A long time ago Angular used to support both those attribute notations:
- `*attr='binding'`
- `template=`attr: binding`
Because the last notation has been dropped we can refactor the binding parsing.
Source maps will benefit from that as no `attr:` prefix is added artificialy any
more.

When compiling templates the compiler would often bind to
closest context rather than the component context.
The only time one should be binding to the cont component is
in explicit cases where the inner template declares local variable.

Computing the value of loadChildren does not work externally, as the CLI
needs to be able to detect the paths referenced to properly set up
codesplitting. However, internally, different approaches to codesplitting
require hashed module IDs, and the computation of those hashes involves
something like:
{path: '...', loadChildren: hashFn('module')}
ngc should lower loadChildren into an exported constant in that case.
This will never break externally, because loadChildren is always a
string externally, and a string won't get lowered.

This lets projects like Material change ng_package "bundle index" files to non-conflicting paths
Currently packages like @angular/core ship with the generated metadata
in a path like 'core.js' which overwrites one of the inputs.
Angular material puts the generated file in a path like 'index.js'
Either way these files generated by ng_module rules have the potential
to collide with inputs given by the user, which results in an error.
Instead, give users the freedom to choose a different non-conflicting name.
Also this refactors the ng_package rule, removing the redundant
secondary_entry_points attribute.
Instead, we assume that any ng_module in the deps with a module_name
attribute is a secondary entry point.

Previously the injectable compiler assumed all tree-shakeable injectables
would have dependencies that were injectables or InjectionTokens. However

"ng update" supports having multiple packages as part of a group which should be updated together, meaning that e.g. calling "ng update @angular/core" would be equivalent to updating all packages of the group (that are part of the package.json already).
In order to support the grouping feature, the package.json of the version the user is updating to needs to include an "ng-update" key that points to this metadata.
The entire specification for the update workflow can be found here: 2e8b12a4ef/docs/specifications/update.md

InjectionToken can be created with an ngInjectableDef, and previously
this allowed the full expressiveness of @Injectable. However, this
requires a runtime reflection system in order to generate factories
from expressed provider declarations.
Instead, this change requires scoped InjectionTokens to provide the
factory directly (likely using inject() for the arguments), bypassing
the need for a reflection system.

This commit bundles 3 important changes, with the goal of enabling tree-shaking
of services which are never injected. Ordinarily, this tree-shaking is prevented
by the existence of a hard dependency on the service by the module in which it
is declared.
Firstly, @Injectable() is modified to accept a 'scope' parameter, which points
to an @NgModule(). This reverses the dependency edge, permitting the module to
not depend on the service which it "provides".
Secondly, the runtime is modified to understand the new relationship created
above. When a module receives a request to inject a token, and cannot find that
token in its list of providers, it will then look at the token for a special
ngInjectableDef field which indicates which module the token is scoped to. If
that module happens to be in the injector, it will behave as if the token
itself was in the injector to begin with.
Thirdly, the compiler is modified to read the @Injectable() metadata and to
generate the special ngInjectableDef field as part of TS compilation, using the
PartialModules system.
Additionally, this commit adds several unit and integration tests of various
flavors to test this change.
PR Close#22005
All of the providers in a module get compiled into a module definition in the
factory file. Some of these providers are for the actual module types, as those
are available for injection in Angular. For tree-shakeable tokens, the runtime
needs to be able to distinguish which modules are present in an injector.
This change adds a NodeFlag which tags those module providers for later
identification.

Structural directives can now specify a type guard that describes
what types can be inferred for an input expression inside the
directive's template.
NgIf was modified to declare an input guard on ngIf.
After this change, `fullTemplateTypeCheck` will infer that
usage of `ngIf` expression inside it's template is truthy.
For example, if a component has a property `person?: Person`
and a template of `<div *ngIf="person"> {{person.name}} </div>`
the compiler will no longer report that `person` might be null or
undefined.
The template compiler will generate code similar to,
```
if (NgIf.ngIfTypeGuard(instance.person)) {
instance.person.name
}
```
to validate the template's use of the interpolation expression.
Calling the type guard in this fashion allows TypeScript to infer
that `person` is non-null.

The current `flattenSummaries` function re-process the same NgModule
summary even if it has been processed before. Certain modules like
CommonModule are repeated multiple times in the module tree and it is
expanded out every time.
This was making unit tests using AOT summaries really slow. This will
also slow down JIT bootstrap applications that load AOT summaries for
component libraries.
The fix is to remember which summaries were seen before and not to
process them again.
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).
For now, we always create all generated files, but diff them
before we pass them to TypeScript.
For the user files, we compare the programs and only emit changed
TypeScript files.
This also adds more diagnostic messages if the `—diagnostics` flag
is passed to the command line.

- previously every import in a stylesheet would generate a new
