This is because there is no caching. To make matters worse, module

Prior to this commit, a directive with a selector `selector=".Titledir"` would not match an element like `div class="titleDir"` in Ivy whereas it would in VE. The same issue was present for `selector="[title=Titledir]` and `title="titleDir"`. This fixes the Ivy behavior by changing the matching algorithm to use lowercased values.

Prior to this change, the template source mapping details were always
built during the analysis phase, under the assumption that pre-analysed
templates would always correspond with external templates. This has
turned out to be a false assumption, as inline templates are also
pre-analyzed to be able to preload any stylesheets included in the
template.
This commit fixes the bug by capturing the template source mapping
details at the moment the template is parsed, which is either during the
preanalysis phase when preloading is available, or during the analysis
phase when preloading is not supported.
Tests have been added to exercise the template error mapping in
asynchronous compilations where preloading is enabled, similar to how
the CLI performs compilations.

`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.

Previously, `ngcc` needed to store some metadata related to the
processing of each entry-point. This metadata was stored in a `Map`, in
the form of `EntryPointProcessingMetadata` and passed around as needed.
After some recent refactorings, it turns out that this metadata (with
its only remaining property, `hasProcessedTypings`) was no longer used,
because the relevant information was extracted from other sources (such
as the `processDts` property on `Task`s).
This commit cleans up the code by removing the unused code and types.

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.

In order to prevent `ngcc`'d packages (e.g. libraries) from getting
accidentally published, `ngcc` overwrites the `prepublishOnly` npm
script to log a warning and exit with an error. In case we want to
restore the original script (e.g. "undo" `ngcc` processing), we keep a
backup of the original `prepublishOnly` script.
Previously, running `ngcc` a second time (e.g. for a different format)
would create a backup of the overwritten `prepublishOnly` script (if
there was originally no `prepublishOnly` script). As a result, if we
ever tried to "undo" `ngcc` processing and restore the original
`prepublishOnly` script, the error-throwing script would be restored
instead.

script, iff it is not the one we created ourselves (i.e. the

Prior to this commit, listeners order was not preserved in case we coalesce them to avoid triggering unnecessary change detection cycles.

In some scenarios this order might be important (for example with `ngModelChange` and `input` listeners), so this commit updates the logic to put new listeners at the end of the list.

Previously, when the ServiceWorker entered a degraded mode
(`EXISTING_CLIENTS_ONLY` or `SAFE_MODE`) it would remain in that mode
for the rest of the lifetime of ServiceWorker instance. Note that
ServiceWorkers are stopped by the browser after a certain period of
inactivity and a new instance is created as soon as the ServiceWorker
needs to handle an event (such as a request from the page). Those new
instances would start from the `NORMAL` mode.
The reason for this behavior is to err on the side of caution: If we
can't be sure why the ServiceWorker entered the degraded mode, it is
risky to try recovering on the same instance and might lead to
unexpected behavior.
However, it turns out that the `EXISTING_CLIENTS_ONLY` mode can only be
a result of some error happening with the latest version (e.g. a hash
mismatch in the manifest). Therefore, it is safe to recover from that
mode once a new, valid update is successfully installed and to start
accepting new clients.
This commit ensures that the mode is set back to `NORMAL`, when (a) an
update is successfully installed and (b) the current mode is
`EXISTING_CLIENTS_ONLY`.
Besides making the behavior more predictable (instead of relying on the
browser to decide when to terminate the current ServiceWorker instance
and create a new one), this change can also improve the developer
experience:
When people notice the error during debugging and fix it by deploying a
new version (either to production or locally), it is confusing that the
ServiceWorker will fetch and install the update (as seen by the requests
in the Network panel in DevTools) but not serve it to clients. With this
change, the update will be served to new clients as soon as it is
installed.

Since `$localize` is a global function, it must be included in any applications
that use i18n. This is achieved by importing the `@angular/localize` package
into an appropriate bundle, where it will be executed before the renderer
needs to call `$localize`. For CLI based projects, this is best done in
the `polyfills.ts` file.

import '@angular/localize';

This behavior can be observed in the `ng_update_migrations` integration test. See:

When ngcc is called for a specific entry-point, it has to determine
which dependencies to transitively process. To accomplish this, ngcc
traverses the full import graph of the entry-points it encounters, for
which it uses a dependency host to find all module imports. Since
imports look different in the various bundle formats ngcc supports, a
specific dependency host is used depending on the information provided
in an entry-points `package.json` file. If there's not enough
information in the `package.json` file for ngcc to be able to determine
which dependency host to use, ngcc would fail with an error.
If, however, the entry-point is not compiled by Angular, it is not
necessary to process any of its dependencies. None of them can have
been compiled by Angular so ngcc does not need to know about them.
Therefore, this commit changes the behavior to avoid recursing into
dependencies of entry-points that are not compiled by Angular.
In particular, this fixes an issue for packages that have dependencies
on the `date-fns` package. This package has various secondary
entry-points that have a `package.json` file only containing a `typings`
field, without providing additional fields for ngcc to know which
dependency host to use. By not needing a dependency host at all, the
error is avoided.

and adds helper methods enabling getting the property assignment of a
property value and verifying that a property assignment is actually in a
decorator applied to a class.
This is done so that it will be easier to provide Angular definitions
for decorator properties moving forward. Most immediately, this will
provide decorator class verification for #32238.

Prior to this change, the `BINDING_INDEX` of a given lView was reset after processing a template. However change detection can be triggered as a result of View queries processing, thus leading to subsequent `refreshView` call (and executing a template), which in turn operates with the binding index that is not reset after the previous `refreshView` call. This commit updates the logic to reset binding index before we execute a template, so binding index is correct for instructions inside template function.

In ngc is was valid to set the "flatModuleOutFile" option to "null". This is sometimes
necessary if a tsconfig extends from another one but the "fatModuleOutFile" option
needs to be unset (note that "undefined" does not exist as value in JSON)
Now if ngtsc is used to compile the project, ngtsc will fail with an error because it
tries to do string manipulation on the "flatModuleOutFile". This happens because
ngtsc only skips flat module indices if the option is set to "undefined".
Since this is not compatible with what was supported in ngc and such exceptions
should be avoided, the flat module check is now aligned with ngc.
```
TypeError: Cannot read property 'replace' of null

```
Additionally setting the `flatModuleOutFile` option to an empty string
currently results in unexpected behavior. No errors is thrown, but the
flat module index file will be `.ts` (no file name; just extension).
This is now also fixed by treating an empty string similarly to
`null`.

Previously, ngtsc attempted to use the .d.ts schema for HTML elements to
check bindings to DOM properties. However, the TypeScript lib.dom.d.ts
schema does not perfectly align with the Angular DomElementSchemaRegistry,
and these inconsistencies would cause issues in apps. There is also the
concern of supporting both CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA and NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA which
would have been very difficult to do in the existing system.
With this commit, the DomElementSchemaRegistry is employed in ngtsc to check
bindings to the DOM. Previous work on producing template diagnostics is used
to support generation of this different kind of error with the same high
quality of error message.

Angular hooks come after 2 flavours:
- init hooks (OnInit, AfterContentInit, AfterViewInit);
- check hooks (OnChanges, DoChanges, AfterContentChecked, AfterViewChecked).
We need to do more processing for init hooks to ensure that those hooks
are run once and only once for a given directive (even in case of errors).
As soon as all init hooks execute to completion we are only left with the
checks to execute.
It turns out that keeping track of the remaining init hooks to execute is
rather expensive (multiple LView flags reads, writes and checks). But we can
observe that non of this tracking is needed as soon as all init hooks are
completed.
This PR takes advantage of the above observations and splits hooks processing
functions into:
- init-specific (slower but less common);
- check-specific (faster and more common).
NOTE: there is code duplication in this PR and it is left like this intentinally:
hand-inlining this perf-critical code makes the view refresh process substentially

PR Close#32203
Historically, the Angular Compiler has produced both native TypeScript
diagnostics (called ts.Diagnostics) and its own internal Diagnostic format
(called an api.Diagnostic). This was done because TypeScript ts.Diagnostics
cannot be produced for files not in the ts.Program, and template type-
checking diagnostics are naturally produced for external .html template
files.
This design isn't optimal for several reasons:
1) Downstream tooling (such as the CLI) must support multiple formats of
diagnostics, adding to the maintenance burden.
2) ts.Diagnostics have gotten a lot better in recent releases, with support
for suggested changes, highlighting of the code in question, etc. None of
these changes have been of any benefit for api.Diagnostics, which have
continued to be reported in a very primitive fashion.
3) A future plugin model will not support anything but ts.Diagnostics, so
generating api.Diagnostics is a blocker for ngtsc-as-a-plugin.
4) The split complicates both the typings and the testing of ngtsc.
To fix this issue, this commit changes template type-checking to produce
ts.Diagnostics instead. Instead of reporting a special kind of diagnostic
for external template files, errors in a template are always reported in
a ts.Diagnostic that highlights the portion of the template which contains
the error. When this template text is distinct from the source .ts file
(for example, when the template is parsed from an external resource file),
additional contextual information links the error back to the originating
component.
A template error can thus be reported in 3 separate ways, depending on how
the template was configured:
1) For inline template strings which can be directly mapped to offsets in
the TS code, ts.Diagnostics point to real ranges in the source.
This is the case if an inline template is used with a string literal or a
"no-substitution" string. For example:
```typescript
@Component({..., template: `
<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>
`})
export class TestCmp {
bar: string;
}
```
The above template contains an error (no 'baz' property of `TestCmp`). The
error produced by TS will look like:
```
<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>
~~~
test.ts:2:11 - error TS2339: Property 'baz' does not exist on type 'TestCmp'. Did you mean 'bar'?
```
2) For template strings which cannot be directly mapped to offsets in the
TS code, a logical offset into the template string will be included in
the error message. For example:
```typescript
const SOME_TEMPLATE = '<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>';
@Component({..., template: SOME_TEMPLATE})
export class TestCmp {
bar: string;
}
```
Because the template is a reference to another variable and is not an
inline string constant, the compiler will not be able to use "absolute"
positions when parsing the template. As a result, errors will report logical
offsets into the template string:
```
<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>
~~~
test.ts (TestCmp template):2:15 - error TS2339: Property 'baz' does not exist on type 'TestCmp'.
test.ts:3:28
@Component({..., template: TEMPLATE})
~~~~~~~~
Error occurs in the template of component TestCmp.
```
This error message uses logical offsets into the template string, and also
gives a reference to the `TEMPLATE` expression from which the template was
parsed. This helps in locating the component which contains the error.
3) For external templates (templateUrl), the error message is delivered
within the HTML template file (testcmp.html) instead, and additional
information contextualizes the error on the templateUrl expression from
which the template file was determined:
```
<p>Bar: {{baz}}</p>
~~~
testcmp.html:2:15 - error TS2339: Property 'baz' does not exist on type 'TestCmp'.
test.ts:10:31
@Component({..., templateUrl: './testcmp.html'})
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Error occurs in the template of component TestCmp.
```

When a template contains a binding without a value, the template parser
creates an `EmptyExpr` node. This would previously be translated into
an `undefined` value, which would cause a crash downstream as `undefined`
is not included in the allowed type, so it was not handled properly.
This commit prevents the crash by returning an actual expression for empty
bindings.

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:
```
module.exports = {
packages: {

During the dependency analysis phase of ngcc, imports are resolved to
files on disk according to certain module resolution rules. Since module
specifiers are typically missing extensions, or can refer to index.js
barrel files within a directory, the module resolver attempts several
postfixes when searching for a module import on disk. Module specifiers
that already include an extension, however, would fail to be resolved as
ngcc's module resolver failed to check the location on disk without
adding any postfixes.
Closes#32097
PR Close#32181
During the recursive processing of dependencies, ngcc resolves the
requested file to an actual location on disk, by testing various
extensions. For recursive calls however, the path is known to have been
resolved in the module resolver. Therefore, it is safe to move the path
resolution to the initial caller into the recursive process.
Note that this is not expected to improve the performance of ngcc, as
the call to `resolveFileWithPostfixes` is known to succeed immediately,
as the provided path is known to exist without needing to add any
postfixes. Furthermore, the FileSystem caches whether files exist, so
the additional check that we used to do was cheap.

ngcc needs to solve a unique problem when compiling typings for an
entrypoint: it must resolve a declaration within a .js file to its
representation in a .d.ts file. Since such .d.ts files can be used in deep
imports without ever being referenced from the "root" .d.ts, it's not enough
to simply match exported types to the root .d.ts. ngcc must build an index
of all .d.ts files.
Previously, this operation had a bug: it scanned all .d.ts files in the
.d.ts program, not only those within the package. Thus, if a class in the
program happened to share a name with a class exported from a dependency's
.d.ts, ngcc might accidentally modify the wrong .d.ts file, causing a
variety of issues downstream.
To fix this issue, ngcc's .d.ts scanner now limits the .d.ts files it
indexes to only those declared in the current package.

One of the compiler's tasks is to enumerate the exports of a given ES
module. This can happen for example to resolve `foo.bar` where `foo` is a
namespace import:
```typescript
import * as foo from './foo';
@NgModule({
directives: [foo.DIRECTIVES],
})
```
In this case, the compiler must enumerate the exports of `foo.ts` in order
to evaluate the expression `foo.DIRECTIVES`.
When this operation occurs under ngcc, it must deal with the different
module formats and types of exports that occur. In commonjs code, a problem
arises when certain exports are downleveled.
```typescript
export const DIRECTIVES = [
FooDir,
BarDir,
];
```
can be downleveled to:
```javascript
exports.DIRECTIVES = [
FooDir,
BarDir,
```
Previously, ngtsc and ngcc expected that any export would have an associated
`ts.Declaration` node. `export class`, `export function`, etc. all retain
`ts.Declaration`s even when downleveled. But the `export const` construct
above does not. Therefore, ngcc would not detect `DIRECTIVES` as an export
of `foo.ts`, and the evaluation of `foo.DIRECTIVES` would therefore fail.
To solve this problem, the core concept of an exported `Declaration`
according to the `ReflectionHost` API is split into a `ConcreteDeclaration`
which has a `ts.Declaration`, and an `InlineDeclaration` which instead has
a `ts.Expression`. Differentiating between these allows ngcc to return an
`InlineDeclaration` for `DIRECTIVES` and correctly keep track of this
export.

In VE the `Sanitizer` is always available in `BrowserModule` because the VE retrieves it using injection.
In Ivy the injection is optional and we have instructions instead of component definition arrays. The implication of this is that in Ivy the instructions can pull in the sanitizer only when they are working with a property which is known to be unsafe. Because the Injection is optional this works even if no Sanitizer is present. So in Ivy we first use the sanitizer which is pulled in by the instruction, unless one is available through the `Injector` then we use that one instead.
This PR does few things:
1) It makes `Sanitizer` optional in Ivy.
2) It makes `DomSanitizer` tree shakable.
