- # @smartbit4all/ng-client 6.x → 7.0 migration guide
2
-
3
- > 7.0.0 targets **Angular 22.0.8 / TypeScript 6.0.3 / Material 22.0.6**, with PrimeNG fully
4
- > removed (Material/CDK only), every library component `OnPush`, and **no zone.js** — the
5
- > configuration 7.0 is tested in. Angular's `moment` date adapter is replaced by `date-fns`.
6
- > It is a major because a host has to act; nothing here is a silent behaviour change that
7
- > you could ignore.
8
-
9
- ## Where to start
10
-
11
- 1. **Run the codemod** — [Migrating a host: the codemod](#migrating-a-host-the-codemod). It
12
- does the mechanical part (the module imports, the provider configuration, the dead legacy
13
- calls) and prints `file:line` for everything that needs a decision.
14
- 2. Read [Full standalone + `provideSmartNgClient()`](#full-standalone--providesmartngclient-phase-32--the-big-one).
15
- That section rewrites your `app.module.ts`; everything else is small next to it.
16
- 3. Read [Dates](#dates-moment--date-fns-and-the-timezone-contract-phase-38). It is the one
17
- change that needs action **at install time**, and the one that breaks at *runtime* on the
18
- first screen with a date field rather than at build time.
19
- 4. Then the rest in order. The **PrimeNG removal** sections (1.1–1.10) are API changes; the
20
- **hop sections** carry the framework defaults you inherit (OnPush, fetch vs XHR, `?.`).
21
- 5. If you write your own widget, `WIDGETS.md` next to this file is the protocol.
22
-
23
- Measured across the 12 hosts in scope on 2026-07-28, so you know what to expect: 12–17
24
- `Smart*Module` imports per host, 1–20 string-keyed providers, `.cssClass =` on an action
25
- entry at 72 sites in 7 hosts, `this.uiActionModels =` in 5 hosts, `UseUiAction` in 6.
26
-
27
- **How big is this for *your* host?** Codemod dry-run counts for the five hosts in scope
28
- (2026-07-30). The first column the codemod applies for you; the second is the list it refuses to
29
- guess at, which is the real work:
30
-
31
- | host | mechanical | needs a decision |
32
- |---|---|---|
33
- | p014 *(done — the reference)* | 121 | ~100 |
34
- | p043 | 121 | 96 |
35
- | app-tournament | 86 | 34 |
36
- | app-finance-ai | 62 | 18 |
37
- | app-fitnessmirror | 61 | 14 |
38
-
39
- The spread is not about host size — all five are within 274–841 source files — but about which
40
- APIs they happened to use. p043 is p014's twin and repeats its whole decision list; the other
41
- three have **no `.cssClass =` sites at all**, and their lists are dominated by `smart-modules`,
42
- the 3-line `moment-adapter` swap, and `zone-js` (which is **optional** — dropping zone.js is not
43
- required). Take a small one first if you want the process shaken out cheaply.
44
-
45
- **One number that is now zero: the library install.** p014 was migrated against an unpublished
46
- build and paid for it in hand-copies, tarballs and `ERESOLVE`. 7.0.0 is on npm, so a host today
47
- writes `"@smartbit4all/ng-client": "^7.0.0"` and runs `npm i`. None of that thread applies to you.
48
-
49
- ## Migrating a host: the codemod
50
-
51
- It lives in the `platform-angular2` repository — `tools/ng-client-7-codemod/` — and you run
52
- it with plain Node, from a checkout, against your own source directory. Nothing to install.
53
-
54
- ```bash
55
- node tools/ng-client-7-codemod/migrate.mjs ../my-host/ui-angular/src --dry-run # look first
56
- node tools/ng-client-7-codemod/migrate.mjs ../my-host/ui-angular/src # then write
57
- ```
58
-
59
- It **refuses to run on a dirty git tree** (its diff is how you review it, and `git checkout .`
60
- is how you undo it), it is **idempotent**, and it prints a verdict for every rule it knows —
61
- including `no sites found`, because a codemod that silently matched nothing looks exactly
62
- like one that had nothing to do.
63
-
64
- **What it rewrites:** the `Smart*Module` imports (into the standalone declarables of the
65
- mapping table below), the string-keyed providers and both `forRoot()` payloads (into one
66
- `provideSmartNgClient(config, ...features)` call), the redundant core services in the root
67
- providers array, `this.useQueryLists = true` / `handleDataChangeSubscriptions()`,
68
- `[parentSmartComponent]` and the dead `[parent]` inputs,
69
- `execute(x.uiAction, x)` → `execute(x)`, the `async` / `await` around
70
- `getActionDescriptor`, the `SmartdialogService` `super(…)` call and its constructor
71
- parameters, and PrimeNG module imports **no template in your repository renders**.
72
-
73
- **What it refuses to guess at**, printing `file:line` and the section here that explains it:
74
- `UseUiAction` → `UiActionExecutor`, `this.uiActionModels =`, `entry.cssClass =`, `addForm()`,
75
- the 4th argument of `addGrid()`, `getActionDescriptor(…).then(…)`, the moment adapter,
76
- component-level providers, every remaining `primeng/*` import, and `::ng-deep` selectors that
77
- reach into the form widget.
78
-
79
- **What it deliberately does not do:** convert *your* components to standalone. That is
80
- Angular's own schematic (`ng generate @angular/core:standalone`) and it is not required — an
81
- NgModule's `imports:` array takes standalone components, which is exactly what the codemod
82
- puts there. Do the library migration first, get the app running, then decide about standalone
83
- separately.
84
-
85
- Afterwards: run your formatter, swap the date packages ([Dates §1](#1-swap-the-peer-dependency)),
86
- build (expect one `NG8001` per template element whose component is not imported yet — that
87
- loop terminates), and **smoke the app**, because the DI changes are invisible to the compiler.
88
-
89
- ## Breaking changes
90
-
91
- ### Dialog stack: PrimeNG dynamicdialog → MatDialog (Phase 1.1)
92
-
93
- - `SmartdialogService` and `SmartViewContextDialogService` constructors no longer
94
- take a PrimeNG `DialogService` parameter. If your host extends or instantiates
95
- these services, drop the argument (MatDialog is injected internally).
96
-
97
- Both arguments PrimeNG contributed are gone, so the base constructor lost two of
98
- its four parameters:
99
-
100
- ```ts
101
- // 6.x
102
- constructor(dialog: MatDialog, dialogService: DialogService, inject: Injector,
103
- @Inject(COMPONENT_LIBRARY) compLib: ComponentLibrary) {
104
- super(dialog, dialogService, inject, compLib);
105
- }
106
- // 7.0
107
- constructor(dialog: MatDialog, inject: Injector) {
108
- super(dialog, inject);
109
- }
110
- ```
111
-
112
- **The codemod does this** (rule `smartdialog-super`), including the constructor
113
- parameters and the now-unused `primeng/dynamicdialog` import — except where a
114
- dropped parameter carries an accessibility modifier (`protected dialogService: …`),
115
- which declares a class *property* the body may still read. Those are reported.
116
- - The `ComponentLibrary` switch no longer has a PrimeNG branch in the dialog
117
- layer — all dialogs open via `MatDialog` regardless of `COMPONENT_LIBRARY`.
118
-
119
- ### smart-form widgets: PrimeNG removed (Phase 1.2)
120
-
121
- - `ComparableDropdownDirective` and `ComparableMultiselectDirective` are removed
122
- (they decorated the PrimeNG `p-dropdown` / `p-multiSelect` elements, which no
123
- longer exist). Use `SmartformwidgetComponent.compareItems` semantics via
124
- `mat-select [compareWith]`, which the widget template already wires up.
125
- - `SmartformwidgetComponent` constructor no longer takes the injected
126
- `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token; the widget renders Material-only.
127
- - `SmartformwidgetComponent` removed PrimeNG-only public members:
128
- `errorMessages`, `getControlMessages()`, `onPrimeRichTextEditorContentChanged()`,
129
- `safeDropDownBlur()`/`onDropDownShow()`/`onDropDownInput()`,
130
- `safeCalendarBlur()`/`onCalendarShow()`/`onCalendarInput()`, `defaultDate`.
131
- - `SmartFormService.setValuesFromModel()` / `toFormGroup()` /
132
- `createFormControls()` no longer take a `ComponentLibrary` parameter.
133
- - `SmartViewContextModule` no longer imports the PrimeNG form modules
134
- (Dropdown, MultiSelect, Calendar, Chips, InputSwitch, Checkbox, InputNumber,
135
- InputText, InputTextarea, InputMask, FloatLabel, Messages) and no longer
136
- provides `Dropdown` / `MultiSelect`.
137
-
138
- ### fileupload: PrimeNG removed (Phase 1.4)
139
-
140
- - `SmartFileUploaderComponent` (selector `smart-file-uploader4sc`) is removed
141
- from the public API. It was a PrimeNG `p-fileUpload` wrapper declared in
142
- `SmartNgClientModule` but referenced nowhere; the Material-style
143
- `SmartfileuploaderComponent` (selector `smartfileuploader`) is the uploader.
144
- - The internal `PrimeFileUploaderComponent` (selector `prime-file-uploader`)
145
- is removed; `smart-upload-widget` always renders `smartfileuploader`.
146
- - `UploadWidgetComponent` constructor no longer takes the injected
147
- `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token, and its PrimeNG-only members are gone
148
- (`fileUploadPrime`, `uploadFiles()`).
149
- - `SmartNgClientModule` and `SmartViewContextModule` no longer import the
150
- PrimeNG `FileUploadModule`; `SmartViewContextModule` also dropped the dead
151
- `OverlayPanelModule` import (Phase 1.3).
152
-
153
- ### editor: Quill 1.3 → 2, quill-emoji removed (Phase 1.5)
154
-
155
- - Peer dependencies changed: `quill` `^1.3.7` → `^2.0.3`, `ngx-quill`
156
- `16.2.1 - 24.0.5` → `^25.3.3`. Hosts must bump both together (ngx-quill 25.x
157
- is the Quill 2 line for Angular 17; later Angular hops will raise it further).
158
- - `quill-emoji` peer dependency is **removed** (dead, Quill 1-only, unmaintained).
159
- If a host needs emoji support, pick a Quill 2-compatible module on its own.
160
- - `@types/quill` must be removed from host devDependencies — Quill 2 ships its
161
- own TypeScript types, and the stale `@types/quill` 1.x conflicts with them.
162
- - The bundled `quill.snow.css` (imported by the smart-form widget) is now the
163
- Quill 2.0.3 stylesheet; hosts that import `quill/dist/quill.snow.css`
164
- themselves must serve the Quill 2 version.
165
- - `SmartViewContextModule` no longer imports the PrimeNG `EditorModule`
166
- (`<p-editor>` died with Phase 1.2; RICH_TEXT renders via ngx-quill).
167
-
168
- ### smart-diagram: p-chart replaced by direct chart.js (Phase 1.6)
169
-
170
- - `SmartDiagramComponent` renders its own `<canvas>` and instantiates chart.js
171
- directly; the PrimeNG `<p-chart>` wrapper (and the `ChartModule` import in
172
- `SmartDiagramModule`) is gone. Chart.js controllers are now registered by the
173
- component itself (`Chart.register(...registerables)`), so no `chart.js/auto`
174
- import is needed anywhere.
175
- - The public `chart` property (and `getChart()`) is now the chart.js `Chart`
176
- instance instead of the PrimeNG `UIChart` component. `getBase64Image()` and
177
- `refresh()` keep their signatures (delegating to `toBase64Image()` /
178
- `update()`).
179
- - `SmartDiagramComponent` constructor no longer takes the injected
180
- `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token; the component has a single render path.
181
- - DOM/CSS hooks changed: the internal structure is
182
- `div.chart-host > div.chart-container > canvas`; host styles targeting
183
- `::ng-deep p-chart` no longer match. The aspect-ratio classes
184
- (`default-aspect-ratio` / `pie-aspect-ratio`) are now applied on
185
- `.chart-host` and size `.chart-container`.
186
-
187
- ### smart-grid: PrimeNG branch removed (Phase 1.7)
188
-
189
- - `SmartGridComponent` renders Material-only. The `@if (compLib === PRIMENG)`
190
- template branch (the inline `p-table` / `p-paginator` / `p-menu` /
191
- `p-multiSelect` grid) is gone; the grid always renders through the PrimeNG-free
192
- `smart-table` (the `#table` slot), `mat-tree`, `app-smart-grid-card`, and
193
- `mat-paginator`.
194
- - `SmartGridComponent` constructor no longer takes the injected
195
- `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token, nor the `SmartDatePipe` / `SmartDateTimePipe` /
196
- `SmartTimePipe` (they only fed the removed inline `p-table` cell renderer);
197
- those pipes are dropped from the component `providers` too.
198
- - Removed PrimeNG-only public members: `columns`, `menuButtons`, `menu`,
199
- `onOptionsClick()`, `previousmultiSortMeta`, `gridSort()`, `lazyLoad()`,
200
- `headerChange()`, `onColOrder()`, `getOrderColumNames()`, `getColValue()`,
201
- `onPrimeChangePage()`, `onRowSelect()`, `onRowUnselect()`, `onSelectAllRow()`,
202
- `getImageResourceIcons()`, `getImageResourceStyle()`, `getRowColumnAction()`,
203
- `showCellToolbar()`, `shouldShowOptionsButton()`, `calculateMenuActions()`,
204
- `createCellToActionMap()`, `getRowMenuActionModelArray()`, `rowTrackByFn()`,
205
- `cellToActionMap`, `columnMetaByName`, and the `_headerToolbar`
206
- (`#headerToolbar`) view child. The `headerToolbar` getter now returns the
207
- smart-table's header toolbar unconditionally (its only remaining consumer,
208
- `SmartComponentApiClient`, is unaffected).
209
- - `SmartGridModule` no longer imports the PrimeNG `TableModule`, `ButtonModule`,
210
- `MenuModule`, `PaginatorModule`, `MultiSelectModule`; `MatTooltipModule` is
211
- added (the grid refresh button is now a Material `mat-icon-button` +
212
- `matTooltip` instead of `pButton` + `pTooltip`).
213
- - Note: this is the PrimeNG-branch deletion only. The `smart-grid` internals
214
- rewrite to `mat-table` + `MatPaginator` and the `smart-grid`/`smart-table`
215
- merge remain a Phase 3 (post-Angular-22) change.
216
-
217
- ### misc widgets: PrimeNG branches removed (Phase 1.8)
218
-
219
- The remaining components that still carried a dead PrimeNG branch alongside an
220
- already-active Material one are now Material-only. In every case the Material
221
- branch was the rendered path under `COMPONENT_LIBRARY = MATERIAL` (the value all
222
- 7.0 hosts use), so this is render-neutral; the `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token, where
223
- these components still injected it, is now ignored by them.
224
-
225
- - `ExpandableSectionComponent` renders Material-only (the `p-accordion` branch is
226
- gone; always `mat-expansion-panel`). Its constructor no longer takes the
227
- injected `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token. `SmartExpandableSectionModule` no longer
228
- imports the PrimeNG `AccordionModule`.
229
- - `UiActionButtonComponent` renders Material-only (the `pButton`/`pRipple` branch
230
- is gone; always `mat-button`). Its constructor no longer takes the optional
231
- `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token (it previously defaulted to `PRIMENG` when unset).
232
- `getType()` no longer has a PrimeNG class-map branch — it returns the
233
- `mat-mdc-*` class strings unconditionally. (The dynamic `getbtnClass()`'s
234
- `p-button-<color>` class token was later dropped in Phase 1.9.)
235
- - `UiActionToolbarComponent` constructor no longer takes the injected
236
- `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token. The dead `getType()` / `getbtnClass()` methods
237
- (never referenced by the template) were removed, and the scroll-affordance
238
- buttons use the Material icons `arrow_back` / `arrow_forward` unconditionally
239
- (the PrimeNG `chevron-left` / `chevron-right` fallback is gone).
240
- - `UiActionConfirmDialogComponent` and `UiActionInputDialogComponent` render
241
- their close button as a Material `mat-icon-button` unconditionally (the `@else`
242
- `p-button` branch is gone); both constructors no longer take the injected
243
- `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token.
244
- - `SmartIconModule` no longer imports the PrimeNG `BadgeModule` (badges render
245
- via the custom `ui-badge` component, unaffected).
246
- - `SmartViewContextModule` no longer imports the PrimeNG `ButtonModule`,
247
- `TooltipModule`, `ToastModule`, `ImageModule`, or `OrderListModule` (all
248
- unused after the branch deletions). The `primeng/api` `SharedModule`
249
- (`PrimeSharedModule`) import was later dropped in Phase 1.9's final sweep.
250
-
251
- ### PrimeNG package dependency removed (Phase 1.9)
252
-
253
- The `primeng` npm package is gone. Most importantly it is dropped from
254
- `@smartbit4all/ng-client`'s own **`peerDependencies`** (in
255
- `projects/smart-ng-client/package.json`, which flows into the published
256
- `npms/smart-ng-client/package.json`) — that entry is what previously forced every
257
- consuming host to install PrimeNG. It is also removed from the dev workspace
258
- (`package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `node_modules`), and both PrimeNG theme
259
- stylesheets (`primeng/resources/themes/saga-blue/theme.css`,
260
- `primeng/resources/primeng.min.css`) are removed from the app-playground `styles`
261
- in `angular.json`. Hosts that still list `primeng` as a dependency or load its
262
- theme CSS should remove both; 7.0 renders entirely on Material/CDK.
263
-
264
- #### Your own PrimeNG usage
265
-
266
- Removing the peer dependency does not remove PrimeNG from *your* code, and the measured
267
- hosts carry more of it than their authors expect — mostly as **dead module imports**. Across
268
- the 12 hosts, `DialogService` is imported 56 times, but 8 of those in p014 turned out to be
269
- nothing but the base-constructor argument above, and four PrimeNG modules in its
270
- `app.module.ts` rendered nothing at all.
271
-
272
- So the codemod separates the two cases, and the separation is decidable rather than
273
- guessed:
274
-
275
- - **`primeng-modules`** — a PrimeNG NgModule in an `imports:` array is **deleted** when none
276
- of its selectors appears in any template in the repository. The scan runs over `.html`
277
- *and* `.ts` (for inline templates) before anything is rewritten, and it distinguishes an
278
- element (`<p-tree>`) from an attribute directive (`pTooltip`) so that a leftover
279
- `class="p-button"` is not read as a component still in use. What the scan found is printed
280
- in the header, because it is what licenses the deletions.
281
- - **`primeng-imports`** — everything else from `primeng/*` is reported with its replacement.
282
- These are the real ports.
283
-
284
- The replacements, for what the hosts actually import:
285
-
286
- | PrimeNG | Material / CDK |
287
- |---|---|
288
- | `p-button` / `pButton` | `MatButtonModule` — `mat-button`, `mat-icon-button` |
289
- | `p-tree` | the library's `<smart-tree>`, or `MatTreeModule` |
290
- | `p-progressSpinner` | `MatProgressSpinnerModule` — `<mat-spinner>` |
291
- | `pTooltip` | `MatTooltipModule` (`matTooltip`), or `SmartTooltipDirective` |
292
- | `p-sidebar` | `MatSidenavModule` |
293
- | `pInputText` | `MatInputModule` — `matInput` inside `<mat-form-field>` |
294
- | `p-fieldset` | `MatCardModule`, or `<fieldset>` + `<mat-divider>` |
295
- | `p-divider` | `MatDividerModule` |
296
- | `p-accordion` | `MatExpansionModule`, or `<smart-expandable-section>` |
297
- | `p-table` | the library's `<smart-grid>`, or `MatTableModule` |
298
- | `p-editor` | ngx-quill's `<quill-editor>` (already a library dependency) |
299
- | `p-badge` / `pBadge` | `MatBadgeModule`, or `UiBadgeComponent` / `UiBadgeDirective` |
300
- | `p-menu`, `p-overlayPanel` | `MatMenuModule`, or the CDK Overlay |
301
- | `p-inputSwitch` | `MatSlideToggleModule` |
302
- | `p-dialog` | `MatDialog` — open a component instead of toggling `[visible]` |
303
- | `DialogService` | `MatDialog`. There is **no `header` option**: put `<h2 mat-dialog-title>` in the component |
304
- | `DynamicDialogRef` | `MatDialogRef` — `afterClosed()` replaces `onClose` |
305
- | `DynamicDialogConfig` | `MAT_DIALOG_DATA` for the data, `MatDialogRef` for the rest |
306
- | `PrimeNGConfig` | **delete it.** `setTranslation()` of day and month names is already covered by `MAT_DATE_LOCALE` + `SmartDateFnsAdapter` — the date-fns `hu` locale carries both the names and the Monday week start. **Confirmed on a running host** (p014, 2026-07-29, against a live backend): the datepicker opens on `2026. JÚL.` with `H K Sz Cs P Sz V`, i.e. Hungarian and Monday-first, exactly what the deleted `firstDayOfWeek: 1` + `dayNamesMin` used to buy. See [Dates](#dates-moment--date-fns-and-the-timezone-contract-phase-38) |
307
- | `MessageService` | `MatSnackBar` |
308
- | `ConfirmationService` | the library's `UiActionConfirmDialogService` |
309
- | `MenuItem` | the library's `UiActionModel`, or a plain `<mat-menu>` item |
310
- | `SharedModule` (`primeng/api`) / `PrimeTemplate` | a plain `<ng-template>` — PrimeNG needed `pTemplate`, Material does not |
311
-
312
- `primeicons` is a separate package. Nothing in 7.0 needs it, but nothing breaks if you keep
313
- it either — `pi pi-*` class names are just a font.
314
-
315
- ### `QuillModule.forRoot()` in your root module
316
-
317
- `provideSmartNgClient()` calls `importProvidersFrom(QuillModule.forRoot())` itself — ngx-quill
318
- has no provider function, so the module is the only way to reach its root configuration. A
319
- root module that also calls it is configuring quill twice, so the codemod removes the call
320
- and its import. In a *feature* module the same call is that module's own configuration and is
321
- left alone.
322
-
323
- **Keep `ngx-quill` and `quill` in your `package.json`.** They are peer dependencies of the
324
- library — the host provides them. npm installs peers automatically, which is why hosts have
325
- got away with not declaring them, but any install that runs with `--legacy-peer-deps` drops
326
- them silently and the next build fails on an import that has always worked. Two of the twelve
327
- measured hosts were in exactly that state.
328
-
329
- **7.0 adds four peer dependencies 6.x did not have**, and they bite in a way the TypeScript
330
- errors do not prepare you for:
331
-
332
- ```bash
333
- npm install ngx-mask@^22.0.0 fast-equals@^5.0.1 wavesurfer.js@^7.9.5 @angular/youtube-player@^22.0.0
334
- ```
335
-
336
- If you install the library the normal way, npm brings these in for you. If you *swap a local
337
- build into `node_modules` by hand* — which is how you would try the library before it is
338
- published — npm never runs, so nothing installs them. The symptom arrives **after** the last
339
- TypeScript error is fixed, as five `Module not found` errors reported against the library's
340
- own `fesm2022` bundle rather than against any file of yours:
341
-
342
- ```
343
- ./node_modules/@smartbit4all/ng-client/fesm2022/smartbit4all-ng-client.mjs:7:0-60 -
344
- Error: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'ngx-mask'
345
- ```
346
-
347
- Four packages, five errors: `wavesurfer.js` is missing twice, once for its `record` plugin.
348
-
349
- - `UiActionButtonComponent.getbtnClass()` no longer emits the dead
350
- `p-button-<color>` class token — it returns only `sb4-<color>` (nothing styled
351
- `.p-button-*`; the platform button theme keys off `sb4-<color>` in
352
- `custom-theme.scss`). Hosts with their own `.p-button-<color>` overrides for
353
- sb4 action buttons should migrate them to `.sb4-<color>`.
354
- - `SmartViewContextModule` no longer imports the `primeng/api` `SharedModule`
355
- (`PrimeSharedModule`); no template in the module used `pTemplate`.
356
- - `SmartComponentLayoutModule` no longer imports `InputGroupModule` /
357
- `InputGroupAddonModule` (they were dead — no `p-inputGroup` template existed).
358
-
359
- The `ComponentLibrary` enum still exists with only its `MATERIAL` member in
360
- active use; its `PRIMENG` member and the remaining dead `ComponentLibrary.PRIMENG`
361
- code branches (icon/menu/widget components, dead `.p-*`/`.pi` CSS) are removed in
362
- a follow-up internal-cleanup step (1.10) — they are not a package dependency and
363
- do not affect hosts. `deviceInfo.componentLibrary` continues to report
364
- `material` to the backend.
365
-
366
- ### ComponentLibrary / COMPONENT_LIBRARY removed entirely (Phase 1.10)
367
-
368
- 7.0 is Material-only, so the `ComponentLibrary` abstraction (which had no second
369
- implementation once PrimeNG was gone) is deleted outright.
370
-
371
- - **Host action required:** `ComponentLibrary` (enum) and `COMPONENT_LIBRARY`
372
- (injection token) are no longer exported from `@smartbit4all/ng-client`. Hosts
373
- that provide `{ provide: COMPONENT_LIBRARY, useValue: ComponentLibrary.MATERIAL }`
374
- in their root providers must **remove that provider and its import** — it now
375
- fails to compile (no exported member). No replacement is needed; every component
376
- renders Material-only.
377
- - Every `@Inject(COMPONENT_LIBRARY)` constructor argument is gone from the library
378
- (smart-icon, click/hover tiered menu, photo-capture / voice-record widgets,
379
- smart-voice-recorder, smart-file-editor, smart-multi-file-editor, sortable
380
- widget, smart-filter-editor-content, validation-result-page, message-dialog, the
381
- dialog services `SmartdialogService` / `SmartViewContextDialogService` /
382
- `SmartViewContextErrorDialogService` / the ui-action confirm/input/file-upload
383
- dialog services, and `PdfViewerDialogService` in `@smartbit4all/document-explorer`).
384
- The `SmartdialogService` base constructor is now `(dialog, injector)` — subclasses
385
- that called `super(dialog, dialogService, injector, compLib)` keep the first and
386
- third arguments only. See [Phase 1.1](#dialog-stack-primeng-dynamicdialog--matdialog-phase-11);
387
- the codemod rewrites it.
388
- - `SmartViewContextService` no longer exposes the public `componentLibrary` field
389
- and no longer injects the token; it now writes the literal `'material'` into
390
- `deviceInfo.componentLibrary` on every view-context update (the backend keys its
391
- icon set on this string — `images-playground.properties` has `.material=` vs
392
- `.primeng=` variants — so the value keeps flowing; the DTO field is unchanged).
393
- - All dead `ComponentLibrary.PRIMENG` branches and their PrimeNG icon names
394
- (`chevron-right`, `pi pi-*`, `power-off`, `trash`, `file`, `exclamation-circle`,
395
- `play-circle`/`stop-circle`, etc.) are removed; the Material icon path is now
396
- unconditional. Dead `.p-*` / `.pi` CSS rules were purged from the library
397
- (smart-icon, smartform, smartformwidget, the file editors/uploader,
398
- ui-action-file-upload-dialog) and from the app-playground `custom-theme.scss`;
399
- the app-playground `index.html` no longer loads the `primeicons` CDN stylesheet.
400
- - After 1.10, `grep -rin primeng projects` reports a single residual: the
401
- auto-generated `deviceInfo.ts` DTO doc comment (`(Material, PrimeNg)`), which
402
- mirrors the backend OpenAPI field description and is regenerated from it — left
403
- untouched by design (the field itself is intentionally kept).
404
-
405
- ### Angular 18 hop (Phase 2, 17 → 18)
406
-
407
- The library line now builds against Angular 18. Host-relevant changes:
408
-
409
- - **Peer dependency bumps** (hosts must upgrade together with the lib):
410
- `@angular/*` `^18.0.0`, `@angular/youtube-player` `^18.2.14` (was lagging on
411
- `^16` — its `^16 || ^17` peer range breaks a strict `npm install` on Angular
412
- 18, so it can no longer lag), `ngx-quill` `^26.0.0` (the Angular 18 line;
413
- quill stays `^2.0.3`), `ngx-mask` `^18.0.0`, and — for
414
- `@smartbit4all/document-explorer` — `ngx-extended-pdf-viewer` `^21.0.0`
415
- (the 19.x/20.x lines cap their Angular peer below 18).
416
- - **`parchment` hoisting quirk (ngx-quill 26):** the ngx-quill 26 typings
417
- reference `import("parchment")`, but npm may leave `parchment` nested under
418
- `node_modules/quill/` (even after `npm dedupe`), which fails the host build
419
- with `TS2307: Cannot find module 'parchment'`. Fix: add
420
- `"parchment": "^3.0.0"` to the host devDependencies so it is hoisted to the
421
- top level (quill 2 depends on parchment 3, so versions cannot conflict).
422
- - **Material theming (M2 compat APIs):** the `ng update @angular/material@18`
423
- schematic rewrites M2 theme SCSS to the prefixed compat API
424
- (`mat.define-palette` → `mat.m2-define-palette`,
425
- `mat.$indigo-palette` → `mat.$m2-indigo-palette`,
426
- `mat.define-light-theme` → `mat.m2-define-light-theme`, …). The theme stays
427
- visually **M2** — no M3 switch happens at this hop; hosts running the
428
- schematic get this rewrite automatically.
429
- - **`HttpClientModule` deprecation:** the `ng update @angular/core@18`
430
- migration replaces `HttpClientModule` imports with
431
- `provideHttpClient(withInterceptorsFromDi())`. Not a library breaking
432
- change (the lib's generated API services were migrated internally), but
433
- hosts will get the same automatic migration in their own modules.
434
- - TypeScript requirement raised to `>=5.4` (the repo builds on 5.5).
435
-
436
- ### Angular 19 hop (Phase 2, 18 → 19)
437
-
438
- The library line now builds against Angular 19. Host-relevant changes:
439
-
440
- - **Peer dependency bumps** (hosts must upgrade together with the lib):
441
- `@angular/*` `^19.0.0`, `@angular/youtube-player` `^19.0.0`,
442
- `ngx-quill` `^27.0.0` (the Angular 19 line; quill stays `^2.0.3`),
443
- `ngx-mask` `^19.0.0`, and — for `@smartbit4all/document-explorer` —
444
- `ngx-extended-pdf-viewer` `^22.0.0` (the 21.x line caps its Angular peer
445
- below 19).
446
- - **ngx-extended-pdf-viewer 22 input rename:** the `[showScrollingButton]`
447
- input no longer exists — it is `[showScrollingButtons]` (plural,
448
- `ResponsiveVisibility`). Hosts that use `<ngx-extended-pdf-viewer>` directly
449
- must rename the binding, otherwise the template fails with NG8002.
450
- - **Standalone-by-default:** in Angular 19 components/directives/pipes are
451
- standalone unless declared otherwise. The `ng update @angular/core@19`
452
- migration automatically adds `standalone: false` to every NgModule-declared
453
- declarable in the host codebase — run it and review the (large, mechanical)
454
- diff. Declarables not referenced by any NgModule are skipped by the
455
- schematic.
456
- - **Material theming:** the `ng update @angular/material@19` schematic splits
457
- `@include mat.core()` into `@include mat.elevation-classes()` +
458
- `@include mat.app-background()`. No visual change; hosts running the
459
- schematic get this rewrite automatically.
460
- - **New NG8111 extended diagnostic** (warning): "Function in event binding
461
- should be invoked". Uninvoked event bindings like
462
- `(click)="(someCallback)"` — previously silently dead — are now flagged at
463
- build time. Warning only, the build stays green.
464
- - TypeScript requirement stays satisfied by 5.5 (Angular 19 supports
465
- TS 5.5–5.8).
466
-
467
- ### Angular 20 hop (Phase 2, 19 → 20)
468
-
469
- The library line now builds against Angular 20. Host-relevant changes:
470
-
471
- - **Peer dependency bumps** (hosts must upgrade together with the lib):
472
- `@angular/*` `^20.0.0`, `@angular/youtube-player` `^20.0.0`,
473
- `ngx-quill` `^28.0.0` (the Angular 20 line; quill stays `^2.0.3`),
474
- `ngx-mask` `^20.0.0`, and — for `@smartbit4all/document-explorer` —
475
- `ngx-extended-pdf-viewer` `^23.0.0` (the 22.x line caps its Angular peer
476
- below 20). No pdf-viewer API rename at this bump (unlike 22.x).
477
- - **TypeScript 5.9 required** (Angular 20 supports 5.8–5.9); `ng update`
478
- bumps it automatically. TS 5.9 adds **TS2872 "This kind of expression is
479
- always truthy"**, which turns previously-silent dead `||` alternatives into
480
- build errors — expect one or two in any older codebase.
481
- - **Material 20 button labels no longer set `white-space: nowrap`.** Material
482
- 20 dropped the MDC stylesheet (`@material/button`), which used to carry it.
483
- Multi-word button labels now wrap, and any rule that lets the button size to
484
- its content (the lib's `.mdc-button { height: fit-content }`) makes the
485
- button grow taller. The lib restores the pre-20 look inside
486
- `ui-action-button` (`.mdc-button__label { white-space: nowrap }`); **hosts
487
- that render Material buttons of their own must add the same rule** if they
488
- relied on single-line labels (typical symptom: a navigation bar that
489
- suddenly wraps and overflows into scroll arrows).
490
- - **Material 20 renamed the MDC-era CSS custom properties**: e.g.
491
- `--mdc-text-button-container-height` → `--mat-button-text-container-height`.
492
- The `ng update @angular/material@20` schematic rewrites the ones it finds in
493
- `.css`/`.scss` files; token names embedded in TS strings or host templates
494
- must be renamed by hand.
495
- - **`DOCUMENT` moved from `@angular/common` to `@angular/core`.** Automatic
496
- migration; `@angular/common`'s re-export is deprecated.
497
- - **`moduleResolution: "node"` → `"bundler"`** in `tsconfig.json` (and any
498
- `tsconfig.lib.json` that sets it explicitly). Automatic migration; it changes
499
- how sub-path exports resolve, so a host with hand-written `paths` entries
500
- should re-verify its build.
501
- - **Workspace generation defaults**: the CLI adds a `schematics` block to
502
- `angular.json` pinning the pre-20 file-naming style (`type: "component"`,
503
- `typeSeparator: "."`). Cosmetic — it only affects newly generated files.
504
- - Optional migrations **not** run here (deferred to the modernization phase):
505
- `use-application-builder` (esbuild), `control-flow-migration`,
506
- `router-current-navigation`.
507
- - The `InjectFlags`, `TestBed.get` → `TestBed.inject` and
508
- `provideServerRendering` migrations were no-ops for this codebase.
509
- - The NG8111 warnings introduced at the 19 hop are no longer emitted by the
510
- Angular 20 compiler (the dead bindings themselves are unchanged).
511
-
512
- ### Angular 21 hop (Phase 2, 20 → 21)
513
-
514
- The library line now builds against Angular 21. Host-relevant changes:
515
-
516
- - **Peer dependency bumps** (hosts must upgrade together with the lib):
517
- `@angular/*` `^21.0.0`, `@angular/youtube-player` `^21.0.0`,
518
- `ngx-quill` `^29.0.0` (the Angular 21 line; quill stays `^2.0.3`),
519
- `ngx-mask` `^21.0.0`, and — for `@smartbit4all/document-explorer` —
520
- `ngx-extended-pdf-viewer` `^25.0.0` (the 24.x line still caps its Angular
521
- peer below 21). No pdf-viewer API rename at this bump.
522
- - **`ngx-quill` 30.x is intentionally *not* used.** 30.x is the "zoneless"
523
- line and drops the `zone.js` peer dependency; the 7.0 lib is still
524
- zone-based. Hosts that have already gone zoneless may use 30.x, but the
525
- lib is only validated against 29.x.
526
- - **TypeScript stays 5.9** and **zone.js stays 0.15** (Angular 21 accepts
527
- `~0.15.0 || ~0.16.0`). **Node** must satisfy
528
- `^20.19.0 || ^22.12.0 || >=24.0.0`.
529
- - **`MatCommonModule` is removed from `@angular/material/core` (breaking).**
530
- It was already deprecated in Material 20 (`@breaking-change 21.0.0`). Any
531
- host NgModule that imports it will fail to compile with
532
- `Unknown reference` — and because a broken NgModule cascades, the real
533
- error usually shows up as a flood of `NG8001: '<some-component>' is not a
534
- known element` / `NG6002: … does not appear to be an NgModule class`
535
- further down the build log. **Fix: just delete the import and the array
536
- entry.** `MatCommonModule` had no template surface; it only
537
- (a) applied the `cdk-high-contrast-*` body classes — `A11yModule` still
538
- does this, and Material components that need it import `A11yModule`
539
- themselves — and (b) re-exported `BidiModule`. If your host actually uses
540
- the `Dir` directive or injects `Directionality`, import
541
- `BidiModule` from `@angular/cdk/bidi` explicitly.
542
- The lib dropped it from all 10 of its own modules.
543
- - **`provideZoneChangeDetection()` is now added at bootstrap** by the
544
- `ng update` migration, e.g.
545
- `bootstrapModule(AppModule, { applicationProviders: [provideZoneChangeDetection()] })`.
546
- This keeps zone-based change detection explicit; behaviour is unchanged.
547
- - **The control-flow migration (`*ngIf` → `@if`) now runs as a *mandatory*
548
- `ng update` migration**, not an optional one. It rewrites every structural
549
- directive in the workspace. The lib **reverted** it to keep the version hop
550
- reviewable — `NgIf`/`NgForOf`/`NgSwitch` still ship in Angular 21, so
551
- `*ngIf`/`*ngFor` keep working. Hosts may keep or revert it as they prefer;
552
- if you want it as a separate change, run
553
- `npx ng generate @angular/core:control-flow` on its own commit.
554
- - **New `NG8107` extended diagnostic** (warning): an optional chain `?.`
555
- whose left side can no longer be `null`/`undefined` under Angular 21's
556
- sharpened template inference. Warning only — expect a batch of them in any
557
- older template set.
558
- - **`tsconfig.json` loses its explicit `lib` array** (the CLI derives it from
559
- `target`). Automatic migration.
560
- - The Material and CDK v21 migration schematics made no source changes, and
561
- the `Router.lastSuccessfulNavigation` migration was a no-op. The optional
562
- `router-current-navigation` migration was not run.
563
- - The `.mdc-button__label { white-space: nowrap }` workaround introduced at
564
- the Angular 20 hop is **still required on Material 21** — the class still
565
- exists in the button template and Material still ships no `white-space`
566
- rule for it.
567
-
568
- ### Angular 22 hop (Phase 2, 21 → 22) — final hop
569
-
570
- The library line now builds against **Angular 22**. This is the biggest
571
- host-facing hop of the series: it changes the **change-detection default**, the
572
- **HTTP backend default** and the **meaning of `?.` in templates**. All three are
573
- handled by `ng update` migrations, but you must let them run.
574
-
575
- - **Peer dependency bumps** (hosts must upgrade together with the lib):
576
- `@angular/*` `^22.0.0`, `@angular/youtube-player` `^22.0.0`,
577
- `ngx-quill` `^31.0.0` (the Angular 22 line; quill stays `^2.0.3`),
578
- `ngx-mask` `^22.0.0`, and — for `@smartbit4all/document-explorer` —
579
- `ngx-extended-pdf-viewer` `^28.0.0` (25/26/27 all cap their Angular peer
580
- below 22). **No pdf-viewer API rename at this bump.**
581
- `@ngx-translate/core` `^14` still works (its peer is `>=13`).
582
- - **TypeScript must be 6.0** (`@angular/compiler-cli` peers `>=6.0 <6.1`);
583
- **zone.js stays 0.15** (`~0.15.0 || ~0.16.0`) and **rxjs is unchanged**.
584
- **Node** must satisfy `^22.22.3 || ^24.15.0 || >=26.0.0` — note the
585
- **22.22.3** floor, which is stricter than Angular 21's `^22.12.0`.
586
-
587
- #### 1. `ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush` is the new default
588
-
589
- In Angular 22 the enum is redefined: `OnPush = 0` (default), `Eager = 1`, and
590
- `Default = 1` is kept as a **deprecated alias of `Eager`**. Any component
591
- without an explicit `changeDetection` therefore switches from CheckAlways to
592
- OnPush — a real behaviour change for components that mutate their own state
593
- without signals or `markForCheck()`.
594
-
595
- An `ng update` schematic **automatically adds
596
- `changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.Eager` to every component that had
597
- none**, which keeps behaviour bit-identical. The lib took exactly this route
598
- (114 components) and did **not** opt into OnPush at this hop. Recommended host
599
- approach: let the schematic run, verify your app, and move components to OnPush
600
- deliberately afterwards.
601
-
602
- Watch out for components the schematic can skip — it only touches components it
603
- can resolve. After updating, grep for `@Component` files with no
604
- `changeDetection` and decide about each one; a component that is dynamically
605
- instantiated but never statically declared can slip through.
606
-
607
- #### 2. `provideHttpClient` now defaults to the fetch backend
608
-
609
- Angular 22 switches `HttpClient` from `XMLHttpRequest` to `fetch`. An
610
- `ng update` migration inserts **`withXhr()`** into your `provideHttpClient(...)`
611
- calls to preserve the old backend:
612
-
613
- ```ts
614
- provideHttpClient(withXhr(), withInterceptorsFromDi())
615
- ```
616
-
617
- The lib does this in `SmartViewContextModule`. **Hosts that call
618
- `provideHttpClient` themselves must do the same** (or consciously move to
619
- fetch). This matters most for **upload progress**: `reportProgress` events
620
- behave differently on the fetch backend, so if your host reports upload
621
- progress, keep `withXhr()` until you have retested it.
622
-
623
- #### 3. `?.` in templates now yields `undefined`, not `null`
624
-
625
- Angular 22's safe-navigation operator returns `undefined` where it used to
626
- return `null`. Where that difference is observable, an `ng update` migration
627
- wraps the expression in the **`$safeNavigationMigration()` compiler builtin**:
628
-
629
- ```html
630
- [ngStyle]="calcStyle($safeNavigationMigration(diagramModel?.descriptor?.style))"
631
- ```
632
-
633
- This is an official builtin (handled like `$any()` — the compiler unwraps it and
634
- the type-checker sees straight through it), not a temporary marker, so wrapped
635
- templates are safe to keep. The same `ng update` run also sets the
636
- `nullishCoalescingNotNullable` and `optionalChainNotNullable` extended
637
- diagnostics to `suppress` in your tsconfigs, which silences the `NG8107`
638
- warnings the Angular 21 hop introduced.
639
-
640
- #### 4. `ComponentFactoryResolver` is removed (breaking)
641
-
642
- `ComponentFactoryResolver` is gone and `ComponentFactory` is no longer public
643
- (it only survives as `ɵRender3ComponentFactory`). Code like this stops
644
- compiling with `TS2305` / `NG2003`:
645
-
646
- ```ts
647
- constructor(private resolver: ComponentFactoryResolver) {}
648
- ngAfterViewInit() {
649
- const factory = this.resolver.resolveComponentFactory(MyComponent);
650
- this.vcRef.createComponent(factory);
651
- }
652
- ```
653
-
654
- Replace it with the type-based overload — behaviour is identical (v22 builds the
655
- same factory internally and resolves the injector from the parent):
656
-
657
- ```ts
658
- ngAfterViewInit() {
659
- this.vcRef.createComponent(MyComponent);
660
- }
661
- ```
662
-
663
- **Public-API change in the lib:** `ComponentFactoryService` no longer exposes
664
- its `factory` field. `createComponent()` / `destroyComponent()` keep their
665
- signatures, so hosts that only call those need no change.
666
-
667
- #### 5. TypeScript 6.0 deprecates `baseUrl` and `downlevelIteration`
668
-
669
- TS 6.0 raises **`TS5101`** for both options ("deprecated and will stop
670
- functioning in TypeScript 7.0"). Two ways out:
671
-
672
- - Remove them. `downlevelIteration` is a no-op at `target: ES2022`. `baseUrl`
673
- can only go once every non-relative first-party import (`from 'projects/…'`,
674
- `from 'src/…'`) is relative or covered by a `paths` entry.
675
- - Or silence them for now with `"ignoreDeprecations": "6.0"` in
676
- `compilerOptions`. This is what the lib workspace does, because `baseUrl` is
677
- still load-bearing there. It only buys time until TS 7.
678
-
679
- #### 6. Other notes
680
-
681
- - **Material 22 removed no further modules or tokens** — the CDK and Material
682
- v22 migration schematics made no source changes. CDK 22 moves to a
683
- package `exports` map (the per-entry-point sub-directories are gone from
684
- `node_modules/@angular/cdk`), but every `@angular/cdk/*` import still
685
- resolves; this only matters if you referenced those paths on disk.
686
- - The `.mdc-button__label { white-space: nowrap }` workaround introduced at the
687
- Angular 20 hop is **still required on Material 22** — the class still appears
688
- in Material's button template and Material still ships no `white-space` rule
689
- for it.
690
- - **The control-flow migration did not re-run at this hop** (it was mandatory at
691
- 21). The lib still ships `*ngIf`/`*ngFor` templates; `NgIf`/`NgForOf`/
692
- `NgSwitch` continue to work in Angular 22.
693
- - **The webpack-based builders are deprecated.** `@angular-devkit/build-angular`
694
- now prints a notice recommending `@angular/build`. Nothing breaks yet, but
695
- plan the switch.
696
- - `strictTemplates` is on by default in v22; the lib workspace was already
697
- strict, so nothing changed. If your host was not strict, the `ng update`
698
- migration adds `"strictTemplates": false` to keep it that way.
699
-
700
- ### The third-party packages the library does *not* own (Phase 2)
701
-
702
- Every hop section above lists the library's own peer dependencies. Your host almost
703
- certainly carries packages the library never sees, and those have their own Angular
704
- peer ceilings — each one can stop a hop dead. Measured on p014 (2026-07-29), which
705
- went 17 → 22 with the library still installed:
706
-
707
- - **`@swimlane/ngx-charts` needs a ladder of its own**: `20 → 22 → 22 → 23 → 24 → 25`
708
- across the five hops. At the Angular 21 hop it peer-caps the CDK, and because
709
- `ng update`'s own `npm` step is **not** `--force`d (even when you passed `--force`
710
- to `ng update`), the install fails there while `package.json` has already been
711
- written correctly. The fix both times was to redo the install by hand, not to
712
- re-run the update. `p043` and `app-tournament` both carry ngx-charts `^20.4.1`
713
- and will hit this; `app-fitnessmirror` and `app-finance-ai` do not.
714
- - **`ngx-extended-pdf-viewer` moved to `.mjs`** at the 21 hop and stopped shipping
715
- `pdf-3.10.560-es5.min.js`. If your `angular.json` names that file under `scripts`
716
- or `assets`, the build fails on a missing file rather than on anything Angular.
717
- - **`karma` and `@angular/build`**: `@angular/build` 22 declares
718
- `peerOptional karma@^6.4.0`. A host pinned to `~6.3.0` gets a wall of
719
- `npm warn ERESOLVE overriding peer dependency` — **warnings, exit code 0**, so it
720
- is not blocking. It becomes a *hard* install failure the moment `@angular/build`
721
- is a direct devDependency rather than a nested one, which is what happened in the
722
- library workspace. `karma@~6.4.4` clears it.
723
-
724
- The general shape: **`ng update` needs `--force` at every hop** (the library and
725
- PrimeNG both peer-cap at Angular 17 until the very end), and `--force` covers the
726
- Angular schematics but not the `npm install` they trigger. When that install fails,
727
- check `package.json` before assuming the hop did nothing — it is usually already
728
- correct.
729
-
730
- ### Housekeeping (Phase 3.0)
731
-
732
- #### The dialog's built-in Ok/Cancel buttons are gone
733
-
734
- `smartdialog.component.html` no longer renders an `Ok` and a `Cancel` button.
735
- They were dead: their `(click)` handlers were the no-op expressions
736
- `(click)="(data.okCallback)"` / `(click)="(data.cancelCallback)"` — a bare
737
- property read, not a call — so pressing them did nothing, and the whole block
738
- was behind `*ngIf="!data.customComponent"`, which is never true for a host
739
- dialog (`SmartDialog.ngAfterViewInit` unconditionally instantiates
740
- `data.customComponent`).
741
-
742
- **The `okCallback` / `cancelCallback` model fields stay.** Hosts set and invoke
743
- them from their own `customComponent` dialogs, and that keeps working
744
- unchanged. Only the library-rendered buttons are gone. The `actionCallback` /
745
- `actionLabel` button — the one with a real handler (`onActionClick()`) — is
746
- untouched.
747
-
748
- Action needed: none, unless you relied on the library rendering those two
749
- buttons — in which case they never worked, and you should render them in your
750
- own dialog component.
751
-
752
- ### Full standalone + `provideSmartNgClient()` (Phase 3.2) — **the big one**
753
-
754
- This is the change that rewrites your `app.module.ts`. Everything else in this
755
- guide is small next to it.
756
-
757
- #### Every NgModule is gone
758
-
759
- The library no longer ships a single `@NgModule`. All 58 are deleted —
760
- `SmartNgClientModule`, `SmartViewContextModule`, `SmartSessionModule`,
761
- `SmartGridModule`, `SmarttableModule`, `SmarttreeModule`, `SmartdialogModule`,
762
- `SmartIconModule`, `SmartNavbarModule`, `SmartFilterModule`,
763
- `SmartFilterEditorModule`, `SmartComponentLayoutModule`,
764
- `SmartExpandableSectionModule`, `SmartMapModule`, `SmartDiagramModule`,
765
- `SmartNavigationModule`, `SmartValidationModule`, `SmartGenericPagesModule`,
766
- `ComponentFactoryServiceModule`, `SharedModule`, `SmartTabGroupModule`,
767
- `SmartDocuStoreExplorerModule` and the generated OpenAPI `ApiModule`s.
768
-
769
- Every component, directive and pipe is now **standalone**. Import the ones your
770
- templates use directly, in the component that uses them:
771
-
772
- ```ts
773
- @Component({
774
- selector: 'app-my-page',
775
- templateUrl: './my-page.component.html',
776
- imports: [SmartGridComponent, UiActionToolbarComponent, SmartEmbeddedSlotDirective],
777
- })
778
- export class MyPageComponent extends SmartComponent<MyModel> { … }
779
- ```
780
-
781
- **The compiler tells you what is missing** — one `NG8001: '<smart-grid>' is not
782
- a known element` per unresolved element, per template. Work through them; there
783
- is no guessing involved. In practice ~16 module imports become ~40 component
784
- imports spread across the components that actually use them.
785
-
786
- **The compiler does NOT tell you about the DI changes below.** Nothing fails at
787
- build time if you get those wrong; you find out on the first page load. Smoke
788
- your app.
789
-
790
- #### `provideSmartNgClient(config, ...features)` replaces the module imports
791
-
792
- ```ts
793
- bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
794
- providers: [
795
- provideAnimations(),
796
- provideRouter(ROUTES),
797
- provideSmartNgClient(
798
- {
799
- gridMenuIcon: 'more_horiz',
800
- treeMenuIcon: 'more_horiz',
801
- aclEditingViewName: Pages.ACL_MATRIX_PAGE,
802
- invalidSmartlinkPageName: Pages.INVALID_SMARTLINK_PAGE_NAME,
803
- namedValidators: [MY_VALIDATOR_FACTORY],
804
- },
805
- withSmartMap({ engine: MapEngine.LEAFLET }),
806
- withSmartDiagram({ customOptions: [MY_CHART] })
807
- ),
808
- { provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, useClass: MyLoadingInterceptor, multi: true },
809
- ],
810
- });
811
- ```
812
-
813
- The core is always wired and cannot be forgotten: session, view context, the
814
- three BFF interceptors, layout, form, grid, table, tree, dialog, icon, navbar,
815
- filter, filter editor, validation, expandable section, navigation, shared and
816
- the generic pages. That is the point — the session and header interceptors used
817
- to be easy to leave out, and leaving them out fails *silently* (no
818
- `Authorization` header).
819
-
820
- Only two features are opt-in, because they pull heavy third-party code that not
821
- every host renders: `withSmartMap()` (leaflet / Google Maps) and
822
- `withSmartDiagram()` (chart.js). There is **no `withSmartTabGroup()`** —
823
- `smart-tab-group` had no component left, only an empty module, and is deleted.
824
-
825
- `provideSmartNgClient()` calls `provideHttpClient()` itself, with
826
- `withInterceptorsFromDi()` and its own three functional interceptors, and leaves the backend
827
- on the framework default (fetch). Your own class-based `HTTP_INTERCEPTORS` keep working and
828
- still run after the library's three. Pass extra `HttpClient` features in
829
- `config.httpFeatures` rather than making a second `provideHttpClient()` call — see
830
- [HTTP](#http-the-library-no-longer-forces-the-xhr-backend-phase-38), which is also where the
831
- 6.x "do not call it twice" trap went.
832
-
833
- #### String-keyed providers become typed config fields
834
-
835
- Delete these from your providers array and pass them to `provideSmartNgClient`:
836
-
837
- | 6.x provider | 7.0 config field |
838
- |---|---|
839
- | `{ provide: 'gridMenuIcon', useValue: … }` | `gridMenuIcon` |
840
- | `{ provide: 'treeMenuIcon', useValue: … }` | `treeMenuIcon` |
841
- | `{ provide: 'searchPageName' / 'searchComponentName', … }` | `searchPageName` / `searchComponentName` |
842
- | `{ provide: 'genericPageName' / 'genericComponentName', … }` | `genericPageName` / `genericComponentName` |
843
- | `{ provide: 'subjectSelectorPageName' / 'subjectSelectorComponentName', … }` | `subjectSelectorPageName` / `subjectSelectorComponentName` |
844
- | `{ provide: 'validationResultPageName' / 'validationResultComponentName', … }` | `validationResultPageName` / `validationResultComponentName` |
845
- | `{ provide: 'noPermissionPageName' / 'noPermissionComponentName', … }` | `noPermissionPageName` / `noPermissionComponentName` |
846
- | `{ provide: 'invalidSmartlinkPageName' / 'invalidSmartlinkComponentName', … }` | `invalidSmartlinkPageName` / `invalidSmartlinkComponentName` |
847
- | `{ provide: 'aclEditingViewName', useValue: … }` | `aclEditingViewName` |
848
- | `{ provide: DIALOG_DISABLE_CLOSE, useValue: … }` | `dialogDisableClose` |
849
- | `{ provide: MAT_DATE_LOCALE, useValue: 'hu-HU' }` | `dateLocale` — **or keep the provider as it is**, which is what the codemod does; see [Dates §2](#2-leave-your-mat_date_locale-provider-alone) |
850
- | `SmartWidgetSettings.useUtc = true` (a static, not a provider) | **delete it** — the flag is gone with the moment adapter; see [Dates §4](#4-smartngclientconfiguseutcdates-is-removed) |
851
- | `{ provide: NAMED_VALIDATOR, useValue: F, multi: true }` | `namedValidators: [F]` |
852
- | `{ provide: SMART_DEFAULT_VIEW_COMPONENTS, useValue: E, multi: true }` | `defaultViewComponents: [E]` |
853
- | `SmartValidationModule.forRoot([...])` | `namedValidators` — **the element type changes**, see below |
854
- | `SmartDiagramModule.forRoot([...])` | `withSmartDiagram({ customOptions })` |
855
- | `{ provide: MAP_ENGINE, useValue: … }` | `withSmartMap({ engine })` |
856
-
857
- `'pageName'`, `'componentName'` and `'treeId'` stay as string tokens on purpose:
858
- they identify one component instance rather than configuring the library, and
859
- hosts also provide them at component level.
860
-
861
- You can also delete these from your **root** providers array — the core provides them:
862
- `SmartSessionService`, `SmartViewContextService`, `SmartNavigationService`,
863
- `SmartIconService`, `SmartFilterEditorService`, `SmartFormService`,
864
- `SmartCookieService`, `NamedValidatorService`, `ComponentFactoryService`, and the date
865
- adapter wiring (`MAT_DATE_FORMATS`, `DateAdapter`).
866
-
867
- ⚠️ **`namedValidators` takes factories, not providers.** `SmartValidationModule.forRoot()`
868
- took `Provider[]`, so hosts wrote the wrapper by hand:
869
-
870
- ```ts
871
- // 6.x — validator.factories.ts
872
- export const VALIDATOR_PROVIDER_EMPTY_INPUT: Provider = {
873
- provide: NAMED_VALIDATOR, useValue: VALIDATOR_FACTORY_EMPTY_INPUT, multi: true,
874
- };
875
- // app.module.ts
876
- imports: [SmartValidationModule.forRoot([VALIDATOR_PROVIDER_EMPTY_INPUT])]
877
- ```
878
-
879
- `provideSmartNgClient()` adds that wrapper itself, so the config takes the bare
880
- `ValidatorFactory[]`. Export the factories and pass those:
881
-
882
- ```ts
883
- // 7.0
884
- export const VALIDATOR_FACTORY_EMPTY_INPUT: ValidatorFactory = { … };
885
- provideSmartNgClient({ namedValidators: [VALIDATOR_FACTORY_EMPTY_INPUT] })
886
- ```
887
-
888
- The codemod moves the argument into the config and **reports it**, because the entries are
889
- normally named constants declared in another file and only you know what each one wraps. If
890
- you miss the note, `TS2322: Type 'Provider' is not assignable to type 'ValidatorFactory'`
891
- lands on every element.
892
-
893
- ⚠️ **The same line on a `@Component` is not the same thing.**
894
- `providers: [SmartFilterEditorService]` on a page component asks for one instance *per page*,
895
- which is usually deliberate — p014 does it in five components. Leave those alone; the codemod
896
- does.
897
-
898
- #### The module → standalone mapping
899
-
900
- What each `Smart*Module` used to export, reduced to what 7.0 still exports publicly. An
901
- NgModule's `imports:` array accepts standalone components, so this substitution is all a host
902
- that is still NgModule-based needs to keep compiling — the codemod performs it.
903
-
904
- | 6.x module | 7.0 imports |
905
- |---|---|
906
- | `SmartNgClientModule` | the union of the fourteen it re-exported (everything below except the generic pages, the filter editor, the map and the diagram) — trim it to what your templates use |
907
- | `SmartComponentLayoutModule` | `SmartComponentLayoutComponent` |
908
- | `SmartViewContextModule` | `UiActionToolbarComponent`, `UiActionButtonComponent`, `UiActionDialogButtonComponent`, `SmartformComponent`, `SmartfileuploaderComponent`, `SmartFileEditorComponent`, `SmartMultiFileEditorComponent`, `SmartVoiceRecorderComponent`, `SmartEmbeddedSlotDirective`, `HighlightPipe` |
909
- | `SmartGridModule` | `SmartGridComponent` |
910
- | `SmarttreeModule` | `SmartTreeComponent` |
911
- | `SmartdialogModule` | `SmartDialog` |
912
- | `SmartIconModule` | `SmartIconComponent`, `UiBadgeComponent`, `UiBadgeDirective` |
913
- | `SmartNavbarModule` | `SmartNavbarComponent` |
914
- | `SmartFilterModule` | `SmartFilterComponent` |
915
- | `SmartFilterEditorModule` | `SmartFilterEditorContentComponent` |
916
- | `SmartExpandableSectionModule` | `ExpandableSectionComponent` |
917
- | `SmartSessionModule` | `SmartSessionTimerComponent` |
918
- | `SmartGenericPagesModule` | `SearchPageComponent`, `GenericPageComponent`, `SubjectSelectorComponent`, `InvalidSmartlinkComponent` |
919
- | `SmartMapModule` | `SmartMapComponent` + `withSmartMap({ engine })` |
920
- | `SmartDiagramModule` | `SmartDiagramComponent` + `withSmartDiagram({ customOptions })` |
921
- | `SharedModule` | `SmartTooltipDirective`, `SmartDatePipe`, `SmartDateTimePipe`, `SmartTimePipe` |
922
- | `SmartValidationModule` | nothing — `forRoot()`'s validators become `namedValidators` |
923
- | `SmarttableModule` | nothing — `SmarttableComponent` is no longer public; render a `<smart-grid>` |
924
- | `SmartNavigationModule`, `ComponentFactoryServiceModule` | nothing — they only carried services, which the core provides |
925
- | `SmartTabGroupModule` | nothing — deleted; it had no component left |
926
- | `SmartDocuStoreExplorerModule` (`@smartbit4all/document-explorer`) | `SmartDocuStoreExplorerComponent`, `FolderContentComponent`, `PdfViewerDialogPageComponent` |
927
-
928
- Two things this table will not tell you, and the compiler will not either: an import you no
929
- longer need is invisible (unused entries in an NgModule `imports:` array are not reported),
930
- and a name you already bind from elsewhere — a `SmartDatePipe` of your own — must not be
931
- imported twice. The codemod reports both cases rather than guessing.
932
-
933
- #### Your `SmartComponent` subclasses silently become OnPush
934
-
935
- This is an **Angular 22 fact rather than something 7.0.0 introduces**, but it
936
- lands on you at the same moment, so it is worth stating plainly: `SmartComponent`
937
- is an abstract `@Component`, and each of your subclasses carries its own
938
- `@Component` decorator. On Angular 22 a component without an explicit
939
- `changeDetection` gets the new `OnPush` default. p014 has 75 such subclasses,
940
- p043 has 70.
941
-
942
- Let the `ng update` schematic add `changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.Eager`
943
- to all of them (that is what the library did), verify your app, and move to
944
- OnPush deliberately afterwards. A subclass that mutates its own state outside a
945
- signal and without `markForCheck()` will stop repainting under OnPush.
946
-
947
- #### Removed from the public API
948
-
949
- A major is the only chance to narrow the surface, so these are no longer
950
- exported. All of them are library internals; none is used by p014, p043,
951
- app-formmate or `@smartbit4all/document-explorer`:
952
-
953
- - `SmarttableComponent`, `SmarttableService` — use `<smart-grid>`, which renders
954
- the table internally. **All `SmartTable*` model types stay** (`SmartTableType`,
955
- `SmartTableInterfaceTypeEnum`, `SmartTableHeader`, …). p043 imports
956
- `SmarttableComponent` in `ad-groups.component.ts` but never uses it — delete
957
- that one import line.
958
- - `GoogleMap`, `LeafletMap`, `AbstractMap` — select an engine with
959
- `withSmartMap({ engine })`.
960
- - `SmartFilterParamComponent`, `SmartFilterParamsComponent`,
961
- `SmartFilterExpressionItemComponent`, `SmartFilterExpressionItemsComponent` —
962
- internals of `SmartFilterEditorContentComponent`, which stays public.
963
- - `HoverMenuComponent`, `ClickMenuComponent` — rendered by the ui-action toolbar.
964
- - `UiActionConfirmDialogComponent`, `UiActionInputDialogComponent` — opened by
965
- their services, which stay public.
966
- - `UploadWidgetComponent`, `PhotoCaptureWidgetComponent`,
967
- `VoiceRecordWidgetComponent` — contents of the ui-action upload dialog.
968
- - `SmartNgClientService` — deleted; it was an empty stub with no members.
969
- - The generated `ApiModule`s — they had no usages and their `forRoot()` told you
970
- to import `HttpClientModule`, which no longer applies.
971
-
972
- Two internal string tokens are gone as well, replaced by real `InjectionToken`s
973
- (`'confirmDialogService'`, `'textFieldDialogService'`, `'fileUploadDialogService'`).
974
- No host provided them, so no action is needed.
975
-
976
- #### Behaviour notes
977
-
978
- - `<mat-slide-toggle>` in the form widget no longer carries a `value` binding,
979
- `<mat-nested-tree-node>` no longer carries an interpolated `matTreeNodeToggle`,
980
- and the ui-action menus no longer carry `[subActions]`. All four were dead
981
- bindings that the NgModules' `CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA` had been hiding — they
982
- wrote a DOM property nobody read. Rendering is unchanged.
983
- - The dead `ExpandableGridComponent` is deleted (it was declared in
984
- `SmartGridModule` but its selector was used nowhere).
985
-
986
- ### Widget ↔ SmartComponent: the model routing is inverted (Phase 3.4)
987
-
988
- A widget no longer waits to be collected by the screen component it lives in: it finds its
989
- `SmartComponentApiClient` through DI and registers itself. `SmartComponent` carries the
990
- channel as an inherited host directive, so **no host component has to be changed for the
991
- routing itself** — everything below is the *legacy surface* that went with the old
992
- collection path. The protocol is written up in `WIDGETS.md` next to this file; the decision
993
- record behind it is ADR-0005 in the `platform-angular2` working copy.
994
-
995
- #### What a host must delete (all of it mechanical, all reported by the compiler)
996
-
997
- | Delete | Why |
998
- |---|---|
999
- | `this.useQueryLists = true;` | The property is gone. Its setter rejected anything but `true`, so every branch behind it was unreachable — this was a no-op that logged a warning. |
1000
- | `[parentSmartComponent]="this"` on `<smart-component-layout>` | The input is gone; the layout injects the client. `strictTemplates` reports leftovers as **NG8002**. |
1001
- | `this.addForm(id, smartForm, formComponent)` | Gone. A `<smartform>` that displays the client's model registers itself. Two call styles existed; where the return value was used, it was the `smartForm` argument — use that (which makes those lines self-assignments, so they just go). **Delete the scaffolding around the call too**: in p014 the 21 calls left behind 9 empty `if (this.formX) { }` guards and 3 `new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 500)).then(() => { })` wrappers whose only content had been the registration. The compiler does not complain about either. |
1002
- | `this.widgets.delete(…)` / `this.widgets.set(…)` / `this.formWidgets…` | The maps are gone (they were only written by the legacy path and read by nothing). |
1003
- | the 4th argument of `addGrid(smartGrid, options, useAsDefaultGrid, componentReference)` | `addGrid()` keeps the options and the default-grid role; the services it used to copy into the grid model (`uiActionService`, `uiActionDescriptorService`, `serviceToUse`, `viewContextService`) are the grid's own DI job now. |
1004
- | `override getSmartXxxQL()` (e.g. the two `throw new Error` overrides in a `FilterPageService`) | The eight abstract getters are gone from `SmartComponentApiClient`. |
1005
- | `this.getSmartGridsQL()` and friends | If a component really wants its own widgets, it declares the view query itself: `@ViewChildren(SmartGridComponent) grids!: QueryList<SmartGridComponent>` — same reach as the removed getter had. |
1006
- | `handleDataChangeSubscriptions()` | Gone. A form publishes its own value-change keys when it constructs. |
1007
-
1008
- Removed from the public API in the same step, in case a host imported them directly:
1009
- `SmartComponentLayoutUtility` and its `EmbeddedSlotInfo` interface (the whole file — its
1010
- collectors walked the layout tree for widgets, which nothing does now), and the `[parent]`
1011
- inputs of `<smart-map>` / `<smart-diagram>` (they were bound to `parentSmartComponent` and read
1012
- by nothing; both widgets resolve the client themselves). `initActions()` also runs less often:
1013
- only when the model or its action list changes, no longer after every layout render, grid view
1014
- init and filter model change — a host override that relied on one of those extra calls has to
1015
- key off `dataChanged` instead.
1016
-
1017
- The [codemod](#migrating-a-host-the-codemod) deletes the first two rows and the last one, and
1018
- lists the rest — `addForm()`, the 4th `addGrid()` argument, the getter overrides — with their
1019
- line numbers, because each of those is a small decision rather than a substitution.
1020
-
1021
- #### What stays
1022
-
1023
- - `SmartService` — a view-less client. Its `@ViewChildren` never populated anyway; they are
1024
- simply gone now.
1025
- - `initActions()` — still the hook a host overrides to build its own action list. The base
1026
- implementation only asks for a render; toolbars pull their actions themselves.
1027
- - `setUpDefaultTree()` / `createTreeService()`, `addGrid()`, `submitForms()`,
1028
- `getInvalidFields()`, `uiActionModels` (now a getter over the model's actions).
1029
-
1030
- #### `uiActionModels` is read-only now — assigning to it no longer compiles
1031
-
1032
- It became a getter over the `actionModels` computed, so a host that *replaced* the list in
1033
- place gets `TS2540: Cannot assign to 'uiActionModels' because it is a read-only property`.
1034
- Measured in **p014 and p043**, `document-storage-editor.component.ts`:
1035
-
1036
- ```ts
1037
- // before — no longer compiles
1038
- this.uiActionModels = this.uiActionModels.filter((a) => a.uiAction.code !== 'CANCEL');
1039
-
1040
- // after — filter into a field of your own and bind it
1041
- protected readonly visibleActions = signal<UiActionModel[]>([]);
1042
- // …
1043
- this.visibleActions.set(this.uiActionModels.filter((a) => a.uiAction.code !== 'CANCEL'));
1044
- ```
1045
-
1046
- ```html
1047
- <smart-ui-action-toolbar [uiActionModels]="visibleActions()"></smart-ui-action-toolbar>
1048
- ```
1049
-
1050
- A plain field works just as well; what matters is that the **array reference changes**, which
1051
- is what tells the toolbar to re-render. See also the entry-freeze note in the Phase 3.7
1052
- section.
1053
-
1054
- #### Behavioural deltas, accepted
1055
-
1056
- - **Wider reach.** A widget in a host's *own* sub-component now participates, where a view
1057
- query could not see it (measured on p014/p043: 5 toolbars and 3–4 forms per host). A form
1058
- takes part only if it displays the client's component model, which is what the forms the
1059
- queries used to find have in common; a form that renders something else of its own (a
1060
- search box, a field editor) does not.
1061
- - Two widgets sharing one identifier both reload; the old map kept only the last.
1062
- - `getInvalidFields()` collects in subscription order rather than view order — visible only
1063
- in the order of the names in the validation dialog.
1064
- - A toolbar entry is tracked by a synthesized key (action code + ordinal among entries with
1065
- the same code), so a button's DOM node — with its focus and ripple — follows its action
1066
- across reordering. Rendering is otherwise identical.
1067
-
1068
- #### `[smartComponentDetached]`
1069
-
1070
- The one brake on the automatic registration. Put it on an element whose subtree deliberately
1071
- renders something other than the client's model; widgets below it resolve an empty slot and
1072
- neither reload nor take part in submit/validation.
1073
-
1074
- ```html
1075
- <div smartComponentDetached>
1076
- <smart-grid [smartGrid]="ownGrid" [uuid]="ownUuid"></smart-grid>
1077
- </div>
1078
- ```
1079
-
1080
- #### `SmartSubject` is deleted
1081
-
1082
- It was a no-op wrapper over `Subject`: `subscription.add(this.unsubscribe$.subscribe())`
1083
- registers the teardown in the wrong direction, so after `destroy$.next()`, `.complete()` or
1084
- `.unsubscribe()` subscribers still received values. Replace `new SmartSubject(destroy$)`
1085
- with `new Subject()`; where a subscription really must die with a component, use
1086
- `takeUntil(this._destroy$)` (which is what actually stopped delivery all along) or
1087
- `takeUntilDestroyed()`. No host used it.
1088
-
1089
- ### Toolbars resolve their own actions and own the execution context (Phase 3.5)
1090
-
1091
- One rule decides which actions a toolbar shows, and the toolbar — not each list entry —
1092
- says who performs them. `WIDGETS.md`, *Toolbars*, is the short version; the decision record
1093
- behind it is ADR-0006 in the `platform-angular2` working copy.
1094
-
1095
- > A toolbar renders the actions **addressed to its `id`** (`uiAction.toolbar == id`). The
1096
- > list comes from an explicit `[uiActionModels]` binding if there is one, otherwise from the
1097
- > screen component above it in the DOM. **Without an `id` it never pulls** — "unaddressed" is
1098
- > not an address, so a toolbar with neither an id nor a binding shows nothing.
1099
-
1100
- `[uiActionModels]="uiActionModels"` therefore keeps meaning "put my page's unaddressed
1101
- actions here" and needs no change.
1102
-
1103
- #### `UseUiAction` is deleted; `UseUiAction2` is now `UiActionExecutor`
1104
-
1105
- There is one executor interface. If a host class implements `UseUiAction` — a `submit` /
1106
- `reSubscribeToChange` subject handshake — replace the two subjects with the two methods:
1107
-
1108
- ```ts
1109
- // before
1110
- export class DelegateInboxDialogService implements UseUiAction {
1111
- submit: Subject<void> = new Subject();
1112
- reSubscribeToChange: Subject<void> = new Subject();
1113
- …
1114
- }
1115
-
1116
- // after
1117
- export class DelegateInboxDialogService implements UiActionExecutor {
1118
- submitForm(validate: boolean): void {
1119
- this.submit.next(); // keep the subject if a component subscribes to it
1120
- }
1121
- getInvalidFields(): SmartFormInvalidFields {
1122
- return { invalidFieldKeys: [], invalidFieldNames: [] };
1123
- }
1124
- …
1125
- }
1126
- ```
1127
-
1128
- `Subject.next()` is synchronous, so a component that subscribed to `submit` has already run
1129
- by the time `submitForm()` returns — which is exactly what the old handshake tried to
1130
- express. Keep `reSubscribeToChange` only if something subscribes to it; the library no longer
1131
- fires it.
1132
-
1133
- This also **fixes a silent hang**: the old branch `await`ed `submit.toPromise()`, which only
1134
- settles when somebody `complete()`s the subject. Three of the five implementors never did, so
1135
- a `submit`/`model` action on those services waited forever.
1136
-
1137
- #### `UiActionService.execute()` lost its first argument
1138
-
1139
- It was always `uiActionModel.uiAction`:
1140
-
1141
- ```ts
1142
- - this.uiActionService.execute(uiActionModel.uiAction, uiActionModel);
1143
- + this.uiActionService.execute(uiActionModel);
1144
- ```
1145
-
1146
- #### The execution context moved from the entry to the toolbar
1147
-
1148
- | what | bind on the toolbar | entry field (still honoured) |
1149
- |---|---|---|
1150
- | who performs the action | `[executor]` | `serviceToUse` — **deprecated** |
1151
- | which widget it runs against | `[widgetId]` | `widgetId` — **deprecated**, wins if set |
1152
- | which row inside it | `[nodeId]` | `nodeId` — **deprecated**, wins if set |
1153
- | extra params for every action | `[actionParams]` | (clone the `UiAction` — no longer necessary) |
1154
-
1155
- `[executor]` defaults to the screen component the toolbar sits under, which is what almost
1156
- every entry named. Bind it only when the actions belong to another API — a tree service, a
1157
- filter editor, a dialog service of your own:
1158
-
1159
- ```html
1160
- <smart-ui-action-toolbar [uiActionModels]="actions" [executor]="myService"></smart-ui-action-toolbar>
1161
- ```
1162
-
1163
- `[actionParams]` replaces cloning a `UiAction` per row just to inject a model:
1164
-
1165
- ```html
1166
- <smart-ui-action-toolbar
1167
- [uiActionModels]="rowActions"
1168
- [widgetId]="gridId"
1169
- [nodeId]="row.id"
1170
- [actionParams]="{ model: row }"
1171
- ></smart-ui-action-toolbar>
1172
- ```
1173
-
1174
- #### Removed from the public API
1175
-
1176
- | Removed | Replacement |
1177
- |---|---|
1178
- | `UseUiAction` | `UiActionExecutor` (see above) |
1179
- | the third `SmartTable` constructor parameter and `getServiceToUse()` | nothing — the executor no longer travels through the table (0 host call sites) |
1180
- | `SmartformComponent.getToolbars()` | nothing collects toolbars any more; each one resolves its own actions |
1181
- | `ISmartFilterEditorService.get/setComplexToolbars()` and the `submit` / `reSubscribeToChange` members | as above |
1182
- | `FileEditorToolbarComponent` | a plain `<smart-ui-action-toolbar>` with `[actionParams]` |
1183
- | `SmartGridComponent.setupToolbar()` / `.toolbar` / `.headerToolbar` | the id is a binding; there is nothing to reach into |
1184
-
1185
- #### Behavioural deltas, accepted
1186
-
1187
- - A widget renders a toolbar exactly when its model carries a `toolbarId`, with no type list.
1188
- A `toolbarId` on a type whose template has no place for a toolbar (`RECORDING_UPLOADER`)
1189
- now logs a warning instead of being silently dropped.
1190
- - Only the actions a toolbar actually shows are scheduled. Since 3.4 a toolbar armed every
1191
- scheduled action of the view, so one action could fire from several toolbars at once.
1192
- - A grid row's actions are no longer cloned per row; the row model travels as
1193
- `[actionParams]`. The multi-file editor's per-file toolbars appear when their own list
1194
- resolves rather than when a hidden sibling's did, and the tree's `doAction` clones instead
1195
- of mutating the caller's `UiAction`.
1196
-
1197
- ### The form widget's rendering decisions (Phase 3.6)
1198
-
1199
- Nothing here needs a code change in a host — there is no API to adapt to. What
1200
- changes is what the widget puts on the page, so read this before you compare
1201
- screenshots.
1202
-
1203
- #### Every widget carried a spare empty wrapper; it is gone
1204
-
1205
- The `COMPONENT` branch's wrapper had no type guard, so
1206
- `<div class="widgetContainer"><div class="widgetContent"><ng-template
1207
- #customComponent>` rendered after **every** widget of every type. Measured on the
1208
- playground: 14 widgets, 28 `.widgetContainer` — one spare, empty, per widget.
1209
-
1210
- The library's own CSS puts no box properties on `.widgetContainer`, so most pages
1211
- will look identical. **Yours may not**, if you style that class with anything that
1212
- occupies space. Both in-house hosts do, on one page:
1213
-
1214
- ```css
1215
- /* p014 + p043, dossier-publication.component.css */
1216
- :host ::ng-deep .widgetContainer { margin-bottom: 0.5rem !important; }
1217
- ```
1218
-
1219
- There, every widget loses half a rem of trailing space. Grep your stylesheets for
1220
- `.widgetContainer` and check the pages the matching selectors reach. Rules that
1221
- need content still match what they always matched — an empty wrapper never
1222
- satisfied `.label.widgetContainer` or `.widgetContainer:has(…)`.
1223
-
1224
- #### `MATRIX` and `YOUTUBE_PLAYER` now obey `isVisible` and get their `cssClass`
1225
-
1226
- Those two branches sat outside the `@if (isVisible)` guard and outside the
1227
- `<div [ngClass]="cssClass" class="container">` every other type lives in, so
1228
- `isVisible: false` did not hide them and `cssClass` never reached them. Both are
1229
- inside now. If a backend view relies on a matrix rendering while marked invisible,
1230
- it will stop rendering.
1231
-
1232
- #### A container keeps its invisible children
1233
-
1234
- A `CONTAINER` widget's `ngOnInit` used to overwrite `widgetInstance.valueList`
1235
- with the visible subset, destroying the invisible children in the model the
1236
- backend sent. The visible subset is derived per check now, so the model stays
1237
- whole and a later `applyConstraints()` that flips a child's `isVisible` brings it
1238
- back — which it could not before. The DOM is unchanged: the same children render.
1239
-
1240
- Side effect worth knowing: the model walks that recurse into a container's
1241
- `valueList` (`applyComponentConstraints`, `copyValueFromFormToWidgetBeans`,
1242
- `translateWidgets`) now see the invisible children too. Their form controls always
1243
- existed — `createFormControls` runs over the whole model before any widget renders
1244
- — so this only makes the widget beans agree with the controls.
1245
-
1246
- #### A YouTube shorts link resolves
1247
-
1248
- `parseYoutubeUrl` threw away its own `replace('/shorts/', '/watch?v=')`, so a
1249
- shorts link produced no player. It plays now.
1250
-
1251
- #### Removed from the public API
1252
-
1253
- | Removed | Replacement |
1254
- |---|---|
1255
- | `SmartformwidgetComponent` | nothing — no host imported the class; `<smartform>` still renders it. 7.1 splits it into per-type components |
1256
- | `SmartWidgetSettings` (its only member was `static useUtc`) | nothing — **delete the assignment** |
1257
-
1258
- 3.6 moved the `useUtc` static into `SmartNgClientConfig.useUtcDates`; **3.8 then removed the
1259
- field altogether**, together with the moment adapter it fed. If you set
1260
- `SmartWidgetSettings.useUtc = true` before bootstrap, delete that line and read
1261
- [Dates §4](#4-smartngclientconfiguseutcdates-is-removed) — the timezone contract is fixed now,
1262
- and the flag defaulted to `false` everywhere anyway.
1263
-
1264
- #### What deliberately did not change
1265
-
1266
- A required field is marked in both label positions, by two different mechanisms:
1267
- a shown label (`showLabel: true`) is the widget's own `<h4>` and carries a literal
1268
- ` *`; a `mat-label` sits inside a `mat-form-field`, which renders
1269
- `.mat-mdc-form-field-required-marker` from the control's own validators. That is
1270
- why `getWidgetLabel` ties its asterisk to `showLabel` — dropping the condition
1271
- would mark the floating label twice.
1272
-
1273
- ### Change detection: frozen action entries, no zone.js (Phase 3.7)
1274
-
1275
- 7.0 runs without zone.js. Every component of the library is `OnPush` — nothing is checked
1276
- just because something, somewhere, ticked — and the library says when its own state changed.
1277
- Two consequences reach a host.
1278
-
1279
- #### A `UiActionModel` is frozen: build an entry, never edit one
1280
-
1281
- Every field is `readonly`, and `[uiActionModels]` takes `readonly UiActionModel[]`.
1282
-
1283
- ```ts
1284
- // before — compiles on 6.x, and on 7.0 changes nothing on screen
1285
- entry.cssClass = 'active-nav-action';
1286
-
1287
- // after
1288
- this.actions = this.actions.map((a) =>
1289
- a.uiAction.code === code ? { ...a, cssClass: 'active-nav-action' } : a
1290
- );
1291
- ```
1292
-
1293
- Measured across the 12 hosts in scope (2026-07-28): **72 sites in 7 hosts**, all of them
1294
- `cssClass` — p009-angular alone has 38, p014 and p043 12 each. The codemod prints every one
1295
- of them with its line number; it cannot rewrite them, because only you know which array the
1296
- entry belongs to.
1297
-
1298
- The compile error and the fix are the same thing. Writing into an entry that a toolbar is
1299
- already rendering never reached the screen under zone.js either — it worked only because
1300
- some other event happened to tick the application. Rebuilding the array is what actually
1301
- re-renders.
1302
-
1303
- **The gap this does not close.** `this.actions[0] = { ...this.actions[0], cssClass: 'x' }`
1304
- compiles: `actions` is your field, and the freeze only covers the entries. It keeps the same
1305
- array reference, so the toolbar does not re-render. Reassign the array — or, if you hold it
1306
- in a `signal`, `update()` it.
1307
-
1308
- The descriptor a toolbar resolves is no longer written back into the entry either. Nothing
1309
- outside the toolbar read it; if you did, resolve it yourself through
1310
- `UiActionDescriptorService.getActionDescriptor(uiAction)` — which is
1311
- [synchronous in 7.0](#getactiondescriptor-is-synchronous-phase-39).
1312
-
1313
- #### Client-side translation is gone
1314
-
1315
- `SmartTranslateService`, `viewContext.translateService` and the `translateServiceChanged`
1316
- subject are removed, together with `originalLabel` / `originalPlaceholder` on the widget
1317
- interfaces. No measured host assigned any of them — the three references in p014/p043 were
1318
- unused imports — and the backend localizes server-side.
1319
-
1320
- What the frontend authors itself is now configuration:
1321
-
1322
- ```ts
1323
- provideSmartNgClient({
1324
- errorDialog: { title: 'Hiba', message: 'Váratlan hiba történt.', buttonLabel: 'Rendben' },
1325
- });
1326
- ```
1327
-
1328
- `SmartViewContextService.getSmartViewContextApiErrorByCode()` is no longer `async`.
1329
-
1330
- #### If your host still bootstraps with zone.js
1331
-
1332
- Nothing forces you to drop it — the library works either way, because it no longer depends
1333
- on an application-wide tick. The playground runs `provideZonelessChangeDetection()` with no
1334
- `zone.js` polyfill, and that is the configuration 7.0 is tested in.
1335
-
1336
- If you do go zoneless, the same rule applies to your own components: state written from a
1337
- subscription, a promise or a timer needs a signal or a `markForCheck()`; state written from a
1338
- template event or an input does not.
1339
-
1340
- ### Dates: moment → date-fns, and the timezone contract (Phase 3.8)
1341
-
1342
- **This section needs action at install time.** The reasoning is ADR-0008 in the
1343
- `platform-angular2` working copy; the contract itself is stated in §4 below.
1344
-
1345
- #### 1. Swap the peer dependency
1346
-
1347
- `@angular/material-moment-adapter` is out of the library's `peerDependencies`;
1348
- `@angular/material-date-fns-adapter` and `date-fns` are in. `date-fns` is listed explicitly
1349
- rather than left transitive, because the library imports `date-fns/locale` itself.
1350
-
1351
- ```bash
1352
- npm uninstall @angular/material-moment-adapter moment
1353
- npm install @angular/material-date-fns-adapter@^22.0.0 date-fns@^4
1354
- ```
1355
-
1356
- If your own code imports moment for something unrelated, keep it — nothing here forces its
1357
- removal, only the adapter's.
1358
-
1359
- **But check *how* it imports moment.** `import * as moment from 'moment'` stops being callable
1360
- under `moduleResolution: "bundler"`, which the Angular 20 hop turns on: moment is an
1361
- `export =` module, and a namespace import of one is not a callable value. The symptom is
1362
- **`TS2349: This expression is not callable`** on every `moment(...)` call, and it arrives at the
1363
- Angular 20 hop rather than at this step. Two ways out:
1364
-
1365
- - `esModuleInterop: true` plus `import moment from 'moment'` — correct, but it changes how every
1366
- CommonJS import in the app resolves, which is a wide blast radius for one file.
1367
- - Replace the calls. Worth checking first how much moment is actually doing: in p014 the three
1368
- surviving calls were `moment(new Date()).toDate()` (i.e. `new Date()`) and two moments compared
1369
- with `<=` (`Date` compares through `valueOf()` identically). All three became plain `Date`s, and
1370
- **nothing under `src/` imported moment any more** — so the `npm uninstall … moment` above was
1371
- right for that host after all, just for a reason nobody predicted.
1372
-
1373
- #### 2. Leave your `MAT_DATE_LOCALE` provider alone
1374
-
1375
- If you have this line — p014 and p043 both do — **keep it as it is**:
1376
-
1377
- ```ts
1378
- { provide: MAT_DATE_LOCALE, useValue: 'hu-HU' },
1379
- ```
1380
-
1381
- The strict reading of the date-fns adapter would require a `Locale` **object** here, and a bare
1382
- string would throw inside date-fns the first time a user opened a date field. The library's
1383
- `SmartDateFnsAdapter` accepts both: it resolves `'hu'` / `'hu-HU'` / `'en'` / `'en-US'`
1384
- (case-insensitively) to a date-fns locale, passes a real `Locale` object through untouched, and
1385
- falls back to Hungarian with a `console.warn` for anything else.
1386
-
1387
- So: **hosts on Hungarian or English need no change.** For any other language, provide a real
1388
- date-fns locale:
1389
-
1390
- ```ts
1391
- import { de } from 'date-fns/locale';
1392
- …
1393
- { provide: MAT_DATE_LOCALE, useValue: de },
1394
- ```
1395
-
1396
- `SmartNgClientConfig.dateLocale` is unchanged — still a `string`, still defaulting to `'hu-HU'`.
1397
-
1398
- #### 3. If you override `MAT_DATE_FORMATS`, your format strings will throw — and you probably want to delete the override
1399
-
1400
- Measured across 12 hosts on 2026-07-28: three of them (**p014**, **p043**, **p009-angular**)
1401
- provide their own formats next to the locale, and two more (`app-vlab`, `app-tournament`) have the
1402
- same line commented out:
1403
-
1404
- ```ts
1405
- { provide: MAT_DATE_FORMATS, useValue: MY_FORMATS },
1406
- ```
1407
-
1408
- with
1409
-
1410
- ```ts
1411
- export const MY_FORMATS = {
1412
- parse: { dateInput: 'YYYY.MM.DD' },
1413
- display: { dateInput: 'YYYY.MM.DD', monthYearLabel: 'YYYY',
1414
- dateA11yLabel: 'LL', monthYearA11yLabel: 'YYYY' },
1415
- };
1416
- ```
1417
-
1418
- Those are **moment tokens**. date-fns treats `YYYY`, `DD`, `YY` and `D` as *protected* and throws a
1419
- `RangeError` on them, and its `LL` means something else entirely (stand-alone month, not a
1420
- localized long date). So this override **crashes at runtime, on the first screen with a date
1421
- field** — the same failure shape as the string locale above, and just as invisible to the compiler.
1422
-
1423
- **The fix is almost certainly deletion.** That `MY_FORMATS` exists to render `YYYY.MM.DD`, which is
1424
- exactly what the library's own `SMART_DATE_FORMATS` now produces (`2026.07.28.`). Drop the
1425
- provider and the constant and you get the format you wanted, plus the more forgiving parsing.
1426
-
1427
- If you genuinely need a different format, translate the tokens rather than copying them:
1428
-
1429
- | moment | date-fns |
1430
- |---|---|
1431
- | `YYYY` | `yyyy` |
1432
- | `DD` | `dd` |
1433
- | `LL` | `PP` (or spell it out: `yyyy. MMMM d.`) |
1434
- | `MMM YYYY` | `yyyy. LLL` |
1435
-
1436
- Note that the library's `parse.dateInput` is an **array** — `DateFnsAdapter._parse` tries each entry
1437
- in turn (and ISO-8601 first), so you can list several accepted spellings instead of one.
1438
-
1439
- #### 4. `SmartNgClientConfig.useUtcDates` is removed
1440
-
1441
- Delete it if you set it. No known host does. It existed for a client-configurable timezone that
1442
- was abandoned as a requirement; the contract is now fixed and explicit:
1443
-
1444
- > **The browser's zone on screen. Zulu (`…Z`) on the wire. The server converts.**
1445
-
1446
- This is unchanged behaviour in practice — `useUtcDates` defaulted to `false`, and the moment
1447
- adapter with `useUtc: false` behaves exactly like a plain `Date`.
1448
-
1449
- #### 5. What a date widget's value now *is*
1450
-
1451
- Form control values from the date pickers are plain **`Date`** objects, where they were
1452
- `Moment` objects. The values reach your backend through a `UiActionRequest` param, so the wire
1453
- format is `JSON.stringify` of that value — and `Date.toJSON()` emits the same ISO-8601 UTC string
1454
- `Moment.toJSON()` did. **Nothing changes on the wire.** Only host code that read a value out of a
1455
- form control and called a moment method on it (`.format()`, `.add()`, `.startOf()`) needs
1456
- rewriting; the platform APIs never exposed a `Moment` in a signature.
1457
-
1458
- #### 6. The one visible difference
1459
-
1460
- Date inputs render **`2026.07.28.`** where 6.x rendered `2026.7.28.` — the documented `YYYY.MM.DD`
1461
- convention. The old rendering was not a decision: `MAT_MOMENT_DATE_FORMATS` used moment's `'l'`,
1462
- which strips the zero padding off the Hungarian `L`. Typed input is **more** forgiving than 6.x,
1463
- not less: `2026.07.28.`, `2026.07.28`, `2026.7.28.`, `2026.7.28` and ISO-8601 are all accepted.
1464
-
1465
- The month picker is unchanged (`07/2026`), and grid/table date columns were never affected —
1466
- `SmartDatePipe` and friends extend Angular's own `DatePipe` and never used moment.
1467
-
1468
- **Verified on a running host** (p014, 2026-07-29, live backend, `Europe/Budapest`). Picking
1469
- 2026-07-15 in a `Kezdődátum` field gave, end to end:
1470
-
1471
- | | |
1472
- |---|---|
1473
- | input | `2026.07.15.` |
1474
- | widget value | `instanceof Date` — not a moment, not a luxon `DateTime` |
1475
- | `JSON.stringify` of that value | `"2026-07-14T22:00:00.000Z"` |
1476
- | `getHours()` | `0` |
1477
-
1478
- That third row is the whole contract in one line: the value's `toJSON()` **is** the wire format
1479
- (see §4), and it is zulu, while the screen and `getHours()` stay local — 15 July 00:00 CEST is
1480
- 14 July 22:00 UTC. A grid column on the same host rendered `2026.04.20 0:03`, confirming the
1481
- untouched pipe path.
1482
-
1483
- ### HTTP: the library no longer forces the XHR backend (Phase 3.8)
1484
-
1485
- `provideSmartNgClient()` used to pass `withXhr()` to its internal `provideHttpClient()` call,
1486
- overriding the Angular 22 default on your behalf. It no longer does — the application runs on the
1487
- framework default **fetch** backend.
1488
-
1489
- For almost every host this is invisible. The one behavioural difference that matters: **the fetch
1490
- backend does not support upload progress.** A request with `reportProgress: true` and a body
1491
- throws `NG2824` instead of emitting `HttpUploadProgress` events.
1492
-
1493
- Measured 2026-07-28 across 12 hosts: **`reportProgress: true` and `observe: 'events'` appear
1494
- nowhere** outside the generated API services' unused parameters. So this is a theoretical risk for
1495
- the current host set, not a live one. If *your* code does ask for upload progress, pass the
1496
- feature back in:
1497
-
1498
- ```ts
1499
- import { withXhr } from '@angular/common/http';
1500
-
1501
- provideSmartNgClient({ httpFeatures: [withXhr()] })
1502
- ```
1503
-
1504
- The upside is that the "**do not call `provideHttpClient()` twice**" trap this guide warned about
1505
- is gone rather than merely documented: a second call now re-provides the same backend the library
1506
- already uses. The library's interceptors were never at risk from it — they are `multi` providers.
1507
-
1508
- ### `getActionDescriptor()` is synchronous (Phase 3.9)
1509
-
1510
- `UiActionDescriptorService.getActionDescriptor(uiAction)` returns a `UiActionDescriptor`.
1511
- It used to return a `Promise<UiActionDescriptor>`, and it was `async` for exactly one
1512
- reason: the client-side translation layer that [Phase 3.7](#client-side-translation-is-gone)
1513
- retired. Nothing it reads has been asynchronous since, so every caller was awaiting a value
1514
- that was already there.
1515
-
1516
- **If you only `await` the call, you are already fine.** `await` on a non-promise is legal
1517
- TypeScript, so this compiles and behaves identically before and after. The codemod drops the
1518
- `await` anyway, so the code stops claiming an asynchrony that is not there:
1519
-
1520
- ```ts
1521
- const descriptor = await this.uiActionDescriptor.getActionDescriptor(uiAction); // 6.x
1522
- const descriptor = this.uiActionDescriptor.getActionDescriptor(uiAction); // 7.0
1523
- ```
1524
-
1525
- Two shapes genuinely break. Measured 2026-07-28 across the 12 hosts in scope: **5 hosts,
1526
- 7 sites** — and none of them in a host's own `getActionDescriptor**s**()` map helper, which
1527
- is an unrelated API and is left alone.
1528
-
1529
- **1. A subclass that overrides it** — `TS2416`, because `Promise<UiActionDescriptor>` is not
1530
- assignable to `UiActionDescriptor`. Found in three hosts, as a byte-identical
1531
- `MdmUiActionDescriptorService`. **The codemod rewrites this one.**
1532
-
1533
- ```ts
1534
- // 6.x
1535
- override async getActionDescriptor(uiAction: UiAction): Promise<UiActionDescriptor> {
1536
- let d: UiActionDescriptor = await super.getActionDescriptor(basicUiAction);
1537
- …
1538
- }
1539
-
1540
- // 7.0
1541
- override getActionDescriptor(uiAction: UiAction): UiActionDescriptor {
1542
- let d: UiActionDescriptor = super.getActionDescriptor(basicUiAction);
1543
- …
1544
- }
1545
- ```
1546
-
1547
- This is also the service you hand to a toolbar through `[uiActionDescriptorService]`, so a
1548
- host with a custom one hits this at compile time rather than on screen.
1549
-
1550
- **2. `.then(…)` on the result** — `TS2339`, because a descriptor has no `.then`. Found in
1551
- two hosts, four sites. **The codemod reports this one and does not rewrite it**: turning a
1552
- callback into straight-line code means moving its body, which is a judgment call. The fix is
1553
- mechanical anyway — assign, then inline:
1554
-
1555
- ```ts
1556
- // 6.x
1557
- constructForm() {
1558
- this.actionDescriptorService.getActionDescriptor(this.uiAction).then((d) => {
1559
- this.buttonTitle = d.title;
1560
- this.buttonColor = d.color;
1561
- });
1562
- …
1563
- }
1564
-
1565
- // 7.0
1566
- constructForm() {
1567
- const d = this.actionDescriptorService.getActionDescriptor(this.uiAction);
1568
- this.buttonTitle = d.title;
1569
- this.buttonColor = d.color;
1570
- …
1571
- }
1572
- ```
1573
-
1574
- If the callback was the reason a field lived in a `signal` — because the value arrived after
1575
- the first render — it no longer needs to. The library made that same simplification in its
1576
- own three action dialogs and its snack bar.
1577
-
1578
- **What went synchronous with it, inside the library:** the toolbar's descriptor resolution,
1579
- `SmartGridComponent`'s header construction, and `SmartTreeGenericService.cacheActionDesciptors()`
1580
- and **`syncTree()`**. `syncTree()` now returns `void`, which is what
1581
- `SmartTreeServiceInterface` always declared; a host that calls it and discards the result —
1582
- the only shape measured — needs no change, and a host that `await`s it still compiles.
1583
-
1584
- #### The same cleanup, elsewhere: `SmartdialogService.closeDialog()` returns `void`
1585
-
1586
- A sweep for the same shape found eight more library functions declared `async` with nothing
1587
- asynchronous in them. Only one of them is on a surface a host touches:
1588
- **`SmartdialogService.closeDialog(stopPropagate?)` returns `void`** instead of
1589
- `Promise<void>`.
1590
-
1591
- **Nothing to do.** Both measured hosts that extend `SmartdialogService` override this method
1592
- as `override async closeDialog(): Promise<void>`, and that **still compiles**: TypeScript
1593
- accepts any return type where the base declares `void`. `await this.closeDialog()` keeps
1594
- compiling too. This is the difference from `getActionDescriptor` above — that one returns a
1595
- *value*, which is why the same override shape fails there with `TS2416` and not here.
1596
-
1597
- You may of course drop the `async` from your own override; nothing requires it.
1598
-
1599
- ### Upload actions now wait for the server, and report their failures (Phase 3.9)
1600
-
1601
- **This one changes behaviour, on purpose.** `SmartViewContextService.performUploadAction()`
1602
- and `performUploadMultipleAction()` used to start the upload and resolve immediately,
1603
- without waiting for it and without passing on its failure. Every other action in the family
1604
- (`performAction`, `performWidgetAction`, `performWidgetMainAction`, `dataChanged`) always
1605
- waited; the two upload ones were an omission.
1606
-
1607
- Two things follow, and both are visible in a running app:
1608
-
1609
- 1. **An upload action now blocks until the server has answered.** Before, the action was
1610
- "done" the moment the request went out — so `UiActionService` showed its success snackbar
1611
- over an upload that was still in flight, and anything the action was sequenced before ran
1612
- against a view the server had not updated yet. Now the snackbar appears when the upload
1613
- really has succeeded. On a large file that is a longer wait than 6.x showed you.
1614
-
1615
- 2. **A failed upload now reaches your error handling.** The rejection used to be dropped —
1616
- it became an unhandled promise rejection, `UiActionService`'s `catch` never ran, and the
1617
- user was told the upload had worked. It now propagates, which means
1618
- `setActionErrorHandler()` (or the default error dialog) will fire on upload failures it
1619
- never fired on before. **If your host reports "new" upload errors after upgrading, they
1620
- are not new** — they were happening silently.
1621
-
1622
- Multi-file uploads also go out **one batch at a time** now. The batches were already being
1623
- computed from the descriptor's `maxSize` and `maxBatchSize`, but they were then all sent at
1624
- once, which put the whole set on the server simultaneously and defeated the split. If your
1625
- backend measured upload concurrency, this is why it drops.
1626
-
1627
- Nothing to change in host code.
1628
-
1629
- ### New in 7.0: a grid row can render a backend layout (#29717)
1630
-
1631
- A card-mode grid row that carries `layoutDescriptor.componentLayouts['GRID_ROW_LAYOUT']`
1632
- renders that layout instead of the card component the host registered under
1633
- `'<GRID_ID>Card'`. Both branches stay: a row without the descriptor behaves exactly as
1634
- before, and this needs no host change.
1635
-
1636
- Two consequences worth knowing if you style or extend it:
1637
-
1638
- - The rendered layout's root element gets the `gridCardLayout` class, applied by the card to
1639
- its own child rather than pushed into the `style.classesToAdd` of the object the backend
1640
- sent. Nothing mutates the server model.
1641
- - **The row's actions reach the layout's toolbars by a pull, not a walk.** The card provides
1642
- a `SmartActionHost` for its row subtree and writes the row's action list into it; a toolbar
1643
- inside the layout resolves that host before falling back to the page client. If you build
1644
- a component that owns such a subtree, do the same — `WIDGETS.md`, *Toolbars*.
1645
-
1646
- This shipped in 7.0.0 rather than as a 6.0.3x patch because it is built on the inverted
1647
- widget contract that 7.0 introduces.
1648
-
1649
- ### Writing your own widget
1650
-
1651
- `WIDGETS.md`, next to this file, is the protocol: how a widget finds its screen component
1652
- through DI and registers itself, when to opt out with `[smartComponentDetached]`, what has to
1653
- be a signal now that there is no zone, how a toolbar resolves its actions, and the three
1654
- traps that have actually bitten (imperatively-fed inputs cannot be signal inputs; `@for`
1655
- tracking over backend objects; clear-then-apply styling).
1656
-
1657
- In 6.x this was not possible at all — `SmartComponentApiClient` collected its children with
1658
- eight `@ViewChildren` over eight concrete widget classes.
1659
-
1660
- ### Imperatively created components are given their inputs properly
1661
-
1662
- `ComponentFactoryService` creates the components the library instantiates by hand — grid
1663
- cards, expanded rows, table cell components, the expandable section's content, the form's
1664
- `COMPONENT` widget, the filter editor's field editors — and most of those classes come from a
1665
- host. It used to write their inputs by assigning the field. Two things follow, and both are
1666
- fixed:
1667
-
1668
- - **A declared input is now written with `ref.setInput()`**, i.e. the same way a template
1669
- binding writes it. So a **signal input** works (assignment used to overwrite the input
1670
- function with the value, and the component's next `this.x()` threw `x is not a function`),
1671
- an **aliased** input is addressable under either name, and **`ngOnChanges` runs**.
1672
- - **Falsy values arrive.** The old guard was `if (value)`, so `false`, `0` and `''` never
1673
- reached the component. Only `undefined` is skipped now, which keeps meaning "not passed".
1674
-
1675
- If your component takes something from the library this way and the key is **not** a declared
1676
- input, the field is still assigned — nothing breaks — but you get one `console.warn` per
1677
- component type and key. Declaring it with `@Input()` (or as a signal input) is the fix.
1678
-
1679
- **Check your falsy defaults.** If a host component relied on the old guard — expecting to
1680
- keep its own default when the library passed `false` or `''` — it now receives the value.
1681
- This is the only part of 7.0 where a bugfix can change what you see on screen without any
1682
- code of yours changing.
1683
-
1684
- ### Bugfixes shipped with 7.0
1685
-
1686
- - `SmartformwidgetComponent.ngAfterViewInit` no longer crashes with
1687
- `Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'valueChanges')` when the form
1688
- contains a `MONTH_PICKER` widget (it wrongly subscribed to the non-existent
1689
- `<key>-time` control; only `DATE_TIME_PICKER` has one).
1690
- - A widget nested in a CONTAINER receives `blurSophisticatedValueChange`; the recursion never
1691
- passed it down, so a BLUR-mode child would have thrown on blur.
1692
- - `SmartformComponent` reaches widgets nested in a CONTAINER when it changes them in place
1693
- (values, constraints, the touched state after a failed submit). The view query it used
1694
- could not see them.
1695
- - `UiActionDescriptorService` no longer shares one dialog object between actions. Any action
1696
- whose descriptor had no `dialog` of its own was given the service's single placeholder — the
1697
- same object every time — and had its title and button caption written into it, so resolving
1698
- one action renamed the dialog every other one was holding. The service is
1699
- `providedIn: 'root'`, so this outlasted the view.
1700
-
1701
- What you saw on screen, measured on both versions:
1702
-
1703
- | The action | 6.x, when the dialog opened | 7.0 |
1704
- |---|---|---|
1705
- | described by the backend, no dialog of its own | **another action's code** | its own code |
1706
- | described by nothing at all | **another action's code**, or empty | empty |
1707
- | registered client-side, no dialog of its own | its own code | unchanged |
1708
-
1709
- The middle column is not a typo. An action the backend describes is resolved twice in the
1710
- normal flow — once when the toolbar renders it, again when the dialog it opens resolves it
1711
- for itself — and the first resolution wrote a dialog onto the action's own descriptor, so the
1712
- second one skipped the step that fills in the title. What the dialog then showed was whatever
1713
- code had last passed through the shared object. An **already open** dialog could change too,
1714
- since its title is re-read on every change-detection pass.
1715
-
1716
- An action nothing describes still gets an untitled placeholder dialog: its *button* carries
1717
- the code, the dialog does not. That is unchanged and deliberate — such an action is a gap in
1718
- the host's descriptor map, and this is the honest rendering of it.
1719
-
1720
- A resolved descriptor is now the caller's own object throughout, which also means
1721
- `getActionDescriptor()` no longer writes a placeholder dialog and a `SNACKBAR` feedbackType
1722
- into the `descriptor` the backend put on the action itself.

+ 1. **Run the codemod** — [Migrating a host: the codemod](#migrating-a-host-the-codemod). It
12
+ does the mechanical part (the module imports, the provider configuration, the dead legacy
13
+ calls) and prints `file:line` for everything that needs a decision.
14
+ 2. Read [Full standalone + `provideSmartNgClient()`](#full-standalone--providesmartngclient-phase-32--the-big-one).
15
+ That section rewrites your `app.module.ts`; everything else is small next to it.
16
+ 3. Read [Dates](#dates-moment--date-fns-and-the-timezone-contract-phase-38). It is the one
17
+ change that needs action **at install time**, and the one that breaks at *runtime* on the
18
+ first screen with a date field rather than at build time.
19
+ 4. Then the rest in order. The **PrimeNG removal** sections (1.1–1.10) are API changes; the
20
+ **hop sections** carry the framework defaults you inherit (OnPush, fetch vs XHR, `?.`).
21
+ 5. If you write your own widget, `WIDGETS.md` next to this file is the protocol.
22
+
23
+ Measured across the 12 hosts in scope on 2026-07-28, so you know what to expect: 12–17
24
+ `Smart*Module` imports per host, 1–20 string-keyed providers, `.cssClass =` on an action
25
+ entry at 72 sites in 7 hosts, `this.uiActionModels =` in 5 hosts, `UseUiAction` in 6.
26
+
27
+ **How big is this for *your* host?** Codemod dry-run counts for the five hosts in scope
28
+ (2026-07-30). The first column the codemod applies for you; the second is the list it refuses to
29
+ guess at, which is the real work:
30
+
31
+ | host | mechanical | needs a decision |
32
+ |---|---|---|
33
+ | p014 *(done — the reference)* | 121 | ~100 |
34
+ | p043 | 121 | 96 |
35
+ | app-tournament | 86 | 34 |
36
+ | app-finance-ai | 62 | 18 |
37
+ | app-fitnessmirror | 61 | 14 |
38
+
39
+ The spread is not about host size — all five are within 274–841 source files — but about which
40
+ APIs they happened to use. p043 is p014's twin and repeats its whole decision list; the other
41
+ three have **no `.cssClass =` sites at all**, and their lists are dominated by `smart-modules`,
42
+ the 3-line `moment-adapter` swap, and `zone-js` (which is **optional** — dropping zone.js is not
43
+ required). Take a small one first if you want the process shaken out cheaply.
44
+
45
+ **One number that is now zero: the library install.** p014 was migrated against an unpublished
46
+ build and paid for it in hand-copies, tarballs and `ERESOLVE`. 7.0.0 is on npm, so a host today
47
+ writes `"@smartbit4all/ng-client": "^7.0.0"` and runs `npm i`. None of that thread applies to you.
48
+
49
+ ## Migrating a host: the codemod
50
+
51
+ It lives in the `platform-angular2` repository — `tools/ng-client-7-codemod/` — and you run
52
+ it with plain Node, from a checkout, against your own source directory. Nothing to install.
53
+
54
+ ```bash
55
+ node tools/ng-client-7-codemod/migrate.mjs ../my-host/ui-angular/src --dry-run # look first
56
+ node tools/ng-client-7-codemod/migrate.mjs ../my-host/ui-angular/src # then write
57
+ ```
58
+
59
+ It **refuses to run on a dirty git tree** (its diff is how you review it, and `git checkout .`
60
+ is how you undo it), it is **idempotent**, and it prints a verdict for every rule it knows —
61
+ including `no sites found`, because a codemod that silently matched nothing looks exactly
62
+ like one that had nothing to do.
63
+
64
+ **What it rewrites:** the `Smart*Module` imports (into the standalone declarables of the
65
+ mapping table below), the string-keyed providers and both `forRoot()` payloads (into one
66
+ `provideSmartNgClient(config, ...features)` call), the redundant core services in the root
67
+ providers array, `this.useQueryLists = true` / `handleDataChangeSubscriptions()`,
68
+ `[parentSmartComponent]` and the dead `[parent]` inputs,
69
+ `execute(x.uiAction, x)` → `execute(x)`, the `async` / `await` around
70
+ `getActionDescriptor`, the `SmartdialogService` `super(…)` call and its constructor
71
+ parameters, and PrimeNG module imports **no template in your repository renders**.
72
+
73
+ **What it refuses to guess at**, printing `file:line` and the section here that explains it:
74
+ `UseUiAction` → `UiActionExecutor`, `this.uiActionModels =`, `entry.cssClass =`, `addForm()`,
75
+ the 4th argument of `addGrid()`, `getActionDescriptor(…).then(…)`, the moment adapter,
76
+ component-level providers, every remaining `primeng/*` import, and `::ng-deep` selectors that
77
+ reach into the form widget.
78
+
79
+ **What it deliberately does not do:** convert *your* components to standalone. That is
80
+ Angular's own schematic (`ng generate @angular/core:standalone`) and it is not required — an
81
+ NgModule's `imports:` array takes standalone components, which is exactly what the codemod
82
+ puts there. Do the library migration first, get the app running, then decide about standalone
83
+ separately.
84
+
85
+ Afterwards: run your formatter, swap the date packages ([Dates §1](#1-swap-the-peer-dependency)),
86
+ build (expect one `NG8001` per template element whose component is not imported yet — that
87
+ loop terminates), and **smoke the app**, because the DI changes are invisible to the compiler.
88
+
89
+ ## Breaking changes
90
+
91
+ ### Dialog stack: PrimeNG dynamicdialog → MatDialog (Phase 1.1)
92
+
93
+ - `SmartdialogService` and `SmartViewContextDialogService` constructors no longer
94
+ take a PrimeNG `DialogService` parameter. If your host extends or instantiates
95
+ these services, drop the argument (MatDialog is injected internally).
96
+
97
+ Both arguments PrimeNG contributed are gone, so the base constructor lost two of
98
+ its four parameters:
99
+
100
+ ```ts
101
+ // 6.x
102
+ constructor(dialog: MatDialog, dialogService: DialogService, inject: Injector,
103
+ @Inject(COMPONENT_LIBRARY) compLib: ComponentLibrary) {
104
+ super(dialog, dialogService, inject, compLib);
105
+ }
106
+ // 7.0
107
+ constructor(dialog: MatDialog, inject: Injector) {
108
+ super(dialog, inject);
109
+ }
110
+ ```
111
+
112
+ **The codemod does this** (rule `smartdialog-super`), including the constructor
113
+ parameters and the now-unused `primeng/dynamicdialog` import — except where a
114
+ dropped parameter carries an accessibility modifier (`protected dialogService: …`),
115
+ which declares a class *property* the body may still read. Those are reported.
116
+ - The `ComponentLibrary` switch no longer has a PrimeNG branch in the dialog
117
+ layer — all dialogs open via `MatDialog` regardless of `COMPONENT_LIBRARY`.
118
+
119
+ ### smart-form widgets: PrimeNG removed (Phase 1.2)
120
+
121
+ - `ComparableDropdownDirective` and `ComparableMultiselectDirective` are removed
122
+ (they decorated the PrimeNG `p-dropdown` / `p-multiSelect` elements, which no
123
+ longer exist). Use `SmartformwidgetComponent.compareItems` semantics via
124
+ `mat-select [compareWith]`, which the widget template already wires up.
125
+ - `SmartformwidgetComponent` constructor no longer takes the injected
126
+ `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token; the widget renders Material-only.
127
+ - `SmartformwidgetComponent` removed PrimeNG-only public members:
128
+ `errorMessages`, `getControlMessages()`, `onPrimeRichTextEditorContentChanged()`,
129
+ `safeDropDownBlur()`/`onDropDownShow()`/`onDropDownInput()`,
130
+ `safeCalendarBlur()`/`onCalendarShow()`/`onCalendarInput()`, `defaultDate`.
131
+ - `SmartFormService.setValuesFromModel()` / `toFormGroup()` /
132
+ `createFormControls()` no longer take a `ComponentLibrary` parameter.
133
+ - `SmartViewContextModule` no longer imports the PrimeNG form modules
134
+ (Dropdown, MultiSelect, Calendar, Chips, InputSwitch, Checkbox, InputNumber,
135
+ InputText, InputTextarea, InputMask, FloatLabel, Messages) and no longer
136
+ provides `Dropdown` / `MultiSelect`.
137
+
138
+ ### fileupload: PrimeNG removed (Phase 1.4)
139
+
140
+ - `SmartFileUploaderComponent` (selector `smart-file-uploader4sc`) is removed
141
+ from the public API. It was a PrimeNG `p-fileUpload` wrapper declared in
142
+ `SmartNgClientModule` but referenced nowhere; the Material-style
143
+ `SmartfileuploaderComponent` (selector `smartfileuploader`) is the uploader.
144
+ - The internal `PrimeFileUploaderComponent` (selector `prime-file-uploader`)
145
+ is removed; `smart-upload-widget` always renders `smartfileuploader`.
146
+ - `UploadWidgetComponent` constructor no longer takes the injected
147
+ `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token, and its PrimeNG-only members are gone
148
+ (`fileUploadPrime`, `uploadFiles()`).
149
+ - `SmartNgClientModule` and `SmartViewContextModule` no longer import the
150
+ PrimeNG `FileUploadModule`; `SmartViewContextModule` also dropped the dead
151
+ `OverlayPanelModule` import (Phase 1.3).
152
+
153
+ ### editor: Quill 1.3 → 2, quill-emoji removed (Phase 1.5)
154
+
155
+ - Peer dependencies changed: `quill` `^1.3.7` → `^2.0.3`, `ngx-quill`
156
+ `16.2.1 - 24.0.5` → `^25.3.3`. Hosts must bump both together (ngx-quill 25.x
157
+ is the Quill 2 line for Angular 17; later Angular hops will raise it further).
158
+ - `quill-emoji` peer dependency is **removed** (dead, Quill 1-only, unmaintained).
159
+ If a host needs emoji support, pick a Quill 2-compatible module on its own.
160
+ - `@types/quill` must be removed from host devDependencies — Quill 2 ships its
161
+ own TypeScript types, and the stale `@types/quill` 1.x conflicts with them.
162
+ - The bundled `quill.snow.css` (imported by the smart-form widget) is now the
163
+ Quill 2.0.3 stylesheet; hosts that import `quill/dist/quill.snow.css`
164
+ themselves must serve the Quill 2 version.
165
+ - `SmartViewContextModule` no longer imports the PrimeNG `EditorModule`
166
+ (`<p-editor>` died with Phase 1.2; RICH_TEXT renders via ngx-quill).
167
+
168
+ ### smart-diagram: p-chart replaced by direct chart.js (Phase 1.6)
169
+
170
+ - `SmartDiagramComponent` renders its own `<canvas>` and instantiates chart.js
171
+ directly; the PrimeNG `<p-chart>` wrapper (and the `ChartModule` import in
172
+ `SmartDiagramModule`) is gone. Chart.js controllers are now registered by the
173
+ component itself (`Chart.register(...registerables)`), so no `chart.js/auto`
174
+ import is needed anywhere.
175
+ - The public `chart` property (and `getChart()`) is now the chart.js `Chart`
176
+ instance instead of the PrimeNG `UIChart` component. `getBase64Image()` and
177
+ `refresh()` keep their signatures (delegating to `toBase64Image()` /
178
+ `update()`).
179
+ - `SmartDiagramComponent` constructor no longer takes the injected
180
+ `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token; the component has a single render path.
181
+ - DOM/CSS hooks changed: the internal structure is
182
+ `div.chart-host > div.chart-container > canvas`; host styles targeting
183
+ `::ng-deep p-chart` no longer match. The aspect-ratio classes
184
+ (`default-aspect-ratio` / `pie-aspect-ratio`) are now applied on
185
+ `.chart-host` and size `.chart-container`.
186
+
187
+ ### smart-grid: PrimeNG branch removed (Phase 1.7)
188
+
189
+ - `SmartGridComponent` renders Material-only. The `@if (compLib === PRIMENG)`
190
+ template branch (the inline `p-table` / `p-paginator` / `p-menu` /
191
+ `p-multiSelect` grid) is gone; the grid always renders through the PrimeNG-free
192
+ `smart-table` (the `#table` slot), `mat-tree`, `app-smart-grid-card`, and
193
+ `mat-paginator`.
194
+ - `SmartGridComponent` constructor no longer takes the injected
195
+ `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token, nor the `SmartDatePipe` / `SmartDateTimePipe` /
196
+ `SmartTimePipe` (they only fed the removed inline `p-table` cell renderer);
197
+ those pipes are dropped from the component `providers` too.
198
+ - Removed PrimeNG-only public members: `columns`, `menuButtons`, `menu`,
199
+ `onOptionsClick()`, `previousmultiSortMeta`, `gridSort()`, `lazyLoad()`,
200
+ `headerChange()`, `onColOrder()`, `getOrderColumNames()`, `getColValue()`,
201
+ `onPrimeChangePage()`, `onRowSelect()`, `onRowUnselect()`, `onSelectAllRow()`,
202
+ `getImageResourceIcons()`, `getImageResourceStyle()`, `getRowColumnAction()`,
203
+ `showCellToolbar()`, `shouldShowOptionsButton()`, `calculateMenuActions()`,
204
+ `createCellToActionMap()`, `getRowMenuActionModelArray()`, `rowTrackByFn()`,
205
+ `cellToActionMap`, `columnMetaByName`, and the `_headerToolbar`
206
+ (`#headerToolbar`) view child. The `headerToolbar` getter now returns the
207
+ smart-table's header toolbar unconditionally (its only remaining consumer,
208
+ `SmartComponentApiClient`, is unaffected).
209
+ - `SmartGridModule` no longer imports the PrimeNG `TableModule`, `ButtonModule`,
210
+ `MenuModule`, `PaginatorModule`, `MultiSelectModule`; `MatTooltipModule` is
211
+ added (the grid refresh button is now a Material `mat-icon-button` +
212
+ `matTooltip` instead of `pButton` + `pTooltip`).
213
+ - Note: this is the PrimeNG-branch deletion only. The `smart-grid` internals
214
+ rewrite to `mat-table` + `MatPaginator` and the `smart-grid`/`smart-table`
215
+ merge remain a Phase 3 (post-Angular-22) change.
216
+
217
+ ### misc widgets: PrimeNG branches removed (Phase 1.8)
218
+
219
+ The remaining components that still carried a dead PrimeNG branch alongside an
220
+ already-active Material one are now Material-only. In every case the Material
221
+ branch was the rendered path under `COMPONENT_LIBRARY = MATERIAL` (the value all
222
+ 7.0 hosts use), so this is render-neutral; the `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token, where
223
+ these components still injected it, is now ignored by them.
224
+
225
+ - `ExpandableSectionComponent` renders Material-only (the `p-accordion` branch is
226
+ gone; always `mat-expansion-panel`). Its constructor no longer takes the
227
+ injected `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token. `SmartExpandableSectionModule` no longer
228
+ imports the PrimeNG `AccordionModule`.
229
+ - `UiActionButtonComponent` renders Material-only (the `pButton`/`pRipple` branch
230
+ is gone; always `mat-button`). Its constructor no longer takes the optional
231
+ `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token (it previously defaulted to `PRIMENG` when unset).
232
+ `getType()` no longer has a PrimeNG class-map branch — it returns the
233
+ `mat-mdc-*` class strings unconditionally. (The dynamic `getbtnClass()`'s
234
+ `p-button-<color>` class token was later dropped in Phase 1.9.)
235
+ - `UiActionToolbarComponent` constructor no longer takes the injected
236
+ `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token. The dead `getType()` / `getbtnClass()` methods
237
+ (never referenced by the template) were removed, and the scroll-affordance
238
+ buttons use the Material icons `arrow_back` / `arrow_forward` unconditionally
239
+ (the PrimeNG `chevron-left` / `chevron-right` fallback is gone).
240
+ - `UiActionConfirmDialogComponent` and `UiActionInputDialogComponent` render
241
+ their close button as a Material `mat-icon-button` unconditionally (the `@else`
242
+ `p-button` branch is gone); both constructors no longer take the injected
243
+ `COMPONENT_LIBRARY` token.
244
+ - `SmartIconModule` no longer imports the PrimeNG `BadgeModule` (badges render
245
+ via the custom `ui-badge` component, unaffected).
246
+ - `SmartViewContextModule` no longer imports the PrimeNG `ButtonModule`,
247
+ `TooltipModule`, `ToastModule`, `ImageModule`, or `OrderListModule` (all
248
+ unused after the branch deletions). The `primeng/api` `SharedModule`
249
+ (`PrimeSharedModule`) import was later dropped in Phase 1.9's final sweep.
250
+
251
+ ### PrimeNG package dependency removed (Phase 1.9)
252
+
253
+ The `primeng` npm package is gone. Most importantly it is dropped from
254
+ `@smartbit4all/ng-client`'s own **`peerDependencies`** (in
255
+ `projects/smart-ng-client/package.json`, which flows into the published
256
+ `npms/smart-ng-client/package.json`) — that entry is what previously forced every
257
+ consuming host to install PrimeNG. It is also removed from the dev workspace
258
+ (`package.json`, `package-lock.json`, `node_modules`), and both PrimeNG theme
259
+ stylesheets (`primeng/resources/themes/saga-blue/theme.css`,
260
+ `primeng/resources/primeng.min.css`) are removed from the app-playground `styles`
261
+ in `angular.json`. Hosts that still list `primeng` as a dependency or load its
262
+ theme CSS should remove both; 7.0 renders entirely on Material/CDK.
263
+
264
+ #### Your own PrimeNG usage
265
+
266
+ Removing the peer dependency does not remove PrimeNG from *your* code, and the measured
267
+ hosts carry more of it than their authors expect — mostly as **dead module imports**. Across
268
+ the 12 hosts, `DialogService` is imported 56 times, but 8 of those in p014 turned out to be
269
+ nothing but the base-constructor argument above, and four PrimeNG modules in its
270
+ `app.module.ts` rendered nothing at all.
271
+
272
+ So the codemod separates the two cases, and the separation is decidable rather than
273
+ guessed:
274
+
275
+ - **`primeng-modules`** — a PrimeNG NgModule in an `imports:` array is **deleted** when none
276
+ of its selectors appears in any template in the repository. The scan runs over `.html`
277
+ *and* `.ts` (for inline templates) before anything is rewritten, and it distinguishes an
278
+ element (`<p-tree>`) from an attribute directive (`pTooltip`) so that a leftover
279
+ `class="p-button"` is not read as a component still in use. What the scan found is printed
280
+ in the header, because it is what licenses the deletions.
281
+ - **`primeng-imports`** — everything else from `primeng/*` is reported with its replacement.
282
+ These are the real ports.
283
+
284
+ The replacements, for what the hosts actually import:
285
+
286
+ | PrimeNG | Material / CDK |
287
+ |---|---|
288
+ | `p-button` / `pButton` | `MatButtonModule` — `mat-button`, `mat-icon-button` |
289
+ | `p-tree` | the library's `<smart-tree>`, or `MatTreeModule` |
290
+ | `p-progressSpinner` | `MatProgressSpinnerModule` — `<mat-spinner>` |
291
+ | `pTooltip` | `MatTooltipModule` (`matTooltip`), or `SmartTooltipDirective` |
292
+ | `p-sidebar` | `MatSidenavModule` |
293
+ | `pInputText` | `MatInputModule` — `matInput` inside `<mat-form-field>` |
294
+ | `p-fieldset` | `MatCardModule`, or `<fieldset>` + `<mat-divider>` |
295
+ | `p-divider` | `MatDividerModule` |
296
+ | `p-accordion` | `MatExpansionModule`, or `<smart-expandable-section>` |
297
+ | `p-table` | the library's `<smart-grid>`, or `MatTableModule` |
298
+ | `p-editor` | ngx-quill's `<quill-editor>` (already a library dependency) |
299
+ | `p-badge` / `pBadge` | `MatBadgeModule`, or `UiBadgeComponent` / `UiBadgeDirective` |
300
+ | `p-menu`, `p-overlayPanel` | `MatMenuModule`, or the CDK Overlay |
301
+ | `p-inputSwitch` | `MatSlideToggleModule` |
302
+ | `p-dialog` | `MatDialog` — open a component instead of toggling `[visible]` |
303
+ | `DialogService` | `MatDialog`. There is **no `header` option**: put `<h2 mat-dialog-title>` in the component |
304
+ | `DynamicDialogRef` | `MatDialogRef` — `afterClosed()` replaces `onClose` |
305
+ | `DynamicDialogConfig` | `MAT_DIALOG_DATA` for the data, `MatDialogRef` for the rest |
306
+ | `PrimeNGConfig` | **delete it.** `setTranslation()` of day and month names is already covered by `MAT_DATE_LOCALE` + `SmartDateFnsAdapter` — the date-fns `hu` locale carries both the names and the Monday week start. **Confirmed on a running host** (p014, 2026-07-29, against a live backend): the datepicker opens on `2026. JÚL.` with `H K Sz Cs P Sz V`, i.e. Hungarian and Monday-first, exactly what the deleted `firstDayOfWeek: 1` + `dayNamesMin` used to buy. See [Dates](#dates-moment--date-fns-and-the-timezone-contract-phase-38) |
307
+ | `MessageService` | `MatSnackBar` |
308
+ | `ConfirmationService` | the library's `UiActionConfirmDialogService` |
309
+ | `MenuItem` | the library's `UiActionModel`, or a plain `<mat-menu>` item |
310
+ | `SharedModule` (`primeng/api`) / `PrimeTemplate` | a plain `<ng-template>` — PrimeNG needed `pTemplate`, Material does not |
311
+
312
+ `primeicons` is a separate package. Nothing in 7.0 needs it, but nothing breaks if you keep
313
+ it either — `pi pi-*` class names are just a font.
314
+
315
+ ### `QuillModule.forRoot()` in your root module
316
+
317
+ `provideSmartNgClient()` calls `importProvidersFrom(QuillModule.forRoot())` itself — ngx-quill
318
+ has no provider function, so the module is the only way to reach its root configuration. A
319
+ root module that also calls it is configuring quill twice, so the codemod removes the call
320
+ and its import. In a *feature* module the same call is that module's own configuration and is
321
+ left alone.
322
+
323
+ **Keep `ngx-quill` and `quill` in your `package.json`.** They are peer dependencies of the
324
+ library — the host provides them. npm installs peers automatically, which is why hosts have
325
+ got away with not declaring them, but any install that runs with `--legacy-peer-deps` drops
326
+ them silently and the next build fails on an import that has always worked. Two of the twelve
327
+ measured hosts were in exactly that state.
328
+
329
+ **7.0 adds four peer dependencies 6.x did not have**, and they bite in a way the TypeScript
330
+ errors do not prepare you for:
331
+
332
+ ```bash
333
+ npm install ngx-mask@^22.0.0 fast-equals@^5.0.1 wavesurfer.js@^7.9.5 @angular/youtube-player@^22.0.0
334
+ ```
335
+
336
+ If you install the library the normal way, npm brings these in for you. If you *swap a local
337
+ build into `node_modules` by hand* — which is how you would try the library before it is
338
+ published — npm never runs, so nothing installs them. The symptom arrives **after** the last
339
+ TypeScript error is fixed, as five `Module not found` errors reported against the library's
340
+ own `fesm2022` bundle rather than against any file of yours:
341
+
342
+ ```
343
+ ./node_modules/@smartbit4all/ng-client/fesm2022/smartbit4all-ng-client.mjs:7:0-60 -
344
+ Error: Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'ngx-mask'
345
+ ```
346
+
347
+ Four packages, five errors: `wavesurfer.js` is missing twice, once for its `record` plugin.
348
+
349
+ - `UiActionButtonComponent.getbtnClass()` no longer emits the dead
350
+ `p-button-<color>` class token — it returns only `sb4-<color>` (nothing styled
351
+ `.p-button-*`; the platform button theme keys off `sb4-<color>` in
352
+ `custom-theme.scss`). Hosts with their own `.p-button-<color>` overrides for
353
+ sb4 action buttons should migrate them to `.sb4-<color>`.
354
+ - `SmartViewContextModule` no longer imports the `primeng/api` `SharedModule`
355
+ (`PrimeSharedModule`); no template in the module used `pTemplate`.
356
+ - `SmartComponentLayoutModule` no longer imports `InputGroupModule` /
357
+ `InputGroupAddonModule` (they were dead — no `p-inputGroup` template existed).
358
+
359
+ The `ComponentLibrary` enum still exists with only its `MATERIAL` member in
360
+ active use; its `PRIMENG` member and the remaining dead `ComponentLibrary.PRIMENG`
361
+ code branches (icon/menu/widget components, dead `.p-*`/`.pi` CSS) are removed in
362
+ a follow-up internal-cleanup step (1.10) — they are not a package dependency and
363
+ do not affect hosts. `deviceInfo.componentLibrary` continues to report
364
+ `material` to the backend.
365
+
366
+ ### ComponentLibrary / COMPONENT_LIBRARY removed entirely (Phase 1.10)
367
+
368
+ 7.0 is Material-only, so the `ComponentLibrary` abstraction (which had no second
369
+ implementation once PrimeNG was gone) is deleted outright.
370
+
371
+ - **Host action required:** `ComponentLibrary` (enum) and `COMPONENT_LIBRARY`
372
+ (injection token) are no longer exported from `@smartbit4all/ng-client`. Hosts
373
+ that provide `{ provide: COMPONENT_LIBRARY, useValue: ComponentLibrary.MATERIAL }`
374
+ in their root providers must **remove that provider and its import** — it now
375
+ fails to compile (no exported member). No replacement is needed; every component
376
+ renders Material-only.
377
+ - Every `@Inject(COMPONENT_LIBRARY)` constructor argument is gone from the library
378
+ (smart-icon, click/hover tiered menu, photo-capture / voice-record widgets,
379
+ smart-voice-recorder, smart-file-editor, smart-multi-file-editor, sortable
380
+ widget, smart-filter-editor-content, validation-result-page, message-dialog, the
381
+ dialog services `SmartdialogService` / `SmartViewContextDialogService` /
382
+ `SmartViewContextErrorDialogService` / the ui-action confirm/input/file-upload
383
+ dialog services, and `PdfViewerDialogService` in `@smartbit4all/document-explorer`).
384
+ The `SmartdialogService` base constructor is now `(dialog, injector)` — subclasses
385
+ that called `super(dialog, dialogService, injector, compLib)` keep the first and
386
+ third arguments only. See [Phase 1.1](#dialog-stack-primeng-dynamicdialog--matdialog-phase-11);
387
+ the codemod rewrites it.
388
+ - `SmartViewContextService` no longer exposes the public `componentLibrary` field
389
+ and no longer injects the token; it now writes the literal `'material'` into
390
+ `deviceInfo.componentLibrary` on every view-context update (the backend keys its
391
+ icon set on this string — `images-playground.properties` has `.material=` vs
392
+ `.primeng=` variants — so the value keeps flowing; the DTO field is unchanged).
393
+ - All dead `ComponentLibrary.PRIMENG` branches and their PrimeNG icon names
394
+ (`chevron-right`, `pi pi-*`, `power-off`, `trash`, `file`, `exclamation-circle`,
395
+ `play-circle`/`stop-circle`, etc.) are removed; the Material icon path is now
396
+ unconditional. Dead `.p-*` / `.pi` CSS rules were purged from the library
397
+ (smart-icon, smartform, smartformwidget, the file editors/uploader,
398
+ ui-action-file-upload-dialog) and from the app-playground `custom-theme.scss`;
399
+ the app-playground `index.html` no longer loads the `primeicons` CDN stylesheet.
400
+ - After 1.10, `grep -rin primeng projects` reports a single residual: the
401
+ auto-generated `deviceInfo.ts` DTO doc comment (`(Material, PrimeNg)`), which
402
+ mirrors the backend OpenAPI field description and is regenerated from it — left
403
+ untouched by design (the field itself is intentionally kept).
404
+
405
+ ### Angular 18 hop (Phase 2, 17 → 18)
406
+
407
+ The library line now builds against Angular 18. Host-relevant changes:
408
+
409
+ - **Peer dependency bumps** (hosts must upgrade together with the lib):
410
+ `@angular/*` `^18.0.0`, `@angular/youtube-player` `^18.2.14` (was lagging on
411
+ `^16` — its `^16 || ^17` peer range breaks a strict `npm install` on Angular
412
+ 18, so it can no longer lag), `ngx-quill` `^26.0.0` (the Angular 18 line;
413
+ quill stays `^2.0.3`), `ngx-mask` `^18.0.0`, and — for
414
+ `@smartbit4all/document-explorer` — `ngx-extended-pdf-viewer` `^21.0.0`
415
+ (the 19.x/20.x lines cap their Angular peer below 18).
416
+ - **`parchment` hoisting quirk (ngx-quill 26):** the ngx-quill 26 typings
417
+ reference `import("parchment")`, but npm may leave `parchment` nested under
418
+ `node_modules/quill/` (even after `npm dedupe`), which fails the host build
419
+ with `TS2307: Cannot find module 'parchment'`. Fix: add
420
+ `"parchment": "^3.0.0"` to the host devDependencies so it is hoisted to the
421
+ top level (quill 2 depends on parchment 3, so versions cannot conflict).
422
+ - **Material theming (M2 compat APIs):** the `ng update @angular/material@18`
423
+ schematic rewrites M2 theme SCSS to the prefixed compat API
424
+ (`mat.define-palette` → `mat.m2-define-palette`,
425
+ `mat.$indigo-palette` → `mat.$m2-indigo-palette`,
426
+ `mat.define-light-theme` → `mat.m2-define-light-theme`, …). The theme stays
427
+ visually **M2** — no M3 switch happens at this hop; hosts running the
428
+ schematic get this rewrite automatically.
429
+ - **`HttpClientModule` deprecation:** the `ng update @angular/core@18`
430
+ migration replaces `HttpClientModule` imports with
431
+ `provideHttpClient(withInterceptorsFromDi())`. Not a library breaking
432
+ change (the lib's generated API services were migrated internally), but
433
+ hosts will get the same automatic migration in their own modules.
434
+ - TypeScript requirement raised to `>=5.4` (the repo builds on 5.5).
435
+
436
+ ### Angular 19 hop (Phase 2, 18 → 19)
437
+
438
+ The library line now builds against Angular 19. Host-relevant changes:
439
+
440
+ - **Peer dependency bumps** (hosts must upgrade together with the lib):
441
+ `@angular/*` `^19.0.0`, `@angular/youtube-player` `^19.0.0`,
442
+ `ngx-quill` `^27.0.0` (the Angular 19 line; quill stays `^2.0.3`),
443
+ `ngx-mask` `^19.0.0`, and — for `@smartbit4all/document-explorer` —
444
+ `ngx-extended-pdf-viewer` `^22.0.0` (the 21.x line caps its Angular peer
445
+ below 19).
446
+ - **ngx-extended-pdf-viewer 22 input rename:** the `[showScrollingButton]`
447
+ input no longer exists — it is `[showScrollingButtons]` (plural,
448
+ `ResponsiveVisibility`). Hosts that use `<ngx-extended-pdf-viewer>` directly
449
+ must rename the binding, otherwise the template fails with NG8002.
450
+ - **Standalone-by-default:** in Angular 19 components/directives/pipes are
451
+ standalone unless declared otherwise. The `ng update @angular/core@19`
452
+ migration automatically adds `standalone: false` to every NgModule-declared
453
+ declarable in the host codebase — run it and review the (large, mechanical)
454
+ diff. Declarables not referenced by any NgModule are skipped by the
455
+ schematic.
456
+ - **Material theming:** the `ng update @angular/material@19` schematic splits
457
+ `@include mat.core()` into `@include mat.elevation-classes()` +
458
+ `@include mat.app-background()`. No visual change; hosts running the
459
+ schematic get this rewrite automatically.
460
+ - **New NG8111 extended diagnostic** (warning): "Function in event binding
461
+ should be invoked". Uninvoked event bindings like
462
+ `(click)="(someCallback)"` — previously silently dead — are now flagged at
463
+ build time. Warning only, the build stays green.
464
+ - TypeScript requirement stays satisfied by 5.5 (Angular 19 supports
465
+ TS 5.5–5.8).
466
+
467
+ ### Angular 20 hop (Phase 2, 19 → 20)
468
+
469
+ The library line now builds against Angular 20. Host-relevant changes:
470
+
471
+ - **Peer dependency bumps** (hosts must upgrade together with the lib):
472
+ `@angular/*` `^20.0.0`, `@angular/youtube-player` `^20.0.0`,
473
+ `ngx-quill` `^28.0.0` (the Angular 20 line; quill stays `^2.0.3`),
474
+ `ngx-mask` `^20.0.0`, and — for `@smartbit4all/document-explorer` —
475
+ `ngx-extended-pdf-viewer` `^23.0.0` (the 22.x line caps its Angular peer
476
+ below 20). No pdf-viewer API rename at this bump (unlike 22.x).
477
+ - **TypeScript 5.9 required** (Angular 20 supports 5.8–5.9); `ng update`
478
+ bumps it automatically. TS 5.9 adds **TS2872 "This kind of expression is
479
+ always truthy"**, which turns previously-silent dead `||` alternatives into
480
+ build errors — expect one or two in any older codebase.
481
+ - **Material 20 button labels no longer set `white-space: nowrap`.** Material
482
+ 20 dropped the MDC stylesheet (`@material/button`), which used to carry it.
483
+ Multi-word button labels now wrap, and any rule that lets the button size to
484
+ its content (the lib's `.mdc-button { height: fit-content }`) makes the
485
+ button grow taller. The lib restores the pre-20 look inside
486
+ `ui-action-button` (`.mdc-button__label { white-space: nowrap }`); **hosts
487
+ that render Material buttons of their own must add the same rule** if they
488
+ relied on single-line labels (typical symptom: a navigation bar that
489
+ suddenly wraps and overflows into scroll arrows).
490
+ - **Material 20 renamed the MDC-era CSS custom properties**: e.g.
491
+ `--mdc-text-button-container-height` → `--mat-button-text-container-height`.
492
+ The `ng update @angular/material@20` schematic rewrites the ones it finds in
493
+ `.css`/`.scss` files; token names embedded in TS strings or host templates
494
+ must be renamed by hand.
495
+ - **`DOCUMENT` moved from `@angular/common` to `@angular/core`.** Automatic
496
+ migration; `@angular/common`'s re-export is deprecated.
497
+ - **`moduleResolution: "node"` → `"bundler"`** in `tsconfig.json` (and any
498
+ `tsconfig.lib.json` that sets it explicitly). Automatic migration; it changes
499
+ how sub-path exports resolve, so a host with hand-written `paths` entries
500
+ should re-verify its build.
501
+ - **Workspace generation defaults**: the CLI adds a `schematics` block to
502
+ `angular.json` pinning the pre-20 file-naming style (`type: "component"`,
503
+ `typeSeparator: "."`). Cosmetic — it only affects newly generated files.
504
+ - Optional migrations **not** run here (deferred to the modernization phase):
505
+ `use-application-builder` (esbuild), `control-flow-migration`,
506
+ `router-current-navigation`.
507
+ - The `InjectFlags`, `TestBed.get` → `TestBed.inject` and
508
+ `provideServerRendering` migrations were no-ops for this codebase.
509
+ - The NG8111 warnings introduced at the 19 hop are no longer emitted by the
510
+ Angular 20 compiler (the dead bindings themselves are unchanged).
511
+
512
+ ### Angular 21 hop (Phase 2, 20 → 21)
513
+
514
+ The library line now builds against Angular 21. Host-relevant changes:
515
+
516
+ - **Peer dependency bumps** (hosts must upgrade together with the lib):
517
+ `@angular/*` `^21.0.0`, `@angular/youtube-player` `^21.0.0`,
518
+ `ngx-quill` `^29.0.0` (the Angular 21 line; quill stays `^2.0.3`),
519
+ `ngx-mask` `^21.0.0`, and — for `@smartbit4all/document-explorer` —
520
+ `ngx-extended-pdf-viewer` `^25.0.0` (the 24.x line still caps its Angular
521
+ peer below 21). No pdf-viewer API rename at this bump.
522
+ - **`ngx-quill` 30.x is intentionally *not* used.** 30.x is the "zoneless"
523
+ line and drops the `zone.js` peer dependency; the 7.0 lib is still
524
+ zone-based. Hosts that have already gone zoneless may use 30.x, but the
525
+ lib is only validated against 29.x.
526
+ - **TypeScript stays 5.9** and **zone.js stays 0.15** (Angular 21 accepts
527
+ `~0.15.0 || ~0.16.0`). **Node** must satisfy
528
+ `^20.19.0 || ^22.12.0 || >=24.0.0`.
529
+ - **`MatCommonModule` is removed from `@angular/material/core` (breaking).**
530
+ It was already deprecated in Material 20 (`@breaking-change 21.0.0`). Any
531
+ host NgModule that imports it will fail to compile with
532
+ `Unknown reference` — and because a broken NgModule cascades, the real
533
+ error usually shows up as a flood of `NG8001: '<some-component>' is not a
534
+ known element` / `NG6002: … does not appear to be an NgModule class`
535
+ further down the build log. **Fix: just delete the import and the array
536
+ entry.** `MatCommonModule` had no template surface; it only
537
+ (a) applied the `cdk-high-contrast-*` body classes — `A11yModule` still
538
+ does this, and Material components that need it import `A11yModule`
539
+ themselves — and (b) re-exported `BidiModule`. If your host actually uses
540
+ the `Dir` directive or injects `Directionality`, import
541
+ `BidiModule` from `@angular/cdk/bidi` explicitly.
542
+ The lib dropped it from all 10 of its own modules.
543
+ - **`provideZoneChangeDetection()` is now added at bootstrap** by the
544
+ `ng update` migration, e.g.
545
+ `bootstrapModule(AppModule, { applicationProviders: [provideZoneChangeDetection()] })`.
546
+ This keeps zone-based change detection explicit; behaviour is unchanged.
547
+ - **The control-flow migration (`*ngIf` → `@if`) now runs as a *mandatory*
548
+ `ng update` migration**, not an optional one. It rewrites every structural
549
+ directive in the workspace. The lib **reverted** it to keep the version hop
550
+ reviewable — `NgIf`/`NgForOf`/`NgSwitch` still ship in Angular 21, so
551
+ `*ngIf`/`*ngFor` keep working. Hosts may keep or revert it as they prefer;
552
+ if you want it as a separate change, run
553
+ `npx ng generate @angular/core:control-flow` on its own commit.
554
+ - **New `NG8107` extended diagnostic** (warning): an optional chain `?.`
555
+ whose left side can no longer be `null`/`undefined` under Angular 21's
556
+ sharpened template inference. Warning only — expect a batch of them in any
557
+ older template set.
558
+ - **`tsconfig.json` loses its explicit `lib` array** (the CLI derives it from
559
+ `target`). Automatic migration.
560
+ - The Material and CDK v21 migration schematics made no source changes, and
561
+ the `Router.lastSuccessfulNavigation` migration was a no-op. The optional
562
+ `router-current-navigation` migration was not run.
563
+ - The `.mdc-button__label { white-space: nowrap }` workaround introduced at
564
+ the Angular 20 hop is **still required on Material 21** — the class still
565
+ exists in the button template and Material still ships no `white-space`
566
+ rule for it.
567
+
568
+ ### Angular 22 hop (Phase 2, 21 → 22) — final hop
569
+
570
+ The library line now builds against **Angular 22**. This is the biggest
571
+ host-facing hop of the series: it changes the **change-detection default**, the
572
+ **HTTP backend default** and the **meaning of `?.` in templates**. All three are
573
+ handled by `ng update` migrations, but you must let them run.
574
+
575
+ - **Peer dependency bumps** (hosts must upgrade together with the lib):
576
+ `@angular/*` `^22.0.0`, `@angular/youtube-player` `^22.0.0`,
577
+ `ngx-quill` `^31.0.0` (the Angular 22 line; quill stays `^2.0.3`),
578
+ `ngx-mask` `^22.0.0`, and — for `@smartbit4all/document-explorer` —
579
+ `ngx-extended-pdf-viewer` `^28.0.0` (25/26/27 all cap their Angular peer
580
+ below 22). **No pdf-viewer API rename at this bump.**
581
+ `@ngx-translate/core` `^14` still works (its peer is `>=13`).
582
+ - **TypeScript must be 6.0** (`@angular/compiler-cli` peers `>=6.0 <6.1`);
583
+ **zone.js stays 0.15** (`~0.15.0 || ~0.16.0`) and **rxjs is unchanged**.
584
+ **Node** must satisfy `^22.22.3 || ^24.15.0 || >=26.0.0` — note the
585
+ **22.22.3** floor, which is stricter than Angular 21's `^22.12.0`.
586
+
587
+ #### 1. `ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush` is the new default
588
+
589
+ In Angular 22 the enum is redefined: `OnPush = 0` (default), `Eager = 1`, and
590
+ `Default = 1` is kept as a **deprecated alias of `Eager`**. Any component
591
+ without an explicit `changeDetection` therefore switches from CheckAlways to
592
+ OnPush — a real behaviour change for components that mutate their own state
593
+ without signals or `markForCheck()`.
594
+
595
+ An `ng update` schematic **automatically adds
596
+ `changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.Eager` to every component that had
597
+ none**, which keeps behaviour bit-identical. The lib took exactly this route
598
+ (114 components) and did **not** opt into OnPush at this hop. Recommended host
599
+ approach: let the schematic run, verify your app, and move components to OnPush
600
+ deliberately afterwards.
601
+
602
+ Watch out for components the schematic can skip — it only touches components it
603
+ can resolve. After updating, grep for `@Component` files with no
604
+ `changeDetection` and decide about each one; a component that is dynamically
605
+ instantiated but never statically declared can slip through.
606
+
607
+ #### 2. `provideHttpClient` now defaults to the fetch backend
608
+
609
+ Angular 22 switches `HttpClient` from `XMLHttpRequest` to `fetch`. An
610
+ `ng update` migration inserts **`withXhr()`** into your `provideHttpClient(...)`
611
+ calls to preserve the old backend:
612
+
613
+ ```ts
614
+ provideHttpClient(withXhr(), withInterceptorsFromDi())
615
+ ```
616
+
617
+ The lib does this in `SmartViewContextModule`. **Hosts that call
618
+ `provideHttpClient` themselves must do the same** (or consciously move to
619
+ fetch). This matters most for **upload progress**: `reportProgress` events
620
+ behave differently on the fetch backend, so if your host reports upload
621
+ progress, keep `withXhr()` until you have retested it.
622
+
623
+ #### 3. `?.` in templates now yields `undefined`, not `null`
624
+
625
+ Angular 22's safe-navigation operator returns `undefined` where it used to
626
+ return `null`. Where that difference is observable, an `ng update` migration
627
+ wraps the expression in the **`$safeNavigationMigration()` compiler builtin**:
628
+
629
+ ```html
630
+ [ngStyle]="calcStyle($safeNavigationMigration(diagramModel?.descriptor?.style))"
631
+ ```
632
+
633
+ This is an official builtin (handled like `$any()` — the compiler unwraps it and
634
+ the type-checker sees straight through it), not a temporary marker, so wrapped
635
+ templates are safe to keep. The same `ng update` run also sets the
636
+ `nullishCoalescingNotNullable` and `optionalChainNotNullable` extended
637
+ diagnostics to `suppress` in your tsconfigs, which silences the `NG8107`
638
+ warnings the Angular 21 hop introduced.
639
+
640
+ #### 4. `ComponentFactoryResolver` is removed (breaking)
641
+
642
+ `ComponentFactoryResolver` is gone and `ComponentFactory` is no longer public
643
+ (it only survives as `ɵRender3ComponentFactory`). Code like this stops
644
+ compiling with `TS2305` / `NG2003`:
645
+
646
+ ```ts
647
+ constructor(private resolver: ComponentFactoryResolver) {}
648
+ ngAfterViewInit() {
649
+ const factory = this.resolver.resolveComponentFactory(MyComponent);
650
+ this.vcRef.createComponent(factory);
651
+ }
652
+ ```
653
+
654
+ Replace it with the type-based overload — behaviour is identical (v22 builds the
655
+ same factory internally and resolves the injector from the parent):
656
+
657
+ ```ts
658
+ ngAfterViewInit() {
659
+ this.vcRef.createComponent(MyComponent);
660
+ }
661
+ ```
662
+
663
+ **Public-API change in the lib:** `ComponentFactoryService` no longer exposes
664
+ its `factory` field. `createComponent()` / `destroyComponent()` keep their
665
+ signatures, so hosts that only call those need no change.
666
+
667
+ #### 5. TypeScript 6.0 deprecates `baseUrl` and `downlevelIteration`
668
+
669
+ TS 6.0 raises **`TS5101`** for both options ("deprecated and will stop
670
+ functioning in TypeScript 7.0"). Two ways out:
671
+
672
+ - Remove them. `downlevelIteration` is a no-op at `target: ES2022`. `baseUrl`
673
+ can only go once every non-relative first-party import (`from 'projects/…'`,
674
+ `from 'src/…'`) is relative or covered by a `paths` entry.
675
+ - Or silence them for now with `"ignoreDeprecations": "6.0"` in
676
+ `compilerOptions`. This is what the lib workspace does, because `baseUrl` is
677
+ still load-bearing there. It only buys time until TS 7.
678
+
679
+ #### 6. Other notes
680
+
681
+ - **Material 22 removed no further modules or tokens** — the CDK and Material
682
+ v22 migration schematics made no source changes. CDK 22 moves to a
683
+ package `exports` map (the per-entry-point sub-directories are gone from
684
+ `node_modules/@angular/cdk`), but every `@angular/cdk/*` import still
685
+ resolves; this only matters if you referenced those paths on disk.
686
+ - The `.mdc-button__label { white-space: nowrap }` workaround introduced at the
687
+ Angular 20 hop is **still required on Material 22** — the class still appears
688
+ in Material's button template and Material still ships no `white-space` rule
689
+ for it.
690
+ - **The control-flow migration did not re-run at this hop** (it was mandatory at
691
+ 21). The lib still ships `*ngIf`/`*ngFor` templates; `NgIf`/`NgForOf`/
692
+ `NgSwitch` continue to work in Angular 22.
693
+ - **The webpack-based builders are deprecated.** `@angular-devkit/build-angular`
694
+ now prints a notice recommending `@angular/build`. Nothing breaks yet, but
695
+ plan the switch.
696
+ - `strictTemplates` is on by default in v22; the lib workspace was already
697
+ strict, so nothing changed. If your host was not strict, the `ng update`
698
+ migration adds `"strictTemplates": false` to keep it that way.
699
+
700
+ ### The third-party packages the library does *not* own (Phase 2)
701
+
702
+ Every hop section above lists the library's own peer dependencies. Your host almost
703
+ certainly carries packages the library never sees, and those have their own Angular
704
+ peer ceilings — each one can stop a hop dead. Measured on p014 (2026-07-29), which
705
+ went 17 → 22 with the library still installed:
706
+
707
+ - **`@swimlane/ngx-charts` needs a ladder of its own**: `20 → 22 → 22 → 23 → 24 → 25`
708
+ across the five hops. At the Angular 21 hop it peer-caps the CDK, and because
709
+ `ng update`'s own `npm` step is **not** `--force`d (even when you passed `--force`
710
+ to `ng update`), the install fails there while `package.json` has already been
711
+ written correctly. The fix both times was to redo the install by hand, not to
712
+ re-run the update. `p043` and `app-tournament` both carry ngx-charts `^20.4.1`
713
+ and will hit this; `app-fitnessmirror` and `app-finance-ai` do not.
714
+ - **`ngx-extended-pdf-viewer` moved to `.mjs`** at the 21 hop and stopped shipping
715
+ `pdf-3.10.560-es5.min.js`. If your `angular.json` names that file under `scripts`
716
+ or `assets`, the build fails on a missing file rather than on anything Angular.
717
+ - **`karma` and `@angular/build`**: `@angular/build` 22 declares
718
+ `peerOptional karma@^6.4.0`. A host pinned to `~6.3.0` gets a wall of
719
+ `npm warn ERESOLVE overriding peer dependency` — **warnings, exit code 0**, so it
720
+ is not blocking. It becomes a *hard* install failure the moment `@angular/build`
721
+ is a direct devDependency rather than a nested one, which is what happened in the
722
+ library workspace. `karma@~6.4.4` clears it.
723
+
724
+ The general shape: **`ng update` needs `--force` at every hop** (the library and
725
+ PrimeNG both peer-cap at Angular 17 until the very end), and `--force` covers the
726
+ Angular schematics but not the `npm install` they trigger. When that install fails,
727
+ check `package.json` before assuming the hop did nothing — it is usually already
728
+ correct.
729
+
730
+ ### Housekeeping (Phase 3.0)
731
+
732
+ #### The dialog's built-in Ok/Cancel buttons are gone
733
+
734
+ `smartdialog.component.html` no longer renders an `Ok` and a `Cancel` button.
735
+ They were dead: their `(click)` handlers were the no-op expressions
736
+ `(click)="(data.okCallback)"` / `(click)="(data.cancelCallback)"` — a bare
737
+ property read, not a call — so pressing them did nothing, and the whole block
738
+ was behind `*ngIf="!data.customComponent"`, which is never true for a host
739
+ dialog (`SmartDialog.ngAfterViewInit` unconditionally instantiates
740
+ `data.customComponent`).
741
+
742
+ **The `okCallback` / `cancelCallback` model fields stay.** Hosts set and invoke
743
+ them from their own `customComponent` dialogs, and that keeps working
744
+ unchanged. Only the library-rendered buttons are gone. The `actionCallback` /
745
+ `actionLabel` button — the one with a real handler (`onActionClick()`) — is
746
+ untouched.
747
+
748
+ Action needed: none, unless you relied on the library rendering those two
749
+ buttons — in which case they never worked, and you should render them in your
750
+ own dialog component.
751
+
752
+ ### Full standalone + `provideSmartNgClient()` (Phase 3.2) — **the big one**
753
+
754
+ This is the change that rewrites your `app.module.ts`. Everything else in this
755
+ guide is small next to it.
756
+
757
+ #### Every NgModule is gone
758
+
759
+ The library no longer ships a single `@NgModule`. All 58 are deleted —
760
+ `SmartNgClientModule`, `SmartViewContextModule`, `SmartSessionModule`,
761
+ `SmartGridModule`, `SmarttableModule`, `SmarttreeModule`, `SmartdialogModule`,
762
+ `SmartIconModule`, `SmartNavbarModule`, `SmartFilterModule`,
763
+ `SmartFilterEditorModule`, `SmartComponentLayoutModule`,
764
+ `SmartExpandableSectionModule`, `SmartMapModule`, `SmartDiagramModule`,
765
+ `SmartNavigationModule`, `SmartValidationModule`, `SmartGenericPagesModule`,
766
+ `ComponentFactoryServiceModule`, `SharedModule`, `SmartTabGroupModule`,
767
+ `SmartDocuStoreExplorerModule` and the generated OpenAPI `ApiModule`s.
768
+
769
+ Every component, directive and pipe is now **standalone**. Import the ones your
770
+ templates use directly, in the component that uses them:
771
+
772
+ ```ts
773
+ @Component({
774
+ selector: 'app-my-page',
775
+ templateUrl: './my-page.component.html',
776
+ imports: [SmartGridComponent, UiActionToolbarComponent, SmartEmbeddedSlotDirective],
777
+ })
778
+ export class MyPageComponent extends SmartComponent<MyModel> { … }
779
+ ```
780
+
781
+ **The compiler tells you what is missing** — one `NG8001: '<smart-grid>' is not
782
+ a known element` per unresolved element, per template. Work through them; there
783
+ is no guessing involved. In practice ~16 module imports become ~40 component
784
+ imports spread across the components that actually use them.
785
+
786
+ **The compiler does NOT tell you about the DI changes below.** Nothing fails at
787
+ build time if you get those wrong; you find out on the first page load. Smoke
788
+ your app.
789
+
790
+ #### `provideSmartNgClient(config, ...features)` replaces the module imports
791
+
792
+ ```ts
793
+ bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
794
+ providers: [
795
+ provideAnimations(),
796
+ provideRouter(ROUTES),
797
+ provideSmartNgClient(
798
+ {
799
+ gridMenuIcon: 'more_horiz',
800
+ treeMenuIcon: 'more_horiz',
801
+ aclEditingViewName: Pages.ACL_MATRIX_PAGE,
802
+ invalidSmartlinkPageName: Pages.INVALID_SMARTLINK_PAGE_NAME,
803
+ namedValidators: [MY_VALIDATOR_FACTORY],
804
+ },
805
+ withSmartMap({ engine: MapEngine.LEAFLET }),
806
+ withSmartDiagram({ customOptions: [MY_CHART] })
807
+ ),
808
+ { provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, useClass: MyLoadingInterceptor, multi: true },
809
+ ],
810
+ });
811
+ ```
812
+
813
+ The core is always wired and cannot be forgotten: session, view context, the
814
+ three BFF interceptors, layout, form, grid, table, tree, dialog, icon, navbar,
815
+ filter, filter editor, validation, expandable section, navigation, shared and
816
+ the generic pages. That is the point — the session and header interceptors used
817
+ to be easy to leave out, and leaving them out fails *silently* (no
818
+ `Authorization` header).
819
+
820
+ Only two features are opt-in, because they pull heavy third-party code that not
821
+ every host renders: `withSmartMap()` (leaflet / Google Maps) and
822
+ `withSmartDiagram()` (chart.js). There is **no `withSmartTabGroup()`** —
823
+ `smart-tab-group` had no component left, only an empty module, and is deleted.
824
+
825
+ `provideSmartNgClient()` calls `provideHttpClient()` itself, with
826
+ `withInterceptorsFromDi()` and its own three functional interceptors, and leaves the backend
827
+ on the framework default (fetch). Your own class-based `HTTP_INTERCEPTORS` keep working and
828
+ still run after the library's three. Pass extra `HttpClient` features in
829
+ `config.httpFeatures` rather than making a second `provideHttpClient()` call — see
830
+ [HTTP](#http-the-library-no-longer-forces-the-xhr-backend-phase-38), which is also where the
831
+ 6.x "do not call it twice" trap went.
832
+
833
+ #### String-keyed providers become typed config fields
834
+
835
+ Delete these from your providers array and pass them to `provideSmartNgClient`:
836
+
837
+ | 6.x provider | 7.0 config field |
838
+ |---|---|
839
+ | `{ provide: 'gridMenuIcon', useValue: … }` | `gridMenuIcon` |
840
+ | `{ provide: 'treeMenuIcon', useValue: … }` | `treeMenuIcon` |
841
+ | `{ provide: 'searchPageName' / 'searchComponentName', … }` | `searchPageName` / `searchComponentName` |
842
+ | `{ provide: 'genericPageName' / 'genericComponentName', … }` | `genericPageName` / `genericComponentName` |
843
+ | `{ provide: 'subjectSelectorPageName' / 'subjectSelectorComponentName', … }` | `subjectSelectorPageName` / `subjectSelectorComponentName` |
844
+ | `{ provide: 'validationResultPageName' / 'validationResultComponentName', … }` | `validationResultPageName` / `validationResultComponentName` |
845
+ | `{ provide: 'noPermissionPageName' / 'noPermissionComponentName', … }` | `noPermissionPageName` / `noPermissionComponentName` |
846
+ | `{ provide: 'invalidSmartlinkPageName' / 'invalidSmartlinkComponentName', … }` | `invalidSmartlinkPageName` / `invalidSmartlinkComponentName` |
847
+ | `{ provide: 'aclEditingViewName', useValue: … }` | `aclEditingViewName` |
848
+ | `{ provide: DIALOG_DISABLE_CLOSE, useValue: … }` | `dialogDisableClose` |
849
+ | `{ provide: MAT_DATE_LOCALE, useValue: 'hu-HU' }` | `dateLocale` — **or keep the provider as it is**, which is what the codemod does; see [Dates §2](#2-leave-your-mat_date_locale-provider-alone) |
850
+ | `SmartWidgetSettings.useUtc = true` (a static, not a provider) | **delete it** — the flag is gone with the moment adapter; see [Dates §4](#4-smartngclientconfiguseutcdates-is-removed) |
851
+ | `{ provide: NAMED_VALIDATOR, useValue: F, multi: true }` | `namedValidators: [F]` |
852
+ | `{ provide: SMART_DEFAULT_VIEW_COMPONENTS, useValue: E, multi: true }` | `defaultViewComponents: [E]` |
853
+ | `SmartValidationModule.forRoot([...])` | `namedValidators` — **the element type changes**, see below |
854
+ | `SmartDiagramModule.forRoot([...])` | `withSmartDiagram({ customOptions })` |
855
+ | `{ provide: MAP_ENGINE, useValue: … }` | `withSmartMap({ engine })` |
856
+
857
+ `'pageName'`, `'componentName'` and `'treeId'` stay as string tokens on purpose:
858
+ they identify one component instance rather than configuring the library, and
859
+ hosts also provide them at component level.
860
+
861
+ You can also delete these from your **root** providers array — the core provides them:
862
+ `SmartSessionService`, `SmartViewContextService`, `SmartNavigationService`,
863
+ `SmartIconService`, `SmartFilterEditorService`, `SmartFormService`,
864
+ `SmartCookieService`, `NamedValidatorService`, `ComponentFactoryService`, and the date
865
+ adapter wiring (`MAT_DATE_FORMATS`, `DateAdapter`).
866
+
867
+ ⚠️ **`namedValidators` takes factories, not providers.** `SmartValidationModule.forRoot()`
868
+ took `Provider[]`, so hosts wrote the wrapper by hand:
869
+
870
+ ```ts
871
+ // 6.x — validator.factories.ts
872
+ export const VALIDATOR_PROVIDER_EMPTY_INPUT: Provider = {
873
+ provide: NAMED_VALIDATOR, useValue: VALIDATOR_FACTORY_EMPTY_INPUT, multi: true,
874
+ };
875
+ // app.module.ts
876
+ imports: [SmartValidationModule.forRoot([VALIDATOR_PROVIDER_EMPTY_INPUT])]
877
+ ```
878
+
879
+ `provideSmartNgClient()` adds that wrapper itself, so the config takes the bare
880
+ `ValidatorFactory[]`. Export the factories and pass those:
881
+
882
+ ```ts
883
+ // 7.0
884
+ export const VALIDATOR_FACTORY_EMPTY_INPUT: ValidatorFactory = { … };
885
+ provideSmartNgClient({ namedValidators: [VALIDATOR_FACTORY_EMPTY_INPUT] })
886
+ ```
887
+
888
+ The codemod moves the argument into the config and **reports it**, because the entries are
889
+ normally named constants declared in another file and only you know what each one wraps. If
890
+ you miss the note, `TS2322: Type 'Provider' is not assignable to type 'ValidatorFactory'`
891
+ lands on every element.
892
+
893
+ ⚠️ **The same line on a `@Component` is not the same thing.**
894
+ `providers: [SmartFilterEditorService]` on a page component asks for one instance *per page*,
895
+ which is usually deliberate — p014 does it in five components. Leave those alone; the codemod
896
+ does.
897
+
898
+ #### The module → standalone mapping
899
+
900
+ What each `Smart*Module` used to export, reduced to what 7.0 still exports publicly. An
901
+ NgModule's `imports:` array accepts standalone components, so this substitution is all a host
902
+ that is still NgModule-based needs to keep compiling — the codemod performs it.
903
+
904
+ | 6.x module | 7.0 imports |
905
+ |---|---|
906
+ | `SmartNgClientModule` | the union of the fourteen it re-exported (everything below except the generic pages, the filter editor, the map and the diagram) — trim it to what your templates use |
907
+ | `SmartComponentLayoutModule` | `SmartComponentLayoutComponent` |
908
+ | `SmartViewContextModule` | `UiActionToolbarComponent`, `UiActionButtonComponent`, `UiActionDialogButtonComponent`, `SmartformComponent`, `SmartfileuploaderComponent`, `SmartFileEditorComponent`, `SmartMultiFileEditorComponent`, `SmartVoiceRecorderComponent`, `SmartEmbeddedSlotDirective`, `HighlightPipe` |
909
+ | `SmartGridModule` | `SmartGridComponent` |
910
+ | `SmarttreeModule` | `SmartTreeComponent` |
911
+ | `SmartdialogModule` | `SmartDialog` |
912
+ | `SmartIconModule` | `SmartIconComponent`, `UiBadgeComponent`, `UiBadgeDirective` |
913
+ | `SmartNavbarModule` | `SmartNavbarComponent` |
914
+ | `SmartFilterModule` | `SmartFilterComponent` |
915
+ | `SmartFilterEditorModule` | `SmartFilterEditorContentComponent` |
916
+ | `SmartExpandableSectionModule` | `ExpandableSectionComponent` |
917
+ | `SmartSessionModule` | `SmartSessionTimerComponent` |
918
+ | `SmartGenericPagesModule` | `SearchPageComponent`, `GenericPageComponent`, `SubjectSelectorComponent`, `InvalidSmartlinkComponent` |
919
+ | `SmartMapModule` | `SmartMapComponent` + `withSmartMap({ engine })` |
920
+ | `SmartDiagramModule` | `SmartDiagramComponent` + `withSmartDiagram({ customOptions })` |
921
+ | `SharedModule` | `SmartTooltipDirective`, `SmartDatePipe`, `SmartDateTimePipe`, `SmartTimePipe` |
922
+ | `SmartValidationModule` | nothing — `forRoot()`'s validators become `namedValidators` |
923
+ | `SmarttableModule` | nothing — `SmarttableComponent` is no longer public; render a `<smart-grid>` |
924
+ | `SmartNavigationModule`, `ComponentFactoryServiceModule` | nothing — they only carried services, which the core provides |
925
+ | `SmartTabGroupModule` | nothing — deleted; it had no component left |
926
+ | `SmartDocuStoreExplorerModule` (`@smartbit4all/document-explorer`) | `SmartDocuStoreExplorerComponent`, `FolderContentComponent`, `PdfViewerDialogPageComponent` |
927
+
928
+ Two things this table will not tell you, and the compiler will not either: an import you no
929
+ longer need is invisible (unused entries in an NgModule `imports:` array are not reported),
930
+ and a name you already bind from elsewhere — a `SmartDatePipe` of your own — must not be
931
+ imported twice. The codemod reports both cases rather than guessing.
932
+
933
+ #### Your `SmartComponent` subclasses silently become OnPush
934
+
935
+ This is an **Angular 22 fact rather than something 7.0.0 introduces**, but it
936
+ lands on you at the same moment, so it is worth stating plainly: `SmartComponent`
937
+ is an abstract `@Component`, and each of your subclasses carries its own
938
+ `@Component` decorator. On Angular 22 a component without an explicit
939
+ `changeDetection` gets the new `OnPush` default. p014 has 75 such subclasses,
940
+ p043 has 70.
941
+
942
+ Let the `ng update` schematic add `changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.Eager`
943
+ to all of them (that is what the library did), verify your app, and move to
944
+ OnPush deliberately afterwards. A subclass that mutates its own state outside a
945
+ signal and without `markForCheck()` will stop repainting under OnPush.
946
+
947
+ #### Removed from the public API
948
+
949
+ A major is the only chance to narrow the surface, so these are no longer
950
+ exported. All of them are library internals; none is used by p014, p043,
951
+ app-formmate or `@smartbit4all/document-explorer`:
952
+
953
+ - `SmarttableComponent`, `SmarttableService` — use `<smart-grid>`, which renders
954
+ the table internally. **All `SmartTable*` model types stay** (`SmartTableType`,
955
+ `SmartTableInterfaceTypeEnum`, `SmartTableHeader`, …). p043 imports
956
+ `SmarttableComponent` in `ad-groups.component.ts` but never uses it — delete
957
+ that one import line.
958
+ - `GoogleMap`, `LeafletMap`, `AbstractMap` — select an engine with
959
+ `withSmartMap({ engine })`.
960
+ - `SmartFilterParamComponent`, `SmartFilterParamsComponent`,
961
+ `SmartFilterExpressionItemComponent`, `SmartFilterExpressionItemsComponent` —
962
+ internals of `SmartFilterEditorContentComponent`, which stays public.
963
+ - `HoverMenuComponent`, `ClickMenuComponent` — rendered by the ui-action toolbar.
964
+ - `UiActionConfirmDialogComponent`, `UiActionInputDialogComponent` — opened by
965
+ their services, which stay public.
966
+ - `UploadWidgetComponent`, `PhotoCaptureWidgetComponent`,
967
+ `VoiceRecordWidgetComponent` — contents of the ui-action upload dialog.
968
+ - `SmartNgClientService` — deleted; it was an empty stub with no members.
969
+ - The generated `ApiModule`s — they had no usages and their `forRoot()` told you
970
+ to import `HttpClientModule`, which no longer applies.
971
+
972
+ Two internal string tokens are gone as well, replaced by real `InjectionToken`s
973
+ (`'confirmDialogService'`, `'textFieldDialogService'`, `'fileUploadDialogService'`).
974
+ No host provided them, so no action is needed.
975
+
976
+ #### Behaviour notes
977
+
978
+ - `<mat-slide-toggle>` in the form widget no longer carries a `value` binding,
979
+ `<mat-nested-tree-node>` no longer carries an interpolated `matTreeNodeToggle`,
980
+ and the ui-action menus no longer carry `[subActions]`. All four were dead
981
+ bindings that the NgModules' `CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA` had been hiding — they
982
+ wrote a DOM property nobody read. Rendering is unchanged.
983
+ - The dead `ExpandableGridComponent` is deleted (it was declared in
984
+ `SmartGridModule` but its selector was used nowhere).
985
+
986
+ ### Widget ↔ SmartComponent: the model routing is inverted (Phase 3.4)
987
+
988
+ A widget no longer waits to be collected by the screen component it lives in: it finds its
989
+ `SmartComponentApiClient` through DI and registers itself. `SmartComponent` carries the
990
+ channel as an inherited host directive, so **no host component has to be changed for the
991
+ routing itself** — everything below is the *legacy surface* that went with the old
992
+ collection path. The protocol is written up in `WIDGETS.md` next to this file; the decision
993
+ record behind it is ADR-0005 in the `platform-angular2` working copy.
994
+
995
+ #### What a host must delete (all of it mechanical, all reported by the compiler)
996
+
997
+ | Delete | Why |
998
+ |---|---|
999
+ | `this.useQueryLists = true;` | The property is gone. Its setter rejected anything but `true`, so every branch behind it was unreachable — this was a no-op that logged a warning. |
1000
+ | `[parentSmartComponent]="this"` on `<smart-component-layout>` | The input is gone; the layout injects the client. `strictTemplates` reports leftovers as **NG8002**. |
1001
+ | `this.addForm(id, smartForm, formComponent)` | Gone. A `<smartform>` that displays the client's model registers itself. Two call styles existed; where the return value was used, it was the `smartForm` argument — use that (which makes those lines self-assignments, so they just go). **Delete the scaffolding around the call too**: in p014 the 21 calls left behind 9 empty `if (this.formX) { }` guards and 3 `new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 500)).then(() => { })` wrappers whose only content had been the registration. The compiler does not complain about either. |
1002
+ | `this.widgets.delete(…)` / `this.widgets.set(…)` / `this.formWidgets…` | The maps are gone (they were only written by the legacy path and read by nothing). |
1003
+ | the 4th argument of `addGrid(smartGrid, options, useAsDefaultGrid, componentReference)` | `addGrid()` keeps the options and the default-grid role; the services it used to copy into the grid model (`uiActionService`, `uiActionDescriptorService`, `serviceToUse`, `viewContextService`) are the grid's own DI job now. |
1004
+ | `override getSmartXxxQL()` (e.g. the two `throw new Error` overrides in a `FilterPageService`) | The eight abstract getters are gone from `SmartComponentApiClient`. |
1005
+ | `this.getSmartGridsQL()` and friends | If a component really wants its own widgets, it declares the view query itself: `@ViewChildren(SmartGridComponent) grids!: QueryList<SmartGridComponent>` — same reach as the removed getter had. |
1006
+ | `handleDataChangeSubscriptions()` | Gone. A form publishes its own value-change keys when it constructs. |
1007
+
1008
+ Removed from the public API in the same step, in case a host imported them directly:
1009
+ `SmartComponentLayoutUtility` and its `EmbeddedSlotInfo` interface (the whole file — its
1010
+ collectors walked the layout tree for widgets, which nothing does now), and the `[parent]`
1011
+ inputs of `<smart-map>` / `<smart-diagram>` (they were bound to `parentSmartComponent` and read
1012
+ by nothing; both widgets resolve the client themselves). `initActions()` also runs less often:
1013
+ only when the model or its action list changes, no longer after every layout render, grid view
1014
+ init and filter model change — a host override that relied on one of those extra calls has to
1015
+ key off `dataChanged` instead.
1016
+
1017
+ The [codemod](#migrating-a-host-the-codemod) deletes the first two rows and the last one, and
1018
+ lists the rest — `addForm()`, the 4th `addGrid()` argument, the getter overrides — with their
1019
+ line numbers, because each of those is a small decision rather than a substitution.
1020
+
1021
+ #### What stays
1022
+
1023
+ - `SmartService` — a view-less client. Its `@ViewChildren` never populated anyway; they are
1024
+ simply gone now.
1025
+ - `initActions()` — still the hook a host overrides to build its own action list. The base
1026
+ implementation only asks for a render; toolbars pull their actions themselves.
1027
+ - `setUpDefaultTree()` / `createTreeService()`, `addGrid()`, `submitForms()`,
1028
+ `getInvalidFields()`, `uiActionModels` (now a getter over the model's actions).
1029
+
1030
+ #### `uiActionModels` is read-only now — assigning to it no longer compiles
1031
+
1032
+ It became a getter over the `actionModels` computed, so a host that *replaced* the list in
1033
+ place gets `TS2540: Cannot assign to 'uiActionModels' because it is a read-only property`.
1034
+ Measured in **p014 and p043**, `document-storage-editor.component.ts`:
1035
+
1036
+ ```ts
1037
+ // before — no longer compiles
1038
+ this.uiActionModels = this.uiActionModels.filter((a) => a.uiAction.code !== 'CANCEL');
1039
+
1040
+ // after — filter into a field of your own and bind it
1041
+ protected readonly visibleActions = signal<UiActionModel[]>([]);
1042
+ // …
1043
+ this.visibleActions.set(this.uiActionModels.filter((a) => a.uiAction.code !== 'CANCEL'));
1044
+ ```
1045
+
1046
+ ```html
1047
+ <smart-ui-action-toolbar [uiActionModels]="visibleActions()"></smart-ui-action-toolbar>
1048
+ ```
1049
+
1050
+ A plain field works just as well; what matters is that the **array reference changes**, which
1051
+ is what tells the toolbar to re-render. See also the entry-freeze note in the Phase 3.7
1052
+ section.
1053
+
1054
+ #### Behavioural deltas, accepted
1055
+
1056
+ - **Wider reach.** A widget in a host's *own* sub-component now participates, where a view
1057
+ query could not see it (measured on p014/p043: 5 toolbars and 3–4 forms per host). A form
1058
+ takes part only if it displays the client's component model, which is what the forms the
1059
+ queries used to find have in common; a form that renders something else of its own (a
1060
+ search box, a field editor) does not.
1061
+ - Two widgets sharing one identifier both reload; the old map kept only the last.
1062
+ - `getInvalidFields()` collects in subscription order rather than view order — visible only
1063
+ in the order of the names in the validation dialog.
1064
+ - A toolbar entry is tracked by a synthesized key (action code + ordinal among entries with
1065
+ the same code), so a button's DOM node — with its focus and ripple — follows its action
1066
+ across reordering. Rendering is otherwise identical.
1067
+
1068
+ #### `[smartComponentDetached]`
1069
+
1070
+ The one brake on the automatic registration. Put it on an element whose subtree deliberately
1071
+ renders something other than the client's model; widgets below it resolve an empty slot and
1072
+ neither reload nor take part in submit/validation.
1073
+
1074
+ ```html
1075
+ <div smartComponentDetached>
1076
+ <smart-grid [smartGrid]="ownGrid" [uuid]="ownUuid"></smart-grid>
1077
+ </div>
1078
+ ```
1079
+
1080
+ #### `SmartSubject` is deleted
1081
+
1082
+ It was a no-op wrapper over `Subject`: `subscription.add(this.unsubscribe$.subscribe())`
1083
+ registers the teardown in the wrong direction, so after `destroy$.next()`, `.complete()` or
1084
+ `.unsubscribe()` subscribers still received values. Replace `new SmartSubject(destroy$)`
1085
+ with `new Subject()`; where a subscription really must die with a component, use
1086
+ `takeUntil(this._destroy$)` (which is what actually stopped delivery all along) or
1087
+ `takeUntilDestroyed()`. No host used it.
1088
+
1089
+ ### Toolbars resolve their own actions and own the execution context (Phase 3.5)
1090
+
1091
+ One rule decides which actions a toolbar shows, and the toolbar — not each list entry —
1092
+ says who performs them. `WIDGETS.md`, *Toolbars*, is the short version; the decision record
1093
+ behind it is ADR-0006 in the `platform-angular2` working copy.
1094
+
1095
+ > A toolbar renders the actions **addressed to its `id`** (`uiAction.toolbar == id`). The
1096
+ > list comes from an explicit `[uiActionModels]` binding if there is one, otherwise from the
1097
+ > screen component above it in the DOM. **Without an `id` it never pulls** — "unaddressed" is
1098
+ > not an address, so a toolbar with neither an id nor a binding shows nothing.
1099
+
1100
+ `[uiActionModels]="uiActionModels"` therefore keeps meaning "put my page's unaddressed
1101
+ actions here" and needs no change.
1102
+
1103
+ #### `UseUiAction` is deleted; `UseUiAction2` is now `UiActionExecutor`
1104
+
1105
+ There is one executor interface. If a host class implements `UseUiAction` — a `submit` /
1106
+ `reSubscribeToChange` subject handshake — replace the two subjects with the two methods:
1107
+
1108
+ ```ts
1109
+ // before
1110
+ export class DelegateInboxDialogService implements UseUiAction {
1111
+ submit: Subject<void> = new Subject();
1112
+ reSubscribeToChange: Subject<void> = new Subject();
1113
+ …
1114
+ }
1115
+
1116
+ // after
1117
+ export class DelegateInboxDialogService implements UiActionExecutor {
1118
+ submitForm(validate: boolean): void {
1119
+ this.submit.next(); // keep the subject if a component subscribes to it
1120
+ }
1121
+ getInvalidFields(): SmartFormInvalidFields {
1122
+ return { invalidFieldKeys: [], invalidFieldNames: [] };
1123
+ }
1124
+ …
1125
+ }
1126
+ ```
1127
+
1128
+ `Subject.next()` is synchronous, so a component that subscribed to `submit` has already run
1129
+ by the time `submitForm()` returns — which is exactly what the old handshake tried to
1130
+ express. Keep `reSubscribeToChange` only if something subscribes to it; the library no longer
1131
+ fires it.
1132
+
1133
+ This also **fixes a silent hang**: the old branch `await`ed `submit.toPromise()`, which only
1134
+ settles when somebody `complete()`s the subject. Three of the five implementors never did, so
1135
+ a `submit`/`model` action on those services waited forever.
1136
+
1137
+ #### `UiActionService.execute()` lost its first argument
1138
+
1139
+ It was always `uiActionModel.uiAction`:
1140
+
1141
+ ```ts
1142
+ - this.uiActionService.execute(uiActionModel.uiAction, uiActionModel);
1143
+ + this.uiActionService.execute(uiActionModel);
1144
+ ```
1145
+
1146
+ #### The execution context moved from the entry to the toolbar
1147
+
1148
+ | what | bind on the toolbar | entry field (still honoured) |
1149
+ |---|---|---|
1150
+ | who performs the action | `[executor]` | `serviceToUse` — **deprecated** |
1151
+ | which widget it runs against | `[widgetId]` | `widgetId` — **deprecated**, wins if set |
1152
+ | which row inside it | `[nodeId]` | `nodeId` — **deprecated**, wins if set |
1153
+ | extra params for every action | `[actionParams]` | (clone the `UiAction` — no longer necessary) |
1154
+
1155
+ `[executor]` defaults to the screen component the toolbar sits under, which is what almost
1156
+ every entry named. Bind it only when the actions belong to another API — a tree service, a
1157
+ filter editor, a dialog service of your own:
1158
+
1159
+ ```html
1160
+ <smart-ui-action-toolbar [uiActionModels]="actions" [executor]="myService"></smart-ui-action-toolbar>
1161
+ ```
1162
+
1163
+ `[actionParams]` replaces cloning a `UiAction` per row just to inject a model:
1164
+
1165
+ ```html
1166
+ <smart-ui-action-toolbar
1167
+ [uiActionModels]="rowActions"
1168
+ [widgetId]="gridId"
1169
+ [nodeId]="row.id"
1170
+ [actionParams]="{ model: row }"
1171
+ ></smart-ui-action-toolbar>
1172
+ ```
1173
+
1174
+ #### Removed from the public API
1175
+
1176
+ | Removed | Replacement |
1177
+ |---|---|
1178
+ | `UseUiAction` | `UiActionExecutor` (see above) |
1179
+ | the third `SmartTable` constructor parameter and `getServiceToUse()` | nothing — the executor no longer travels through the table (0 host call sites) |
1180
+ | `SmartformComponent.getToolbars()` | nothing collects toolbars any more; each one resolves its own actions |
1181
+ | `ISmartFilterEditorService.get/setComplexToolbars()` and the `submit` / `reSubscribeToChange` members | as above |
1182
+ | `FileEditorToolbarComponent` | a plain `<smart-ui-action-toolbar>` with `[actionParams]` |
1183
+ | `SmartGridComponent.setupToolbar()` / `.toolbar` / `.headerToolbar` | the id is a binding; there is nothing to reach into |
1184
+
1185
+ #### Behavioural deltas, accepted
1186
+
1187
+ - A widget renders a toolbar exactly when its model carries a `toolbarId`, with no type list.
1188
+ A `toolbarId` on a type whose template has no place for a toolbar (`RECORDING_UPLOADER`)
1189
+ now logs a warning instead of being silently dropped.
1190
+ - Only the actions a toolbar actually shows are scheduled. Since 3.4 a toolbar armed every
1191
+ scheduled action of the view, so one action could fire from several toolbars at once.
1192
+ - A grid row's actions are no longer cloned per row; the row model travels as
1193
+ `[actionParams]`. The multi-file editor's per-file toolbars appear when their own list
1194
+ resolves rather than when a hidden sibling's did, and the tree's `doAction` clones instead
1195
+ of mutating the caller's `UiAction`.
1196
+
1197
+ ### The form widget's rendering decisions (Phase 3.6)
1198
+
1199
+ Nothing here needs a code change in a host — there is no API to adapt to. What
1200
+ changes is what the widget puts on the page, so read this before you compare
1201
+ screenshots.
1202
+
1203
+ #### Every widget carried a spare empty wrapper; it is gone
1204
+
1205
+ The `COMPONENT` branch's wrapper had no type guard, so
1206
+ `<div class="widgetContainer"><div class="widgetContent"><ng-template
1207
+ #customComponent>` rendered after **every** widget of every type. Measured on the
1208
+ playground: 14 widgets, 28 `.widgetContainer` — one spare, empty, per widget.
1209
+
1210
+ The library's own CSS puts no box properties on `.widgetContainer`, so most pages
1211
+ will look identical. **Yours may not**, if you style that class with anything that
1212
+ occupies space. Both in-house hosts do, on one page:
1213
+
1214
+ ```css
1215
+ /* p014 + p043, dossier-publication.component.css */
1216
+ :host ::ng-deep .widgetContainer { margin-bottom: 0.5rem !important; }
1217
+ ```
1218
+
1219
+ There, every widget loses half a rem of trailing space. Grep your stylesheets for
1220
+ `.widgetContainer` and check the pages the matching selectors reach. Rules that
1221
+ need content still match what they always matched — an empty wrapper never
1222
+ satisfied `.label.widgetContainer` or `.widgetContainer:has(…)`.
1223
+
1224
+ #### `MATRIX` and `YOUTUBE_PLAYER` now obey `isVisible` and get their `cssClass`
1225
+
1226
+ Those two branches sat outside the `@if (isVisible)` guard and outside the
1227
+ `<div [ngClass]="cssClass" class="container">` every other type lives in, so
1228
+ `isVisible: false` did not hide them and `cssClass` never reached them. Both are
1229
+ inside now. If a backend view relies on a matrix rendering while marked invisible,
1230
+ it will stop rendering.
1231
+
1232
+ #### A container keeps its invisible children
1233
+
1234
+ A `CONTAINER` widget's `ngOnInit` used to overwrite `widgetInstance.valueList`
1235
+ with the visible subset, destroying the invisible children in the model the
1236
+ backend sent. The visible subset is derived per check now, so the model stays
1237
+ whole and a later `applyConstraints()` that flips a child's `isVisible` brings it
1238
+ back — which it could not before. The DOM is unchanged: the same children render.
1239
+
1240
+ Side effect worth knowing: the model walks that recurse into a container's
1241
+ `valueList` (`applyComponentConstraints`, `copyValueFromFormToWidgetBeans`,
1242
+ `translateWidgets`) now see the invisible children too. Their form controls always
1243
+ existed — `createFormControls` runs over the whole model before any widget renders
1244
+ — so this only makes the widget beans agree with the controls.
1245
+
1246
+ #### A YouTube shorts link resolves
1247
+
1248
+ `parseYoutubeUrl` threw away its own `replace('/shorts/', '/watch?v=')`, so a
1249
+ shorts link produced no player. It plays now.
1250
+
1251
+ #### Removed from the public API
1252
+
1253
+ | Removed | Replacement |
1254
+ |---|---|
1255
+ | `SmartformwidgetComponent` | nothing — no host imported the class; `<smartform>` still renders it. 7.1 splits it into per-type components |
1256
+ | `SmartWidgetSettings` (its only member was `static useUtc`) | nothing — **delete the assignment** |
1257
+
1258
+ 3.6 moved the `useUtc` static into `SmartNgClientConfig.useUtcDates`; **3.8 then removed the
1259
+ field altogether**, together with the moment adapter it fed. If you set
1260
+ `SmartWidgetSettings.useUtc = true` before bootstrap, delete that line and read
1261
+ [Dates §4](#4-smartngclientconfiguseutcdates-is-removed) — the timezone contract is fixed now,
1262
+ and the flag defaulted to `false` everywhere anyway.
1263
+
1264
+ #### What deliberately did not change
1265
+
1266
+ A required field is marked in both label positions, by two different mechanisms:
1267
+ a shown label (`showLabel: true`) is the widget's own `<h4>` and carries a literal
1268
+ ` *`; a `mat-label` sits inside a `mat-form-field`, which renders
1269
+ `.mat-mdc-form-field-required-marker` from the control's own validators. That is
1270
+ why `getWidgetLabel` ties its asterisk to `showLabel` — dropping the condition
1271
+ would mark the floating label twice.
1272
+
1273
+ ### Change detection: frozen action entries, no zone.js (Phase 3.7)
1274
+
1275
+ 7.0 runs without zone.js. Every component of the library is `OnPush` — nothing is checked
1276
+ just because something, somewhere, ticked — and the library says when its own state changed.
1277
+ Two consequences reach a host.
1278
+
1279
+ #### A `UiActionModel` is frozen: build an entry, never edit one
1280
+
1281
+ Every field is `readonly`, and `[uiActionModels]` takes `readonly UiActionModel[]`.
1282
+
1283
+ ```ts
1284
+ // before — compiles on 6.x, and on 7.0 changes nothing on screen
1285
+ entry.cssClass = 'active-nav-action';
1286
+
1287
+ // after
1288
+ this.actions = this.actions.map((a) =>
1289
+ a.uiAction.code === code ? { ...a, cssClass: 'active-nav-action' } : a
1290
+ );
1291
+ ```
1292
+
1293
+ Measured across the 12 hosts in scope (2026-07-28): **72 sites in 7 hosts**, all of them
1294
+ `cssClass` — p009-angular alone has 38, p014 and p043 12 each. The codemod prints every one
1295
+ of them with its line number; it cannot rewrite them, because only you know which array the
1296
+ entry belongs to.
1297
+
1298
+ The compile error and the fix are the same thing. Writing into an entry that a toolbar is
1299
+ already rendering never reached the screen under zone.js either — it worked only because
1300
+ some other event happened to tick the application. Rebuilding the array is what actually
1301
+ re-renders.
1302
+
1303
+ **The gap this does not close.** `this.actions[0] = { ...this.actions[0], cssClass: 'x' }`
1304
+ compiles: `actions` is your field, and the freeze only covers the entries. It keeps the same
1305
+ array reference, so the toolbar does not re-render. Reassign the array — or, if you hold it
1306
+ in a `signal`, `update()` it.
1307
+
1308
+ The descriptor a toolbar resolves is no longer written back into the entry either. Nothing
1309
+ outside the toolbar read it; if you did, resolve it yourself through
1310
+ `UiActionDescriptorService.getActionDescriptor(uiAction)` — which is
1311
+ [synchronous in 7.0](#getactiondescriptor-is-synchronous-phase-39).
1312
+
1313
+ #### Client-side translation is gone
1314
+
1315
+ `SmartTranslateService`, `viewContext.translateService` and the `translateServiceChanged`
1316
+ subject are removed, together with `originalLabel` / `originalPlaceholder` on the widget
1317
+ interfaces. No measured host assigned any of them — the three references in p014/p043 were
1318
+ unused imports — and the backend localizes server-side.
1319
+
1320
+ What the frontend authors itself is now configuration:
1321
+
1322
+ ```ts
1323
+ provideSmartNgClient({
1324
+ errorDialog: { title: 'Hiba', message: 'Váratlan hiba történt.', buttonLabel: 'Rendben' },
1325
+ });
1326
+ ```
1327
+
1328
+ `SmartViewContextService.getSmartViewContextApiErrorByCode()` is no longer `async`.
1329
+
1330
+ #### If your host still bootstraps with zone.js
1331
+
1332
+ Nothing forces you to drop it — the library works either way, because it no longer depends
1333
+ on an application-wide tick. The playground runs `provideZonelessChangeDetection()` with no
1334
+ `zone.js` polyfill, and that is the configuration 7.0 is tested in.
1335
+
1336
+ If you do go zoneless, the same rule applies to your own components: state written from a
1337
+ subscription, a promise or a timer needs a signal or a `markForCheck()`; state written from a
1338
+ template event or an input does not.
1339
+
1340
+ ### Dates: moment → date-fns, and the timezone contract (Phase 3.8)
1341
+
1342
+ **This section needs action at install time.** The reasoning is ADR-0008 in the
1343
+ `platform-angular2` working copy; the contract itself is stated in §4 below.
1344
+
1345
+ #### 1. Swap the peer dependency
1346
+
1347
+ `@angular/material-moment-adapter` is out of the library's `peerDependencies`;
1348
+ `@angular/material-date-fns-adapter` and `date-fns` are in. `date-fns` is listed explicitly
1349
+ rather than left transitive, because the library imports `date-fns/locale` itself.
1350
+
1351
+ ```bash
1352
+ npm uninstall @angular/material-moment-adapter moment
1353
+ npm install @angular/material-date-fns-adapter@^22.0.0 date-fns@^4
1354
+ ```
1355
+
1356
+ If your own code imports moment for something unrelated, keep it — nothing here forces its
1357
+ removal, only the adapter's.
1358
+
1359
+ **But check *how* it imports moment.** `import * as moment from 'moment'` stops being callable
1360
+ under `moduleResolution: "bundler"`, which the Angular 20 hop turns on: moment is an
1361
+ `export =` module, and a namespace import of one is not a callable value. The symptom is
1362
+ **`TS2349: This expression is not callable`** on every `moment(...)` call, and it arrives at the
1363
+ Angular 20 hop rather than at this step. Two ways out:
1364
+
1365
+ - `esModuleInterop: true` plus `import moment from 'moment'` — correct, but it changes how every
1366
+ CommonJS import in the app resolves, which is a wide blast radius for one file.
1367
+ - Replace the calls. Worth checking first how much moment is actually doing: in p014 the three
1368
+ surviving calls were `moment(new Date()).toDate()` (i.e. `new Date()`) and two moments compared
1369
+ with `<=` (`Date` compares through `valueOf()` identically). All three became plain `Date`s, and
1370
+ **nothing under `src/` imported moment any more** — so the `npm uninstall … moment` above was
1371
+ right for that host after all, just for a reason nobody predicted.
1372
+
1373
+ #### 2. Leave your `MAT_DATE_LOCALE` provider alone
1374
+
1375
+ If you have this line — p014 and p043 both do — **keep it as it is**:
1376
+
1377
+ ```ts
1378
+ { provide: MAT_DATE_LOCALE, useValue: 'hu-HU' },
1379
+ ```
1380
+
1381
+ The strict reading of the date-fns adapter would require a `Locale` **object** here, and a bare
1382
+ string would throw inside date-fns the first time a user opened a date field. The library's
1383
+ `SmartDateFnsAdapter` accepts both: it resolves `'hu'` / `'hu-HU'` / `'en'` / `'en-US'`
1384
+ (case-insensitively) to a date-fns locale, passes a real `Locale` object through untouched, and
1385
+ falls back to Hungarian with a `console.warn` for anything else.
1386
+
1387
+ So: **hosts on Hungarian or English need no change.** For any other language, provide a real
1388
+ date-fns locale:
1389
+
1390
+ ```ts
1391
+ import { de } from 'date-fns/locale';
1392
+ …
1393
+ { provide: MAT_DATE_LOCALE, useValue: de },
1394
+ ```
1395
+
1396
+ `SmartNgClientConfig.dateLocale` is unchanged — still a `string`, still defaulting to `'hu-HU'`.
1397

1398
+ #### 3. If you override `MAT_DATE_FORMATS`, your format strings will throw — and you probably want to delete the override
1399
+
1400
+ Measured across 12 hosts on 2026-07-28: three of them (**p014**, **p043**, **p009-angular**)
1401
+ provide their own formats next to the locale, and two more (`app-vlab`, `app-tournament`) have the
1402
+ same line commented out:
1403
+
1404
+ ```ts
1405
+ { provide: MAT_DATE_FORMATS, useValue: MY_FORMATS },
1406
+ ```
1407
+
1408
+ with
1409
+
1410
+ ```ts
1411
+ export const MY_FORMATS = {
1412
+ parse: { dateInput: 'YYYY.MM.DD' },
1413
+ display: { dateInput: 'YYYY.MM.DD', monthYearLabel: 'YYYY',
1414
+ dateA11yLabel: 'LL', monthYearA11yLabel: 'YYYY' },
1415
+ };
1416
+ ```
1417
+
1418
+ Those are **moment tokens**. date-fns treats `YYYY`, `DD`, `YY` and `D` as *protected* and throws a
1419
+ `RangeError` on them, and its `LL` means something else entirely (stand-alone month, not a
1420
+ localized long date). So this override **crashes at runtime, on the first screen with a date
1421
+ field** — the same failure shape as the string locale above, and just as invisible to the compiler.
1422
+
1423
+ **The fix is almost certainly deletion.** That `MY_FORMATS` exists to render `YYYY.MM.DD`, which is
1424
+ exactly what the library's own `SMART_DATE_FORMATS` now produces (`2026.07.28.`). Drop the
1425
+ provider and the constant and you get the format you wanted, plus the more forgiving parsing.
1426
+
1427
+ If you genuinely need a different format, translate the tokens rather than copying them:
1428
+
1429
+ | moment | date-fns |
1430
+ |---|---|
1431
+ | `YYYY` | `yyyy` |
1432
+ | `DD` | `dd` |
1433
+ | `LL` | `PP` (or spell it out: `yyyy. MMMM d.`) |
1434
+ | `MMM YYYY` | `yyyy. LLL` |
1435
+
1436
+ Note that the library's `parse.dateInput` is an **array** — `DateFnsAdapter._parse` tries each entry
1437
+ in turn (and ISO-8601 first), so you can list several accepted spellings instead of one.
1438
+
1439
+ #### 4. `SmartNgClientConfig.useUtcDates` is removed
1440
+
1441
+ Delete it if you set it. No known host does. It existed for a client-configurable timezone that
1442
+ was abandoned as a requirement; the contract is now fixed and explicit:
1443
+
1444
+ > **The browser's zone on screen. Zulu (`…Z`) on the wire. The server converts.**
1445
+
1446
+ This is unchanged behaviour in practice — `useUtcDates` defaulted to `false`, and the moment
1447
+ adapter with `useUtc: false` behaves exactly like a plain `Date`.
1448
+
1449
+ #### 5. What a date widget's value now *is*
1450
+
1451
+ Form control values from the date pickers are plain **`Date`** objects, where they were
1452
+ `Moment` objects. The values reach your backend through a `UiActionRequest` param, so the wire
1453
+ format is `JSON.stringify` of that value — and `Date.toJSON()` emits the same ISO-8601 UTC string
1454
+ `Moment.toJSON()` did. **Nothing changes on the wire.** Only host code that read a value out of a
1455
+ form control and called a moment method on it (`.format()`, `.add()`, `.startOf()`) needs
1456
+ rewriting; the platform APIs never exposed a `Moment` in a signature.
1457
+
1458
+ #### 6. The one visible difference
1459
+
1460
+ Date inputs render **`2026.07.28.`** where 6.x rendered `2026.7.28.` — the documented `YYYY.MM.DD`
1461
+ convention. The old rendering was not a decision: `MAT_MOMENT_DATE_FORMATS` used moment's `'l'`,
1462
+ which strips the zero padding off the Hungarian `L`. Typed input is **more** forgiving than 6.x,
1463
+ not less: `2026.07.28.`, `2026.07.28`, `2026.7.28.`, `2026.7.28` and ISO-8601 are all accepted.
1464
+
1465
+ The month picker is unchanged (`07/2026`), and grid/table date columns were never affected —
1466
+ `SmartDatePipe` and friends extend Angular's own `DatePipe` and never used moment.
1467
+
1468
+ **Verified on a running host** (p014, 2026-07-29, live backend, `Europe/Budapest`). Picking
1469
+ 2026-07-15 in a `Kezdődátum` field gave, end to end:
1470
+
1471
+ | | |
1472
+ |---|---|
1473
+ | input | `2026.07.15.` |
1474
+ | widget value | `instanceof Date` — not a moment, not a luxon `DateTime` |
1475
+ | `JSON.stringify` of that value | `"2026-07-14T22:00:00.000Z"` |
1476
+ | `getHours()` | `0` |
1477
+
1478
+ That third row is the whole contract in one line: the value's `toJSON()` **is** the wire format
1479
+ (see §4), and it is zulu, while the screen and `getHours()` stay local — 15 July 00:00 CEST is
1480
+ 14 July 22:00 UTC. A grid column on the same host rendered `2026.04.20 0:03`, confirming the
1481
+ untouched pipe path.
1482
+
1483
+ ### HTTP: the library no longer forces the XHR backend (Phase 3.8)
1484
+
1485
+ `provideSmartNgClient()` used to pass `withXhr()` to its internal `provideHttpClient()` call,
1486
+ overriding the Angular 22 default on your behalf. It no longer does — the application runs on the
1487
+ framework default **fetch** backend.
1488
+
1489
+ For almost every host this is invisible. The one behavioural difference that matters: **the fetch
1490
+ backend does not support upload progress.** A request with `reportProgress: true` and a body
1491
+ throws `NG2824` instead of emitting `HttpUploadProgress` events.
1492
+
1493
+ Measured 2026-07-28 across 12 hosts: **`reportProgress: true` and `observe: 'events'` appear
1494
+ nowhere** outside the generated API services' unused parameters. So this is a theoretical risk for
1495
+ the current host set, not a live one. If *your* code does ask for upload progress, pass the
1496
+ feature back in:
1497
+
1498
+ ```ts
1499
+ import { withXhr } from '@angular/common/http';
1500
+
1501
+ provideSmartNgClient({ httpFeatures: [withXhr()] })
1502
+ ```
1503
+
1504
+ The upside is that the "**do not call `provideHttpClient()` twice**" trap this guide warned about
1505
+ is gone rather than merely documented: a second call now re-provides the same backend the library
1506
+ already uses. The library's interceptors were never at risk from it — they are `multi` providers.
1507
+
1508
+ ### `getActionDescriptor()` is synchronous (Phase 3.9)
1509
+
1510
+ `UiActionDescriptorService.getActionDescriptor(uiAction)` returns a `UiActionDescriptor`.
1511
+ It used to return a `Promise<UiActionDescriptor>`, and it was `async` for exactly one
1512
+ reason: the client-side translation layer that [Phase 3.7](#client-side-translation-is-gone)
1513
+ retired. Nothing it reads has been asynchronous since, so every caller was awaiting a value
1514
+ that was already there.
1515
+
1516
+ **If you only `await` the call, you are already fine.** `await` on a non-promise is legal
1517
+ TypeScript, so this compiles and behaves identically before and after. The codemod drops the
1518
+ `await` anyway, so the code stops claiming an asynchrony that is not there:
1519
+
1520
+ ```ts
1521
+ const descriptor = await this.uiActionDescriptor.getActionDescriptor(uiAction); // 6.x
1522
+ const descriptor = this.uiActionDescriptor.getActionDescriptor(uiAction); // 7.0
1523
+ ```
1524
+
1525
+ Two shapes genuinely break. Measured 2026-07-28 across the 12 hosts in scope: **5 hosts,
1526
+ 7 sites** — and none of them in a host's own `getActionDescriptor**s**()` map helper, which
1527
+ is an unrelated API and is left alone.
1528
+
1529
+ **1. A subclass that overrides it** — `TS2416`, because `Promise<UiActionDescriptor>` is not
1530
+ assignable to `UiActionDescriptor`. Found in three hosts, as a byte-identical
1531
+ `MdmUiActionDescriptorService`. **The codemod rewrites this one.**
1532
+
1533
+ ```ts
1534
+ // 6.x
1535
+ override async getActionDescriptor(uiAction: UiAction): Promise<UiActionDescriptor> {
1536
+ let d: UiActionDescriptor = await super.getActionDescriptor(basicUiAction);
1537
+ …
1538
+ }
1539
+
1540
+ // 7.0
1541
+ override getActionDescriptor(uiAction: UiAction): UiActionDescriptor {
1542
+ let d: UiActionDescriptor = super.getActionDescriptor(basicUiAction);
1543
+ …
1544
+ }
1545
+ ```
1546
+
1547
+ This is also the service you hand to a toolbar through `[uiActionDescriptorService]`, so a
1548
+ host with a custom one hits this at compile time rather than on screen.
1549
+
1550
+ **2. `.then(…)` on the result** — `TS2339`, because a descriptor has no `.then`. Found in
1551
+ two hosts, four sites. **The codemod reports this one and does not rewrite it**: turning a
1552
+ callback into straight-line code means moving its body, which is a judgment call. The fix is
1553
+ mechanical anyway — assign, then inline:
1554
+
1555
+ ```ts
1556
+ // 6.x
1557
+ constructForm() {
1558
+ this.actionDescriptorService.getActionDescriptor(this.uiAction).then((d) => {
1559
+ this.buttonTitle = d.title;
1560
+ this.buttonColor = d.color;
1561
+ });
1562
+ …
1563
+ }
1564
+
1565
+ // 7.0
1566
+ constructForm() {
1567
+ const d = this.actionDescriptorService.getActionDescriptor(this.uiAction);
1568
+ this.buttonTitle = d.title;
1569
+ this.buttonColor = d.color;
1570
+ …
1571
+ }
1572
+ ```
1573
+
1574
+ If the callback was the reason a field lived in a `signal` — because the value arrived after
1575
+ the first render — it no longer needs to. The library made that same simplification in its
1576
+ own three action dialogs and its snack bar.
1577
+
1578
+ **What went synchronous with it, inside the library:** the toolbar's descriptor resolution,
1579
+ `SmartGridComponent`'s header construction, and `SmartTreeGenericService.cacheActionDesciptors()`
1580
+ and **`syncTree()`**. `syncTree()` now returns `void`, which is what
1581
+ `SmartTreeServiceInterface` always declared; a host that calls it and discards the result —
1582
+ the only shape measured — needs no change, and a host that `await`s it still compiles.
1583
+
1584
+ #### The same cleanup, elsewhere: `SmartdialogService.closeDialog()` returns `void`
1585
+
1586
+ A sweep for the same shape found eight more library functions declared `async` with nothing
1587
+ asynchronous in them. Only one of them is on a surface a host touches:
1588
+ **`SmartdialogService.closeDialog(stopPropagate?)` returns `void`** instead of
1589
+ `Promise<void>`.
1590
+
1591
+ **Nothing to do.** Both measured hosts that extend `SmartdialogService` override this method
1592
+ as `override async closeDialog(): Promise<void>`, and that **still compiles**: TypeScript
1593
+ accepts any return type where the base declares `void`. `await this.closeDialog()` keeps
1594
+ compiling too. This is the difference from `getActionDescriptor` above — that one returns a
1595
+ *value*, which is why the same override shape fails there with `TS2416` and not here.
1596
+
1597
+ You may of course drop the `async` from your own override; nothing requires it.
1598
+
1599
+ ### Upload actions now wait for the server, and report their failures (Phase 3.9)
1600
+
1601
+ **This one changes behaviour, on purpose.** `SmartViewContextService.performUploadAction()`
1602
+ and `performUploadMultipleAction()` used to start the upload and resolve immediately,
1603
+ without waiting for it and without passing on its failure. Every other action in the family
1604
+ (`performAction`, `performWidgetAction`, `performWidgetMainAction`, `dataChanged`) always
1605
+ waited; the two upload ones were an omission.
1606
+
1607
+ Two things follow, and both are visible in a running app:
1608
+
1609
+ 1. **An upload action now blocks until the server has answered.** Before, the action was
1610
+ "done" the moment the request went out — so `UiActionService` showed its success snackbar
1611
+ over an upload that was still in flight, and anything the action was sequenced before ran
1612
+ against a view the server had not updated yet. Now the snackbar appears when the upload
1613
+ really has succeeded. On a large file that is a longer wait than 6.x showed you.
1614
+
1615
+ 2. **A failed upload now reaches your error handling.** The rejection used to be dropped —
1616
+ it became an unhandled promise rejection, `UiActionService`'s `catch` never ran, and the
1617
+ user was told the upload had worked. It now propagates, which means
1618
+ `setActionErrorHandler()` (or the default error dialog) will fire on upload failures it
1619
+ never fired on before. **If your host reports "new" upload errors after upgrading, they
1620
+ are not new** — they were happening silently.
1621
+
1622
+ Multi-file uploads also go out **one batch at a time** now. The batches were already being
1623
+ computed from the descriptor's `maxSize` and `maxBatchSize`, but they were then all sent at
1624
+ once, which put the whole set on the server simultaneously and defeated the split. If your
1625
+ backend measured upload concurrency, this is why it drops.
1626
+
1627
+ Nothing to change in host code.
1628
+
1629
+ ### New in 7.0: a grid row can render a backend layout (#29717)
1630
+
1631
+ A card-mode grid row that carries `layoutDescriptor.componentLayouts['GRID_ROW_LAYOUT']`
1632
+ renders that layout instead of the card component the host registered under
1633
+ `'<GRID_ID>Card'`. Both branches stay: a row without the descriptor behaves exactly as
1634
+ before, and this needs no host change.
1635
+
1636
+ Two consequences worth knowing if you style or extend it:
1637
+
1638
+ - The rendered layout's root element gets the `gridCardLayout` class, applied by the card to
1639
+ its own child rather than pushed into the `style.classesToAdd` of the object the backend
1640
+ sent. Nothing mutates the server model.
1641
+ - **The row's actions reach the layout's toolbars by a pull, not a walk.** The card provides
1642
+ a `SmartActionHost` for its row subtree and writes the row's action list into it; a toolbar
1643
+ inside the layout resolves that host before falling back to the page client. If you build
1644
+ a component that owns such a subtree, do the same — `WIDGETS.md`, *Toolbars*.
1645
+
1646
+ This shipped in 7.0.0 rather than as a 6.0.3x patch because it is built on the inverted
1647
+ widget contract that 7.0 introduces.
1648
+
1649
+ ### Writing your own widget
1650
+
1651
+ `WIDGETS.md`, next to this file, is the protocol: how a widget finds its screen component
1652
+ through DI and registers itself, when to opt out with `[smartComponentDetached]`, what has to
1653
+ be a signal now that there is no zone, how a toolbar resolves its actions, and the three
1654
+ traps that have actually bitten (imperatively-fed inputs cannot be signal inputs; `@for`
1655
+ tracking over backend objects; clear-then-apply styling).
1656
+
1657
+ In 6.x this was not possible at all — `SmartComponentApiClient` collected its children with
1658
+ eight `@ViewChildren` over eight concrete widget classes.
1659
+
1660
+ ### Imperatively created components are given their inputs properly
1661
+
1662
+ `ComponentFactoryService` creates the components the library instantiates by hand — grid
1663
+ cards, expanded rows, table cell components, the expandable section's content, the form's
1664
+ `COMPONENT` widget, the filter editor's field editors — and most of those classes come from a
1665
+ host. It used to write their inputs by assigning the field. Two things follow, and both are
1666
+ fixed:
1667
+
1668
+ - **A declared input is now written with `ref.setInput()`**, i.e. the same way a template
1669
+ binding writes it. So a **signal input** works (assignment used to overwrite the input
1670
+ function with the value, and the component's next `this.x()` threw `x is not a function`),
1671
+ an **aliased** input is addressable under either name, and **`ngOnChanges` runs**.
1672
+ - **Falsy values arrive.** The old guard was `if (value)`, so `false`, `0` and `''` never
1673
+ reached the component. Only `undefined` is skipped now, which keeps meaning "not passed".
1674
+
1675
+ If your component takes something from the library this way and the key is **not** a declared
1676
+ input, the field is still assigned — nothing breaks — but you get one `console.warn` per
1677
+ component type and key. Declaring it with `@Input()` (or as a signal input) is the fix.
1678
+
1679
+ **Check your falsy defaults.** If a host component relied on the old guard — expecting to
1680
+ keep its own default when the library passed `false` or `''` — it now receives the value.
1681
+ This is the only part of 7.0 where a bugfix can change what you see on screen without any
1682
+ code of yours changing.
1683
+
1684
+ ### Bugfixes shipped with 7.0
1685
+
1686
+ - `SmartformwidgetComponent.ngAfterViewInit` no longer crashes with
1687
+ `Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'valueChanges')` when the form
1688
+ contains a `MONTH_PICKER` widget (it wrongly subscribed to the non-existent
1689
+ `<key>-time` control; only `DATE_TIME_PICKER` has one).
1690
+ - A widget nested in a CONTAINER receives `blurSophisticatedValueChange`; the recursion never
1691
+ passed it down, so a BLUR-mode child would have thrown on blur.
1692
+ - `SmartformComponent` reaches widgets nested in a CONTAINER when it changes them in place
1693
+ (values, constraints, the touched state after a failed submit). The view query it used
1694
+ could not see them.
1695
+ - `UiActionDescriptorService` no longer shares one dialog object between actions. Any action
1696
+ whose descriptor had no `dialog` of its own was given the service's single placeholder — the
1697
+ same object every time — and had its title and button caption written into it, so resolving
1698
+ one action renamed the dialog every other one was holding. The service is
1699
+ `providedIn: 'root'`, so this outlasted the view.
1700
+
1701
+ What you saw on screen, measured on both versions:
1702
+
1703
+ | The action | 6.x, when the dialog opened | 7.0 |
1704
+ |---|---|---|
1705
+ | described by the backend, no dialog of its own | **another action's code** | its own code |
1706
+ | described by nothing at all | **another action's code**, or empty | empty |
1707
+ | registered client-side, no dialog of its own | its own code | unchanged |
1708
+
1709
+ The middle column is not a typo. An action the backend describes is resolved twice in the
1710
+ normal flow — once when the toolbar renders it, again when the dialog it opens resolves it
1711
+ for itself — and the first resolution wrote a dialog onto the action's own descriptor, so the
1712
+ second one skipped the step that fills in the title. What the dialog then showed was whatever
1713
+ code had last passed through the shared object. An **already open** dialog could change too,
1714
+ since its title is re-read on every change-detection pass.
1715
+
1716
+ An action nothing describes still gets an untitled placeholder dialog: its *button* carries
1717
+ the code, the dialog does not. That is unchanged and deliberate — such an action is a gap in
1718
+ the host's descriptor map, and this is the honest rendering of it.
1719
+
1720
+ A resolved descriptor is now the caller's own object throughout, which also means
1721
+ `getActionDescriptor()` no longer writes a placeholder dialog and a `SNACKBAR` feedbackType
1722
+ into the `descriptor` the backend put on the action itself.
