COMMON_DIRECTIVES

A collection of Angular core directives that are likely to be used in each and every Angular application. This includes core directives (e.g., NgIf and NgFor), and forms directives (e.g., NgModel).

This collection can be used to quickly enumerate all the built-in directives in the directives property of the @Component annotation.

Example

Instead of writing:

import 'package:angular2/common.dart'
    show
        NgClass,
        NgIf,
        NgFor,
        NgSwitch,
        NgSwitchWhen,
        NgSwitchDefault,
        NgModel,
        NgForm;
import 'my_directives.dart' show OtherDirective;
 
@Component(
    selector: 'my-component',
    templateUrl: 'my_component.html',
    directives: const [
      NgClass,
      NgIf,
      NgFor,
      NgSwitch,
      NgSwitchWhen,
      NgSwitchDefault,
      NgModel,
      NgForm,
      OtherDirective
    ])
class MyComponent {
  ...
}

One could import all the core directives at once:

import 'angular2/common.dart' show COMMON_DIRECTIVES;
import 'my_directives.dart' show OtherDirective;
 
@Component(
    selector: 'my-component',
    templateUrl: 'my_component.html',
    directives: const [COMMON_DIRECTIVES, OtherDirective])
class MyComponent {
  ...
}
