Problems:
- controller was instantiated immediately on $afterRouteChange (even if no content), that's
different compare to ng:controller, which instantiates controllers after compiling
- route listened on current scope ($afterRouteChange), so if you were listening on $rootScope
($afterRouteChange), you get called first and current.scope === undefined, which is flaky
- route handles scope destroying, but scope is created by ng:view
- route fires after/before route change even if there is no route (when no otherwise specified)
Solution:
- route has no idea about scope, whole scope business moved to ng:view (creating/destroying)
- scope is created (and controller instantiated) AFTER compiling the content
- that means on $afterRouteChange - there is no scope yet (current.scope === undefined)
- added $contentLoaded event fired by ng:view, after linking the content
- 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)
Reason to fix this was the fact that with undefined url, it ended up with weird exception
(Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined), which was more confusing than helpful.
jQuery.ajax() does request to current url, if url is not specified, so I decided for this solution.
These methods cause IE8 holds the whole jqLite in the memory, even when page is reloaded.
jqLite's cache keeps element's data (event handlers, attached scopes, injector, etc…), so almost all used memory is never released in IE8.
jQuery creates its own Event object (wrapper around native Event) instead.
