Previously in Ivy, metadata for directives/components/modules/etc was
carried in .d.ts files inside type information encoded on the
DirectiveDef, ComponentDef, NgModuleDef, etc types of Ivy definition
fields. This works well, but has the side effect of complicating Ivy's
runtime code as these extra generic type parameters had to be specified
as <any> throughout the codebase. *DefInternal types were introduced
previously to mitigate this issue, but that's the wrong way to solve
the problem.
This commit returns *Def types to their original form, with no metadata
attached. Instead, new *DefWithMeta types are introduced that alias the
plain definition types and add extra generic parameters. This way the
only code that needs to deal with the extra metadata parameters is the
compiler code that reads and writes them - the existence of this metadata
is transparent to the runtime, as it should be.

With these changes, the types are a little stricter now and also not
compatible with Protractor's jasmine-like syntax. So, we have to also
use `@types/jasminewd2` for e2e tests (but not for non-e2e tests).
I also had to "augment" `@types/jasminewd2`, because the latest
typings from [DefinitelyTyped][1] do not reflect the fact that the
`jasminewd2` version (v2.1.0) currently used by Protractor supports
passing a `done` callback to a spec.

This change supports compilation of components, directives, and modules
within ngtsc. Support is not complete, but is enough to compile and test
//packages/core/test/bundling/todo in full AOT mode. Code size benefits
are not yet achieved as //packages/core itself does not get compiled, and
some decorators (e.g. @Input) are not stripped, leading to unwanted code
being retained by the tree-shaker. This will be improved in future commits.

Ivy definition looks something like this:
```
class MyService {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
…
});
}
```
Here the argument to `defineInjectable` is well known public contract which needs
to be honored in backward compatible way between versions. The type of the
return value of `defineInjectable` on the other hand is private and can change
shape drastically between versions without effecting backwards compatibility of
libraries publish to NPM. To our users it is effectively an `OpaqueToken`.
By prefixing the type with `ɵ` we are communicating the the outside world that
the value is not public API and is subject to change without backward compatibility.

Remove `containerRefreshStart` and `containerRefreshEnd` instruction
from the output.
Generate directives as a list in `componentDef` rather than inline into
instructions. This is consistent in making selector resolution runtime
so that translation of templates can follow locality.

BREAKING CHANGE:
The `<template>` tag was deprecated in Angular v4 to avoid collisions (i.e. when
using Web Components).
This commit removes support for `<template>`. `<ng-template>` should be used
instead.

This patch removes the deprecated support for animation
symbol imports from @angular/core.
BREAKING CHANGE: it is no longer possible to import

This change makes the code cleaner for the user. It does mean
a little bit more work for us since we have to patch the `type` back
into the `DirectiveDef`. However since the patching happens only once
on startup it should not be significant.

This separation is no longer needed since directives are now passed into the `container` as an array rather than as child functions of the `containerStart`
PR Close#21374
We used to have a separate `directive` instruction for instantiating
directives. However, such an instruction requires that directives
are created in the correct order, which would require that template
compiler would have knowledge of all dependent directives. This
would break template compilation locality principle.
This change only changes the APIs to expected form but does
not change the semantics. The semantics will need to be corrected
in subsequent commits. The semantic change needed is to
resolve the directive instantiation error at runtime based on
injection dependencies.

Each node now has two index: nodeIndex and checkIndex.
nodeIndex is the index in both the view definition and the view data.
checkIndex is the index in in the update function (update directives and update
renderer).
While nodeIndex and checkIndex have the same value for now, having both of them
will allow changing the structure of view definition after compilation (ie for
runtime translations).
With this commit `ngc` is used instead of `tsc-wrapped` for
collecting metadata and tsickle rewriting and `tsc-wrapped`
is removed from the repository.
`@angular/tsc-wrapped@5` is now deprecated and is no longer
used, updated, or maintained as part as of Angular 5.x.x.
`@angular/tsc-wrapped@4` is still maintained and required by
Angular 4.x.x and will be maintained as long as 4.x.x is in
LTS.

This change allows ReflectiveInjector to be tree shaken resulting
in not needed Reflect polyfil and smaller bundles.
Code savings for HelloWorld using Closure:
Reflective: bundle.js: 105,864(34,190 gzip)
Static: bundle.js: 154,889(33,555 gzip)
645( 2%)
BREAKING CHANGE:
`platformXXXX()` no longer accepts providers which depend on reflection.
Specifically the method signature when from `Provider[]` to
`StaticProvider[]`.
Example:
Before:
```
[
MyClass,
{provide: ClassA, useClass: SubClassA}
]
```
After:
```
[
{provide: MyClass, deps: [Dep1,...]},
{provide: ClassA, useClass: SubClassA, deps: [Dep1,...]}
]
```
NOTE: This only applies to platform creation and providers for the JIT
compiler. It does not apply to `@Compotent` or `@NgModule` provides
declarations.
Benchpress note: Previously Benchpress also supported reflective
provides, which now require static providers.
DEPRECATION:
- `ReflectiveInjector` is now deprecated as it will be remove. Use
`Injector.create` as a replacement.

The Router use the type `Params` for all of:
- position parameters,
- matrix parameters,
- query parameters.
`Params` is defined as follow `type Params = {[key: string]: any}`
Because parameters can either have single or multiple values, the type should
actually be `type Params = {[key: string]: string | string[]}`.
The client code often assumes that parameters have single values, as in the
following exemple:
```
class MyComponent {
sessionId: Observable<string>;
constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.sessionId = this.route
.queryParams
.map(params => params['session_id'] || 'None');
}
}
```
The problem here is that `params['session_id']` could be `string` or `string[]`
but the error is not caught at build time because of the `any` type.
Fixing the type as describe above would break the build because `sessionId`
would becomes an `Observable<string | string[]>`.
However the client code knows if it expects a single or multiple values. By
using the new `ParamMap` interface the user code can decide when it needs a
single value (calling `ParamMap.get(): string`) or multiple values (calling
`ParamMap.getAll(): string[]`).
The above exemple should be rewritten as:
```
class MyComponent {
sessionId: Observable<string>;
constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.sessionId = this.route
.queryParamMap
.map(paramMap => paramMap.get('session_id') || 'None');
}
}
```
Added APIs:
- `interface ParamMap`,
- `ActivatedRoute.paramMap: ParamMap`,
- `ActivatedRoute.queryParamMap: ParamMap`,
- `ActivatedRouteSnapshot.paramMap: ParamMap`,
- `ActivatedRouteSnapshot.queryParamMap: ParamMap`,
- `UrlSegment.parameterMap: ParamMap`
E.g. for a component like this:
```
@Component({
template: ‘<ng-content select=“child”></ng-content>’
})
class MyComp {
@Input(‘aInputName’)
aInputProp: string;
@Output(‘aEventName’)
aOuputProp: EventEmitter<any>;
}
```
the `ComponentFactory` will now contain the following:
- `inputs = {aInputProp: ‘aInputName’}`
- `outputs = {aOutputProp: ‘aOutputName’}`
- `ngContentSelectors = [‘child’]`
E.g. for a component like this:
```
@Component({
template: ‘<ng-content select=“child”></ng-content>’
})
class MyComp {
@Input(‘aInputName’)
aInputProp: string;
@Output(‘aEventName’)
aOuputProp: EventEmitter<any>;
}
```
the `ComponentFactory` will now contain the following:
- `inputs = {aInputProp: ‘aInputName’}`
- `outputs = {aOutputProp: ‘aOutputName’}`
- `ngContentSelectors = [‘child’]`

Before this change there was a single injector tree.
Now we have 2 injector trees, one for the modules and one for the components.
This fixes lazy loading modules.
See the design docs for details:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OEUIwc-s69l1o97K0wBd_-Lth5BBxir1KuCRWklTlI4
BREAKING CHANGES
`ComponentFactory.create()` takes an extra optional `NgModuleRef` parameter.
No change should be required in user code as the correct module will be used
when none is provided
DEPRECATIONS
The following methods were used internally and are no more required:
- `RouterOutlet.locationFactoryResolver`
- `RouterOutlet.locationInjector`
DEPRECATION:
Use `RouterModule.forRoot(routes, {initialNavigation: 'enabled'})` instead of
`RouterModule.forRoot(routes, {initialNavigtaion: true})`.
Before doing this, move the initialization logic affecting the router
from the bootstrapped component to the boostrapped module.
Similarly, use `RouterModule.forRoot(routes, {initialNavigation: 'disabled'})`
instead of `RouterModule.forRoot(routes, {initialNavigation: false})`.
Deprecated options: 'legacy_enabled', `true` (same as 'legacy_enabled'),
'legacy_disabled', `false` (same as 'legacy_disabled').
The "Router Initial Navigation" design document covers this change.

Previously, the relative order of the AngularJS compiling/linking operations was
not similar to AngularJS's, resulting in inconsistent behavior for upgraded
components (which made upgrading to Angular less straight forward).
This commit fixes it, by following the compiling/linking process of AngularJS
more closely.
Main differences:
- The components view is already populated when the controller is instantiated
(and subsequent hooks are called).
- The correct DOM content is available when running the `$onChanges`, `$onInit`,
`$doCheck` hooks. Previously, the "content children" were still present, not
the "view children".
- The same for pre-linking.
- The template is compiled in the correct DOM context (e.g. has access to
ancestors). Previously, it was compiled in isolation, inside a dummy element.
For reference, here is the order of operations:
**Before**
1. Compile template
2. Instantiate controller
3. Hook: $onChanges
4. Hook: $onInit
5. Hook: $doCheck
6. Pre-linking
7. Collect content children
8. Insert compiled template
9. Linking
10. Post-linking
11. Hook: $postLink
**After**
1. Collect content children
2. Insert template
3. Compile template
4. Instantiate controller
5. Hook: $onChanges
6. Hook: $onInit
7. Hook: $doCheck
8. Pre-linking
9. Linking
10. Post-linking
11. Hook: $postLink
Fixes#13912
Secondary entry points (testing, static, etc) are rolled up into a
single ESM/ES2015 file, then downleveled to ESM/ES2015. This downleveling
was not working and was producing ESM/ES2015. Also, the @angular/core
package's .babelrc file was missing reference to Rx Observable which
broke the UMD bundle.
Fixes#14730
After the introduction of the view engine, we can drop a lot of code that is not used any more.
This should reduce the size of the app bundles because a lot of this code was not being properly tree-shaken by today's tools even though it was dead code.
