The use of the `@angular-devkit/core` `JsonObject` type is no longer needed to satisfy the type requirements of `@angular-devkit/architect` package builder creation functions.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The deprecated `showCircularDependencies` browser and server builder option has been removed. The recommended method to detect circular dependencies in project code is to use either a lint rule or other external tools.
In some cases unexpected files may be provided which can cause to unsupported or broken behaviour.
One such use-case is users can provide TypeScript files as `scripts` input, this would not be processed by the TypeScript compiler, see: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/17125 and would cause the build to fail with a an unhelpful error message during optimization as the JS optimizers cannot parse TypeScript input.
BREAKING CHANGE:
`browser` and `karma` builders `script` and `styles` options input files extensions are now validated.
Valid extensions for `scripts` are:
- `.js`
- `.cjs`
- `.mjs`
- `.jsx`
- `.cjsx`
- `.mjsx`
Valid extensions for `styles` are:
- `.css`
- `.less`
- `.sass`
- `.scss`
- `.styl`
BREAKING CHANGE: With this change a number of deprecated dev-server builder options which proxied to the browser builder have been removed. These options should be configured in the browser builder instead.
The removed options are:
- `aot`
- `sourceMap`
- `deployUrl`
- `baseHref`
- `vendorChunk`
- `commonChunk`
- `optimization`
- `progress`
With this change we deprecate deployUrl which in many case causes unexpected and undesired behaviour. Such as #12322, #21432 and #6666. This is because one of the drawbacks of deploy Url is that this url needs to be injected all over the bundles.
This option was previously introduced to handle application that only assets are hosted on a CDN. This setup is now mostly considered as legacy as it is recommended that the entire application is hosted on a CDN. That said, this legacy behaviour can still be achieved by setting the `baseHref` to the CDN address, while setting the `APP_BASE_HREF` to the application address.
Closes#12322 and closes#6666
BREAKING CHANGE:
With this change we removed several deprecated builder options
- `extractCss` has been removed from the browser builder. CSS is now always extracted.
- `servePathDefaultWarning` and `hmrWarning` have been removed from the dev-server builder. These options had no effect.
The dev-infra tooling now directly provides public API change testing capabilities that leverage the `api-extractor` utility. These new testing capabilities are shared with framework and components.
`ts-api-guardian` has been removed as a dependency as a result.
