UpgradeAdapter

Class

Deprecated

Use UpgradeAdapter to allow AngularJS and Angular to coexist in a single application.

  
    class UpgradeAdapter {}

Use UpgradeAdapter to allow AngularJS and Angular to coexist in a single application.

The UpgradeAdapter allows:

creation of Angular component from AngularJS component directive (See UpgradeAdapter#upgradeNg1Component)
creation of AngularJS directive from Angular component. (See {@link UpgradeAdapter#downgradeNg2Component})
Bootstrapping of a hybrid Angular application which contains both of the frameworks coexisting in a single application.

Mental Model

When reasoning about how a hybrid application works it is useful to have a mental model which describes what is happening and explains what is happening at the lowest level.

There are two independent frameworks running in a single application, each framework treats the other as a black box.
Each DOM element on the page is owned exactly by one framework. Whichever framework instantiated the element is the owner. Each framework only updates/interacts with its own DOM elements and ignores others.
AngularJS directives always execute inside AngularJS framework codebase regardless of where they are instantiated.
Angular components always execute inside Angular framework codebase regardless of where they are instantiated.
An AngularJS component can be upgraded to an Angular component. This creates an Angular directive, which bootstraps the AngularJS component directive in that location.
An Angular component can be downgraded to an AngularJS component directive. This creates an AngularJS directive, which bootstraps the Angular component in that location.
Whenever an adapter component is instantiated the host element is owned by the framework doing the instantiation. The other framework then instantiates and owns the view for that component. This implies that component bindings will always follow the semantics of the instantiation framework. The syntax is always that of Angular syntax.
AngularJS is always bootstrapped first and owns the bottom most view.
The new application is running in Angular zone, and therefore it no longer needs calls to $apply().

Example

          const adapter = new UpgradeAdapter(forwardRef(() => MyNg2Module), myCompilerOptions);const module = angular.module('myExample', []);module.directive('ng2Comp', adapter.downgradeNg2Component(Ng2Component));module.directive('ng1Hello', function() {  return {     scope: { title: '=' },     template: 'ng1[Hello {{title}}!](<span ng-transclude></span>)'  };});@Component({  selector: 'ng2-comp',  inputs: ['name'],  template: 'ng2[<ng1-hello [title]="name">transclude</ng1-hello>](<ng-content></ng-content>)',  directives:})class Ng2Component {}@NgModule({  declarations: [Ng2Component, adapter.upgradeNg1Component('ng1Hello')],  imports: [BrowserModule]})class MyNg2Module {}document.body.innerHTML = '<ng2-comp name="World">project</ng2-comp>';adapter.bootstrap(document.body, ['myExample']).ready(function() {  expect(document.body.textContent).toEqual(      "ng2[ng1[Hello World!](transclude)](project)");});

downgradeNg2Component

Function

Allows Angular Component to be used from AngularJS.

Use downgradeNg2Component to create an AngularJS Directive Definition Factory from Angular Component. The adapter will bootstrap Angular component from within the AngularJS template.

@paramcomponentType<any>

@returnsFunction

Usage notes

Mental Model

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.
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.
ng-model is controlled by AngularJS and communicates with the downgraded Angular component by way of the ControlValueAccessor interface from

upgradeNg1Component

Type<any>

Allows AngularJS Component to be used from Angular.

Use upgradeNg1Component to create an Angular component from AngularJS Component directive. The adapter will bootstrap AngularJS component from within the Angular template.

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:

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");});

registerForNg1Tests

UpgradeAdapterRef

Registers the adapter's AngularJS upgrade module for unit testing in AngularJS. Use this instead of angular.mock.module() to load the upgrade module into the AngularJS testing injector.

@parammodulesstring[]

any AngularJS modules that the upgrade module should depend upon

Example

          const upgradeAdapter = new UpgradeAdapter(MyNg2Module);// configure the adapter with upgrade/downgrade components and servicesupgradeAdapter.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();  })});

bootstrap

UpgradeAdapterRef

Bootstrap a hybrid AngularJS / Angular application.

This bootstrap method is a direct replacement (takes same arguments) for AngularJS bootstrap method. Unlike AngularJS, this bootstrap is asynchronous.
