Angular 2 and 4 support drop

In order to support Angular CLI 6 we had to drop the support for older versions, the only supported versions are now: v5 and v6. You can update your Angular 4 application pretty easily by following this guide: https://update.angular.io/.

If you are using Angular v6 you will need an extra step, polyfill process.env by adding in your src/polyfill.ts:

(window as any).process = {env: {}};

Widget prefix

The ng- prefix is considered reserverd for core implementations into Angular so we dropped it. All the widgets are now only starting with ais-:

<ais-instantsearch [config]="{...}">
  <ais-hits>
    <ng-template let-hits="hits">
      <div *ngFor="let hit of hits">
        Hit {{hit.objectID}}:
        <ais-highlight attribute="name" [hit]="hit">
        </ais-highlight>
      </div>
    </ng-template>
  </ais-hits>
</ais-instantsearch>

Server side rendering

• The createSSRAlgoliaClient util has been renamed to createSSRSearchClient
• You cannot use the new routing: true option on <ais-instantsearch> widget until resolution of preboot#82
