angular.compile()() returns {scope:scope, view:view},
this isn't useful at all and only makes tests more verbose.
Instead, this change makes the linking function return scope directly
and if anyone needs the linked dom there are two ways to do it
documented in angular.compile.
other changes:
- moved angular.compile docs to the compiler so that they are closer to
the compiler
- fixed some typos and updated angular.compile docs with the new return
value
- Browser now starts the poller on first call to addPollFn()
- Many services ($location, $cookies, $router) are no longer eager-publish. The result is that
unless someone needs the $cookies, they will not cause the Browser to start polling for them.
- added angular.injector(scope, services, instanceCache) which returns inject
- inject method can return, instance, or call function which have $inject
property
- initialize services with $creation=[eager|eager-publish] this means that
only some of the services are now globally accessible
- upgraded $become on scope to use injector hence respect the $inject property
for injection
- $become should not be run multiple times and will most likely be removed
in future version
- added $new on scope to create a child scope
- $inject is respected on constructor function
- simplified scopes so that they no longer have separate __proto__ for
parent, api, behavior and instance this should speed up execution since
scope will now create one __proto__ chain per scope (not three).
BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY WARNING:
- services now need to have $inject instead of inject property for proper
injection this breaks backward compatibility
- not all services are now published into root scope
(only: $location, $cookie, $window)
- if you have widget/directive which uses services on scope
(such as this.$xhr), you will now have to inject that service in
(as it is not published on the root scope anymore)
- change from using prototype to inner functions to help with better compression
- removed watchers (url/cookie) and introduced a poller concept
- moved the checking of URL and cookie into services which register with poolers
Benefits:
- Smaller minified file
- can call $browser.poll() from tests to simulate polling
- single place where setTimeout needs to be tested
- More testable $browser
