Changelog

v1.2.0

• Added experimental typings file for TypeScript support
• Added publishing for bower

v1.1.0

Added constant and value aliases to to Module:

import {Module} from 'angular-decorators';

Module('my-module', [])
	.constant('constant', 'test constant')
	.value('value', 'test value');

## v1.0.3

**Documentation now includes examples of `@Animation` and `@Provider`**
Examples of usage:
```js
@Animation('.my-animation')
class MyAnimation{ ... }

@Provider('SomeService')
class SomeServiceProvider{ ... }

Properties and scope of a component are respected with inheritance

@Component({
	selector: 'parent',
	properties: [
		'=first'
	]
})
class ParentCtrl{ ... }

@Component({
	selector: 'child',
	properties: [
		'@second'
	]
})
class ChildCtrl extends ParentCtrl{ ... }

// Properties of childCtrl are: ['=first', '@second']

v1.0.2

Fixed bug where properties were parsed incorrectly Property declarations now have full support for watch collection and optional symbols:

@Component({
  selector: 'example',
  properties: [
    '=*first',
    '=?second',
    '=*?third'
  ]
})

v1.0.1

Correctly exporting @Inject decorator

v1.0.0

New Features

• @Animation decorator for creating animation providers
• @Provider decorator for creating raw providers
• @Filter decorator for defining Angular 2 pipe-style filters
• @Component({ properties: [ 'myAttr: =renamedAttr' ] }) for defining properties Angular 2 style

Breaking Changes

Inject decorator now places new injects at the front of the injection array rather than at the end

Given:

@Inject('$http', '$q')
class Parent{ }

@Inject('$timeout')
class Child extends Parent{ }

Before, injection array on Child would have been ['$http', '$q', '$timeout']. Starting with v1.0 it will now be ['$timeout', '$http', '$q']. This makes it easy for subclasses to capture parent dependencies using a rest parameter:

@Inject('$timeout')
class Child extends Parent{
	constructor($timeout, ...parentDependcies){
		super(...parentDependencies);
	}
}

Metadata is now installed on classes using a polyfill of the Reflect metadata API

angular-decorators uses two libraries to achieve this:

• reflect-metadata polyfill - Polyfill for the proposed Reflect Metadata API
• metawriter - A small library that wraps the metadata API to add namespacing, iteration, and a map-like syntax

@Template decorator has been renamed to @View to align with Angular 2 API

Before:

@Template({ url: '/path/to/it.html' })
class ComponentCtrl{ ... }

@Template({ inline: '<h2>Inline Template</h2>' })
class AnotherComponentCtrl{ ... }

After:

@View({ templateUrl: '/path/to/it.html' })
class ComponentCtrl{ ... }

@View({ template: '<h2>Inline Template</h2>' })
class AnotherComponentCtrl{ ... }

@Decorator decorator has been renamed to @Directive to align with new Angular 2 API. @Directive no longer exposes the controller on the scope.

Before:

@Decorator({ selector: '[my-attr]' })
class MyDecoratorCtrl{ ... }

After:

@Directive({ selector: '[my-attr]' })
class MyDecoratorCtrl{ ... }

@Component decorator now sets scope: {} by default on the directive definition object

You can manually override this:

@Component({ selector: 'my-component', scope: false })
class MyComponentCtrl{ ... }

Provider parsers are now passed the provider, name, injection array, and Angular module

Before:

Module.registerProvider('myProvider', function(provider, ngModule){ });

After:

Module.addProvider('myProvider', function(provider, providerName, injectionArray, ngModule){ });

Classes are no longer decorated with an unpackRequires static method for handling requires This can be easily done using a destructuring assignment

Before:

@Require('$http')
class MyClass{
	static link(scope, element, attrs, requires){
		let {$http} = MyClass.unpackRequires(requires);
	}
}

After:

@Require('$http')
class MyClass{
	static link(scope, element, attrs, requires){
		let [$http] = requires;
	}
}
