Breaking Changes
- The Breeze Angular2 bridge is no longer an injectable service. It has been changed to an NgModule
Prerequisites
- Breeze client npm package 1.5.12 or higher
- Angular 2.0.0 or higher
Installation
Install breeze-client
npm install breeze-client --saveInstall breeze-bridge-angular2
npm install breeze-bridge-angular2 --save
Usage
A comprehensive example app that makes use of the bridge can be found here: https://github.com/Breeze/temphire.angular2.
To use the bridge in your own application, the following steps are required.
Configure breeze-client and breeze-bridge-angular2 in systemjs.config.js.
// map tells the System loader where to look for things
var map = {
...
'breeze-client': 'node_modules/breeze-client',
'breeze-bridge-angular2': 'node_modules/breeze-bridge-angular2'
};
// packages tells the System loader how to load when no filename and/or no extension
var packages = {
...
'breeze-client': { main: 'breeze.debug.js', defaultExtension: 'js'},
'breeze-bridge-angular2': { main: 'index.js', defaultExtension: 'js'}
};Import BreezeBridgeAngular2Module and add it to the app module's imports.
import { BreezeBridgeAngular2Module } from 'breeze-bridge-angular2';@NgModule({
imports: [
BreezeBridgeAngular2Module
],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }Now we can use Breeze normally from something like a data service for example.
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { EntityManager, EntityQuery } from 'breeze-client';
import { Customer } from './entities';
@Injectable()
export class DataService {
private _em: EntityManager;
constructor() {
this._em = new EntityManager();
}
getAllCustomers(): Promise<Customer[]> {
let query = EntityQuery.from('Customers').orderBy('companyName');
return <Promise<Customer[]>><any> this._em.executeQuery(query)
.then(res => res.results)
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error);
return Promise.reject(error);
});
}
}Notice that we are also importing breeze-client instead of loading it as a static script as you might have seen in other examples. Make sure you don't have an extra script tag in your index.html that attempts to statically load breeze.debug.js or similar.
Example index.html:
<html>
<head>
<title>Angular 2 QuickStart</title>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">

<script src="node_modules/reflect-metadata/Reflect.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js"></script>
<script src="systemjs.config.js"></script>
<script>
System.import('app').catch(function(err){ console.error(err); });
</script>
</head>
