BREAKING CHANGE:
Switching default of `emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue`
which changes the default behavior and may cause some applications which
rely on the incorrect behavior to fail.
`emitDistinctChangesOnly` flag has also been deprecated and will be
removed in a future major release.
The previous implementation would fire changes `QueryList.changes.subscribe`
whenever the `QueryList` was recomputed. This resulted in an artificially
high number of change notifications, as it is possible that recomputing
`QueryList` results in the same list. When the `QueryList` gets recomputed
is an implementation detail, and it should not be the thing that determines
how often change event should fire.
Unfortunately, fixing the behavior outright caused too many existing
applications to fail. For this reason, Angular considers this fix a
breaking fix and has introduced a flag in `@ContentChildren` and
`@ViewChildren`, that controls the behavior.
```
export class QueryCompWithStrictChangeEmitParent {
@ContentChildren('foo', {
// This option is the new default with this change.
emitDistinctChangesOnly: true,
})
foos!: QueryList<any>;
}
```
For backward compatibility before v12
`emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue` was set to `false. This change
changes the default to `true`.

Tsserver expects `@angular/language-service` to provide a factory function
as the default export (commonjs-style) of the package.
The current implementation side steps TypeScript's import syntax by using
`module.exports = factory`.
This allows the code to incorrectly re-export other symbols:
```ts
export * from './api';
```
which transpiles to:
```js
var tslib_1 = require("tslib");
tslib_1.__exportStar(require("@angular/language-service/api"), exports);
```
Doing this meant that the package now has a runtime dependency on `tslib`,
which is totally unnecessary.
With the proper `export =` syntax, `tslib` is removed, and no other exports
are allowed.
Output:
```js
(function (factory) {
if (typeof module === "object" && typeof module.exports === "object") {
var v = factory(require, exports);
if (v !== undefined) module.exports = v;
}
else if (typeof define === "function" && define.amd) {
define("@angular/language-service", ["require", "exports"], factory);

The custom elements spec is not compatible with ES5 style classes. This
means ES2015 code compiled to ES5 will not work with a native
implementation of Custom Elements. To support browsers that natively
support Custom Elements but not ES2015 modules, we load
`@webcomponents/custom-elements/src/native-shim.js`, which minimally
augments the native implementation to be compatible with ES5 code.
(See [here][1] for more details.)
Previously, the shim was included in `polyfills.ts`, which meant it was
loaded in all browsers (even those supporting ES2015 modules and thus
not needing the shim).
This commit moves the shim from `polyfills.ts` to a `nomodule` script
tag in `index.html`. This will ensure that it is only loaded in browsers
that do not support ES2015 modules and thus do not needed the shim.

These changes remove the methods that either aren't being used anymore or were only

is an internal API.
The following methods were removed:
* `getProperty` - only used within our own tests.
* `log` - Guaranteed to be defined on `console`.
* `logGroup` and `logGroupEnd` - Only used in one place. It was in the DomAdapter for built-in null checking.
* `logGroupEnd` - Only used in one place. It was placed in the DomAdapter for built in null checking.
* `performanceNow` - Only used in one place that has to be invoked through the browser console.
* `supportsCookies` - Unused.
* `getCookie` - Unused.
* `getLocation` and `getHistory` - Only used in one place which appears to have access to the DOM
already, because it had direct accesses to `window`. Furthermore, even if this was being used
in a non-browser context already, the `DominoAdapter` was set up to throw an error.

* `supportsDOMEvents` - Changed to a readonly property.
* `remove` - No longer returns the removed node.

When there are elements in a translated message, the start and end tags
are encoded as placeholders. The names of these placeholders are computed
from the name of the element. For example `<a> will be `START_LINK` and
`</a>` will be `CLOSE_LINK`.
If there are more than one element with the same name, but different attributes,
then the starting placeholder name is made unique.
For example `<a href="a">` would be `START_LINK`, while `<a href="b">` in
the same message would then be called `START_LINK_1`.
But the closing tags will not be made unique since there are no attrbutes;
the always have the same text `</a>`, which will produce, for example,
`CLOSE_LINK`.
Previously, when extracting XLIFF 2 formatted translation files, the closing
tag placeholder names were computed incorrectly from the opening tag
placeholder names. For example `CLOSE_LINK_1`.
This commit strips these `_1` type endings from the start tag placeholder
name when computing the closing tag placeholder name. It also ensures
that the `type` of the placeholder is computed accurately in these cases
too.

The Angular compiler creates two `ts.Program`s; one for emit and one for
template type-checking. The creation of the type-check program could
benefit from reusing the `ts.ModuleResolutionCache` that was primed
during the creation of the emit program. This requires that the compiler
host implements `resolveModuleNames`, as otherwise TypeScript will setup
a `ts.ModuleResolutionHost` of its own for both programs.
This commit ensures that `resolveModuleNames` is always implemented,
even if the originally provided compiler host does not. This is

The "Features" page organizes features in groups/rows of 3 features
each. On wide screens, all 3 paragraphs of a group/row can be shown next

Previously, the 3rd paragraph was wrapped over to the next line.
This commit improves the layout on medium screens by switching to
immediately stacking the paragraphs vertically as soon as there is not
enough space for them to be displayed in one row. Since the total width

API list page's max content width from 50em (800px) to 62.5em (1000px)
to allow items to be shown on three columns despite their increased
width. This increase in the content width shouldn't negatively affect

Previously, each marketing page used a different limit for its content's
width (if it had a limit at all) and implemented the width limiting in a
different way. Besides resulting in an inconsistent UX, this also made
it difficult to apply site-wide layout changes.
This commit makes the limit for most marketing pages consistent and uses
the same CSS class to make it easier to apply site-wide changes in the
future. The chosen limit is slightly larger than that of docs pages
(62.5em/1000px vs 50em/800px), because marketing pages have a different
type of content and layout (i.e. images, multi-column layout, etc.).
Finally, this commit also removes obsolete wrapper elements, CSS classes
and CSS styles, that are no longer necessary after the changes.
Notably, the homepage (`/`) and the "Contributors" page (`/about`) have
remained unchanged, because the former has its own layout that is
different from other marketing pages and the latter would offer a worse
UX with a small content width limit (as the one used on other marketing
pages).
The content widths of the rest of the marketing pages change slightly as
a result of the changes in this commit, but not in a way that would have
a negative impact on UX. More specifically:

Previously, in contrast to docs pages, marketing pages had a non-fixed
top-menu, which meant that the top-menu would scroll out of the viewport
along with the rest of the content. This had a couple of downsides:
- The UI was different between pages (i.e. different top-menu behavior
on docs vs marketing pages).
- Since some of the marketing pages are long, it was not easy for people
to navigate to a different page (i.e. they had to scroll all the way
back up).
This commit improves the UX by using the same, fixed top-menu on all
pages, which restores consistency and allows the user to navigate around
more easily.

Previously, injector definitions contained a `factory` property that
was used to create a new instance of the associated NgModule class.
Now this factory has been moved to its own `ɵfac` static property on the
NgModule class itself. This is inline with how directives, components and
pipes are created.
There is a small size increase to bundle sizes for each NgModule class,
because the `ɵfac` takes up a bit more space:
Before:
```js
let a = (() => {
class n {}
return n.\u0275mod = c.Cb({type: n}),
n.\u0275inj = c.Bb({factory: function(t) { return new (t || n) }, imports: [[e.a.forChild(s)], e.a]}),
n
})(),
```
After:
```js
let a = (() => {
class n {}
return n.\u0275fac = function(t) { return new (t || n) },
n.\u0275mod = c.Cb({type: n}),
n.\u0275inj = c.Bb({imports: [[r.a.forChild(s)], r.a]}),
n
})(),
```
In other words `n.\u0275fac = ` is longer than `factory: ` (by 5 characters)
and only because the tooling insists on encoding `ɵ` as `\u0275`.
This can be mitigated in a future PR by only generating the `ɵfac` property
if it is actually needed.

which powers the Angular Language Service as well as the main compiler's
understanding of types in templates.
PR Close#41004
The compiler performs cycle analysis for the used directives and pipes
of a component's template to avoid introducing a cyclic import into the
generated output. The used directives and pipes are represented by their
output expression which would typically be an `ExternalExpr`; those are
responsible for the generation of an `import` statement. Cycle analysis
needs to determine the `ts.SourceFile` that would end up being imported
by these `ExternalExpr`s, as the `ts.SourceFile` is then checked against
the program's `ImportGraph` to determine if the import is allowed, i.e.
does not introduce a cycle. To accomplish this, the `ExternalExpr` was
dissected and ran through module resolution to obtain the imported
`ts.SourceFile`.
This module resolution step is relatively expensive, as it typically
needs to hit the filesystem. Even in the presence of a module resolution
cache would these module resolution requests generally see cache misses,
as the generated import originates from a file for which the cache has
not previously seen the imported module specifier.
This commit removes the need for the module resolution by wrapping the
generated `Expression` in an `EmittedReference` struct. This allows the
reference emitter mechanism that is responsible for generating the
`Expression` to also communicate from which `ts.SourceFile` the
generated `Expression` would be imported, precluding the need for module
resolution down the road.
PR Close#40948
The import graph scans source files for its import and export statements
to extract the source files that it imports/exports. Such statements
contain a module specifier string and this module specifier used to be
resolved to the actual source file using an explicit module resolution
step. This is especially expensive in incremental rebuilds, as the
module resolution cache has not been primed during program creation
(assuming that the incremental program was able to reuse the module
resolution results from a prior compilation). This meant that all module
resolution requests would have to hit the filesystem, which is
relatively slow.
This commit is able to replace the module resolution with TypeScript's
bound symbol of the module specifier. This symbol corresponds with the
`ts.SourceFile` that is being imported/exported, which is exactly what
the import graph was interested in. As a result, no filesystem accesses
are done anymore.

In Angular programs, changing a file may require other files to be
emitted as well due to implicit NgModule dependencies. For example, if
the selector of a directive is changed then all components that have
that directive in their compilation scope need to be recompiled, as the
change of selector may affect the directive matching results.
Until now, the compiler solved this problem using a single dependency
graph. The implicit NgModule dependencies were represented in this
graph, such that a changed file would correctly also cause other files
to be re-emitted. This approach is limited in a few ways:
1. The file dependency graph is used to determine whether it is safe to
reuse the analysis data of an Angular decorated class. This analysis
data is invariant to unrelated changes to the NgModule scope, but
because the single dependency graph also tracked the implicit
NgModule dependencies the compiler had to consider analysis data as
stale far more often than necessary.
2. It is typical for a change to e.g. a directive to not affect its
public API—its selector, inputs, outputs, or exportAs clause—in which
case there is no need to re-emit all declarations in scope, as their
compilation output wouldn't have changed.
This commit implements a mechanism by which the compiler is able to
determine the impact of a change by comparing it to the prior
compilation. To achieve this, a new graph is maintained that tracks all
public API information of all Angular decorated symbols. During an
incremental compilation this information is compared to the information
that was captured in the most recently succeeded compilation. This
determines the exact impact of the changes to the public API, which
is then used to determine which files need to be re-emitted.
Note that the file dependency graph remains, as it is still used to
track the dependencies of analysis data. This graph does no longer track
the implicit NgModule dependencies, which allows for better reuse of
analysis data.
These changes also fix a bug where template type-checking would fail to
incorporate changes made to a transitive base class of a
directive/component. This used to be a problem because transitive base
classes were not recorded as a transitive dependency in the file
dependency graph, such that prior type-check blocks would erroneously
be reused.
This commit also fixes an incorrectness where a change to a declaration
in NgModule `A` would not cause the declarations in NgModules that
import from NgModule `A` to be re-emitted. This was intentionally
incorrect as otherwise the performance of incremental rebuilds would
have been far worse. This is no longer a concern, as the compiler is now
able to only re-emit when actually necessary.
