This reverts commit 3a65822023.
The change cased regressions in third party components that require
promises from getter functions not to be unwrapped.
Since we have deprecated the promise unwrapping support in $parse it
doesn't make much sense to fix this issue and deal with regressions in
third party code.
Closes#4158
This commit disables promise unwrapping and adds
$parseProvider.unwrapPromises() getter/setter api that allows developers
to turn the feature back on if needed. Promise unwrapping support will
be removed from Angular in the future and this setting only allows for
enabling it during transitional period.
If the unwrapping is enabled, Angular will log a warning about each
expression that unwraps a promise (to reduce the noise, each expression
is logged only onces). To disable this logging use
`$parseProvider.logPromiseWarnings(false)`.
Previously promises found anywhere in the expression during expression
evaluation would evaluate to undefined while unresolved and to the
fulfillment value if fulfilled.
This is a feature that didn't prove to be wildly useful or popular,
primarily because of the dichotomy between data access in templates
(accessed as raw values) and controller code (accessed as promises).
In most code we ended up resolving promises manually in controllers
or automatically via routing and unifying the model access in this way.
Other downsides of automatic promise unwrapping:
- when building components it's often desirable to receive the
raw promises
- adds complexity and slows down expression evaluation
- makes expression code pre-generation unattractive due to the
amount of code that needs to be generated
- makes IDE auto-completion and tool support hard
- adds too much magic
BREAKING CHANGE: $parse and templates in general will no longer
automatically unwrap promises. This feature has been deprecated and
if absolutely needed, it can be reenabled during transitional period
via `$parseProvider.unwrapPromises(true)` api.

This reverts commit 281feba4ca.
Since Lexer and Parser objects are stateful it is not safe
to reuse them for parsing of multiple expressions.
After recent refactoring into prototypical style, the instantiation
of these objects is so cheap that it's not a huge win to use
singletons here.
Objects received from outside AngularJS may have had their `hasOwnProperty`
method overridden with something else. In cases where we can do this without
incurring a performance penalty we call directly on Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty
to ensure that we use the correct method.
Also, we have some internal hash objects, where the keys for the map are provided
from outside AngularJS. In such cases we either prevent `hasOwnProperty` from
being used as a key or provide some other way of preventing our objects from
having their `hasOwnProperty` overridden.
BREAKING CHANGE: Inputs with name equal to "hasOwnProperty" are not allowed inside
form or ngForm directives.
Before, inputs whose name was "hasOwnProperty" were quietly ignored and not added
to the scope. Now a badname exception is thrown.
Using "hasOwnProperty" for an input name would be very unusual and bad practice.
Either do not include such an input in a `form` or `ngForm` directive or change
the name of the input.
Closes#3331
This reduces memory consumption of parsed angular expressions and
speeds up parsing.
This JSPerf case demonstrates the performance boost:
http://jsperf.com/closure-vs-prototype-ngparser
Chrome: 1.5–2x boost
FF: slightly slower (I would love to know why)
IE: 4x boost
To be clear, this doesn't have any impact on runtime performance
of expressions as demostrated in this JSPerf:
http://jsperf.com/angular-parser-changesCloses#3681
This fixes an inconsistency where you can't call the setter function
when the expression resolves to a top level field name on a promise.
Setting a field on an unresolved promise will throw an exception. (This
shouldn't really happen in your template/js code and points to a
programming error.)
Closes#1827
Add '?' token to lexer, add ternary rule to parser at
(hopefully) proper precedence and associativity (based
on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Operator_Precedence).
Since (exp1 && exp2 || exp3) is supported by the parser,
and (exp1 ? exp2 : exp3) works the same way, it seems
reasonable to add this minor form of control to templates
(see #719).
Fix a context duplication and invocation to a previous context when
doing an access modifier function on the result of a function
Currently, when doing `foo().bar()`, `foo` is called twice, the first
time to get the context and the second one for `bar` to get the
underlying object. Then the call to `bar` is called using the second
instance as self
This is equivalent to doing:
```
var instance1 = foo();
var instance2 = foo();
instance2.bar.apply(instance1);
```
Closes#2496
* `literal` is set to true if the expression's top-level is a JavaScript
literal (number, string, boolean, null/undefined, array, object), even
if it contains non-literals inside.
* `constant` is set to true if the expression is known to be made
entirely of constant values, i.e., evaluating it will always yield the
same result.
A consequence is that a JSON expression is guaranteed to be both literal
and constant.
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
CSP (content security policy) forbids apps to use eval or
Function(string) generated functions (among other things). For us to be
compatible, we just need to implement the "getterFn" in $parse without
violating any of these restrictions.
We currently use Function(string) generated functions as a speed
optimization. With this change, it will be possible to opt into the CSP
compatible mode using the ngCsp directive. When this mode is on Angular
will evaluate all expressions up to 30% slower than in non-CSP mode, but
no security violations will be raised.
In order to use this feature put ngCsp directive on the root element of
the application. For example:
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app ng-csp>
...
...
</html>
