angular-aot-fixer v0.8.0

angular-aot-fixer

Utility to assist in fixing AOT compatibility issues in an Angular codebase.

The utility performs the following transformations:

1. Turns private properties/methods which are accessed by a html template into public properties/methods (including any private constructor args accessed from the template).

   For example, the following component:

   @Component( {
       selector: 'my-component',
       template: `
           Hello, {{ worldText }}!
       `
   } )
   export class MyComponent {
       private worldText = "world";
       private theAnswerToTheUniverse = 42;
   }

   Is changed to:

   @Component( {
       selector: 'my-component',
       template: `
           Hello, {{ worldText }}!
       `
   } )
   export class MyComponent {
       public worldText = "world";  // <-- made `public`
       private theAnswerToTheUniverse = 42;  // <-- remains as `private`
   }

2. Makes all @HostListener methods public

3. If a @HostListener includes an argument, but the method does not expect one, then the argument is removed. Example:

   @HostListener( 'window.resize', [ '$event' ] )
   onResize() {
       // ...
   }

   Is changed to:

   @HostListener( 'window.resize' )
   onResize() {
       // ...
   }

Essentially every .html file is parsed looking for identifiers which correspond to private properties in your class, and they are converted to public.

Fair Warning

This utility makes modifications to the directory that you pass it. Make sure you are in a clean git (or other VCS) state before running it in case you need to revert!

Running the Utility from the CLI

npm install --global angular-aot-fixer

Running the Utility from Node

TypeScript:

import { fixAotCompatibility, fixAotCompatibilitySync } from 'angular-aot-fixer';


// Async
