Devextreme-angular: IVY Support

[agustins]

Feature request

Package versions you currently use:

devexteme version: 19.1.3
devextreme-angular version: 19.1.3

Description:
Now with Angular 8 we can compile using IVY. But devextreme components fails with the following message:
node_modules/devextreme-angular/ui/data-grid.d.ts(1227,22): error TS-996002: Appears in the NgModule.imports of xxxxxx, but could not be resolved to an NgModule class

It's in your plans to support ivy renderer? I dont see it in your roadmap.

Hi,
 
Yes, we'll keep 'Ivy' on our radar and have plans to support it. Please stay tuned.

Hi, what is the status? Is there a version defined for this support?

[xxGizmoCodexx]

Facing the same issue with our project's upgrade. Please keep us posted on info on plans for this feature

[jakehockey10]

very interested in this topic

What does "on our radar" mean? Does it mean that you know that your components don't work with Ivy or does it mean that you have plans to fix them?

[hakimio]

@jamra They have plans to fix it (quote: [we] have plans to support it). I would guess they will do that for the next major release coming around November.
Anyway, Ivy is still not considered stable, what's the rush?

[jamra]

@hakimio I understand what "plans to support it" means. I just want to know if "on our radar" means sometime next year or in the next couple months.

I need to make decisions based on these timelines and vague statements about time are concerning to me. If "plans to support it" and "on our radar" mean in a year or so, I will need to start looking into other components now as to prepare.

[NickMitrokhin]

@jamra If all goes according to plan, we will support Ivy in 19.2, which will be released in November.

[jamra]

@NickMitrokhin Thank you that's very nice to hear. Is it an issue with bundling or are there deeper issues that need to be changed in the core?

[NickMitrokhin]

There are a lot of issues with IVY of different complexity. Here you will find several of them.

Angular Team seems working on this ... see https://github.com/mgechev/ngcc-validation/issues/115

[artem-kurchenko]

Hi All,

Ivy support is available starting with v19.2.

You can test it using the devextreme and devextreme-angular '19.2.2-beta' packages.
Note that long paths are not supported
import { DxButtonModule } from 'devextreme-angular'; // OK
import { DxButtonModule } from 'devextreme-angular/ui/button'; // Won't work

I've just upgraded a large project and its now 40% smaller (8.9Mb to 4.7M) and appears quicker. Nice going gents.

[Franki1986]

I have a problem with using ivy compilation. The problem is listed on Devexpress :
Ivy and dxvalidator

[hakimio]

@Franki1986 the fix might be in PR #1007.

[Franki1986]

Thanks @hakimio . Any idea when a beta fix is ready? The fact that there are many validations in my application forces me to revert to disable ivy, the ugly thing is that every import has to be edited to use the specific file (long path)..

[hakimio]

No idea. Maybe you should ask the person who submitted the PR.

[dxvladislavvolkov]

Hi, @Franki1986
We are going to publish a beta version that supports IVY after releasing 19.2.4. Please bear with us.

[Franki1986]

Ok, I will revert my changes, thanks for giving info.

[LexDX]

Starting with version 19.2.5 we support the IVY compiler. However, I'd like to note that the Angular team is still working on version 9 and they can make some changes in the final release.
