[SUPPORT] : Compatibility with angular 5+

[dev-fullstacktechnology]

Overview of the issue

This is general support query with compatibility with angular 5 version since it was released recently. They made many changes so I am sure someone got an issue with the new update. If you have any then please comment here.

Suggestion

It is good to pass your debug snapshot with support so we can track common issues.

I will do a test tonight. I don't think it will break a lot.
I will also update to v5 the demo project.

[dev-fullstacktechnology]

Sounds great to me. Maybe the only couple of minor bugs. I will also check tonight and send you a message.

I checked in by generate a project from scratch by using angular-cli v1.5 and no errors are been detected. Everything looks good.

[vogloblinsky]

Demo project updated to Angular 5, Compodoc works fine on it.

@dev-fullstacktechnology if you have any remarks, you are welcome.

Any chance you all can relax the TypeScript version requirement? The 5.0.0 release came out and @angular/compiler-cli depends on tsickle 0.24.1 which is locked to TypeScript 2.4.2. Since compodoc 1.0.4 is locked to 2.6.1, one ends up with NPM dependency errors when trying to use it with a Angular app.

I cloned compodoc 1.0.4, changed the TypeScript requirement to ^2.4.2 and ran npm install && npm run build && run test. It seems to be okay with the slightly older version.

Never mind. I flubbed that and still installed 2.6.1. When I replaced it with version 2.4.2, NPM ends in an unmet dependency from ts-simple-ast (0.86.0), which is also locked to TypeScript 2.6.1. Compodoc's tests still pass despite the minor version change in TypeScript.

yes, angular 5 is locked to typescript@2.4.2 maybe an older ts-simple-ast not depending on typescript@2.6.1 will do the job, too?

[vogloblinsky]

I will contact ts-simple-ast maintainer for having a explantion about this high dependency of TypeScript 2.6.x

[vogloblinsky]

Things are moving.
I have submitted a PR to ts-simple-ast to relax TypeScript dependency.
When dsherret/ts-morph#144 is closed, i will close this one too.

[vogloblinsky]

dsherret/ts-morph#144 closed, version 4.2.0 of ts-simple-ast relax TypeScript version. I also downgrade the version required by Compodoc.
Coming in 1.0.6
