previously the compile/link fns executed in this order controlled via priority:
- CompilePriorityHigh, CompilePriorityMedium, CompilePriorityLow
- PreLinkPriorityHigh, PreLinkPriorityMedium, PreLinkPriorityLow
- link children
- PostLinkPriorityHigh, PostLinkPriorityMedium, PostLinkPriorityLow
This was changed to:
- CompilePriorityHigh, CompilePriorityMedium, CompilePriorityLow
- PreLinkPriorityHigh, PreLinkPriorityMedium, PreLinkPriorityLow
- link children
- PostLinkPriorityLow, PostLinkPriorityMedium , PostLinkPriorityHigh
Using this order the child transclusion directive that gets replaced
onto the current element get executed correctly (see issue #3558),
and more generally, the order of execution of post linking function
makes more sense. The incorrect order was an oversight that has
gone unnoticed for many suns and moons.
(FYI: postLink functions are the default linking functions)
BREAKING CHANGE: the order of postLink fn is now mirror opposite of
the order in which corresponding preLinking and compile functions
execute.
Very few directives in practice rely on order of postLinking function
(unlike on the order of compile functions), so in the rare case
of this change affecting an existing directive, it might be necessary
to convert it to a preLinking function or give it negative priority
(look at the diff of this commit to see how an internal attribute
interpolation directive was adjusted).
Closes#3558
Previously we would stop the compilation for both regular and element
transclusion directives which was wrong. Only element transclusion directives
should be terminal.
The current comment of Attributes.$observe doesn't state correctly the behavior when the attribute contains no interpolation. Specifically, it states that the observer function will never be invoked if the attribute contains no interpolation. However, the actual behavior in this case is that the observer will be invoked once during the next digest loop.
Fix wrong behaviour that didn't allow 'data-on' and 'on' element attributes
to be interpolated by $compile. The regex now accepts any string beginning
with 'on' and with at least one more English letter.
How did compiling a templateUrl (async) directive with `replace:true` work before this commit?
1/ apply all directives with higher priority than the templateUrl directive
2/ partially apply the templateUrl directive (create `beforeTemplateNodeLinkFn`)
3/ fetch the template
4/ apply second part of the templateUrl directive on the fetched template
(`afterTemplateNodeLinkFn`)
That is, the templateUrl directive is basically split into two parts (two `nodeLinkFn` functions),
which has to be both applied.
Normally we compose linking functions (`nodeLinkFn`) using continuation - calling the linking
function of a parent element, passing the linking function of the child elements as an argument. The
parent linking function then does:
1/ execute its pre-link functions
2/ call the child elements linking function (traverse)
3/ execute its post-link functions
Now, we have two linking functions for the same DOM element level (because the templateUrl directive
has been split).
There has been multiple issues because of the order of these two linking functions (creating
controller before setting up scope locals, running linking functions before instantiating
controller, etc.). It is easy to fix one use case, but it breaks some other use case. It is hard to
decide what is the "correct" order of these two linking functions as they are essentially on the
same level.
Running them side-by-side screws up pre/post linking functions for the high priority directives
(those executed before the templateUrl directive). It runs post-linking functions before traversing:
```js
beforeTemplateNodeLinkFn(null); // do not travers
afterTemplateNodeLinkFn(afterTemplateChildLinkFn);
```
Composing them (in any order) screws up the order of post-linking functions. We could fix this by
having post-linking functions to execute in reverse order (from the lowest priority to the highest)
which might actually make a sense.
**My solution is to remove this splitting.** This commit removes the `beforeTemplateNodeLinkFn`. The
first run (before we have the template) only schedules fetching the template. The rest (creating
scope locals, instantiating a controller, linking functions, etc) is done when processing the
directive again (in the context of the already fetched template; this is the cloned
`derivedSyncDirective`).
We still need to pass-through the linking functions of the higher priority directives (those
executed before the templateUrl directive), that's why I added `preLinkFns` and `postLinkFns`
arguments to `applyDirectivesToNode`.
This also changes the "$compile transclude should make the result of a transclusion available to the
parent directive in post- linking phase (templateUrl)" unit test. It was testing that a parent
directive can see the content of transclusion in its pre-link function. That is IMHO wrong (as the
`ngTransclude` directive inserts the translusion in its linking function). This test was only passing because of
c173ca4128, which changed the behavior of the compiler to traverse
before executing the parent linking function. That was wrong and also caused the #3792 issue, which
this change fixes.
Closes#3792Closes#3923Closes#3935Closes#3927
The problem was in keeping the values of `attrNameStart` and `attrNameEnd` between directive loop iterations which lead to the compiler looking for multi-element ranges for any directives that happened to be in the directive list after one that was applied on a range. For instance, having a ng-repeat-start and ng-class on a single element with ng-repeat being resolved first made the compiler look for an ng-repeat-end for both ng-repeat and ng-class because the `attrNameEnd` was not reset to a falsy value before the second iteration. As the result, an exception saying the block end element could not be found and the second directive was not actually applied.
Closes#4002
jQuery 1.10.2 does not attach data to comment nodes, which previously broke `$compile`.
This changes how elements with "transclude element" and a controller are compiled to
avoid the issue.
Closes#3764
- Add proper ngdoc annotations to existing $observe documentation
- Add link to directive guide for usage example of $observe
- Add note about $observe function parameter signature
Closes#3957
This fixes regression introduced by #3514 (5c560117) - this commit is being
reverted here and a better fix is included.
The regression caused the controller to be instantiated before the isolate scope
was initialized.

To avoid "Argument type Array is not assignable to parameter type function" validation error When using the minifcation-safe array style
(eg .directive('myDirective', ['$http','$timeout','$compile', function($http,$timeout $compile).... )
Closes#3392
Controllers should be always instantiated after compile fn runs, but before
pre-link fn runs. This way, controllers are available to pre-link fns that
request them.
Previously this was broken for async directives (directives with templateUrl).

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.
$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.
changing the type of select box from single to multiple or the other way around
at runtime is currently not supported and the two-way binding does odd stuff
when such situation happens.
we might eventually support this, but for now we are just going to not allow
binding to select[multiple] to prevent people from relying on something that
doesn't work.
BREAKING CHANGE: binding to select[multiple] directly or via ngMultiple (ng-multiple)
directive is not supported. This feature never worked with two-way data-binding,
so it's not expected that anybody actually depends on it.
Closes#3230
Ref: 1adf29af13
BREAKING CHANGE: img[src] URLs are now sanitized via a separate
whitelist regex instead of sharing the whitelist regex with a[href].
With this change, img[src] URLs may also be data: URI's matching
mime types image/*. mailto: URLs are disallowed (and do not make
sense for img[src] but were allowed under the a[href] whitelist used
before.)
Previously if a template contained a directive that had a template
(sync or async) and the directive template was to replace the original
element and the directive template contained another directive on the
root element of this template and this new directive was an element
transclude directive then an infinite recursion would follow because
the compiler kept on re-adding and reapplying the original directive
to the replaced node.
This change fixes that.
Closes#2155
This reverts commit 15e1a29cd0.
The original commit was fixing two issues - one of them was
preventing attributes that triggered directives that replaced
the compiled node to be merged into the new node.
This change was a breaking change (as seen in the diff of the
tests in this commit) and that's why it's being removed.
A proper fix will follow.
BREAKING CHANGE: Concatenating expressions makes it hard to reason about
whether some combination of concatenated values are unsafe to use
and could easily lead to XSS. By requiring that a single expression
be used for *[src/ng-src] such as iframe[src], object[src], etc.
(but not img[src/ng-src] since that value is sanitized), we ensure that the value
that's used is assigned or constructed by some JS code somewhere
that is more testable or make it obvious that you bound the value to
some user controlled value. This helps reduce the load when
auditing for XSS issues.
To migrate your code, follow the example below:
Before:
JS:
scope.baseUrl = 'page';
scope.a = 1;
scope.b = 2;
HTML:
<!-- Are a and b properly escaped here? Is baseUrl
controlled by user? -->
<iframe src="{{baseUrl}}?a={{a}&b={{b}}">
After:
JS:
var baseUrl = "page";
scope.getIframeSrc = function() {
// There are obviously better ways to do this. The
// key point is that one will think about this and do
// it the right way.
var qs = ["a", "b"].map(function(value, name) {
return encodeURIComponent(name) + "=" +
encodeURIComponent(value);
}).join("&");
// baseUrl isn't on scope so it isn't bound to a user
// controlled value.
return baseUrl + "?" + qs;
}
HTML: <iframe src="{{getIframeSrc()}}">
BREAKING CHANGE: Interpolations inside DOM event handlers are
disallowed. DOM event handlers execute arbitrary Javascript code.
Using an interpolation for such handlers means that the interpolated
value is a JS string that is evaluated. Storing or generating such
strings is error prone and likely leads to an XSS if you're not
super careful. On the other hand, ng-click and such event handlers
evaluate Angular expressions that are a lot safer (e.g. No direct
access to global objects - only scope), cleaner and harder to
exploit.
To migrate the code follow the example below:
Before:
JS: scope.foo = 'alert(1)';
HTML: <div onclick="{{foo}}">
After:
JS: scope.foo = function() { alert(1); }
HTML: <div ng-click="foo()">
Ref: 9532234bf1
BREAKING CHANGE: img[src] URLs are now sanitized using the same whitelist
as a[href] URLs. The most obvious impact is if you were using data:
URIs. data: URIs will be whitelisted for img[src] in a future
commit.
jQuery switched to a completely new event binding implementation as of
1.7.0, centering around on/off methods instead of previous bind/unbind.
This patch makes jqLite match this implementation while still supporting
previous bind/unbind methods.
$route, $routeParams and ngView have been pulled from core angular.js
to angular-route.js/ngRoute module.
This is was done to in order keep the core focused on most commonly
used functionality and allow community routers to be freely used
instead of $route service.
There is no need to panic, angular-route will keep on being supported
by the angular team.
Note: I'm intentionally not fixing tutorial links. Tutorial will need
bigger changes and those should be done when we update tutorial to
1.2.
BREAKING CHANGE: applications that use $route will now need to load
angular-route.js file and define dependency on ngRoute module.
Before:
```
...
<script src="angular.js"></script>
...
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['someOtherModule']);
...
```
After:
```
...
<script src="angular.js"></script>
<script src="angular-route.js"></script>
...
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute', 'someOtherModule']);
...
```
Closes#2804
By appending directive-start and directive-end to a
directive it is now possible to have the directive
act on a group of elements.
It is now possible to iterate over multiple elements like so:
<table>
<tr ng-repeat-start="item in list">I get repeated</tr>
<tr ng-repeat-end>I also get repeated</tr>
</table>
