Reuse an angular 1 module in NativeScript angular 2 app

Question

I would like to reuse an angular 1 module in a NativeScript - angular 2 app.

I have read about the upgrade module and its UpgradeAdapter service in angular 2 docs.

[...] service that can bootstrap and manage hybrid applications that support both Angular 2 and Angular 1 code.

In order to use the UpgradeAdapter service, its bootstrap function should be called.

Knowing that NativeScript also requires to call a bootstrap function nativeScriptBootstrap, I am wondering if it exposes a way to use the UpgradeAdapter bootstrap instead of the standard angular 2 one.

Edit: I created an issue in their github repo.

Answer 1

No support for Angular 1 module is planned as stated in this comment from nativescript-angular contributor.

We never intended to support Angular 1 components, and I doubt we'll allocate resources for it in the foreseeable future.

That said, there is no problem for support for the UpgradeAdapter come from a separate library developed by the community. We'll consider PR's that make it easy for such a library to do its job.
