Angular 2 / 4 / 5 not working in IE11

2019-01-02 14:56发布

I am trying to figure out why my angular 2 app is stuck on showing Loading... when running in IE 11.

Following someone's suggestion, I've tried this plunker, posted by someone on stack overflow, on both chrome and IE 11. Works fine on Chrome, but fails on IE 11. Same error, stuck on saying "Loading..."

The plunker is : https://plnkr.co/edit/6zVFbrH5yohwc714gBbk?p=preview

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <script>document.write('<base href="' + document.location + '" />');</script>
    <title>Router Sample</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/es6-shim/0.34.2/es6-shim.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://code.angularjs.org/2.0.0-beta.1/angular2-polyfills.js"></script>
    <script src="https://code.angularjs.org/tools/system.js"></script>
    <script src="https://code.angularjs.org/tools/typescript.js"></script>
    <script src="https://code.angularjs.org/2.0.0-beta.1/Rx.js"></script>
    <script src="https://code.angularjs.org/2.0.0-beta.1/angular2.dev.js"></script>
    <script src="https://code.angularjs.org/2.0.0-beta.1/http.dev.js"></script>
    <script>
      System.config({
        transpiler: 'typescript', 
        typescriptOptions: { emitDecoratorMetadata: true }, 
        packages: {'src': {defaultExtension: 'ts'}} 
      });
      System.import('src/boot')
            .then(null, console.error.bind(console));
    </script>
  </head>

  <body>
    <my-app>loading...</my-app>
  </body>

</html>

Anybody got any idea as to why IE 11 fails to run the angular 2 app?

Thank you!

The latest version of angular is only setup for evergreen browsers by default...

The current setup is for so-called "evergreen" browsers; the last versions of browsers that automatically update themselves. This includes Safari >= 10, Chrome >= 55 (including Opera), Edge >= 13 on the desktop, and iOS 10 and Chrome on mobile.
This also includes firefox, although not mentioned.

See here for more information on browser support along with a list of suggested polyfills for specific browsers. https://angular.io/guide/browser-support#polyfill-libs


This means that you manually have to enable the correct polyfills to get Angular working in IE11 and below.


To achieve this, go into polyfills.ts (in the src folder by default) and just uncomment the following imports:

/***************************************************************************************************
 * BROWSER POLYFILLS
 */

/** IE9, IE10 and IE11 requires all of the following polyfills. **/
 import 'core-js/es6/symbol';
 import 'core-js/es6/object';
 import 'core-js/es6/function';
 import 'core-js/es6/parse-int';
 import 'core-js/es6/parse-float';
 import 'core-js/es6/number';
 import 'core-js/es6/math';
 import 'core-js/es6/string';
 import 'core-js/es6/date';
 import 'core-js/es6/array';
 import 'core-js/es6/regexp';
 import 'core-js/es6/map';
 import 'core-js/es6/set';

Note that the comment is literally in the file, so this is easy to find.

If you are still having issues, you can downgrade the target property to es5 in tsconfig.json as @MikeDub suggested. What this does is change the compilation output of any es6 definitions to es5 definitions. For example, fat arrow functions (()=>{}) will be compiled to anonymous functions (function(){}). You can find a list of es6 supported browsers here.


Notes

• I was asked in the comments by @jackOfAll whether IE11 polyfills are loaded even if the user is in an evergreen browser which doesn't need them. The answer is, yes they are! The inclusion of the IE11 polyfills will take your polyfill file from ~162KB to ~258KB as of Aug 8 '17. I have invested in trying to solve this however it does not seem possible at this time.

• If you are getting errors in IE10 and below, go into you package.json and downgrade webpack-dev-server to 2.7.1 specifically. Versions higher than this no longer support "older" IE versions.

You'll need to adjust the polyfills.ts file for your target browsers by uncommenting the appropriate sections.

/** IE9, IE10 and IE11 requires all of the following polyfills. **/
import 'core-js/es6/symbol';
import 'core-js/es6/object';
import 'core-js/es6/function';
import 'core-js/es6/parse-int';
import 'core-js/es6/parse-float';
import 'core-js/es6/number';
import 'core-js/es6/math';
import 'core-js/es6/string';
import 'core-js/es6/date';
import 'core-js/es6/array';
import 'core-js/es6/regexp';
import 'core-js/es6/map';
import 'core-js/es6/weak-map';
import 'core-js/es6/set';

What worked for me is I followed the following steps to improve my application perfomance in IE 11 1.) In Index.html file, add the following CDN's

<script src="https://npmcdn.com/angular2@2.0.0- 
 beta.17/es6/dev/src/testing/shims_for_IE.js"></script>
<script 
src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/classlist/1.2.201711092/classList.min.js"></script>

2.) In polyfills.ts file and add the following import:

import 'core-js/client/shim';

EDIT 2018/05/15: This can be achieved with a meta tag; please add that tag to your index.html and disregard this post.

This is not a complete answer to the question (for the technical answer please refer to @Zze's answer above), but there's an important step that needs to be added:

COMPATIBILITY MODE

Even with the appropriate polyfills in place, there are still issues with running Angular 2+ apps using the polyfills on IE11. If you are running the site off an intranet host (ie. if you are testing it at http://localhost or another mapped local domain name), you must go into Compatibility View settings and uncheck "Display intranet sites in Compatibility View", since IE11's Compatibility View breaks a couple of the conventions included in the ES5 polyfills for Angular.

In polyfills.ts

import 'core-js/es6/symbol';
import 'core-js/es6/object';
import 'core-js/es6/function';
import 'core-js/es6/parse-int';
import 'core-js/es6/parse-float';
import 'core-js/es6/number';
import 'core-js/es6/math';
import 'core-js/es6/string';
import 'core-js/es6/date';

import 'core-js/es6/array';
import 'core-js/es7/array';

import 'core-js/es6/regexp';
import 'core-js/es6/map';
import 'core-js/es6/weak-map';
import 'core-js/es6/weak-set';
import 'core-js/es6/set';

/** IE10 and IE11 requires the following for NgClass support on SVG elements */
 import 'classlist.js';  // Run `npm install --save classlist.js`.

/** Evergreen browsers require these. **/
import 'core-js/es6/reflect';
import 'core-js/es7/reflect';

/**
 * Required to support Web Animations `@angular/animation`.
 * Needed for: All but Chrome, Firefox and Opera. http://caniuse.com/#feat=web-animation
 **/
import 'web-animations-js';  // Run `npm install --save web-animations-js`.

If you have still problems that not all JavaScript functions are working add this line in your polyfills. It fixes the missing ‘values’ method:

import 'core-js/es7/object';

And this line fixes the missing ‘includes’ method:

import 'core-js/es7/array'
