Updates for all angular.io links to the new angular.dev domain. Additionally, adjustment to new resources where the equivalent does not exist on the new site (e.g. Tour of Heroes tutorial)
`ng g c` no longer generates a component with the `CommonModule` import.
This import is not useful if developers adopt the control flow syntax in their templates.
Instead, developers are encouraged to import the individual directives/pipes if needed.
The defer block support introduces a new asynchronous form of the set class metadata Angular function. This form
is needed to allow for providing metadata for dynamically imported deferred components. The asynchronous compileComponents
call within TestBed is now used to initialize this metadata during unit tests. Unit tests that contain defer blocks
must use this call prior to executing a test to allow templates containing defer to properly render. Existing tests that
do not use the new defer block do not require modification unless the defer block is introduced into components used in
the unit test.
`compileComponents` is not necessary when using the CLI (as the templates are inlined) and just adds boilerplate code. So we can remove it from the test schematic and make it independent from `async/await` (only place we would have it in the CLI generated code, and in most Angular apps).
These async methods are a replacement for the Observable based `runSchematicAsync` and `runExternalSchematicAsync` methods.
DEPRECATED:
The Observable based `SchematicTestRunner.runSchematicAsync` and `SchematicTestRunner.runExternalSchematicAsync` method have been deprecated in favor of the Promise based `SchematicTestRunner.runSchematic` and `SchematicTestRunner.runExternalSchematic`.
With this change we update the validation of the libraries and application projects names to fully allow characters that make a valid NPM package name. http://json.schemastore.org/package has been used as reference.
We also remove validators that are no longer needed.
Closes#11051
Allow setting `--style=none` for the component schematic to prevent generation of any style file. Previously this was possible only with `--inlineStyle=true`, which had the side-effect of adding an inline style block to the component decorator. Useful for components or projects which have entirely externalised stylesheets and never want to use component-specific styles.
All TypeScript files have been updated to pass the new eslint-based linting checks. eslint compatible disabling comments have also been added in place of the previous tslint comments.
BREAKING CHANGE:
`entryComponent` option has been removed from the `component` schematic as this was intended to be used with the the now no longer supported ViewEngine rendering engine.
Previously, `addSymbolToNgModuleMetadata()` assumed that the added
symbol would not span multiple lines. In most cases, the added symbol is
a single word, so this assumption was correct. In some cases, however,
we might want to add a mutli-line string, such as a static method of an
`@NgModule`:
```ts
imports: [
SomeModule.staticMethod({
prop1: 'val1',
prop2: 'val2'
})
]
```
This commit allows `addSymbolToNgModuleMetadata()` to correctly handle
multi-line strings by ensuring that added metadata symbols are always
put on a new line (even if the array is empty) and each line in the
string is indented as necessary.
Currently, Component and Class have the options to add custom type. In the case of class, It's already working fine with an empty string in type but in the case of component When setting the type to an empty string the file names generated will contain an extra period (.) which breaks the flow.
With this PR, It will generate the files without an extra period (.)
Reference #16811 and #16891
This aligns options that do the same thing:
1) `skipSpecs` and `spec` has been deprecated in favor of `skipTests`.
2) `styleext` has been deprecated in favor of `style` since the latest is two words.
Fixes#12784
This should clean up the code a bit.
Note: at first I added the no-useless-cast rule, but after getting frustrated
with it (as it has many false positive), I decided to remove the rule but some
useless casts were removed so I let those in the PR.
