In v7 of Angular we removed `tsickle` from the default `ngc` pipeline.
This had the negative potential of breaking ES2015 output and SSR due
to a limitation in TypeScript.
TypeScript by default preserves type information for decorated constructor
parameters when `emitDecoratorMetadata` is enabled. For example,
consider this snippet below:
```
@Directive()
export class MyDirective {
constructor(button: MyButton) {}
}
export class MyButton {}
```
TypeScript would generate metadata for the `MyDirective` class it has
a decorator applied. This metadata would be needed in JIT mode, or
for libraries that provide `MyDirective` through NPM. The metadata would
look as followed:
```
let MyDirective = class MyDir {}
MyDirective = __decorate([
Directive(),
__metadata("design:paramtypes", [MyButton]),
], MyDirective);
let MyButton = class MyButton {}
```
Notice that TypeScript generated calls to `__decorate` and
`__metadata`. These calls are needed so that the Angular compiler
is able to determine whether `MyDirective` is actually an directive,
and what types are needed for dependency injection.
The limitation surfaces in this concrete example because `MyButton`
is declared after the `__metadata(..)` call, while `__metadata`
actually directly references `MyButton`. This is illegal though because
`MyButton` has not been declared at this point. This is due to the
so-called temporal dead zone in JavaScript. Errors like followed will
be reported at runtime when such file/code evaluates:
```
Uncaught ReferenceError: Cannot access 'MyButton' before initialization
```
As noted, this is a TypeScript limitation because ideally TypeScript
shouldn't evaluate `__metadata`/reference `MyButton` immediately.
Instead, it should defer the reference until `MyButton` is actually
declared. This limitation will not be fixed by the TypeScript team
though because it's a limitation as per current design and they will
only revisit this once the tc39 decorator proposal is finalized
(currently stage-2 at time of writing).
Given this wontfix on the TypeScript side, and our heavy reliance on
this metadata in libraries (and for JIT mode), we intend to fix this
from within the Angular compiler by downleveling decorators to static
properties that don't need to evaluate directly. For example:
```
MyDirective.ctorParameters = () => [MyButton];
```
With this snippet above, `MyButton` is not referenced directly. Only
lazily when the Angular runtime needs it. This mitigates the temporal
dead zone issue caused by a limitation in TypeScript's decorator
metadata output. See: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/27519.
In the past (as noted; before version 7), the Angular compiler by
default used tsickle that already performed this transformation. We
moved the transformation to the CLI for JIT and `ng-packager`, but now
we realize that we can move this all to a single place in the compiler
so that standalone ngc consumers can benefit too, and that we can
disable tsickle in our Bazel `ngc-wrapped` pipeline (that currently
still relies on tsickle to perform this decorator processing).
This transformation also has another positive side-effect of making
Angular application/library code more compatible with server-side
rendering. In principle, TypeScript would also preserve type information
for decorated class members (similar to how it did that for constructor
parameters) at runtime. This becomes an issue when your application
relies on native DOM globals for decorated class member types. e.g.
```
@Input() panelElement: HTMLElement;
```
Your application code would then reference `HTMLElement` directly
whenever the source file is loaded in NodeJS for SSR. `HTMLElement`
does not exist on the server though, so that will become an invalid
reference. One could work around this by providing global mocks for
these DOM symbols, but that doesn't match up with other places where
dependency injection is used for mocking DOM/browser specific symbols.
More context in this issue: #30586. The TL;DR here is that the Angular
compiler does not care about types for these class members, so it won't
ever reference `HTMLElement` at runtime.
Fixes#30106. Fixes#30586. Fixes#30141.

In #37221 we disabled tsickle passes from transforming the tsc output that is used to publish all
Angular framework and components packages (@angular/*).
This change however revealed a bug in the ngc that caused __decorate and __metadata calls to still
be emitted in the JS code even though we don't depend on them.
Additionally it was these calls that caused code in @angular/material packages to fail at runtime
due to circular dependency in the emitted decorator code documeted as
https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/27519.
This change partially rolls back #37221 by reenabling the decorator to static fields (static
properties) downleveling.
This is just a temporary workaround while we are also fixing root cause in `ngc` - tracked as

As of TypeScript 3.9, the tsc emit is not compatible with Closure
Compiler due to
https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/pull/32011.
There is some hope that this will be fixed by a solution like the one
proposed in
https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/38374 but currently it's
unclear if / when that will
happen.
Since the Closure support has been somewhat already broken, and the
tsickle pass has been a source
of headaches for some time for Angular packages, we are removing it for
now while we rethink our
strategy to make Angular Closure compatible outside of Google.
This change has no effect on our Closure compatibility within Google
which work well because all the
code is compiled from sources and passed through tsickle.
This change only disables the tsickle pass but doesn't remove it.
A follow up PR should either remove all the traces of tscikle or
re-enable the fixed version.
BREAKING CHANGE: Angular npm packages no longer contain jsdoc comments
to support Closure Compiler's advanced optimizations
The support for Closure compiler in Angular packages has been
experimental and broken for quite some
time.
As of TS3.9 Closure is unusable with the JavaScript emit. Please follow
https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/38374 for more
information and updates.
If you used Closure compiler with Angular in the past, you will likely
be better off consuming
Angular packages built from sources directly rather than consuming the
version we publish on npm
which is primarily optimized for Webpack/Rollup + Terser build pipeline.
As a temporary workaround you might consider using your current build
pipeline with Closure flag
`--compilation_level=SIMPLE`. This flag will ensure that your build
pipeline produces buildable and
runnable artifacts, at the cost of increased payload size due to
advanced optimizations being disabled.
If you were affected by this change, please help us understand your
needs by leaving a comment on https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/37234.

Since we no longer hardcode the `package.json` for
entry-points, a bug has appeared for `ng_package` in Ivy.
The `package.json` files are populated incorrectly with Ivy
as the flat module bundle name is not propagated from `ng_module`
to the `ng_package` rule. The rule then guesses the index file
to `index.js` and does not respect the flat module bundle shim.
PR Close#36944
In the past we added support for `ts_library` to `ng_package`. For those
targets we never can determine the "index" file. Unlike `ng_module`,
there is no provider data for flat module bundles, so the `ng_package`
rule assumes that the index file is simply called `index`.
This works as expected, but we also added logic in the past that doesn't
allow `ng_package` to add format properties (e.g. `main`, `module`) to a
`package.json` if a package json is handwritten for such a `ts_library` target.
This has been done that way because we assumed that such `package.json` files
might want to set format properties explicitly to different paths due to a
faulty "index" guess.
We want to change this behavior as most of the time a `package.json`
file already exists with just the module name. In those cases, the
packager should still set the format properties. We should only warn
and skip automatic insertion of the format properties if such a
`package.json` explicitly sets format properties.

esm5 and fesm5 are no longer needed and have been deprecated in the past.

This commit modifies ng_package to no longer distribute these two formats in npm packages
built by ng_package (e.g. @angular/core).
This commit intentionally doesn't fully clean up the ng_package rule to remove all traces of esm5 and fems5

to the MVP needed for v10, which in this case is 'do not put esm5 and fesm5' into the npm packages.

Angular CLI will automatically downlevel the code to es5 if differential
loading is enabled in the Angular project, so no action is required from

Currently, when Angular code is built with Bazel and with Ivy, generated
factory shims (.ngfactory files) are not processed via the majority of
tsickle's transforms. This is a subtle effect of the build infrastructure,
but it boils down to a TsickleHost method `shouldSkipTsickleProcessing`.
For ngc_wrapped builds (Bazel + Angular), this method is defined in the
`@bazel/typescript` (aka bazel rules_typescript) implementation of
`CompilerHost`. The default behavior is to skip tsickle processing for files
which are not present in the original `srcs[]` of the build rule. In
Angular's case, this includes all generated shim files.
For View Engine factories this is probably desirable as they're quite
complex and they've never been tested with tsickle. Ivy factories however
are smaller and very straightforward, and it makes sense to treat them like
any other output.
This commit adjusts two independent implementations of
`shouldSkipTsickleProcessing` to enable transformation of Ivy shims:
* in `@angular/bazel` aka ngc_wrapped, the upstream `@bazel/typescript`
`CompilerHost` is patched to treat .ngfactory files the same as their
original source file, with respect to tsickle processing.
It is currently not possible to test this change as we don't have any test
that inspects tsickle output with bazel. It will be extensively tested in
g3.
* in `ngc`, Angular's own implementation is adjusted to allow for the
processing of shims when compiling with Ivy. This enables a unit test to
be written to validate the correct behavior of tsickle when given a host
that's appropriately configured to process factory shims.
For ngtsc-as-a-plugin, a similar fix will need to be submitted upstream in
tsc_wrapped.

This has a couple benefits:
- we now use a .bazelversion file rather than package.json to pin the version of bazel we want. This means even if you install bazel on your computer rather than via yarn, you'll still get a warning if your bazel version is wrong.
- you no longer end up downloading three copies of bazel due to bugs in both npm and yarn where they download all tarballs before checking the metadata to see which are usable on the local platform.
- bazelisk correctly handles the tools/bazel trick for wrapping functionality, which we want to use to instrument developer build latencies

Currently, the `ng_module` rule incorrectly uses manifest paths for
generated imports from the Angular compiler.
This breaks packaging as prodmode output (i.e. `esnext`) is copied in
various targets (`es5` and `es2015`) to the npm package output.
e.g. imports are generated like:
_node_modules/my-pkg/es2015/imports/public-api.js_
```ts
import * as i1 from "angular/packages/bazel/test/ng_package/example/imports/second";
```
while it should be actually:
```ts
import * as i1 from "./second";

Switches our tslint setup to the standard `tslint.json` linter excludes.
The set of files that need to be linted is specified through a Yarn script.
For IDEs, open files are linted with the closest tslint configuration, if the
tslint IDE extension is set up, and the source file is not excluded.
We cannot use the language service plugin for tslint as we have multiple nested
tsconfig files, and we don't want to add the plugin to each tsconfig. We
could reduce that bloat by just extending from a top-level tsconfig that
defines the language service plugin, but unfortunately the tslint plugin does
not allow the use of tslint configs which are not part of the tsconfig project.
This is problematic since the tslint configuration is at the project root, and we
don't want to copy tslint configurations next to each tsconfig file.

disabled in the past and a TODO has been left. This commit fixes the

The `ng_package` rule currently creates incorrect UMD module exports
if an entry-point has a module name with numbers included.
For example, consider an entry-point called `@angular/cdk/a11y`. The UMD
module name should be `ng.cdk.a11y`. Instead, `ng_package` currently generates
an UMD module export called `ng.cdk.a11Y`.
This is because the logic for converting dash-case to camel case is
invalid as it uses Starlark's `title()` method. The title method
converts text to title case while we actually just want to capitalize
the first letter of a dash-case segment.
