Usage Notes

Mental Model

1. The component is instantiated by being listed in AngularJS template. This means that the host element is controlled by AngularJS, but the component's view will be controlled by Angular.
2. Even thought the component is instantiated in AngularJS, it will be using Angular syntax. This has to be done, this way because we must follow Angular components do not declare how the attributes should be interpreted.
3. ng-model is controlled by AngularJS and communicates with the downgraded Angular component by way of the ControlValueAccessor interface from @angular/forms. Only components that implement this interface are eligible.

Supported Features

• Bindings:

  • Attribute: <comp name="World">
  • Interpolation: <comp greeting="Hello {{name}}!">
  • Expression: <comp [name]="username">
  • Event: <comp (close)="doSomething()">
  • ng-model: <comp ng-model="name">
• Content projection: yes

Example

const adapter = new UpgradeAdapter(forwardRef(() => MyNg2Module));
const module = angular.module('myExample', []);
module.directive('greet', adapter.downgradeNg2Component(Greeter));

@Component({
  selector: 'greet',
  template: '{{salutation}} {{name}}! - <ng-content></ng-content>'
})
class Greeter {
  @Input() salutation: string;
  @Input() name: string;
}

@NgModule({
  declarations: [Greeter],
  imports: [BrowserModule]
})
class MyNg2Module {}

document.body.innerHTML =
  'ng1 template: <greet salutation="Hello" [name]="world">text</greet>';

adapter.bootstrap(document.body, ['myExample']).ready(function() {
  expect(document.body.textContent).toEqual("ng1 template: Hello world! - text");
});

Usage Notes

Mental Model

1. The component is instantiated by being listed in Angular template. This means that the host element is controlled by Angular, but the component's view will be controlled by AngularJS.

Supported Features

• Bindings:

  • Attribute: <comp name="World">
  • Interpolation: <comp greeting="Hello {{name}}!">
  • Expression: <comp [name]="username">
  • Event: <comp (close)="doSomething()">
• Transclusion: yes

• Only some of the features of Directive Definition Object are supported:

  • compile: not supported because the host element is owned by Angular, which does not allow modifying DOM structure during compilation.
  • controller: supported. (NOTE: injection of $attrs and $transclude is not supported.)
  • controllerAs: supported.
  • bindToController: supported.
  • link: supported. (NOTE: only pre-link function is supported.)
  • name: supported.
  • priority: ignored.
  • replace: not supported.
  • require: supported.
  • restrict: must be set to 'E'.
  • scope: supported.
  • template: supported.
  • templateUrl: supported.
  • terminal: ignored.
  • transclude: supported.

Example

const adapter = new UpgradeAdapter(forwardRef(() => MyNg2Module));
const module = angular.module('myExample', []);

module.directive('greet', function() {
  return {
    scope: {salutation: '=', name: '=' },
    template: '{{salutation}} {{name}}! - <span ng-transclude></span>'
  };
});

module.directive('ng2', adapter.downgradeNg2Component(Ng2Component));

@Component({
  selector: 'ng2',
  template: 'ng2 template: <greet salutation="Hello" [name]="world">text</greet>'
})
class Ng2Component {
}

@NgModule({
  declarations: [Ng2Component, adapter.upgradeNg1Component('greet')],
  imports: [BrowserModule]
})
class MyNg2Module {}

document.body.innerHTML = '<ng2></ng2>';

adapter.bootstrap(document.body, ['myExample']).ready(function() {
  expect(document.body.textContent).toEqual("ng2 template: Hello world! - text");
});

Usage Notes

Example

const upgradeAdapter = new UpgradeAdapter(MyNg2Module);

// configure the adapter with upgrade/downgrade components and services
upgradeAdapter.downgradeNg2Component(MyComponent);

let upgradeAdapterRef: UpgradeAdapterRef;
let $compile, $rootScope;

// We must register the adapter before any calls to `inject()`
beforeEach(() => {
  upgradeAdapterRef = upgradeAdapter.registerForNg1Tests(['heroApp']);
});

beforeEach(inject((_$compile_, _$rootScope_) => {
  $compile = _$compile_;
  $rootScope = _$rootScope_;
}));

it("says hello", (done) => {
  upgradeAdapterRef.ready(() => {
    const element = $compile("<my-component></my-component>")($rootScope);
    $rootScope.$apply();
    expect(element.html()).toContain("Hello World");
    done();
  })
});

Usage Notes

Example

const adapter = new UpgradeAdapter(MyNg2Module);
const module = angular.module('myExample', []);
module.directive('ng2', adapter.downgradeNg2Component(Ng2));

module.directive('ng1', function() {
  return {
     scope: { title: '=' },
     template: 'ng1[Hello {{title}}!](<span ng-transclude></span>)'
  };
});


@Component({
  selector: 'ng2',
  inputs: ['name'],
  template: 'ng2[<ng1 [title]="name">transclude</ng1>](<ng-content></ng-content>)'
})
class Ng2 {
}

@NgModule({
  declarations: [Ng2, adapter.upgradeNg1Component('ng1')],
  imports: [BrowserModule]
})
class MyNg2Module {}

document.body.innerHTML = '<ng2 name="World">project</ng2>';

adapter.bootstrap(document.body, ['myExample']).ready(function() {
  expect(document.body.textContent).toEqual(
      "ng2[ng1[Hello World!](transclude)](project)");
});

Usage Notes

Example

class Login { ... }
class Server { ... }

@Injectable()
class Example {
  constructor(@Inject('server') server, login: Login) {
    ...
  }
}

const module = angular.module('myExample', []);
module.service('server', Server);
module.service('login', Login);

const adapter = new UpgradeAdapter(MyNg2Module);
adapter.upgradeNg1Provider('server');
adapter.upgradeNg1Provider('login', {asToken: Login});

adapter.bootstrap(document.body, ['myExample']).ready((ref) => {
  const example: Example = ref.ng2Injector.get(Example);
});

Usage Notes

Example

class Example {
}

const adapter = new UpgradeAdapter(MyNg2Module);

const module = angular.module('myExample', []);
module.factory('example', adapter.downgradeNg2Provider(Example));

adapter.bootstrap(document.body, ['myExample']).ready((ref) => {
  const example: Example = ref.ng1Injector.get('example');
});
