set custom global zone

[matthewjh]

Hello,

In my use case, I need to have a custom global zone. I want my own zone's hooks to be run, even when not using zone.run. Basically I need to replace the default Zone.current with my own zone, and use that as the "default" zone.

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks,
Matt

@matthewjh , no, it is not supported.
there was the same requirement before, #513. you can check the answer there.

@JiaLiPassion: Damn, that is a shame.

You can always just monkey patch it.
Something like this for runTask, and similar wrappers for the rest as needed:

const runTask = Zone.prototype.runTask;
Zone.prototype.runTask = function(task, applyThis, applyArgs) {
  // Run your own handlers.
  return runTask.call(this, task, applyThis, applyArgs);
};

Will close this for now.
