Short summary: if you use local node server everything should work as before,
if you use GAE, everything should work now as well, but we pull assets from CDN.
- GAE doesn't support ':' in filenames, so I had to replace it with '_'
but only in the filename, all servers were reconfigured to rewrite the
urls from : to _ when doing file lookup
- We now pull angular assets from google CDN when deployed on GAE (locally
or in production). When running on a non GAE server we pull assets from
../ directory as before
- Since only certain versions of Angular are available on CDN and we want
to be able to autodeploy docs, I had to pin down the Angular files
to a "stable" version when running on GAE
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
Create build for other modules as well (ngResource, ngCookies):
- wrap into a function
- add license
- add version
Breaks `$sanitize` service, `ngBindHtml` directive and `linky` filter were moved to the `ngSanitize` module. Apps that depend on any of these will need to load `angular-sanitize.js` and include `ngSanitize` in their dependency list: `var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngSanitize']);`
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.
So that we can have non string values, e.g. ng-value="true" for radio inputs
Breaks boolean attrs are evaluated rather than interpolated
To migrate your code, change: <input ng-disabled="{{someBooleanVariable}}">
to: <input ng-disabled="someBooleanVariabla">
Affected directives:
* ng-multiple
* ng-selected
* ng-checked
* ng-disabled
* ng-readonly
* ng-required
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
});
});
- $locationProvider.html5Mode
- $locationProvider.hashPrefix
Docs example is basically a different application on the same page, but we don't want to instantiate multiple instances of $browser or $location service, so we are overriding these providers to return the instances from parent app.
Overriding the service with $provide.value caused a provider to be auto-generated without the necessary hashPrefix and html5Mode apis.
- 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.
using appcache while running e2e tests was causing the following
problems:
- Safari would occasionally reload the app (as a result of the appcache
refresh) during the angular.validator.asychronous test, which would
result in test failure and false positivy.
- Firefox6 would run the tests very slowly, disabling the cache resolved
the latency issues
- Sometimes tests would run with stale code pulled from cache, which
would result in flaky tests.
- Configure our docs app to use new $location with html5 history api!
- Update simple node web server to serve index.html for all links
(rewritting).
- Update .htaccess file to serve index.html for all links (rewritting).
- At runtime determine the base href path and attach it to the DOM. We
needed the absolute URL to get all browsers to work well.
- Because of the above, we also need to dynamically determine all needed
js/css resources and add them to the DOM. This was needed because FF6
would eagerly fetch resources with wrong URL since the base element is
added to the dom at runtime.
- All content html files were moved to the partials directory, because
with the new html5 urls it was impossible to tell if request for
http://domain/api/angular.filter.html was an html5 url for the html
filter doc page, or an xhr/appcache request for the content html file
for the html filter.

Because of changes in jQuery, we need to use element().prop() instead of element().attr() to retrieve className and other element properties.
Additionally all attribute selectors (e.g. input[name=value]) must have value quoted if it contains dots (".").
IE's window.eval doesn't execute in the global context, so we have to
use window.execScript instead which works like window.eval on normal
browsers. However execScript throws an exception when an empty string is
passed in, so I created a workaround with a workaround.
- buzz api keeps on throttling our requests which makes our build fail
so I'm disabling the buzz demo e2e test
- the $xhr service jsonp test was modified to use jsonp on angularjs.org
instead of buzz api for the same reason as mentioned above
- index.html has manifest file and angular.min.js
- index-jq.html has manifest file, angular.min.js and jquery.min.js
- index-debug.html has angular.js
- index-jq-debug.html has angular.js and jquery.min.js
Change doc_widget.js to:
- render "edit in jsfiddle" button next to all examples
- make opt out certain examples by adding jsfiddle="false" attribute to
doc:source element
it turns out that even with our tricks, jqLite#show is not usable in
practice and definitely not on par with jQuery. so rather than
introducing half-baked apis which introduce issues, I'm removing them.
I also removed show/hide uses from docs, since they are not needed.
Breaks jqLite.hide/jqLite.show which are no longer available.
