Previously, the `FileSystem` abstraction featured a `mkdir()` method. In
`NodeJSFileSystem` (the default `FileSystem` implementation used in
actual code), the method behaved similar to Node.js' `fs.mkdirSync()`
(i.e. failing if any parent directory is missing or the directory exists
already). In contrast, `MockFileSystem` (which is the basis or mock
`FileSystem` implementations used in tests) implemented `mkdir()` as an
alias to `ensureDir()`, which behaved more like Node.js'
`fs.mkdirSync()` with the `recursive` option set to `true` (i.e.
creating any missing parent directories and succeeding if the directory
exists already).
This commit fixes this inconsistency by removing the `mkdir()` method,
which was not used anyway and only keeping `ensureDir()` (which is
consistent across our different `FileSystem` implementations).
PR Close#33237
When `ngcc` is running in parallel mode (usually when run from the
command line) and the `createNewEntryPointFormats` option is set to true
(e.g. via the `--create-ivy-entry-points` command line option), it can
happen that two workers end up trying to create the same directory at
the same time. This can lead to a race condition, where both check for
the directory existence, see that the directory does not exist and both
try to create it, with the second failing due the directory's having
already been created by the first one. Note that this only affects
directories and not files, because `ngcc` tasks operate on different
sets of files.
This commit avoids this race condition by allowing `FileSystem`'s
`ensureDir()` method to not fail if one of the directories it is trying
to create already exists (and is indeed a directory). This is fine for
the `ensureDir()` method, since it's purpose is to ensure that the
specified directory exists. So, even if the `mkdir()` call failed
(because the directory exists), `ensureDir()` has still completed its
mission.

Often the types of an `@Input`'s field don't fully reflect the types of
assignable values. This can happen when an input has a getter/setter pair
where the getter always returns a narrow type, and the setter coerces a
wider value down to the narrow type.
For example, you could imagine an input of the form:
```typescript
@Input() get value(): string {
return this._value;
}
set value(v: {toString(): string}) {
this._value = v.toString();
}
```
Here, the getter always returns a `string`, but the setter accepts any value
that can be `toString()`'d, and coerces it to a string.
Unfortunately TypeScript does not actually support this syntax, and so
Angular users are forced to type their setters as narrowly as the getters,
even though at runtime the coercion works just fine.
To support these kinds of patterns (e.g. as used by Material), this commit
adds a compiler feature called "input coercion". When a binding is made to
the 'value' input of a directive like MatInput, the compiler will look for a
static function with the name ngCoerceInput_value. If such a function is
found, the type-checking expression for the input will be wrapped in a call
to the function, allowing for the expression of a type conversion between
the binding expression and the value being written to the input's field.
To solve the case above, for example, MatInput might write:
```typescript
class MatInput {
// rest of the directive...
static ngCoerceInput_value(value: {toString(): string}): string {
return null!;
}
}
```

As a hack to get the Ivy compiler ngtsc off the ground, the existing
'allowEmptyCodegenFiles' option was used to control generation of ngfactory
and ngsummary shims during compilation. This option was selected since it's
enabled in google3 but never enabled in external projects.
As ngtsc is now mature and the role shims play in compilation is now better
understood across the ecosystem, this commit introduces two new compiler
options to control shim generation:
* generateNgFactoryShims controls the generation of .ngfactory shims.
* generateNgSummaryShims controls the generation of .ngsummary shims.
The 'allowEmptyCodegenFiles' option is still honored if either of the above

Prior to this change, the template type checker would always allow a
value of type `undefined` to be passed into a directive's inputs, even
if the input's type did not allow for it. This was due to how the type
constructor for a directive was generated, where a `Partial` mapped
type was used to allow for inputs to be unset. This essentially
introduces the `undefined` type as acceptable type for all inputs.
This commit removes the `Partial` type from the type constructor, which
means that we can no longer omit any properties that were unset.
Instead, any properties that are not set will still be included in the
type constructor call, having their value assigned to `any`.

In an attempt to be compatible with previous translation files
the Angular compiler was generating instructions that always

NOTE:
When translating messages generated by the Angular compiler
from i18n tags in templates, the `$localize.translate()` function
will compute message ids, if no custom id is provided, using a
common digest function that only relies upon the information
available in the `$localize()` calls.
This computed message id will not be the same as the message
ids stored in legacy translation files. Such files will need to be
migrated to use the new common digest function.
This only affects developers who have been trialling `$localize`, have
been calling `loadTranslations()`, and are not exclusively using custom
ids in their templates.

// Output
class Service {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
factory: () => Service.ngFactoryFn(),
});
static ngFactoryFn: (t) => new (t || Service)();

2. For injectables that do configure how they're created, we keep the `ngFactoryDef` and generate the factory based on the metadata:
```
// Source
@Injectable({
useValue: DEFAULT_IMPL,
})
class Service {}
// Output
export class Service {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
factory: () => DEFAULT_IMPL,

ngcc may need to insert public exports into the bundle's source as well
as to the entry-point's declaration file, as the Ivy compiler may need
to create import statements to internal library types. The way ngcc
knows which exports to add is through the references registry, to which
references to things that require a public export are added by the
various analysis steps that are executed.
One of these analysis steps is the augmentation of declaration files
where functions that return `ModuleWithProviders` are updated so that a
generic type argument is added that corresponds with the `NgModule` that
is actually imported. This type has to be publicly exported, so the
analyzer step has to add the module type to the references registry.
A problem occurs when `ModuleWithProviders` already has a generic type
argument, in which case no update of the declaration file is necessary.
This may happen when 1) ngcc is processing additional bundle formats, so
that the declaration file has already been updated while processing the
first bundle format, or 2) when a package is processed which already
contains the generic type in its source. In both scenarios it may occur
that the referenced `NgModule` type does not yet have a public export,
so it is crucial that a reference to the type is added to the
references registry, which ngcc failed to do.
This commit fixes the issue by always adding the referenced `NgModule`
type to the references registry, so that a public export will always be
created if necessary.

Now that the `$localize` translations are `MessageId` based the
compiler must render `MessageId`s in its generated `$localize` code.
This is because the `MessageId` used by the compiler is computed
from information that does not get passed through to the `$localize`
tagged string.
For example, the generated code for the following template
```html
<div id="static" i18n-title="m|d" title="introduction"></div>
```
will contain these localization statements
```ts
if (ngI18nClosureMode) {
/**
* @desc d
* @meaning m
*/
const MSG_EXTERNAL_8809028065680254561$$APP_SPEC_TS_1 = goog.getMsg("introduction");
I18N_1 = MSG_EXTERNAL_8809028065680254561$$APP_SPEC_TS_1;
}
else {
I18N_1 = $localize \`:m|d@@8809028065680254561:introduction\`;
}
```
Since `$localize` is not able to accurately regenerate the source-message
(and so the `MessageId`) from the generated code, it must rely upon the
`MessageId` being provided explicitly in the generated code.
The compiler now prepends all localized messages with a "metadata block"
containing the id (and the meaning and description if defined).
Note that this metadata block will also allow translation file extraction
from the compiled code - rather than relying on the legacy ViewEngine
extraction code. (This will be implemented post-v9).
Although these metadata blocks add to the initial code size, compile-time
inlining will completely remove these strings and so will not impact on
production bundle size.

This commit adds a logic to make sure we do not generate i18n instructions in case only `template` is present.

In ngcc's reflection host for UMD and CommonJS bundles, custom logic is
present to resolve import details of an identifier. However, this custom
logic is unable to resolve an import for an identifier inside of
declaration files, as such files use the regular ESM import syntax.
As a consequence of this limitation, ngtsc is unable to resolve
`ModuleWithProviders` imports that are declared in an external library.
In that situation, ngtsc determines the type of the actual `NgModule`
that is imported, by looking in the library's declaration files for the
generic type argument on `ModuleWithProviders`. In this process, ngtsc
resolves the import for the `ModuleWithProviders` identifier to verify
that it is indeed the `ModuleWithProviders` type from `@angular/core`.
So, when the UMD reflection host was in use this resolution would fail,
therefore no `NgModule` type could be detected.
This commit fixes the bug by using the regular import resolution logic
in addition to the custom resolution logic that is required for UMD
and CommonJS bundles.

In ESM2015 bundles, a class with decorators may be emitted as follows:
```javascript
var MyClass_1;
let MyClass = MyClass_1 = class MyClass {};
MyClass.decorators = [/* here be decorators */];
```
Such a class has two declarations: the publicly visible `let MyClass`
and the implementation `class MyClass {}` node. In #32539 a refactoring
took place to handle such classes more consistently, however the logic
to find static properties was mistakenly kept identical to its broken
state before the refactor, by looking for static properties on the
implementation symbol (the one for `class MyClass {}`) whereas the
static properties need to be obtained from the symbol corresponding with
the `let MyClass` declaration, as that is where the `decorators`
property is assigned to in the example above.
This commit fixes the behavior by looking for static properties on the
public declaration symbol. This fixes an issue where decorators were not
found for classes that do in fact have decorators, therefore preventing
the classes from being compiled for Ivy.

In ngcc's reflection hosts for compiled JS bundles, such as ESM2015,
special care needs to be taken for classes as there may be an outer
declaration (referred to as "declaration") and an inner declaration
(referred to as "implementation") for a given class. Therefore, there
will also be two `ts.Symbol`s bound per class, and ngcc needs to switch
between those declarations and symbols depending on where certain
information can be found.
Prior to this commit, the `NgccReflectionHost` interface had methods
`getClassSymbol` and `findClassSymbols` that would return a `ts.Symbol`.
These class symbols would be used to kick off compilation of components
using ngtsc, so it is important for these symbols to correspond with the
publicly visible outer declaration of the class. However, the ESM2015
reflection host used to return the `ts.Symbol` for the inner
declaration, if the class was declared as follows:
```javascript
var MyClass = class MyClass {};
```
For the above code, `Esm2015ReflectionHost.getClassSymbol` would return
the `ts.Symbol` corresponding with the `class MyClass {}` declaration,
whereas it should have corresponded with the `var MyClass` declaration.
As a consequence, no `NgModule` could be resolved for the component, so
no components/directives would be in scope for the component. This
resulted in errors during runtime.
This commit resolves the issue by introducing a `NgccClassSymbol` that
contains references to both the outer and inner `ts.Symbol`, instead of
just a single `ts.Symbol`. This avoids the unclarity of whether a
`ts.Symbol` corresponds with the outer or inner declaration.

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).

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.

Previously, the emulated Windows mode would normalize rooted paths to

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.

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.

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`

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`).

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.

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 Angular today, the following pattern works:
```typescript
export class BaseDir {
constructor(@Inject(ViewContainerRef) protected vcr: ViewContainerRef) {}
}
@Directive({
selector: '[child]',
})
export class ChildDir extends BaseDir {
// constructor inherited from BaseDir
}
```
A decorated child class can inherit a constructor from an undecorated base
class, so long as the base class has metadata of its own (for JIT mode).
This pattern works regardless of metadata in AOT.
In Angular Ivy, this pattern does not work: without the @Directive
annotation identifying the base class as a directive, information about its
constructor parameters will not be captured by the Ivy compiler. This is a
result of Ivy's locality principle, which is the basis behind a number of
compilation optimizations.
As a solution, @Directive() without a selector will be interpreted as a
"directive base class" annotation. Such a directive cannot be declared in an
NgModule, but can be inherited from. To implement this, a few changes are
made to the ngc compiler:
* the error for a selector-less directive is now generated when an NgModule
declaring it is processed, not when the directive itself is processed.
* selector-less directives are not tracked along with other directives in
the compiler, preventing other errors (like their absence in an NgModule)
from being generated from them.

The language service relies on a "context" file that is used as the
canonical "containing file" when performing module resolution.
This file is unnecessary since the language service host's current
directory always default to the location of tsconfig.json for the
project, which would give the correct result.
This refactoring allows us to simplify the "typescript host" and also
removes the need for custom logic to find tsconfig.json.

Similar to interpolation, we do not want to completely remove whitespace
nodes that are siblings of an expansion.
For example, the following template
```html
<div>
<strong>items left<strong> {count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}
</div>
```
was being collapsed to
```html
<div><strong>items left<strong>{count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}</div>
```
which results in the text looking like
```
items left4
```
instead it should be collapsed to
```html
<div><strong>items left<strong> {count, plural, =1 {item} other {items}}</div>
```
which results in the text looking like
```
items left 4

Previously if only a component template changed then we would know to
rebuild its component source file. But the compilation was incorrect if the
component was part of an NgModule, since we were not capturing the
compilation scope information that had a been acquired from the NgModule
and was not being regenerated since we were not needing to recompile
the NgModule.
Now we register compilation scope information for each component, via the
`ComponentScopeRegistry` interface, so that it is available for incremental
compilation.
The `ComponentDecoratorHandler` now reads the compilation scope from a
`ComponentScopeReader` interface which is implemented as a compound
reader composed of the original `LocalModuleScopeRegistry` and the
`IncrementalState`.

Publishing of NGCC packages should not be allowed. It is easy for a user to publish an NGCC'd version of a library they have workspace libraries which are being used in a workspace application.
If a users builds a library and afterwards the application, the library will be transformed with NGCC and since NGCC taints the distributed files that should be published.
With this change we use the npm/yarn `prepublishOnly` hook to display and error and abort the process with a non zero error code when a user tries to publish an NGCC version of the package.

Previously, when run with `createNewEntryPointFormats: true`, `ngcc`
would only update `package.json` with the new entry-point for the first
format property that mapped to a format-path. Subsequent properties
mapping to the same format-path would be detected as processed and not
have their new entry-point format recorded in `package.json`.
This commit fixes this by ensuring `package.json` is updated for all
matching format properties, when writing an `EntryPointBundle`.

This change basically moves some checks to happen up front and ensures
we don't try to process any more properties than we absolutely need.
(The properties would not be processed before either, but we would
consider them, before finding out that they have already been processed
or that they do not exist in the entry-point's `package.json`.)
This change should make no difference in the work done by `ngcc`, but it

ngcc analyzes the dependency structure of the entrypoints it needs to
process, as the compilation of entrypoints is ordering sensitive: any
dependent upon entrypoint must be compiled before its dependees. As part
of the analysis of the dependency graph, it is detected when a
dependency of entrypoint is not installed, in which case that entrypoint
will be marked as ignored.
For libraries that work with Angular Universal to run in NodeJS, imports
into builtin NodeJS modules can be present. ngcc's dependency analyzer
can only resolve imports within the TypeScript compilation, which
builtin modules are not part of. Therefore, such imports would
erroneously cause the entrypoint to become ignored.
This commit fixes the problem by taking the NodeJS builtins into account
when dealing with missing imports.

When a target entrypoint to compile is provided, it could occur that

Previously, `ngcc` would avoid processing a `formatPath` that a property
in `package.json` mapped to, if either the _property_ was marked as
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
persists across `ngcc` runs).
PR Close#32003
Previously, when `ngcc` was called with `compileAllFormats === false`
(i.e. how `@angular/cli` calls it), it would not attempt to process
more properties, once the first was successfully processed. However, it
_would_ continue looping over them and perform some unnecessary
operations, such as:
- Determining the format each property maps to (which can be an
expensive operation for some properties mapping to either UMD or
CommonJS).
- Checking whether each property has been processed (which involves
checking whether any property has been processed with a different
version of `ngcc` each time).
- Potentially marking properties as processed (which involves a
file-write operation).
This commit avoids the unnecessary operations by entirely skipping
subsequent properties, once the first one has been successfully
processed. While this theoretically improves performance, it is not
expected to have any noticeable impact in practice, since the list of
`propertiesToConsider` is typically small and the most expensive
operation (marking a property as processed) has low likelihood of
happening (plus these operations are a tiny fraction of `ngcc`'s work).
PR Close#32003
Previously, when `ngcc` needed to mark multiple properties as processed
(e.g. a processed format property and `typings` or all supported
properties for a non-Angular entry-point), it would update each one
separately and write the file to disk multiple times.
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.
This change will be useful for a subsequent change to mark all
properties that map to the same `formatPath` as processed, once it is
processed the first time.

This commit changes the emit order of ngcc when a class has multiple static
fields being assigned. Previously, ngcc would emit each static field
followed immediately by any extra statements specified for that field. This

all of the static fields for a class to be grouped together. ngtsc already
groups static fields and additional statements. This commit changes ngcc's
ordering to match.

If a project being built with ngtsc has no templates to check, then ngtsc
previously generated an empty typecheck file. This seems to trigger some
pathological behavior in TS where the entire user program is re-checked,
which is extremely expensive. This likely has to do with the fact that the
empty file is not considered an ES module, meaning the module structure of
the program has changed.
This commit causes an export to be produced in the typecheck file regardless
of its other contents, which guarantees that it will be an ES module. The
pathological behavior is avoided and template type-checking is fast once
again.

An identifier may become repeated when bundling multiple source files
into a single bundle, so bundlers have a strategy of suffixing non-unique
identifiers with a suffix like $2. Since ngcc operates on such bundles,
it needs to process potentially suffixed identifiers in their canonical
form without the suffix. The "ngx-pagination" package was previously not
compiled fully, as most decorators were not recognized.
This commit ensures that identifiers are first canonicalized by removing
the suffix, such that they are properly recognized and processed by ngcc.
Fixes#31540
PR Close#31614
Any decorator information present in TypeScript is emitted into the
generated JavaScript sources by means of `__decorate` call. This call
contains both the decorators as they existed in the original source
code, together with calls to `tslib` helpers that convey additional
information on e.g. type information and parameter decorators. These
different kinds of decorator calls were not previously distinguished on
their own, but instead all treated as `Decorator` by themselves. The
"decorators" that were actually `tslib` helper calls were conveniently
filtered out because they were not imported from `@angular/core`, a
characteristic that ngcc uses to drop certain decorators.
Note that this posed an inconsistency in ngcc when it processes
`@angular/core`'s UMD bundle, as the `tslib` helper functions have been
inlined in said bundle. Because of the inlining, the `tslib` helpers
appear to be from `@angular/core`, so ngcc would fail to drop those
apparent "decorators". This inconsistency does not currently cause any
issues, as ngtsc is specifically looking for decorators based on their
name and any remaining decorators are simply ignored.
This commit rewrites the decorator analysis of a class to occur all in a
single phase, instead of all throughout the `ReflectionHost`. This
allows to categorize the various decorate calls in a single sweep,
instead of constantly needing to filter out undesired decorate calls on
the go. As an added benefit, the computed decorator information is now
cached per class, such that subsequent reflection queries that need
decorator information can reuse the cached info.
