Migration from Angular 1 to Angular 2

Angular 1 applications can be incrementally upgraded to Angular 2

There are many ways to structure Angular 1 applications.

Two major ways to feel the taste of Angular 2 in your project.

ngForward is not a real upgrade framework for Angular 2 but instead we can use it to create Angular 1 apps that look like Angular 2.

ngUpgrade In order to run both frameworks side-by-side and make components interoperable, the Angular projects comes with a module ngUpgrade. The module basically acts as an adapter facade, so we don’t really feel that there are two frameworks running side-by-side.

TypeScript to Angular development

Type system is very important because it allows large team to work together 

If you are scared of TypeScript, then you can continue writing on JavaScript

TypeScript has annotations

Angular 2 and Dart

Actually, Angular 1 provides two things: one version for JavaScript and one version for Dart

As for Angular 2.  Google team contribute to TypeScript and generate API for Dart, TypeScript, ES6 

Update Angular 1 code base to be typescript?

There are not any plans for update Angular 1 code base 

Community find lear Angular 2 a lot more understandable 

Also Angular 2 is more toolable then Angular 1

Angular 1 is framework for developers building web-apps structure, reducing boilerplate, making testing easing etc. Angular 2 now is called a platform

Angular 2 as a platform

Web

Mobile web

Android

iOS

Mac

Windows

Linux

Rendering in Angular 2

DOM renderer is default

You can run Angular 2 anywhere that runs JavaScript

Web Workers

Server side: node.js, Java, PHP ...

React and Native Script

Conventions in Angular 2

Working together with John Papa and Minko Gechev

Conversations is  one of the main goal

Currently in alpha

Angular-CLI

Prototype of a CLI for Angular 2 applications based on the ember-cli project.

npm install -g angular-cli
ng new PROJECT_NAME

Install: 

ng build
ng test
ng g component my-new-component

Create project:

New component:

Create build:

Run tests:

What about size?

Angular 2 performance

Angular 2.0 really powerful

Code is really effective and optimal

Today, Angular 2 is 5x faster than Angular 1

Deep Tree benchmark: rendering

Angular use Rx.js

RxJS is a reactive streams library that allows you to work with asynchronous data streams

Angular 2 currently uses RxJs Observables in two different ways:

  • as an internal implementation mechanism, to implement some of its core logic like EventEmitter
  • as part of its public API, namely in Forms and the HTTP module

Angular use Zone.js

Informs Angular when to run change detection

 It’s an execution context that persists across async tasks

Browser supports

Latest versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, IE, and Safari

IE9+ and Android 4.1+

Architecture

Data binding

Component

export class HeroListComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor(private _service: HeroService){ }

  heroes:Hero[];
  selectedHero: Hero;

  ngOnInit(){
    this.heroes = this._service.getHeroes();
  }

  selectHero(hero: Hero) { this.selectedHero = hero; }
}

Template

<h2>Hero List</h2>

<p><i>Pick a hero from the list</i></p>
<div *ngFor="#hero of heroes" (click)="selectHero(hero)">
  {{hero.name}}
</div>

<hero-detail *ngIf="selectedHero" [hero]="selectedHero"></hero-detail>

Metadata

@Component({
  selector:    'hero-list',
  templateUrl: 'app/hero-list.component.html',
  directives:  [HeroDetailComponent],
  providers:   [HeroService]
})
export class HeroesComponent { ... }

Service

export class HeroService {
  constructor(
    private _backend: BackendService,
    private _logger: Logger) { }

  private _heroes:Hero[] = [];

  getHeroes() {
    this._backend.getAll(Hero).then( (heroes:Hero[]) => {
      this._logger.log(`Fetched ${heroes.length} heroes.`);
      this._heroes.push(...heroes); // fill cache
    });
    return this._heroes;
  }
}

Dependency injection

Bootstrap

 bootstrap(AppComponent, [BackendService, HeroService, Logger]);
