Joey Perrott a2e069fdda build: run formatting automatically on pre-commit hook (#38402)
Runs the `ng-dev format changed` command whenever the `git commit` command is
run.  As all changes which are checked by CI will require this check passing, this
change can prevent needless roundtrips to correct lint/formatting errors. This
automatic formatting can be bypassed with the `--no-verify` flag on the `git commit`
command.

Andrew Kushnir e2e5f83869 ci: update payload size limits for Closure tests (#38411)
Currently the Closure-related tests are not tree-shaking the dev-mode-only content, thus payload

JoostK fa0104017a refactor(compiler-cli): only use type constructors for directives with generic types (#38249)
Prior to this change, the template type checker would always use a
type-constructor to instantiate a directive. This type-constructor call
serves two purposes:

1. Infer any generic types for the directive instance from the inputs
   that are passed in.
2. Type check the inputs that are passed into the directive's inputs.

The first purpose is only relevant when the directive actually has any
generic types and using a type-constructor for these cases inhibits
a type-check performance penalty, as a type-constructor's signature is
quite complex and needs to be generated for each directive.

This commit refactors the generated type-check blocks to only generate
a type-constructor call for directives that have generic types. Type
checking of inputs is achieved by generating individual statements for
all inputs, using assignments into the directive's fields.

Even if a type-constructor is used for type-inference of generic types
will the input checking also be achieved using the individual assignment
statements. This is done to support the rework of the language service,
which will start to extract symbol information from the type-check
blocks.

As a future optimization, it may be possible to reduce the number of
inputs passed into a type-constructor to only those inputs that
contribute the the type-inference of the generics. As this is not a
necessity at the moment this is left as follow-up work.

JoostK 80b67e02b7 fix(compiler-cli): infer quote expressions as any type in type checker (#37917)
"Quote expressions" are expressions that start with an identifier followed by a
comma, allowing arbitrary syntax to follow. These kinds of expressions would
throw a an error in the template type checker, which would make them hard to
track down. As quote expressions are not generally used at all, the error would
typically occur for URLs that would inadvertently occur in a binding:

```html
<a [href]="https://example.com"></a>
```

This commit lets such bindings be inferred as the `any` type.

JoostK 18098d38b8 fix(compiler-cli): avoid creating value expressions for symbols from type-only imports (#37912)
In TypeScript 3.8 support was added for type-only imports, which only brings in
the symbol as a type, not their value. The Angular compiler did not yet take
the type-only keyword into account when representing symbols in type positions
as value expressions. The class metadata that the compiler emits would include
the value expression for its parameter types, generating actual imports as
necessary. For type-only imports this should not be done, as it introduces an
actual import of the module that was originally just a type-only import.

This commit lets the compiler deal with type-only imports specially, preventing
a value expression from being created.

JoostK 9514fd9080 fix(compiler): evaluate safe navigation expressions in correct binding order (#37911)
When using the safe navigation operator in a binding expression, a temporary
variable may be used for storing the result of a side-effectful call.
For example, the following template uses a pipe and a safe property access:

```html
<app-person-view [enabled]="enabled" [firstName]="(person$ | async)?.name"></app-person-view>
```

The result of the pipe evaluation is stored in a temporary to be able to check
whether it is present. The temporary variable needs to be declared in a separate
statement and this would also cause the full expression itself to be pulled out
into a separate statement. This would compile into the following
pseudo-code instructions:

```js
var temp = null;
var firstName = (temp = pipe('async', ctx.person$)) == null ? null : temp.name;
property('enabled', ctx.enabled)('firstName', firstName);
```

Notice that the pipe evaluation happens before evaluating the `enabled` binding,
such that the runtime's internal binding index would correspond with `enabled`,
not `firstName`. This introduces a problem when the pipe uses `WrappedValue` to
force a change to be detected, as the runtime would then mark the binding slot
corresponding with `enabled` as dirty, instead of `firstName`. This results
in the `enabled` binding to be updated, triggering setters and affecting how
`OnChanges` is called.

In the pseudo-code above, the intermediate `firstName` variable is not strictly
necessary---it only improved readability a bit---and emitting it inline with
the binding itself avoids the out-of-order execution of the pipe:

```js
var temp = null;
property('enabled', ctx.enabled)
  ('firstName', (temp = pipe('async', ctx.person$)) == null ? null : temp.name);
```

This commit introduces a new `BindingForm` that results in the above code to be
generated and adds compiler and acceptance tests to verify the proper behavior.

JoostK 2e9fdbde9e fix(core): prevent NgModule scope being overwritten in JIT compiler (#37795)
In JIT compiled apps, component definitions are compiled upon first
access. For a component class `A` that extends component class `B`, the
`B` component is also compiled when the `InheritDefinitionFeature` runs
during the compilation of `A` before it has finalized. A problem arises
when the compilation of `B` would flush the NgModule scoping queue,
where the NgModule declaring `A` is still pending. The scope information
would be applied to the definition of `A`, but its compilation is still
in progress so requesting the component definition would compile `A`
again from scratch. This "inner compilation" is correctly assigned the
NgModule scope, but once the "outer compilation" of `A` finishes it
would overwrite the inner compilation's definition, losing the NgModule
scope information.

In summary, flushing the NgModule scope queue could trigger a reentrant
compilation, where JIT compilation is non-reentrant. To avoid the
reentrant compilation, a compilation depth counter is introduced to
avoid flushing the NgModule scope during nested compilations.

JoostK 7525f3afc1 fix(compiler-cli): type-check inputs that include undefined when there's coercion members (#38273)
For attribute bindings that target a directive's input, the template
type checker is able to verify that the type of the input expression is
compatible with the directive's declaration for said input. This
checking adheres to the `strictNullChecks` flag as configured in the
TypeScript compilation, such that errors are reported for expressions
that include `undefined` or `null` in their type if the input's
declaration does not include those types.

There was a bug with this level of type-checking for directives that
also declare coercion members, where binding an expression that includes
the `undefined` type to a directive's input that does not include the
`undefined` type would not be reported as error.

This commit fixes the bug by changing the type-constructor in type-check
code to use an intersection type of regular inputs and coerced inputs,
instead of a union type. The union type would inadvertently allow
`undefined` types to be assigned into the regular inputs, as that would
still satisfy the characteristics of a union type.

As a result of this change, you may start to see build failures if
`strictTemplates` is enabled and `strictInputTypes` is not disabled.
These errors are legitimate and some action is required to achieve a
successful build:

1. Update the templates for which an error is reported and introduce the
   non-null assertion operator at the end of the expression. This
   removes the `undefined` type from the expression's type, making it
   appear as a valid assignment.
2. Disable `strictNullInputTypes` in the compiler options. This will
   implicitly add the non-null assertion operators similar to option 1,
   but all templates in the compilation are affected.
3. Update the directive's input declaration to include the `undefined`
   type, if the directive is not implemented in an external library.

Doug Parker dca4443a8e fix(compiler-cli): mark eager `NgModuleFactory` construction as not side effectful (#38320)
Roll forward of #38147.

This allows Closure compiler to tree shake unused constructor calls to `NgModuleFactory`, which is otherwise considered
side-effectful. The Angular compiler generates factory objects which are exported but typically not used, as they are
only needed for compatibility with View Engine. This results in top-level constructor calls, such as:

```typescript
export const FooNgFactory = new NgModuleFactory(Foo);
```

`NgModuleFactory` has a side-effecting constructor, so this statement cannot be tree shaken, even if `FooNgFactory` is
never imported. The `NgModuleFactory` continues to reference its associated `NgModule` and prevents the module and all
its unused dependencies from being tree shaken, making Closure builds significantly larger than necessary.

The fix here is to wrap `NgModuleFactory` constructor with `noSideEffects(() => /* ... */)`, which tricks the Closure
compiler into assuming that the invoked function has no side effects. This allows it to tree-shake unused
`NgModuleFactory()` constructors when they aren't imported. Since the factory can be removed, the module can also be
removed (if nothing else references it), thus tree shaking unused dependencies as expected.

The one notable edge case is for lazy loaded modules. Internally, lazy loading is done as a side effect when the lazy
script is evaluated. For Angular, this side effect is registering the `NgModule`. In Ivy this is done by the
`NgModuleFactory` constructor, so lazy loaded modules **cannot** have their top-level `NgModuleFactory` constructor
call tree shaken. We handle this case by looking for the `id` field on `@NgModule` annotations. All lazy loaded modules
include an `id`. When this `id` is found, the `NgModuleFactory` is generated **without** with `noSideEffects()` call,
so Closure will not tree shake it and the module will lazy-load correctly.

Previously, each Angular repository had its own strategy/configuration

strategy for labeling/branching/versioning that should be the canonical

This PR provides a `ng-dev` merge configuration that implements the

The merge tool label configuration can be conveniently accesed
within each `.ng-dev` configuration, and can also be extended
if there are special labels on individual projects. This is one
of the reasons why the labels are not directly built into the
merge script. The script should remain unopinionated and flexible.

The configuration is conceptually powerful enough to achieve the
procedures as outlined in the versioning/branching/labeling proposal.

Paul Gschwendtner 6f0f0d3ea2 feat(dev-infra): support user-failures when computing branches for target label (#38223)
The merge tool provides a way for configurations to determine the branches
for a label lazily. This is supported because it allows labels to respect
the currently selected base branch through the Github UI. e.g. if `target: label`
is applied on a PR and the PR is based on the patch branch, then the change
could only go into the selected target branch, while if it would be based on
`master`, the change would be cherry-picked to `master` too. This allows for
convenient back-porting of changes if they did not apply cleanly to the primary
development branch (`master`).

We want to expand this function so that it is possible to report failures if an
invalid target label is appplied (e.g. `target: major` not allowed in
some situations), or if the Github base branch is not valid for the given target
label (e.g. if `target: lts` is used, but it's not based on a LTS branch).

Paul Gschwendtner 576e329f33 feat(dev-infra): provide github API instance to lazy merge configuration (#38223)
The merge script currently accepts a configuration function that will
be invoked _only_ when the `ng-dev merge` command is executed. This
has been done that way because the merge tooling usually relies on
external requests to Git or NPM for constructing the branch configurations.

We do not want to perform these slow external queries on any `ng-dev` command
though, so this became a lazily invoked function.

This commit adds support for these configuration functions to run
asynchronously (by returning a Promise that will be awaited), so that
requests could also be made to the Github API. This is benefical as it
could avoid dependence on the local Git state and the HTTP requests
are more powerful/faster.

Additionally, in order to be able to perform Github API requests
with an authenticated instance, the merge tool will pass through
a `GithubClient` instance that uses the specified `--github-token`
(or from the environment). This ensures that all API requests use
the same `GithubClient` instance and can be authenticated (mitigating
potential rate limits).

JiaLiPassion 8f074296c2 feat(core): rename async to waitForAsync to avoid confusing (#37583)
@angular/core/testing provide `async` test utility, but the name `async` is
confusing with the javascript keyword `async`. And in some test case, if you
want to use both the `async` from `@angular/core/testing` and `async/await`,
you may have to write the code like this.

```typescript
it('test async operations', async(async() => {
  const result = await asyncMethod();
  expect(result).toEqual('expected');
}));
```

So in this PR, the `async` is renamed to `waitForAsync` and also deprecate `async`.
