Angular projects generated by coveo cli uses multiple deprecated features

[akaustav]

Hi,
I was able to generate an Angular 11 project using the coveo ui:create:angular NAME command. The project connects to a test / development organization which I created by following instructions from a previous discussion. While the project works in my local machine, I noticed that the code imports a few classes, constants, namespaces, etc. from the @coveo/headless library which have now been marked as deprecated. Is there any way to get an example Angular 11 application which does NOT rely on deprecated features from the @coveo/headless library?

Examples of deprecated imports

• cli/packages/angular/src/ng-add-setup-project/files/src/app/engine.service.ts

  Line 2 in 47c98cc

  import {HeadlessEngine, searchAppReducers} from '@coveo/headless';

• cli/packages/angular/src/ng-add-setup-project/files/src/app/search-page/search-page.component.ts

  Line 2 in 47c98cc

  import {AnalyticsActions, SearchActions} from '@coveo/headless';

Hello,

Coveo Headless is currently on a transition path to the next major version, which is why you are seeing these deprecation message.

The current setup, with the version of @coveo/headless generated for your project will continue to work for the current major version.

We are currently doing a release (v.1.5.0) of the CLI which migrates and support the next major version of Headless. This should be available either by EOD or tomorrow.

You can upgrade the CLI using coveo update command.

Thank you for reporting !

Thanks for the update, @olamothe. I tried upgrading using coveo update command now - didn't work. Posted the information in a separate discussion #285.
