The main api docs page is probably the main landing page for many devs
looking to learn angular, so linking to the main guide pages would
likely help.
Closes#5869
This refactors the filter guide docs into a single file.
Also removes out of date references to the fact that Angular used to enhance Arrays while evaluating expressions.
Before, there we multiple overview docs:
- guide/overview
- guide/introduction
- guide/dev_guide.mvc
- guide/dev_guide.mvc.understanding_model
- guide/dev_guide.mvc.understanding_view
- guide/concepts
Now we have:
- guide/introduction: High level description of Angular with the key benefits but without code or any concrete concepts
- guide/concepts: explains all important concepts with a simple example and contains deep links to the other parts of the guide.
All the old information was moved into existing documents or deleted when they were duplicates.
Currently, the documentation does a bad job of explaining the distinction between the services that it provides,
and the module itself. Furthermore, the instructions for using optional modules are inconsistent or missing.
This commit addresses the problem by ading a new `{@installModule foo}` annotation to the docs generator that
inlines the appropriate instructions based on the name of the module.
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
- 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)
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
