As Angular 6 is here, I want to upgrade or move my angular 5 client application to angular 6, but I'm not getting any tutorial or anything which can guide me through.
According to me I just need to run a new Angular CLI and then have to move my older source to new project. I read the Angular 6 is using a new renderer called Ivy. Will I have to change my project according to Ivy?
Version 7 of Angular has been released Official Angular blog link. Visit official angular update guide https://update.angular.io for detailed information. These steps will work for basic angular 6 apps using Angular Material.
ng update @angular/cli
ng update @angular/core
ng update @angular/material
Version 6 of Angular has been released Official Angular blog link. I have mentioned general upgrade steps below, but before and after the update you need to make changes in your code to make it workable in v6, for that detailed information visit official website https://update.angular.io .
Upgrade Steps (largely taken from the official Angular Update Guide for a basic Angular app using Angular Material):
Make sure NodeJS version is 8.9+ if not update it.
Update Angular cli globally and locally, and migrate the old configuration .angular-cli.json to the new angular.json format by running the following:
npm install -g @angular/cli
npm install @angular/cli
ng update @angular/cli
Update all of your Angular framework packages to v6,and the correct version of RxJS and TypeScript by running the following:
ng update @angular/core
Update Angular Material to the latest version by running the following:
ng update @angular/material
RxJS v6 has major changes from v5, v6 brings backwards compatibility package rxjs-compat that will keep your applications working, but you should refactor TypeScript code so that it doesn't depend on rxjs-compat. To refactor TypeScript code run following:
npm install -g rxjs-tslint
rxjs-5-to-6-migrate -p src/tsconfig.app.json
Note: Once all of your dependencies have updated to RxJS 6, remove rxjs- compat as it increases bundle size. please see this RxJS Upgrade Guide for more info.
npm uninstall rxjs-compat
Done run ng serve to check it.
If you get errors in build refer https://update.angular.io for detailed info.
Upgrade rxjs to 6.0.0-beta.0, please see this RxJS Upgrade Guide for more info. RxJS v6 has breaking change hence first make your code compatible to latest RxJS version.
Update NodeJS version to 8.9+ (this is required by angular cli 6 version)
Update Angular cli global package to next version.
npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm cache verify
if npm version is < 5 then use npm cache clean
npm install -g @angular/cli@next
Change angular packages versions in package.json file to ^6.0.0-rc.5
"dependencies": {

}
Next update Angular cli local package to next version and install above mentioned packages.
rm -rf node_modules dist # use rmdir /S/Q node_modules dist in Windows
Command Prompt; use rm -r -fo node_modules,dist in Windows PowerShell
npm install --save-dev @angular/cli@next
npm install
The Angular CLI configuration format has been changed from angular cli 6.0.0-rc.2 version, and your existing configuration can be updated automatically by running the following command. It will remove old config file .angular-cli.json and will write new angular.json file.
ng update @angular/cli --migrate-only --from=1.7.4
Note :- If you get following error "The Angular Compiler requires TypeScript >=2.7.2 and <2.8.0 but 2.8.3 was found instead". run following command :
npm install [email protected]
bash: rxjs-5-to-6-migrate: command not found. Any thoughts? –
Endstopped ng update @angular/core in my ionic project folder, I get error Invalid range: "*" –
Engels "@angular-devkit/build-angular" from... So that fixed by npm install @angular-devkit/build-angular --save-dev. Other than that I had to update libraries that were using previous rxjs-compat, like ng update @ngx-translate/core, ng update @ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap, because few of them wasn't properly updated. –
Cacka Angular 6 has just been released.
https://blog.angular.io/version-6-of-angular-now-available-cc56b0efa7a4
Here is what worked for one of my smaller projects
You might need to update your run scripts in package.json For eg. if you use flags like "app" and "environment" These have been updated to "project" and "configuration" respectively.
Refer https://update.angular.io/ for more detailed guide.
Just use the official upgrade guide which will tell you what you need to do for your own particular needs:
Check the step by step upgrade details from Angular 5 to Angular 6. These provides details on issues you encounter during upgrade and how to resolve them.
{
"rulesDirectory": [
"node_modules/rxjs-tslint"
],
"rules": {
"rxjs-collapse-imports": true,
"rxjs-pipeable-operators-only": true,
"rxjs-no-static-observable-methods": true,
"rxjs-proper-imports": true
}
}
Operators Name change:
do -> tap,
catch -> catchError,
switch -> switchAll,
finally -> finalize
All operators moved to rxjs/operators
import { map, filter, reduce } from 'rxjs/operators';
Observable creation methods are moved to rxjs
import { Observable, Subject, of, from } from 'rxjs';
You are all set. Welcome to Angular 6 :) Check my blog post here on how to upgrade
I had to re-run ng update @angular/cli for angular-cli.json to be changed to angular.json
Using NPM ( make sure that you have node version 8+ )
npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest
npm i @angular/cli --save
Using Yarn
yarn remove @angular/cli
yarn global add @angular/cli
yarn add @angular/cli
ng update @angular/cli
ng update @angular/core
ng update @angular/material
ng update rxjs
Normally that would mean that you have to update your code everywhere RxJS imports and operators are used, but thankfully there’s a package that takes care of most of the heavy lifting:
npm i -g rxjs-tslint
//or using yarn
yarn global add rxjs-tslint
Then you can run rxjs-5-to-6-migrate
rxjs-5-to-6-migrate -p src/tsconfig.app.json
finally remove rxjs-compat
npm uninstall rxjs-compat
// or using Yarn
yarn remove rxjs-compat
Refer to this link https://alligator.io/angular/angular-6/
So you have to manually update your package.json file.
Then run
npm update
npm install --save rxjs-compat
npm i -g rxjs-tslint
rxjs-5-to-6-migrate -p src/tsconfig.app.json
bash: rxjs-5-to-6-migrate: command not found when trying to run the rxjs-5-to-6-migrate command. Any thoughts? –
Endstopped Please run the below comments to update to Angular 6 from Angular 5
As Vinay Kumar pointed out that it will not update global installed Angular CLI. To update it globally just use following commands:
npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g @angular/cli@latest
Note if you want to update existing project you have to modify existing project, you should change package.json inside your project.
There are no breaking changes in Angular itself but they are in RxJS, so don't forget to use rxjs-compat library to work with legacy code.
npm install --save rxjs-compat
I wrote a good article about installation/updating Angular CLI http://bmnteam.com/angular-cli-installation/
simply run the following command:
ng update
note: this will not update globally.
This is how I make it work.
My Environment:
Angular CLI Global : 6.0.0, Local: 1.7.4, Angular: 5.2, Typescript 2.5.3
Note: To enable
ng Updateyou need to install Angular CLI 6.0 firstnpm install -g @angular/cli or npm install @angular/cli
ng update //update Angular Package core/common/complier... to 6.0.0
ng update @angular/cli //change angular-cli.json to angular.json
optional if you have angular-material 5.4.2, ngx-translate 9.1.1, ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap 1.1.1:
ng update @angular/material //upgrade to 6.0.1
npm install @ngx-translate/[email protected] --save //upgrade ngX translate to 10.0.1 for Angular 6
5 npm install --save @ng-bootstrap/[email protected] //for ng-bootstrap
If you use Observable and get the error:
ERROR in node_modules/rxjs/Observable.d.ts(1,15): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'rxjs-compat/Observable'. node_modules/rxjs/observable/of.d.ts(1,15): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'rxjs-compat/observable/of'.
Change: import { Observable } from "rxjs/Observable"; import { of } from 'rxjs/observable/of';
To
import { Observable, of } from "rxjs";
Angular CLI issue: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/10621
There are few steps to upgrade 2/4/5 to Angular 6.
npm uninstall --save-dev angular-cli
npm install --save-dev @angular/cli@latest
npm install
To fix the issue related to "angular.json" :-
ng update @angular/cli --migrate-only --from=1.7.4

Hoping this will help you :)
Try this first
