Zone.js
Implements Zones for JavaScript, inspired by Dart.
If you're using zone.js via unpkg (i.e. using
https://unpkg.com/zone.js
) and you're using any of the following libraries, make sure you import them first
- 'newrelic' as it patches global.Promise before zone.js does
- 'async-listener' as it patches global.setTimeout, global.setInterval before zone.js does
- 'continuation-local-storage' as it uses async-listener
NEW Zone.js POST-v0.6.0
See the new API here.
Read up on Zone Primer.
BREAKING CHANGES since Zone.js v0.11.1
Prior to v0.11.1
, Zone.js provided two distribution bundle formats in the dist
folder.
They were (1) ES5
bundle distributed as zone.js
and (2) ES2015
bundle distributed as zone-evergreen.js
.
Both of these bundles were in UMD
format, and are used for Angular's differential-loading mechanism.
Starting with v0.11.1
, Zone.js follows the Angular Package Format. Therefor the new Zone.js file layout is:
bundles
:ES5
bundle inUMD
format.fesm2015
:ES5
bundle inESM
format.dist
:ES5
bundle inUMD
format. This directory is present to keep backward compatibility.
If you are using Angular CLI
, the polyfills.ts
file will contain:
import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
Starting with Zone.js v0.11.1+
the import changes to:
import 'zone.js';
Prior to v0.11.1
the import would load the ES5
bundle in UMD
format from dist/zone.js
.
Starting with v0.11.1
the import loads the ES2015
bundle in ESM
format instead.
This is a breaking change for legacy browsers such as IE11
.
For backwards compatibility zone.js
continues to distribute the same bundles under dist
.
To restore the old behavior import from the dist
directory instead like so:
import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
For details, please refer the changelog and the PR.
What's a Zone?
A Zone is an execution context that persists across async tasks. You can think of it as thread-local storage for JavaScript VMs.
See this video from ng-conf 2014 for a detailed explanation:

Standard API support
zone.js patched most standard web APIs (such as DOM events, XMLHttpRequest
, ...) and nodejs APIs
(EventEmitter
, fs
, ...), for more details, please see STANDARD-APIS.md.
Nonstandard API support
We are adding support to some nonstandard APIs, such as MediaQuery and Notification. Please see NON-STANDARD-APIS.md for more details.
Examples
You can find some samples to describe how to use zone.js in SAMPLE.md.
Modules
zone.js patches the async APIs described above, but those patches will have some overhead. Starting from zone.js v0.8.9, you can choose which web API module you want to patch. For more details, please see MODULE.md.
Bundles
Starting with v0.11.0
, zone.js
uses Angular Package Format
for bundle distribution.
(For backwards compatibility, all bundles can still be accessed from dist
folder.)
Bundle | Summary |
---|---|
zone.js |
The default bundle. Contains the most used APIs such as setTimeout/Promise/EventTarget... , it also supports differential loading by importing this bundle using import zone.js . In legacy browsers it includes some additional patches such as registerElement and EventTarget like APIs. |

To use these bundles, add the following code after importing zone.js bundle.
import 'zone.js';
// For example, import canvas patch
import 'zone.js/plugins/zone-patch-canvas';
