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
Changed the isolate scope binding options to:
- @attr - attribute binding (including interpolation)
- =model - by-directional model binding
- &expr - expression execution binding
This change simplifies the terminology as well as
number of choices available to the developer. It
also supports local name aliasing from the parent.
BREAKING CHANGE: isolate scope bindings definition has changed and
the inject option for the directive controller injection was removed.
To migrate the code follow the example below:
Before:
scope: {
myAttr: 'attribute',
myBind: 'bind',
myExpression: 'expression',
myEval: 'evaluate',
myAccessor: 'accessor'
}
After:
scope: {
myAttr: '@',
myBind: '@',
myExpression: '&',
// myEval - usually not useful, but in cases where the expression is assignable, you can use '='
myAccessor: '=' // in directive's template change myAccessor() to myAccessor
}
The removed `inject` wasn't generaly useful for directives so there should be no code using it.
previously we were doing all kinds of checks to see if we should rewrite the url or not and we
were missing many scenarios. not any more.
with this change, we rewrite the url unless:
- the href is not set
- link has target attribute
- the absolute url of the link doesn't match the absolute prefix for all urls in our app
This also means that ng-ext-link attribute which we previously used to distinguish external
links from app links is not necessary any more. apps can just set target=_self to prevent
rewriting.
BREAKING CHANGE: ng-ext-link directive was removed because it's unnecessary
apps that relied on ng-ext-link should simply replace it with target=_self
It turns out that listening only on "blur" event is not sufficient in many scenarios,
especially when you use form validation you always had to use ngModelnstant
e.g. if you want to disable a button based on valid/invalid form.
The feedback we got from our apps as well as external apps is that the
ngModelInstant should be the default.
In the future we might provide alternative ways of suppressing updates
on each key stroke, but it's not going to be the default behavior.
Apps already using the ngModelInstant can safely remove it from their
templates. Input fields without ngModelInstant directive will start propagating
the input changes into the model on each key stroke.
