<form name="ctrl.form"> form controller will accessible
as $scope.ctrl.form instead of $scope['ctrl.form']
BREAKING CHANGE:
If you have form names that will evaluate as an expression:
<form name="ctrl.form">
And if you are accessing the form from your controller:
Before:
function($scope) {
$scope['ctrl.form'] // form controller instance
}
After:
function($scope) {
$scope.ctrl.form // form controller instance
}
This makes it possible to access a form from a controller
using the new "controller as" syntax. Supporting the previous
behavior offers no benefit.
The input field email regex does't not match long domain extensions. This commit extends the email regexp to take a 6 character TLD.
Example 6-character TLDs include .museum and .travel - (e.g. allabout.travel).
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
Normally $exceptionHandler doesn't throw an exception. It is normally
used just for logging and so on. But if an application developer
implemented a version that did throw an exception then $q would never
have called reject() when converting an exception thrown inside a `then`
handler into a rejected promise.
Support controller: 'MyController as my' syntax for directives which publishes
the controller instance to the directive scope.
Support controllerAs syntax to define an alias to the controller within the
directive scope.
If ngClass fires off an add- or removeClass whilst the opposite animation is going on then
the animation will be skipped. The default behavior of ngClass was executing remoteClass
with an empty string while addClass had just fired. This commit fixes that bug.
BREAKING CHANGE: previously ngInclude only updated its content, after this change
ngInclude will recreate itself every time a new content is included. This ensures
that a single rootElement for all the included contents always exists, which makes
definition of css styles for animations much easier.
- ngAnimate directive is gone and was replaced with class based animations/transitions
- support for triggering animations on css class additions and removals
- done callback was added to all animation apis
- $animation and $animator where merged into a single $animate service with api:
- $animate.enter(element, parent, after, done);
- $animate.leave(element, done);
- $animate.move(element, parent, after, done);
- $animate.addClass(element, className, done);
- $animate.removeClass(element, className, done);
BREAKING CHANGE: too many things changed, we'll write up a separate doc with migration instructions
Changes:
- remove ng-bind-html-unsafe
- ng-bind-html is now in core
- ng-bind-html is secure
- supports SCE - so you can bind to an arbitrary trusted string
- automatic sanitization if $sanitize is available
BREAKING CHANGE:
ng-html-bind-unsafe has been removed and replaced by ng-html-bind
(which has been removed from ngSanitize.) ng-bind-html provides
ng-html-bind-unsafe like behavior (innerHTML's the result without
sanitization) when bound to the result of $sce.trustAsHtml(string).
When bound to a plain string, the string is sanitized via $sanitize
before being innerHTML'd. If $sanitize isn't available, it's logs an
exception.
$sce is a service that provides Strict Contextual Escaping services to AngularJS.
Strict Contextual Escaping
--------------------------
Strict Contextual Escaping (SCE) is a mode in which AngularJS requires
bindings in certain contexts to result in a value that is marked as safe
to use for that context One example of such a context is binding
arbitrary html controlled by the user via ng-bind-html-unsafe. We
refer to these contexts as privileged or SCE contexts.
As of version 1.2, Angular ships with SCE enabled by default.
Note: When enabled (the default), IE8 in quirks mode is not supported.
In this mode, IE8 allows one to execute arbitrary javascript by the use
of the expression() syntax. Refer
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/10/16/ending-expressions.aspx
to learn more about them. You can ensure your document is in standards
mode and not quirks mode by adding <!doctype html> to the top of your
HTML document.
SCE assists in writing code in way that (a) is secure by default and (b)
makes auditing for security vulnerabilities such as XSS, clickjacking,
etc. a lot easier.
Here's an example of a binding in a privileged context:
<input ng-model="userHtml">
<div ng-bind-html-unsafe="{{userHtml}}">
Notice that ng-bind-html-unsafe is bound to {{userHtml}} controlled by
the user. With SCE disabled, this application allows the user to render
arbitrary HTML into the DIV. In a more realistic example, one may be
rendering user comments, blog articles, etc. via bindings. (HTML is
just one example of a context where rendering user controlled input
creates security vulnerabilities.)
For the case of HTML, you might use a library, either on the client side, or on the server side,
to sanitize unsafe HTML before binding to the value and rendering it in the document.
How would you ensure that every place that used these types of bindings was bound to a value that
was sanitized by your library (or returned as safe for rendering by your server?) How can you
ensure that you didn't accidentally delete the line that sanitized the value, or renamed some
properties/fields and forgot to update the binding to the sanitized value?
To be secure by default, you want to ensure that any such bindings are disallowed unless you can
determine that something explicitly says it's safe to use a value for binding in that
context. You can then audit your code (a simple grep would do) to ensure that this is only done
for those values that you can easily tell are safe - because they were received from your server,
sanitized by your library, etc. You can organize your codebase to help with this - perhaps
allowing only the files in a specific directory to do this. Ensuring that the internal API
exposed by that code doesn't markup arbitrary values as safe then becomes a more manageable task.
In the case of AngularJS' SCE service, one uses $sce.trustAs (and
shorthand methods such as $sce.trustAsHtml, etc.) to obtain values that
will be accepted by SCE / privileged contexts.
In privileged contexts, directives and code will bind to the result of
$sce.getTrusted(context, value) rather than to the value directly.
Directives use $sce.parseAs rather than $parse to watch attribute
bindings, which performs the $sce.getTrusted behind the scenes on
non-constant literals.
As an example, ngBindHtmlUnsafe uses $sce.parseAsHtml(binding
expression). Here's the actual code (slightly simplified):
var ngBindHtmlUnsafeDirective = ['$sce', function($sce) {
return function(scope, element, attr) {
scope.$watch($sce.parseAsHtml(attr.ngBindHtmlUnsafe), function(value) {
element.html(value || '');
});
};
}];
Impact on loading templates
---------------------------
This applies both to the ng-include directive as well as templateUrl's
specified by directives.
By default, Angular only loads templates from the same domain and
protocol as the application document. This is done by calling
$sce.getTrustedResourceUrl on the template URL. To load templates from
other domains and/or protocols, you may either either whitelist them or
wrap it into a trusted value.
*Please note*:
The browser's Same Origin Policy and Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
(CORS) policy apply in addition to this and may further restrict whether
the template is successfully loaded. This means that without the right
CORS policy, loading templates from a different domain won't work on all
browsers. Also, loading templates from file:// URL does not work on
some browsers.
This feels like too much overhead for the developer?
----------------------------------------------------
It's important to remember that SCE only applies to interpolation expressions.
If your expressions are constant literals, they're automatically trusted
and you don't need to call $sce.trustAs on them.
e.g. <div ng-html-bind-unsafe="'<b>implicitly trusted</b>'"></div> just works.
Additionally, a[href] and img[src] automatically sanitize their URLs and
do not pass them through $sce.getTrusted. SCE doesn't play a role here.
The included $sceDelegate comes with sane defaults to allow you to load
templates in ng-include from your application's domain without having to
even know about SCE. It blocks loading templates from other domains or
loading templates over http from an https served document. You can
change these by setting your own custom whitelists and blacklists for
matching such URLs.
This significantly reduces the overhead. It is far easier to pay the
small overhead and have an application that's secure and can be audited
to verify that with much more ease than bolting security onto an
application later.
changing the type of select box from single to multiple or the other way around
at runtime is currently not supported and the two-way binding does odd stuff
when such situation happens.
we might eventually support this, but for now we are just going to not allow
binding to select[multiple] to prevent people from relying on something that
doesn't work.
BREAKING CHANGE: binding to select[multiple] directly or via ngMultiple (ng-multiple)
directive is not supported. This feature never worked with two-way data-binding,
so it's not expected that anybody actually depends on it.
Closes#3230
Previously, the number filter would format small and large numbers
as scientific notation. It now uses toFixed() to ensure that all
requested digits are shown.
If an app uses HTML5 mode and we open an html5 url on IE8 or 9 which
don't support location href, we use location.replace to reload the page
with the hashbang equivalent of the url but this fails with infinite
digest. This is because location.replace doesn't update location.href
synchronously on IE8 and 9.
Closes#2802, #3305, #1417
The input [number] error spans did not show on the example, as they were
relying on an non-existing property (myForm.list.$error) vs the working
property (myForm.input.$error)
