ngcc uses a lockfile to prevent two ngcc instances from executing at the

error and exit.

To support parallel CLI builds we instruct developers to pre-process
their node_modules via ngcc at the command line.
Despite doing this ngcc was still trying to set a lock when it was being

since they are not compiled by Angular for instance.
This commit checks whether a target package needs to be compiled
at all before attempting to set the lock.

This change moves information from instructions to declarative position:
- `ɵɵallocHostVars(vars)` => `DirectiveDef.hostVars`
- `ɵɵelementHostAttrs(attrs)` => `DirectiveDef.hostAttrs`
When merging directives it is necessary to know about `hostVars` and `hostAttrs`. Before this change the information was stored in the `hostBindings` function. This was problematic, because in order to get to the information the `hostBindings` would have to be executed. In order for `hostBindings` to be executed the directives would have to be instantiated. This means that the directive instantiation would happen before we had knowledge about the `hostAttrs` and as a result the directive could observe in the constructor that not all of the `hostAttrs` have been applied. This further complicates the runtime as we have to apply `hostAttrs` in parts over many invocations.
`ɵɵallocHostVars` was unnecessarily complicated because it would have to update the `LView` (and Blueprint) while existing directives are already executing. By moving it out of `hostBindings` function we can access it statically and we can create correct `LView` (and Blueprint) in a single pass.
This change only changes how the instructions are generated, but does not change the runtime much. (We cheat by emulating the old behavior by calling `ɵɵallocHostVars` and `ɵɵelementHostAttrs`) Subsequent change will refactor the runtime to take advantage of the static information.
PR Close#34683
Consider a library that uses a shared constant for host bindings. e.g.
```ts
export const BASE_BINDINGS= {
'[class.mat-themed]': '_isThemed',
}
----
@Directive({
host: {...BASE_BINDINGS, '(click)': '...'}
})
export class Dir1 {}
@Directive({
host: {...BASE_BINDINGS, '(click)': '...'}
})
export class Dir2 {}
```
Previously when these components were shipped as part of the
library to NPM, consumers were able to consume `Dir1` and `Dir2`.
No errors showed up.
Now with Ivy, when ngcc tries to process the library, an error
will be thrown. The error is stating that the host bindings should
be an object (which they obviously are). This happens because
TypeScript transforms the object spread to individual
`Object.assign` calls (for compatibility).
The partial evaluator used by the `@Directive` annotation handler
is unable to process this expression because there is no
integrated support for `Object.assign`. In View Engine, this was
not a problem because the `metadata.json` files from the library
were used to compute the host bindings.

Ngcc adds properties to the `package.json` files of the entry-points it
processes to mark them as processed for a format and point to the
created Ivy entry-points (in case of `--create-ivy-entry-points`). When
running ngcc in parallel mode (which is the default for the standalone
ngcc command), multiple formats can be processed simultaneously for the
same entry-point and the order of completion is not deterministic.
Previously, ngcc would append new properties at the end of the target
object in `package.json` as soon as the format processing was completed.
As a result, the order of properties in the resulting `package.json`
(when processing multiple formats for an entry-point in parallel) was
not deterministic. For tools that use file hashes for caching purposes
(such as Bazel), this lead to a high probability of cache misses.
This commit fixes the problem by ensuring that the position of
properties added to `package.json` files is deterministic and
independent of the order in which each format is processed.

In #32902 a bug was supposedly fixed where internal classes as used

the `ModuleWithProviders` analysis is not done when not processing the

The effect of this bug is that formats that are processed after the
initial format had been processed would not have exports for internal

While processing class metadata, ngtsc generates a `setClassMetadata()`
call which (among other things) contains info about property decorators.
Previously, processing getter/setter pairs with some of ngcc's
`ReflectionHost`s resulted in multiple metadata entries for the same
property, which resulted in duplicate object keys, which in turn causes
an error in ES5 strict mode.
This commit fixes it by ensuring that there are no duplicate property
names in the `setClassMetadata()` calls.
In addition, `generateSetClassMetadataCall()` is updated to treat
`ClassMember#decorators: []` the same as `ClassMember.decorators: null`
(i.e. omitting the `ClassMember` from the generated `setClassMetadata()`
call). Alternatively, ngcc's `ReflectionHost`s could be updated to do
this transformation (`decorators: []` --> `decorators: null`) when
reflecting on class members, but this would require changes in many
places and be less future-proof.
For example, given a class such as:
```ts
class Foo {
@Input() get bar() { return 'bar'; }
set bar(value: any) {}
}
```
...previously the generated `setClassMetadata()` call would look like:
```ts

In Angular View Engine, there are two kinds of decorator inheritance:
1) both the parent and child classes have decorators
This case is supported by InheritDefinitionFeature, which merges some fields
of the definitions (such as the inputs or queries).
2) only the parent class has a decorator
If the child class is missing a decorator, the compiler effectively behaves
as if the parent class' decorator is applied to the child class as well.
This is the "undecorated child" scenario, and this commit adds a migration
to ngcc to support this pattern in Ivy.
This migration has 2 phases. First, the NgModules of the application are
scanned for classes in 'declarations' which are missing decorators, but
whose base classes do have decorators. These classes are the undecorated
children. This scan is performed recursively, so even if a declared class
has a base class that itself inherits a decorator, this case is handled.
Next, a synthetic decorator (either @Component or @Directive) is created
on the child class. This decorator copies some critical information such
as 'selector' and 'exportAs', as well as supports any decorated fields
(@Input, etc). A flag is passed to the decorator compiler which causes a
special feature `CopyDefinitionFeature` to be included on the compiled
definition. This feature copies at runtime the remaining aspects of the
parent definition which `InheritDefinitionFeature` does not handle,
completing the "full" inheritance of the child class' decorator from its
parent class.

`ngcc` supports both synchronous and asynchronous execution. The default
mode when using `ngcc` programmatically (which is how `@angular/cli` is
using it) is synchronous. When running `ngcc` from the command line
(i.e. via the `ivy-ngcc` script), it runs in async mode.
Previously, the work would be executed in the same way in both modes.
This commit improves the performance of `ngcc` in async mode by
processing tasks in parallel on multiple processes. It uses the Node.js
built-in [`cluster` module](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html) to
launch a cluster of Node.js processes and take advantage of multi-core
systems.
Preliminary comparisons indicate a 1.8x to 2.6x speed improvement when
processing the angular.io app (apparently depending on the OS, number of
available cores, system load, etc.). Further investigation is needed to
better understand these numbers and identify potential areas of
improvement.

In the past, a task's processability didn't use to be known in advance.
It was possible that a task would be created and added to the queue
during the analysis phase and then later (during the compilation phase)
it would be found out that the task (i.e. the associated format
property) was not processable.
As a result, certain checks had to be delayed, until a task's processing
had started or even until all tasks had been processed. Examples of
checks that had to be delayed are:
- Whether a task can be skipped due to `compileAllFormats: false`.
- Whether there were entry-points for which no format at all was
successfully processed.
It turns out that (as made clear by the refactoring in 9537b2ff8), once
a task starts being processed it is expected to either complete
successfully (with the associated format being processed) or throw an
error (in which case the process will exit). In other words, a task's
processability is known in advance.
This commit takes advantage of this fact by moving certain checks
earlier in the process (e.g. in the analysis phase instead of the
compilation phase), which in turn allows avoiding some unnecessary work.
More specifically:
- When `compileAllFormats` is `false`, tasks are created _only_ for the
first suitable format property for each entry-point, since the rest of
the tasks would have been skipped during the compilation phase anyway.
This has the following advantages:
1. It avoids the slight overhead of generating extraneous tasks and
then starting to process them (before realizing they should be
skipped).
2. In a potential future parallel execution mode, unnecessary tasks
might start being processed at the same time as the first (useful)
task, even if their output would be later discarded, wasting
resources. Alternatively, extra logic would have to be added to
prevent this from happening. The change in this commit avoids these
issues.
- When an entry-point is not processable, an error will be thrown
upfront without having to wait for other tasks to be processed before
failing.

Previously, `ngcc`'s programmatic API would run and complete
synchronously. This was necessary for specific usecases (such as how the
`@angular/cli` invokes `ngcc` as part of the TypeScript module
resolution process), but not for others (e.g. running `ivy-ngcc` as a
`postinstall` script).
This commit adds a new option (`async`) that enables turning on
asynchronous execution. I.e. it signals that the caller is OK with the
function call to complete asynchronously, which allows `ngcc` to
potentially run in a more efficient mode.
Currently, there is no difference in the way tasks are executed in sync
vs async mode, but this change sets the ground for adding new execution
options (that require asynchronous operation), such as processing tasks
in parallel on multiple processes.
NOTE:
When using the programmatic API, the default value for `async` is
`false`, thus retaining backwards compatibility.
When running `ngcc` from the command line (i.e. via the `ivy-ngcc`
script), it runs in async mode (to be able to take advantage of future
optimizations), but that is transparent to the caller.

entry-point would not be shown to the user, but either be ignored or

would not. Therefore, it was quite hard to determine where the error

Previously, `ngcc` assumed that if a format property was defined in
`package.json` it would point to a valid format-path (i.e. a file that
is an entry-point for a specific format). This is generally the case,
except if a format property is set to a non-string value (such as
`package.json`) - either directly in the `package.json` (which is unusual)
or in ngcc.config.js (which is a valid usecase, when one wants a
format property to be ignored by `ngcc`).
For example, the following config file would cause `ngcc` to throw:

'.': {

processed or the `formatPath` (i.e. the file(s)) was processed in the
same `ngcc` run (since the `compiledFormats` set was not persisted
across runs).
This could lead in a situation where a `formatPath` would be compiled
twice (if for example properties `a` and `b` both mapped to the same
`formatPath` and one would run `ngcc` for property `a` and then `b`).
This commit fixes it by ensuring that as soon as a `formatPath` has been
processed all corresponding properties are marked as processed (which

Previously, when `ngcc` needed to mark multiple properties as processed

This commit changes this, so that multiple properties can be updated at
once with one file-write operation. While this theoretically improves
performance (reducing the I/O operations), it is not expected to have
any noticeable impact in practice, since these operations are a tiny
fraction of `ngcc`'s work.

There are scenarios where it is not possible for ngcc to guess the format
or configuration of an entry-point just from the files on disk.

there is an entry-point when there should not be one.
2) Deep-import entry-points: some packages allow deep-imports but do not
provide package.json files to indicate to ngcc that the imported path is
actually an entry-point to be processed.
3) Invalid/missing package.json properties: For example, an entry-point
that does not provide a valid property to a required format.

* If published as part of a package, the file can provide configuration
for entry-points of the package.

To improve cross platform support, all file access (and path manipulation)
is now done through a well known interface (`FileSystem`).
For testing a number of `MockFileSystem` implementations are provided.
These provide an in-memory file-system which emulates operating systems
like OS/X, Unix and Windows.
The current file system is always available via the static method,
`FileSystem.getFileSystem()`. This is also used by a number of static
methods on `AbsoluteFsPath` and `PathSegment`, to avoid having to pass
`FileSystem` objects around all the time. The result of this is that one
must be careful to ensure that the file-system has been initialized before
using any of these static methods. To prevent this happening accidentally
the current file system always starts out as an instance of `InvalidFileSystem`,
which will throw an error if any of its methods are called.
You can set the current file-system by calling `FileSystem.setFileSystem()`.
During testing you can call the helper function `initMockFileSystem(os)`
which takes a string name of the OS to emulate, and will also monkey-patch
aspects of the TypeScript library to ensure that TS is also using the
current file-system.
Finally there is the `NgtscCompilerHost` to be used for any TypeScript
compilation, which uses a given file-system.
All tests that interact with the file-system should be tested against each
of the mock file-systems. A series of helpers have been provided to support
such tests:
* `runInEachFileSystem()` - wrap your tests in this helper to run all the
wrapped tests in each of the mock file-systems.
* `addTestFilesToFileSystem()` - use this to add files and their contents
to the mock file system for testing.
* `loadTestFilesFromDisk()` - use this to load a mirror image of files on
disk into the in-memory mock file-system.
* `loadFakeCore()` - use this to load a fake version of `@angular/core`
into the mock file-system.
All ngcc and ngtsc source and tests now use this virtual file-system setup.
