ng-zorro-antd 8.0.0 released

Intro

Welcome to ng-zorro-antd 8.0.0. After upgrading to the latest version, developers can not only enjoy the latest version of Angular, but also get the latest features and better performance.

You need to update your Angular to ^8.0.0 before update. Some ng-zorro-antd APIs are deprecated in version 8.0.0, and all deprecated APIs will still be supported until 9.0.0, which means that version 8.0.0 is fully compatible with version 7.0.0. Developers can get detailed tips on deprecated APIs in the development environment (prompts will not appear in production environments) and have plenty of time to fix these usages before 9.0.0 is released.

• New Typography Component, which provides basic formatting and common operations for text.

• Support admin template when run ng add ng-zorro-antd, more info can be found in Schematics part.

• The Form Component has been fully enhanced, developers only needs to pass in the error tips.

<nz-form-control nzErrorTip="Please input your username!">
  <nz-input-group [nzPrefix]="prefixUser">
    <input formControlName="userName" nz-input placeholder="Username" />
  </nz-input-group>
</nz-form-control>

• There is no need to wrap the dropdown directive with nz-dropdown now.

<a nz-dropdown [nzDropdownMenu]="menu">Hover me</a>
<nz-dropdown-menu #menu="nzDropdownMenu">
  <ul nz-menu>
    <li nz-menu-item>1st menu item</li>
    <li nz-menu-item>2nd menu item</li>
    <li nz-menu-item>3rd menu item</li>
  </ul>
</nz-dropdown-menu>

• Menu support automatic highlighting based on routing.

<ul nz-menu nzMode="horizontal">
  <li nz-menu-item nzMatchRouter>
    <a [routerLink]="['/', 'welcome']">Welcome</a>
  </li>
</ul>
