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.
attr.$observe used to call function only if there was interpolation
on that attribute. We now call the observation function all the time
but we only save the reference to it if interpolation is present.
On IE9 the input event is not fired when backspace or delete key are pressed or when
cut is performed. This makes listening on the input event unreliable and therefore
it's better for us to just use keydown/change events instead.
Closes#879
It turns out that listening only on "blur" event is not sufficient in many scenarios,
especially when you use form validation you always had to use ngModelnstant
e.g. if you want to disable a button based on valid/invalid form.
The feedback we got from our apps as well as external apps is that the
ngModelInstant should be the default.
In the future we might provide alternative ways of suppressing updates
on each key stroke, but it's not going to be the default behavior.
Apps already using the ngModelInstant can safely remove it from their
templates. Input fields without ngModelInstant directive will start propagating
the input changes into the model on each key stroke.
We have many instances of this object and we clone them as well (e.g. ng-repeat).
This should save some memory and performance as well.
Double prefixed private properties of attr object:
attr.$element -> attr.$$element
attr.$observers -> attr.$$observers
Update shallowCopy to not copy $$ properties and allow passing optional destination object.
Instead of using our custom serializer we now use the native one and
use the replacer function to customize the serialization to preserve
most of the previous behavior (ignore $ and $$ properties as well
as window, document and scope instances).
