Flex-layout: Support for Angular 6.1.x

[MarcusMorba]

Feature Request

Support for Angular 6.1.x in general and the latest 6.1.0-rc.0.

What is the desired behavior?

Flex-Layout works with Angular 6.1.x

What is the use-case or motivation for the desired behavior?

Have a more stable base Angular Environment with 6.1.x for Upgrading a 5.x app.

Is there anything else we should know?

Would the latest 6.0.x beta work with Angular 6.1.x beta?

Current given dependencies of the latest 6 beta are:
"dependencies": {
"@angular/cdk": "6.0.0",
"@angular/common": "^6.0.0",
"@angular/compiler": "^6.0.0",
"@angular/core": "^6.0.0",
"@angular/platform-browser": "^6.0.0",
"core-js": "^2.4.1",
"rxjs": "^6.0.0",
"systemjs": "0.19.43",
"tsickle": "^0.27.0",
"tslib": "^1.8.0",
"zone.js": "^0.8.18"
},

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Should work, made a test on stackblitz.io: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-flex-layout-seed-kxsq7d

Tested also successfull with the rc.0 versions.

So there a few blockers on this, one of which I'm working to resolve, but the main one is that the CDK and Material don't support Angular v6.1 yet, and likely won't until the next RC at the earliest. Until that happens, we can't move since we have a peer dependency on them.

[mackelito]

@CaerusKaru I thought that one of the ideas was to have this lib as a standalone thing? If it has a dep on Materials then why keep it as a separate project? Perhpas you guys would benefit from working closer together? :)

Any how.. keep up the good work!

[CaerusKaru]

@mackelito The library is _mostly_ standalone, but part of the point is to not reuse code as much as possible, and the Angular CDK already implemented some of the library's codebase. It's more of the dependency on the CDK, we don't really have a dependency on Material (except for our own demo app).

There might be some closer collaboration in the future at least in regards to build and release schedules, but nothing is certain for now.

Any progress on this since 6.4.1 is out?

[CaerusKaru]

@fxck It’s blocked on https://github.com/angular/material2/pull/12182

[CaerusKaru]

I’d like to be clear that the library has support for all 6.x versions of Angular, and I’m treating this issue more as the TS 2.9 migration than anything else. Material does not yet support TS 2.9 even though Angular Core does, so we’re waiting until Material jumps before we jump.

angular/material2#12182 has been merged and will hopefully land in a version soon.

[MarcusMorba]

Isn´t this already achieved? In the latest beta18 "^6.1.6"is even required:
"version": "6.0.0-beta.18",
"requiredAngularVersion": ">=6.0.0 <7.0.0",
"dependencies": {
"@angular/cdk": "^6.4.7",
"@angular/common": "^6.1.6",
"@angular/compiler": "^6.1.6",
"@angular/core": "^6.1.6",
"@angular/platform-browser": "^6.1.6",
"core-js": "^2.5.7",
"rxjs": "^6.3.0",
"systemjs": "0.19.43",
"tsickle": "^0.32.1",
"tslib": "^1.9.3",
"zone.js": "^0.8.26"
},

To be honest, I forgot about this issue entirely, but yes it has been resolved with the release of beta 18
