Ivy Support

[vanslly]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Angular 8 has the Ivy renderer as an opt-in, but when I create a new Angular 8 app with ivy enabled certain properties (like [paging]="true") causes build errors with igniteui-angular@8.1.8. When is full Ivy support scheduled for?

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to enable ivy in my application so I get a faster application with a smaller bundle size, but igniteui-angular@8.1.8 does not fully work with Ivy. I would also like ivy support tracked so I'll know when igniteui-angular is fully Ivy-ready.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

I've investigated the issue a bit and turns out IgxGridComponent extends IgxGridBaseComponent is currently a problem for Ivy because angular/angular#30080

Indeed the change between abstract classes and Angular metadata (@Inputs/@Outputs/etc.) is unfortunate. Ivy is set to be the default compiler/rendering pipeline in Angular version 9 and as such this is the version that we're targeting

Definitely waiting for this one as well. Angular 9 should be in beta any day now 👍

@Eralmidia , @vanslly , we just published version 9.0.0-beta.1 which should work under Ivy in the latest Angular 9 betas. If you have time to test it with your Ivy-enabled apps, please do. The sooner we identify any additional incompatibilities the better.

Currently the only known issue is that igxCombo won't select any elements because of an issue with angular that we logged - angular/angular#33300

(we don't plan on supporting Ivy with Angular 8. The earliest Angular 9 beta we tested with and feel is stable enough is 9.0.0-next.9 )

Ivy support is considered - complete. Remaining issues are covered by #6175
