question: migration from ng-forward

[david-gang]

Hi,

What would I need to do to migrate from ng-forward to ng-metadata?
Is there a sort of guide line?

Thanks,
David

I don't think it should be that much of a change if you are already using TypeScript. From looking at the APIs here are some things I notice.

• Import from ng-metadata, usually ng-metadata/core, instead of ng-forward
• the @Inject decorator is done in the constructor params instead of on the class
• the @StateConfig decorator is not supported. Use a config block instead
• ng-metadata uses a provide helper to define an annotated class with classic ng1 modules or you can use the bundle function
• The Angular 2 test helpers are not yet implemented (see backport angular 2 unit testing capabilities #93)

It might be good to create a migration document in the ng-forward repo.

Last Friday I made de migration from ng-forward to ng-metadata and everything seems to be fine.

Another tip for those who want to migrate from ng-forward:

• In the templates, the component scope is $ctrl, instead of ctrl
