Angular PatternFly 4 Migration Guide
This wiki page will detail changes required to migrate your Angular-PatternFly applications from Angular-PatternFly 3 to Angular-PatternFly 4.
Upgrade your PatternFly dependency using the npm command:
$ npm install --save patternfly@next
Upgrade your PatternFly dependency using the bower command:
bower install --save patternfly#3.25.0
Angular-PatternFly v4.0.0 updates it's angular-ui-bootstrap dependency to v2.3.x. Post angular-ui-bootstrap v0.14.0 all angular-ui-bootstrap components are prefixed with 'uib-'. Angular-patternfly v4.0.0 has prefixed all of it's angular-ui-bootstrap components. You may have to prefix angular-ui-bootstrap components in your application. Please see Prefix Migration Guide for more information.
In PatternFly 4 the Angular 1.x directives were refactored to Angular 1.5+ components. The naming convention has remaing the same, but all attribute directives will need to be changed to component tags, as in:
<div pf-about-modal ...></div>
would become:
<pf-about-modal ...></pf-about-modal>
Exceptions (these are still attribute directives):
- pfRemainingCharsCount
- pfFocused
- pfValidation
- pfFixedAccordion
A list of all PatternFly 4 components and their attributes can be seen in the Angualr-PatternFly docs: http://www.patternfly.org/angular-patternfly/
In PatternFly 4, two directives have been removed:
- pfDatepicker - this can be replaced with Angular UI Bootstrap's uibDatepicker
- pfDateTimepicker - currently there is no non-jquery support for this component
The angular patternfly code has been adjusted to use the non-JQuery patternfly settings. To keep this jQuery independence, include only patternfly-settings.js rather than patternfly.js.
- Updated lodash dependency to 4.x
- Updated angular-bootstrap dependency to 2.3.x
- Dropped 1.3.x support for dependencies: angular, angular-animate, angular-sanitize, and angular-mocks
- Update layout for sort, filter, and toolbar to match patternfly markup
- pfInlineNotification - pfNotificationRemove function added which ties the click event of the close button to a user specified function. Previously, this used to be hardcoded to use the Notifications service, this is now optional.
- pfListView - If defined, actionButton class will replace 'btn-default'. Previously it was appended. (Issue #434)
