18.0.0-next.3 (2024-04-03)

Breaking Changes

router

• Providers available to the routed components always come from the injector heirarchy of the routes and never inherit from the RouterOutlet. This means that providers available only to the component that defines the RouterOutlet will no longer be available to route components in any circumstances. This was already the case whenever routes defined providers, either through lazy loading an NgModule or through explicit providers on the route config.

18.0.0-next.2 (2024-03-28)

Breaking Changes

compiler-cli

• • Angular no longer supports TypeScript versions older than 5.4.

core

• ComponentFixture.whenStable now matches the ApplicationRef.isStable observable. Prior to this change, stability of the fixture did not include everything that was considered in ApplicationRef. whenStable of the fixture will now include unfinished router navigations and unfinished HttpClient requests. This will cause tests that await the whenStable promise to time out when there are incomplete requests. To fix this, remove the whenStable, instead wait for another condition, or ensure HttpTestingController mocks responses for all requests. Try adding HttpTestingController.verify() before your await fixture.whenStable to identify the open requests. Also, make sure your tests wait for the stability promise. We found many examples of tests that did not, meaning the expectations did not execute within the test body.

  In addition, ComponentFixture.isStable would synchronously switch to true in some scenarios but will now always be asynchronous.

router

• When a a guard returns a UrlTree as a redirect, the redirecting navigation will now use replaceUrl if the initial navigation was also using the replaceUrl option. If this is not desirable, the redirect can configure new NavigationBehaviorOptions by returning a RedirectCommand with the desired options instead of UrlTree.

18.0.0-next.1 (2024-03-20)

Breaking Changes

platform-browser-dynamic

• No longer used RESOURCE_CACHE_PROVIDER APIs have been removed.

platform-server

• deprecated platformDynamicServer has been removed. Add an import @angular/compiler and replace the usage with platformServer

• deprecated ServerTransferStateModule has been removed. TransferState can be use without providing this module.

• deprecated useAbsoluteUrl and baseUrl been removed from PlatformConfig. Provide and absolute url instead.

• Legacy handling or Node.js URL parsing has been removed from ServerPlatformLocation.

  The main differences are;

  • pathname is always suffixed with a /.
  • port is empty when http: protocol and port in url is 80
  • port is empty when https: protocol and port in url is 443

router

• This change allows Route.redirectTo to be a function in addition to the previous string. Code which expects redirectTo to only be a string on Route objects will need to be adjusted.
