We have some internal proxies for all of the Jasmine functions, as well as some other helpers. This code hasn't been touched in more than 5 years, it can lead to confusion and it isn't really necessary since the same can be achieved using Jasmine.

The Validator and AsyncValidator interfaces provide a callback, `registerOnValidatorChange(fn)`. `registerOnValidatorChange` is supposed to be fired at least once to register `fn` with the validator. `fn` is then called by the validator whenever its inputs change. This was previously not happening for FormGroup validators, and is now fixed.

Currently the `Validators` class contains a number of static methods that represent different validators as well as some helper methods. Since class methods are not tree-shakable, any reference to the `Validator` class retains all of its methods (even if you've used just one).
This commit refactors the code to extract the logic into standalone functions and use these functions in the code instead of referencing them via `Validators` class. That should make the code more tree-shakable. The `Validators` class still retains its structure and calls these standalone methods internally to keep this change backwards-compatible.

This commit updates Forms code to avoid direct references to all built-in ControlValueAccessor classes, which

built-in one.

Currently the code in the `FormGroupDirective` assumes that the shape of the underlying `FormGroup` never

This commit adds the `emitEvent` option to the following FormArray and FormGroup methods:
* FormGroup.addControl
* FormGroup.removeControl
* FormGroup.setControl
* FormArray.push
* FormArray.insert
* FormArray.removeAt
* FormArray.setControl
* FormArray.clear
This option can be used to prevent an event from being emitted when adding or removing controls.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The `emitEvent` option was added to the following `FormArray` and `FormGroup` methods:
* FormGroup.addControl
* FormGroup.removeControl
* FormGroup.setControl
* FormArray.push
* FormArray.insert
* FormArray.removeAt
* FormArray.setControl
* FormArray.clear
If your app has custom classes that extend `FormArray` or `FormGroup` classes and override the
above-mentioned methods, you may need to update your implementation to take the new options into
account and make sure that overrides are compatible from a types perspective.

This commit adds the missing `min` and `max` validators.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously `min` and `max` attributes defined on the `<input type="number">`
were ignored by Forms module. Now presence of these attributes would
trigger min/max validation logic (in case `formControl`, `formControlName`
or `ngModel` directives are also present on a given input) and
corresponding form control status would reflect that.

Prior to this commit, the `patchValue()` of the `FormGroup` and `FormArray` classes used to throw an exception
when the `value` argument contained a data structure that has `null` or `undefined` as a value for a field
that represents an instance of `FormGroup` or `FormArray` (for `FormControl` it's not a problem, since it
doesn't have nested controls), since the `patchValue()` method tried to iterate over provided values to
match current data structure.
This commit updates the `patchValue()` logic in `FormGroup` and `FormArray` classes to just ignore `null` and
`undefined` values (without any changes to corresponding `FormGroup` and `FormArray` instances). This
behavior looks inline with the `patchValue()` method goal of "doing its best to match the values to the
correct controls" (quote from docs).

PR #39235 introduced additional cleanup logic for form controls and directives. The cleanup logic relies
on the presence of ControlValueAccessor instances on FormControlName and FormControl directives. In general
these fields are present and there are also checks to make sure that the mentioned directive instances are
created with CVAs. However some scenarios (primarily tests) may invoke the logic in a way that the directive
instance would not be fully initialized, thus causing CVA to be absent. As a result, the cleanup logic fails
while trying to call some methods on associated CVA instances.
This commit updates the cleanup logic to take into account the situation when CVA is not present.
Fixes#40521.

When a form is reset, it goes through `_forEachChild` to call `reset` on each of its children.
The problem is that if a control is removed while the loop is running (e.g. by a subscription),
the form will throw an error, because it built up the list of available control before the loop
started.
These changes fix the issue by adding a null check before invoing the callback.

The `NgControlStatusGroup` directive is shared between template-driven and reactive form modules. In cases when
only reactive forms module is present, the `NgControlStatusGroup` directive is still activated on all `<form>`
elements, but if there is no other reactive directive applied (such as `formGroup`), corresponding `ControlContainer`
token is missing, thus causing exceptions (since `NgControlStatusGroup` directive relies on it to determine the
status). This commit updates the logic to handle the case when no `ControlContainer` is present (effectively making
directive logic a noop in this case).
Alternative approach (more risky) worth considering in the future is to split the `NgControlStatusGroup` into
2 directives with different set of selectors and include them into template-driven and reactive modules separately.
The downside is that these directives might be activated simultaneously on the same element (e.g. `<form>`),
effectively doing the work twice.

Prior to this commit, removing `FormControlDirective` and `FormGroupName` directive instances didn't clear
the callbacks previously registered on FromControl/FormGroup class instances. As a result, these callbacks
were executed even after `FormControlDirective` and `FormGroupName` directive instances were destroyed. That was
also causing memory leaks since these callbacks also retained references to DOM elements.
This commit updates the cleanup logic to take care of properly detaching FormControl/FormGroup/FormArray instances
from the view by removing view-specific callback at destroy time.

This expands the deprecation message that started to pop up in v11.0.3
after the landing of commit e148382bd0,
that deprecated the `{[key: string]: any}` type for the options property of the `FormBuilder.group` method.
It turns out that having a custom validator declared as
`{ validators: (group: FormGroup) => ValidationErrors|null }` works in practice,
but is now inferred by TS as the deprecated version of `group`
(because `FormGroup` is a subclass of `AbstractControl` that `ValidatorFn` expects).
We considered the possibility of tweaking the forms API to accept such validators,
but it turns out to generate too many changes in the framework or possible breaking changes for Angular users.
We settled for a more explicit deprecation message, elaborated with the help of @petebacondarwin.
This will hopefully help developers to understand why the deprecation warning is showing up
when they think they are already using the non-deprecated overload.

The value of a `FormControl` is treated in a special way (called boxed values) when it's an object with exactly

value when `disabled` field is present, but `value` is missing.

Currently when an instance of the `FormControlName` directive is destroyed, the Forms package invokes
the `cleanUpControl` to clear all directive-specific logic (such as validators, onChange handlers,
etc) from a bound control. The logic of the `cleanUpControl` function should revert all setup
performed by the `setUpControl` function. However the `cleanUpControl` is too aggressive and removes
all callbacks related to the onChange and disabled state handling. This is causing problems when
a form control is bound to multiple FormControlName` directives, causing other instances of that
directive to stop working correctly when the first one is destroyed.
This commit updates the cleanup logic to only remove callbacks added while setting up a control
for a given directive instance.
The fix is needed to allow adding `cleanUpControl` function to other places where cleanup is needed
(missing this function calls in some other places causes memory leak issues).
PR Close#39623
Prior to this commit, the `cleanUpControl` function (responsible for cleaning up control instance)
was not taking validators into account. As a result, these validators remain registered on a detached
form control instance, thus causing memory leaks. This commit updates the `cleanUpControl` function
logic to also run validators cleanup.
As a part of this change, the logic to setup and cleanup validators was refactored and moved to
separate functions (with completely opposite behavior), so that they can be reused in the future.
This commit doesn't add the `cleanUpControl` calls to all possible places, it just fixes the cases
where this function is being called, but doesn't fully perform a cleanup. The `cleanUpControl`
function calls will be added to other parts of code (to avoid more memory leaks) in a followup PR.

This commit refactors validators-related logic that is common across most of the directives.
A couple notes on this refactoring:
* common logic was moved to the `AbstractControlDirective` class (including `validator` and
`asyncValidator` getters)
* sync/async validators are now composed in `AbstractControlDirective` class eagerly when validators
are set with `_setValidators` and `_setAsyncValidators` calls and the result is stored in directive
instance (thus getters return cached versions of validator fn). This is needed to make sure composed
validator function remains the same (retains its identity) for a given directive instance, so that
this function can be added and later removed from an instance of an AbstractControl-based class
(like `FormControl`). Preserving validator function is required to perform proper cleanup (in followup
PRs) of the AbstractControl-based classes when a directive is destroyed.

Prior to this change, the `validators` and `asyncValidators` fields of a few Forms directives
were typed as `any[]`. This commit updates the types and makes them consistent for all directives
in the Forms package.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Directives in the `@angular/forms` package used to have `any[]` as a type of `validators` and
`asyncValidators` arguments in constructors. Now these arguments are properly typed, so if your
code relies on directive constructor types it may require some updates to improve type safety.

It's perfectly valid for an abstract control not to have a defined parent; yet previously the
types were asserting that AbstractControl#parent is not a null value. This changes correctly
reflects the run-time behavior through the types.
BREAKING CHANGE: Type of AbstractFormControl.parent now includes null
`null` is now included in the types of .parent. If you don't already have a check for this case,
the TypeScript compiler might compain. A v11 migration exists which adds the not-null assertion
operator where necessary.
In an unlikely case your code was testing the parnet against undefined with sitrct equality,
you'll need to change this to `=== null` instead, since the parent is not explicily initialized
with `null` instead of being left `undefined`.

NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR is a multi injection token, users can and
should expect more than one ControlValueAccessor to be
available (and this is how it is used in @angular/forms).
This is now reflected in the definition of the injection token
by typing it as an array of ControlValueAccessor. The motivating
reason is that using the programmatic Injector api will now
type Injector#get correspondingly.

NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR is now typed as a readonly array rather than
a mutable scalar. It is used as a multi injection token and as

Prior to this commit, a lot of internal-only class properties and methods (such as `ngOnChanges`)
of the Forms package directives were exposed on angular.io website. These fields are not expected
to be called externally (they are used/invoked by framework only), since they are part of internal
implementations of the following interfaces:
* Angular lifecycle hook interfaces
* ControlValueAccessor interface
* Validator interface
Having these internal-only fields in docs creates unnecessary noise on directive detail pages.
This commit adds the `@nodoc` annotation to these properties and methods to keep fields in the
golden files, but hide them in docs.
