Upgrade to Angular 17

This document describes how to upgrade Angular to version 17 in your Spryker project.

Spryker’s current version of Angular is v15. However, Angular v15 should be deprecated on 2024-05-18, according to the Angular Support policy and schedule. The current stable version of Angular is v17.

We recommend upgrading to the latest major version of Angular to get the most recent bug fixes and security updates. Additionally, the upgrade optimizes both runtime performance and tooling.

However, updating to Angular v17 results in incompatibility with older versions of Angular. Therefore, a major release is necessary for the following modules:

• DashboardMerchantPortalGui
• GuiTable
• MerchantProfileMerchantPortalGui
• ProductMerchantPortalGui
• ProductOfferMerchantPortalGui
• SalesMerchantPortalGui
• SecurityMerchantPortalGui
• UserMerchantPortalGui
• ZedUi

Estimated migration time: 2h

To upgrade to Angular v17, follow these steps.

Prerequisites

Before starting the migration, update Stylelint and css-loader as described in the Stylelint migration guide.

1) Update modules

1. Check if the following Marketplace modules in your project have the new versions:

If they don’t, update the module versions manually or by using the following command:

composer update spryker/dashboard-merchant-portal-gui spryker/gui-table spryker/merchant-profile-merchant-portal-gui spryker/product-merchant-portal-gui spryker/product-offer-merchant-portal-gui spryker/sales-merchant-portal-gui spryker/security-merchant-portal-gui spryker/user-merchant-portal-gui spryker/zed-ui

2. Regenerate the data transfer object:

console transfer:generate

2) Update npm dependencies

In package.json, do the following:

1. Adjust the npm scripts:

   {
       "scripts": {
           "mp:build": "nx build",
           "mp:build:watch": "nx build --watch",
           "mp:build:production": "nx build --configuration production",
           "mp:stylelint": "node ./frontend/merchant-portal/stylelint.mjs",
           "mp:lint": "nx lint --no-eslintrc",
           "mp:test": "nx test",
       }
   }
   

2. Update or add the following dependencies:

       "dependencies": {
           "core-js": "~3.29.1",
       },
       "devDependencies": {
           "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "~15.2.9",
           "@angular-eslint/builder": "~15.0.0",

           "@nrwl/workspace": "~15.0.7",
       }
   }
   

5. Update and install the package dependencies:

rm -rf node_modules
npm install

3) Update the Angular configuration

1. In the frontend/merchant-portal folder, do the following:

   1. In jest.config.ts, change the resolver from nrwl to nx:

         export default {
              ...,
              resolver: '@nx/jest/plugins/resolver',
              ...
          } 
      

   2. In jest.preset.js, change nxPreset from nrwl to nx:

          const nxPreset = require('@nx/jest/preset').default;
      

   3. In test-setup.ts, replace core-js/features/reflect import to reflect-metadata/lite:

          import 'reflect-metadata/lite';
          import 'jest-preset-angular/setup-jest';
      

   4. In tsconfig.spec.json, change compileOptions to the following:

      {
          "compilerOptions": {
              ...
              "esModuleInterop": true,
              "target": "ES2015",
              "types": ["jest", "node"]
          },
      }
      

   5. In utils.js, delete import from '@angular-devkit/core' and replace it with custom function:

       const glob = require('fast-glob');
   
       function dasherize(str) {
           return str
               .replace(/[\s_]/g, '-')
               .replace(/([a-z])([A-Z])/g, '$1-$2')
               .toLowerCase();
       }
   
       async function getMPEntryPoints(directory, entryPath) {
           return glob(entryPath, {
               cwd: directory,
           });
       }
   
       function entryPointPathToName(prefix, path) {
           return prefix + dasherize(path.split('/')[0]);
       }
   
       module.exports = {
           getMPEntryPoints,
           entryPointPathToName,
       };
   
   

   6. In entry-points.js, update getMPEntryPointsMap function to add the possibility of one entry build:

       const { readFileSync } = require('fs');
   
       const MP_SINGLE_ENTRY = 'spy/merchant-portal';
       const MP_SINGLE_ENTRY_MARKER = `${MP_SINGLE_ENTRY}:single-entry-marker`;
   
       async function getMPEntryPointsMap() {
           const singleEntryNames = new Map();
   
           const entryPointsMap = async (dir, entryPath) => {
               const entryPoints = await getMPEntryPoints(dir, entryPath);
   
               return entryPoints.reduce((acc, entryPoint) => {
                   const fullPath = path.join(dir, entryPoint);
                   const isSingleEntry = readFileSync(fullPath, { encoding: 'utf8' }).includes(MP_SINGLE_ENTRY_MARKER);
                   const name = entryPointPathToName('spy/', entryPoint);
   
                   if (isSingleEntry || singleEntryNames.has(name)) {
                       singleEntryNames.set(name, fullPath);
   
                       return acc;
                   }
   
                   return { ...acc, [name]: fullPath };
               }, {});
           };
           const core = await entryPointsMap(ROOT_SPRYKER_CORE_DIR, MP_CORE_ENTRY_POINT_FILE);
           const project = await entryPointsMap(ROOT_SPRYKER_PROJECT_DIR, MP_PROJECT_ENTRY_POINT_FILE);
   
           return { ...core, ...project, [MP_SINGLE_ENTRY]: [...singleEntryNames.values()] };
       }
   

   7. In webpack.config.ts, add the publicPath config value:

       export default async (...): Promise<webpack.Configuration> => {
           ....,
   
           config.output.publicPath = '/assets/js/';
   
           ....
       }
   

2. In the root of the project, do the following:

   1. Add .nx/cache to .gitignore and .prettierignore.

       .nx/cache
   

   2. Delete angular.json.
   3. Add the target option to tsconfig.mp.json:

    {
        ....,
        "compilerOptions": {
                "target": "ES2022",
                ....
        }
    }
   

   4. In .eslintrc.mp.json, move ts configuration to the overrides section. Replace the plugin and disable some rules:

    {
    "root": true,
        "plugins": ["@nx"],
        "overrides": [
            {
                "files": ["*.ts"],
                ....,
                "parser": "@typescript-eslint/parser",
                "extends": [
                    "./node_modules/@spryker/frontend-config.eslint/.eslintrc.js",
                    "plugin:@nx/typescript",
                    "plugin:@nx/angular",
                    "plugin:@angular-eslint/template/process-inline-templates"
                ],
                "parserOptions": {
                    "project": "./tsconfig.mp.json"
                },
                "rules": {
                    ...,
                    "max-lines": "off",
                }
            },
            {
                "files": ["*.html"],
                ....,
                "rules": {
                    ....
                    "@typescript-eslint/ban-types": 0,
                    "@typescript-eslint/no-empty-interface": 0,
                    "@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any": 0,
                    "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": 0,
                    "@angular-eslint/no-host-metadata-property": 0,
                    "@angular-eslint/directive-class-suffix": 0,
                    "no-prototype-builtins": 0
                }
            }
        ]
    }
   

   5. Add project.json with the following configuration:

   {
        "name": "merchant-portal",
        "$schema": "node_modules/nx/schemas/project-schema.json",
        "sourceRoot": ".",

                "options": {
                    "customWebpackConfig": {

                        "mergeRules": {}
                    },
                    "indexTransform": "./frontend/merchant-portal/html-transform.js",

                }
            }
        }
    }
   

4) Manual Spryker module updating

If you can’t update the modules automatically with the composer update command, update all angular dependencies in the root of the module inside package.json to ^17.3.0 version and all @spryker/* dependencies to the next major.0.0 version, for example, 1.1.0 => ^2.0.0,0.1.4 => ^1.0.0).

To add a single entry point support, add // spy/merchant-portal:single-entry-marker line in the entry.ts file, for example, like this:

// spy/merchant-portal:single-entry-marker
import { registerNgModule } from '@mp/zed-ui';
import { ComponentsModule } from './app/components.module';

registerNgModule(ComponentsModule);

Delete additional JS injecting in the module layout_file_name twig file. For example, delete the whole block below:

{% block footerJs %}
    {{ view.importJsBundle('agent-dashboard-merchant-portal-gui', importConfig) }}
    {{ parent() }}
{% endblock %}
