angular_compiler 0.4.0-alpha

Compiler for AngularDart.

0.4.0-alpha

While technically a breaking change from 0.3.0, it will likely be safe for most users to set bound constraints that include 0.4.0; this will allow users of the 4.0.0 AngularDart release to utilize the new generator_inputs optimization.

dependencies:
  angular_compiler: '>=0.3.0 <0.5.0'

Breaking changes

• @Component and @Directive annotated classes are no longer @Injectable. In practice this means they can no loger be provided as an implicit const Provider(FooComponent) without either manually adding @Injectable or refactoring your code. We found this didn't really affect users, and most uses of components and directives in these lists were accidental.

New features

• Add generator_inputs flag support to CompilerFlags, to speed up builds that use barback (i.e. pub transformers). By default in pub it assumed that all files relative to the same package have the AngularDart transformer run on them:

lib/
  foo.dart
  bar.dart

This used to asynchronously block and wait for generation to complete, but at 0.3.1 will instead infer that a relative import will eventually have a generated file:

// foo.dart
import 'bar.dart';

While this could be considered a breaking change, in practice it should be breaking only if the $include or $exclude flags are being used to control what files have the AngularDart generator run on them. In that case, the flag can be controlled:

transformers:
  - angular:
      $include:
        - lib/foo.dart
      generator_inputs:
        - lib/foo.dart      # Only foo.dart, not bar.dart.
        - lib/src/**.dart   # But include everything else.

• Started adding experimental support for a new Module syntax.

Bug fixes

• Fix a bug in the outliner that did not the correct output extension.

0.3.0

• Always link to export "...template.dart" files in initReflector().
• Catch missing field-formal (this.) fields and warn in the compiler.
• Does not emit a registerDependencies function call for empty constructors.

0.2.2

• Fixed the outliner to instruct the analyzer to ignore unused imports.
• Add NgAssetReader.

0.2.1

• Various changes internal to the compiler.

0.2.0

• Added various classes and helpers to form the new compile infrastructure:
  • ComponentReader
  • DependencyReader, DependencyInvocation, DependencyElement
  • ProviderReader, ProviderElement
  • TokenReader, TypeTokenElement, OpaqueTokenElement
  • getInheritanceHierarchy, urlOf
  • ReflectableReader, ReflectableOutput, ReflectableClass
