Summary

Since NG-Europe 2014 and the announcement of Angular2 , a lot of change have been made...

RIP of AngularJS principle

Why calling it Angular2 after all ?

The core is still "Angular"

Keep only the good parts of the original Framework

The v2 of Angular is React ?

A lot of people was discourage by the change

The AngularTeam work hard to improve Migration Path

AtScript...?

An extension of Javascript should have been the reference language

But Google/Microsoft teams-up to improve TypeScript

It's not backward-compatible...

It's True but the AngularTeam have something to help the migration...

Angular1 is dying ?

No, It will be supported during two years after the release of Angular2

And your app won't stop working after this...

One framework or many framework ?

AngularJS is a macro-framework with :

  • Dependency Injection
  • Digest Cycle
  • Module Dependency
  • Directive for everything...

Angular2 is a m*cro-framework

Dependency Injection

Help to conserve SOLID principle in application

In angular1

angular.module('myApp', [])
    .constant('Engine', function(){}).
    .constant('Tires', function(){}).
    .service('Car', Car);

function Car(Engine, Tires){...};
Car.$inject('Engine', 'Tires');
  • Duplication of "code"
  • Singleton for the whole App
  • Namespace collision

DI in Angular2

In ES2015

import { Inject } from 'angular2/core';
class Car {
  constructor(@Inject(Engine) engine, @Inject(Tires) tires) {}
}

In TypeScript

class Car {
  constructor(engine: Engine, tires: Tires) {}
}

The Injector

So it's just a Map<Token, Provider>

Providing Injectable

import { Injector } from 'angular2/core';
...
let injector = Injector.resolveAndCreate([
  Car,
  Engine,
  Tires
]);

let car = injector.get(Car);
import { Injector, provide } from 'angular2/core';
...
let injector = Injector.resolveAndCreate([
  provide(Car, {useClass: Car}),
  provide(Engine, {useClass: Engine}),
  provide(Tires, {useClass: Tires})
]);

Multiple sort of injectable

import { Injector, provide } from 'angular2/core';
...
let injector = Injector.resolveAndCreate([
  Car, // Class as a Provider
  provide(Car, {useClass: Car}), // Full description of Provider, allow aliases
  provide(Car, {
        useFactory : (engine, tire) => new Car(engine, tire),
        deps : ['Engine', 'Tire']
    }), // Provide Car from Factory
  provide(Tire, {useValue: "Tire"}), // Use Value
  SuperEngine,
  provide(Engine, {useExisting : SuperEngine }), // Use Alias
]);

Injector(s)

Singleton only inside the same injectors

import { Injector } from 'angular2/core';

let injector = Injector.resolveAndCreate([Engine]);
let childInjector = injector.resolveAndCreateChild([Engine]);

injector.get(Engine) === injector.get(Engine);
injector.get(Engine) !== childInjector.get(Engine);

Inheritance between Injector

Zones.js

Zones are simply an Execution context for Javascript

 

Zones.js

Zones are simply an Execution context for Javascript

It helps to handle asynchronous code in JS

Extract from Dart Lang, alternative to Domains in NodeJS

Javascript 101

function cf(name) { return function() { console.log(name); } };
var a = cf('a'), b = cf('b'), c = cf('c'), d = cf('d');

a();
setTimeout(b, 0);
setTimeout(c, 0);
d();

Results to

a
d
b
c

All the async tasks are added to the event queue and executed when other tasks are finished

How long does it take ?

start();
a();
setTimeout(b, 0);
setTimeout(c, 0);
d();
stop();

Results :

// Start
a
d
// Stop
b // Missed
c // Missed

What need to be done ?

What need to be done ?

Why are we talking about this ?

Let's consider a framework, for example AngularJS with this:

var $rootScope;
zone
    .fork({
        afterTask : function() {
            $rootScope.$digest();
        }
    })
    .run(function() {
        angular.bootstrap(document, aModule);
        $rootScope = angular
            .element(document)
            .injector()
            .get('$rootScope');
    });

Bonus

Without Exception Handler | With Exception Handler

Observables

 

Definition

“Observables are lazy event streams which can emit zero or more events, and may or may not finish.”

How many time did you write this ?

$scope.$watch('foo.bar', (newVal, oldVal) => {
    ...
});

Or this ?

$scope.$watch('foo.bar', (newVal, oldVal) => {
    if (newVal.length <= 0)
        return;
    let firstTransformation = removeSpaces(newVal);
    let secondTransoformation = firstTransformation.toUpperCase();
    $scope.result = thirdTransformation;
});

RxJS

Simpler !

We can write our previous $watch like this...

foo.bar$ // An Observable
    .filter(v => v.length > 0)
    .map(v => removeSpaces(v))
    .map(v => v.toUpperCase())
    .subscribe(
        v => $scope.result = v /* An Observer */
    );

And we have a lot of operators !

  • create
  • range
  • using
  • from
  • of
  • toPromise
  • toMap
  • toSet
  • toArray
  • amb
  • combineLatest
  • concat
  • startWith
  • merge
  • repeat
  • withLatestFrom
  • zip
  • publish
  • replay
  • aggregate
  • average
  • count
  • max
  • min
  • reduce
  • sum
  • debounce
  • interval
  • filter
  • map
  • elementAtOrDefault
  • flatMap
  • findIndex
  • first
  • pluck
  • select
  • single
  • take
  • takeLast
  • where
  • buffer
  • groupBy
  • join
  • windowd
  • do

Any documentation ?

Yes, and it's very fun !

Good to know...

Observable are immutable, composable and reusable

let obs$ = Rx.Observable.from(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
obs.subscribe(x => console.log(x)); // 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

let evenObs$ = obs.filter(x => x%2 == 0 ));
evenObs$.subscribe(x => console.log(x)) // 2, 4
evenObs$.map(x => x*2).subscribe(x => console.log(x)) // 4, 8

SystemJS

A polifyll for ES2017 (?) module loader

Module dependency done easy

In AngularJS (it's so 2009...)

angular.module('FooModule', [
 'BarModule',
 'anotherModule'
]);

In ES2015 & SystemJS

import { BarModule } from './Bar.comp';
import { AnotherComp } from './another.comp';

Simple to maintain !

Is it worth it ?

Angular2 is fully modular

Reduce the size of the app depending of what your app need

 

And we deserve better than... this !

(function (global, factory) {
 typeof exports === 'object' && typeof module !== 'undefined' ? factory() :
  typeof define === 'function' && define.amd ? define(factory) :
   (factory());
}(this, function () { 'use strict';
  function myAwesomModule() {
    ...
  }
}));

Only SystemJS ?

No... you can use what you want

For information...

  • Webpack 2 will try to fill the gap between Webpack 1 and JSPM/Rollup
  • JSPM uses Rollup.Js for the build and tree-shaking
  • The AngularTeam uses Rollup to build Angular2 right now

An after jQuery-World

Born in 2006 and help a lot of Web developers...

In AngularJS, we use jQuery Lite

Good fallback to do more in a complicated world

But now, we need to be serious because...

Since January, the 12th 2016 !

HTML5 API's are just enough !

CSS3 query Selectors

let firstClass = document.querySelector('.some-class');
let allOfClass = document.querySelectorAll('.some-class');

CSS class manipulation

let elem = document.querySelector('#some-element');

elem.classList.add('some-class'); // Add class
elem.classList.remove('some-other-class'); // Remove class
elem.classList.toggle('some-other-class') // ...toggle...
elem.classList.contains('some-third-class') // Does it have some class ?

Same thing on inline style...

elem.style.color; // Get a CSS attribute
elem.style.color = 'rebeccapurple'; // Set a CSS attribute
elem.style.minHeight; // Get a CSS attribute
elem.style.minHeight = '200px'; // Set a CSS attribute

Working with Event

let elem = document.querySelector('#some-element');

elem.addEventListener('click', () => console.log('clicked'), false);
elem.addEventListener('customEvent', anotherFunction, false);

Navigating into the dom

let elem = document.querySelector('#some-element');

let parent = elem.parentNode;
let childs = elem.childNodes;

let specificChild = elem.querySelector('anotherClass');
let specificChilds = elem.querySelectorAll('anotherClass');

And about perf ?

Many Languages

Simpler...

Future proof

Type and IDE help

JS based, vector of innovation

So you can write Angular2 in Plain Old Javascript

var TodoComp = ng
.Component({
 selector: 'todo',
 templateUrl: '../partials/todo.html'
})
.Class({
 constructor: function (heroService, routeParams) {}
 select(todo){...}
});

But, it isn't as fun as evolved JS

Or with Type and Decorators !

@Component({
 selector: 'todo',
 templateUrl: '../partials/todo.html'
})
export class TodoComp {
    constructor(
        private heroService: HeroService,
        private routeParams: RouteParams
    ){}

    select(todo : Todo) : Boolean {...}
}

Angular2

All is about Component

EVERYWHERE !

 

An app are just some buildings block

A Component is

Template + Controller (+ optional RouteConfig)

Template

<div>My title is {{ title }}</div>

Property Bindings

No more ng-x directives

Instead, we use standard HTML for property binding

<h3 ng-hide="vm.isHidden" ng-class="{active : favoriteHero === hero }" >
  Your favorite hero is: {{ vm.favoriteHero }}
</h3>

becomes...

<h3 [hidden]="isHidden" [class.active]="favoriteHero === hero" >
  Your favorite hero is: {{ favoriteHero }}
</h3>

Event Bindings

Really no more ng-x directives

Again, we use standard HTML for event binding

<input ng-click="vm.send(foo)">Click me !</input>

becomes...

<input (click)="send($event)">Click me !</input>

And the 'magical' two-way binding ?

It disappears, so we have to do it manually

<input [value]="hero.firstName"
       (input)="hero.firstName=$event.target.value" >

 

NgModel Directive

The API evolves to introduce a syntax for the two-way binding in latest Alpha

<input [(ngModel)]="hero.firstname">

This syntax is a mix between property and event bindings

 

 

Structural Directive

All the directive inducing a dom modification outside of the current element are called Structural Directive

  • ng-if
  • ng-switch
  • ng-repeat

The syntax is a kind of special...

<p *ngIf="condition">
  condition is true and ngIf is true.
</p>
<tr *ngFor="let movie of movies">{{movie.name}}</tr>

But Why ?

Using HTML Template Element

<template>
    <div>A super template !</div>
</template>

This template isn't rendered by the browser but can be used

The asterisk (*) effect

<p *ngIf="condition">
    A super template !
</p>
<template [ngIf]="condition">
  <p>
    A super template !
  </p>
</template>

So, the * is just a syntaxic sugar

And we can write our own Structural Directive !

Local template variable

We can define a template variable associated to a dom element

<video #player src="foo.mp4"></video>
<button (click)="player.play()"></button>

Controller

Still holding all the logic of the component

And compared to Angular1, a component is a tiny "App"

Shell up a Component Declaration

import { Component } from 'angular2/core';

@Component({
 selector: 'todo',
 template: `<h1>{{ title }}</h1>`
})
export class TodoComp {
  public title : String = 'A super presentation !!';
}

Using a service in my component

import { Component } from 'angular2/core';
import { MyService } from './myservice';

@Component({
 selector: 'todo',
 template: `<h1>{{ title }}</h1>`
})
export class TodoComp {
  public title : String = 'A super presentation !!';

  constructor(private _myService : MyService){} // DI in constructor

}

 

Using a service in my component

import { Component } from 'angular2/core';
import { MyService } from './myservice';

@Component({
 selector: 'todo',
 template: `<h1>{{ title }}</h1>`,
 providers : [ MyService ] // Do you remember the injector part ?
})
export class TodoComp {
  public title : String = 'A super presentation !!';

  constructor(private _myService : MyService){} // DI in constructor

}

And now a sub component...

import { Component } from 'angular2/core';
import { MyService } from './myservice';

@Component({
 selector: 'todo',
 template: `
    <h1>{{ title }}</h1>
    <emitter></emitter>
 `,
 providers : [ MyService ]
})
export class TodoComp {
  public title : String = 'A super presentation !!';

  constructor(private _myService : MyService){}

}

 

And now a sub component...

import { Component } from 'angular2/core';
import { MyService } from './myservice';
import { EmitterComponent } from "./emitter.component";

@Component({
 selector: 'todo',
 template: `<h1>{{ title }}</h1> <emitter></emitter>`,
 directives : [ EmitterComponent ] // Inclusion of all subComp needed
 providers : [ MyService ]
})
export class TodoComp {
  public title : String = 'A super presentation !!';
  constructor(private _myService : MyService){}
}

Why so complicated ?

  • Allow Singleton / Multiple service for part of app
  • Avoid name conflict in html
  • All system handle in same place !

Now, Components have an intuitive LifeCycle

  • OnChange - input|output binding value changes
  • OnInit - after the 1st OnChange
  • DoCheck - dev's custom change detection
  • AfterContentInit - after comp content initialized
  • AfterContentChecked - after every check of comp content
  • AfterViewInit - after comp's view(s) are initialized
  • AfterViewChecked - after every check of a comp's view(s)
  • OnDestroy - just before destruction

And we can use Interface to declare it

import { Component } from 'angular2/core';
import { MyService } from './myservice';
import { EmitterComponent } from "./emitter.component";

@Component({
 selector: 'todo',
 template: `<h1>{{ title }}</h1> <emitter></emitter>`,
 directives : [ EmitterComponent ] // Inclusion of all subComp needed
 providers : [ MyService ]
})
export class TodoComp implements OnInit {
  public title : String = 'A super presentation !!';
  constructor(private _myService : MyService){}

  ngOnInit() { console.log('The Component is initialised'); }
}

No more headache with [pre|post]link and compile

Communication

We have now a component, but we want to communicate with other element

How could we do that without any DDO ?

Again, all is in component

Input(s)

import {Component, Input} from 'angular2/core';
@Component({
  selector: 'counter'
  template: `...`
})
export class CounterCmp {
  @Input() counterValue = 0;
}
<counter [counterValue]="10"></counter>

Inputs(s) with Alias

import {Component, Input} from 'angular2/core';
@Component({
  selector: 'counter'
  template: `...`
})
export class CounterCmp {
  @Input('start') counterValue = 0;
}
<counter [start]="10"></counter>

Output(s) as Events !

import {Component, Input} from 'angular2/core';
@Component({
  selector: 'counter'
  template: `...`
})
export class CounterCmp {
  @Input('start') counterValue = 0;
  @Output() stateEmitter = new EventEmitter<State>();
}
<counter [start]="10" (stateEmitter)="show($event)"></counter>

Output(s) with alias too (of course...)

import {Component, Input} from 'angular2/core';
@Component({
  selector: 'counter'
  template: `...`
})
export class CounterCmp {
  @Input('start') counterValue = 0;
  @Output('finish') stateEmitter = new EventEmitter<State>();
  myState : State = { numberOfStop : 0, startDate : Date.now(), finishDate : null };

  finish() {
    this.stateEmitter.emit(myState);
  }
}
<counter [start]="10" (finish)="show($event)"></counter>

Bi-Directional communication

  • [Input] as data-binding
  • (Output) as event-binding

No more of

<foo bar="val"></foo>
<foo bar="{{ val }}"></foo>
<foo bar="val()"></foo>
<foo bar="val"></foo> <!-- the word 'val', not the value'

Service

It's where the logic of your app should be...

Question

And you think Angular2 is more complicated ?

We can declare a service like this

export class MyService{}
providers : [ MyService ]

@Injectable

Just need one decorator to allow DI

import {Injectable} from 'angular2/core';

@Injectable()
export class MyService{
 constructor(private _http : http){}
}

Major change everywhere...

We don't have time to deep dive on everyone, but we can mention it

ComponentRouter

 

Why we need a new Router ?

A `component` logic lead to a Component Router

Ng-Route was too simple

The UI-Router alternative was quite popular

The Router provide now

  • Named Route
  • Dedicated @RouteConfig and Directive
  • Hierarchical Route
  • Concurrent Route

Configurable Change-Detection

  • 1 digest cycle allow to treat the whole app
  • You can alter the Change detection behavior
  • Optimized for immutability

View Encapsulation mode

We can encapsulate everything, and we can do it by multiple way

For a given Component

import {ViewEncapsulation} from 'angular2/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'comp',
  templateUrl: '<div class="my-comp">An encapsulated comp</div>',
  styles: [`.my-comp { background: green; }`],
  encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.Emulated
})
class Comp {}

Emulated

Which is the default encapsulation system

<head>
 <style>.my-comp[_ngcontent-1] {background: green;}</style>
</head>
<comp _ngcontent-0 _nghost-1>
 <div class="my-comp" _ngcontent-1>
  An encapsulated comp
 </div>
</comp>

Native

Which uses the Shadow-DOM

encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.Native
<comp>
 #shadow-root
 | <style>
 |  .my-comp { background: green; }
 | </style>
 | <div class="my-comp">An encapsulated comp</div>
</comp>

None

Take care of Side effect !

encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
<head>
 <style>.my-comp {background: green;}</style>
</head>
<comp _nghost-1>
 <div class="my-comp">
  An encapsulated comp
 </div>
</comp>

Angular-CLI

Derived from ember-cli

$ ng new project
$ ng generate component my-new-component
$ ng build
$ ng test
$ ng e2e
$ ng server

Beyond the browser...

The JS will live out the window element

 

A new Era !

The progressive Web-App era

Web-Worker

A way to do 'heavy' calculation in another thread

Service-Worker

After Mobile First, Offline-First

Cache

Offline

Synchronisation

Universal Angular

Also know as Server-Side-Rendering

  • Increase performance at first load
  • Help for SEO

Angular2 is built upon this principle

import {bootstrap} from 'angular2/platform/browser';
import {AppComponent} from './app.component';

bootstrap(AppComponent);

Migration ?

 

A migration Path exists

The Angular Team works very hard around a way to transform our AngularJS application in Angular2 App

UpgradeAdapter

A module allowing to Upgrade and Downgradeelements of Ng1 and Ng2

  • Allow new syntax in template
  • Synchronize $rootScope.$digest with Zones
  • Create a bridge between DI of two systems

Downgrading from ng2 to ng1

import {UpgradeAdapter} from 'angular2/upgrade';

var adapter = new UpgradeAdapter();
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);

adapter.bootstrap(document.body, ['myApp']);
app.directive('productDetail',
  adapter.downgradeNg2Component(ProductDetail));

Upgrading from ng1 to ng2

@Component({
  selector: 'product-list',
  directives: [
    adapter.upgradeNg1Component('productListItem')
  ],
  template: `<h2>Product List</h2>
    <product-list-item [product]="product"></product-list-item>`
})
class ProductList {
  @Input() products: Product[];
  ...
}

How do we proceed ?

How do we proceed ?

How do we proceed ?

My Opinion ?

The most important requirement to do the migration is...

Good coding style in Angular 1.5+ !

When can we use it ?

Check on Github !

And what about a demo ?

If we have the time...

Thank you

Any questions ?
