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.
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
Chrome (probably other browsers as well) fires 'hashchange' event synchronously, so if you change raw location from within $apply/$digest, we don't want to $apply twice. (It would throw an exception)
- there are too many unknowns about PATCH, so I'm dropping its support until we know that this is actually useful
- expectGET, expectHEAD and expectJSON (and the same for whenXXX) should not require response data to be specified
