive instead)
Breaks inputs bind only blur event by default (added ng:bind-change directive)
As scopes are injected into controllers now, you have the reference anyway, so having scope as first argument makes no sense…
Breaks $watcher gets arguments in different order (newValue, oldValue, scope)
Controller is standalone object, created using "new" operator, not messed up with scope anymore.
Instead, related scope is injected as $scope.
See design proposal: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1SsgVj17ec6tnZEX3ugsvg0rVVR11wTso5Md-RdEmC0kCloses#321Closes#425
Breaks controller methods are not exported to scope automatically
Breaks Scope#$new() does not take controller as argument anymore
The last script element in the dom is always us if the script that
contains angular is loaded synchronously.
For async loading manual bootstrap needs to be performed.
Close#621
Change introduced by me in 8611ebe6 results in considerable inefficiencies when the compiler
and linker is used from within a widget, in which case, we call $digest unnecessary since it
will be called by the $apply which called the directive/widget in the first place.
There are only two places when the extra $digest call can be useful - when manually bootstrapping
the app or in tests. However even in tests this behavior can result in unwanted results (especially
when ng:controller is involved). So it is better to leave it for the developer to call $digest
when it is really needed.
- Speed improvements (about 4x on flush phase)
- Memory improvements (uses no function closures)
- Break $eval into $apply, $dispatch, $flush
- Introduced $watch and $observe
Breaks angular.equals() use === instead of ==
Breaks angular.scope() does not take parent as first argument
Breaks scope.$watch() takes scope as first argument
Breaks scope.$set(), scope.$get are removed
Breaks scope.$config is removed
Breaks $route.onChange callback has not "this" bounded
