ngtsc will avoid emitting generated imports that would create an import
cycle in the user's program. The main way such imports can arise is when
a component would ordinarily reference its dependencies in its component
definition `directiveDefs` and `pipeDefs`. This requires adding imports,
which run the risk of creating a cycle.
When ngtsc detects that adding such an import would cause this to occur, it
instead falls back on a strategy called "remote scoping", where a side-
effectful call to `setComponentScope` in the component's NgModule file is
used to patch `directiveDefs` and `pipeDefs` onto the component. Since the
NgModule file already imports all of the component's dependencies (to
declare them in the NgModule), this approach does not risk adding a cycle.
It has several large downsides, however:
1. it breaks under `sideEffects: false` logic in bundlers including the CLI
2. it breaks tree-shaking for the given component and its dependencies
See this doc for further details: https://hackmd.io/Odw80D0pR6yfsOjg_7XCJg?view
In particular, the impact on tree-shaking was exacerbated by the naive logic
ngtsc used to employ here. When this feature was implemented, at the time of
generating the side-effectful `setComponentScope` call, the compiler did not
know which of the component's declared dependencies were actually used in
its template. This meant that unlike the generation of `directiveDefs` in
the component definition itself, `setComponentScope` calls had to list the
_entire_ compilation scope of the component's NgModule, including directives
and pipes which were not actually used in the template. This made the tree-
shaking impact much worse, since if the component's NgModule made use of any
shared NgModules (e.g. `CommonModule`), every declaration therein would
become un-treeshakable.
Today, ngtsc does have the information on which directives/pipes are
actually used in the template, but this was not being used during the remote
scoping operation. This commit modifies remote scoping to take advantage of
the extra context and only list used dependencies in `setComponentScope`
calls, which should ameliorate the tree-shaking impact somewhat.

In Ivy, template type-checking has 3 modes: basic, full, and strict. The
primary difference between basic and full modes is that basic mode only
checks the top-level template, whereas full mode descends into nested
templates (embedded views like ngIfs and ngFors). Ivy applies this approach
to all of its template type-checking, including the DOM schema checks which
validate whether an element is a valid component/directive or not.
View Engine has both the basic and the full mode, with the same distinction.
However in View Engine, DOM schema checks happen for the full template even
in the basic mode.
Ivy's behavior here is technically a "fix" as it does not make sense for
some checks to apply to the full template and others only to the top-level
view. However, since g3 relies exclusively on the basic mode of checking and
developers there are used to DOM checks applying throughout their template,
this commit re-enables the nested schema checks even in basic mode only in
g3. This is done by enabling the checks only when Closure Compiler
annotations are requested.
Outside of g3, it's recommended that applications use at least the full mode
of checking (controlled by the `fullTemplateTypeCheck` flag), and ideally
the strict mode (`strictTemplates`).

The type-to-value conversion could previously crash if a symbol was
resolved that does not have any declarations, e.g. because it's imported
from a missing module. This would typically result in a semantic
TypeScript diagnostic and halt further compilation, therefore not
reaching the type-to-value conversion logic. In Bazel however, it turns
out that Angular semantic diagnostics are requested even if there are
semantic TypeScript errors in the program, so it would then reach the
type-to-value conversation and crash.
This commit fixes the unsafe access and adds a test that ignores the
TypeScript semantic error, effectively replicating the situation as
experienced under Bazel.

Previously, the compiler was not able to display template parsing errors as
true `ts.Diagnostic`s that point inside the template. Instead, it would
throw an actual `Error`, and "crash" with a stack trace containing the
template errors.
Not only is this a poor user experience, but it causes the Language Service
to also crash as the user is editing a template (in actuality the LS has to
work around this bug).
With this commit, such parsing errors are converted to true template

along with all other diagnostics. This majorly improves the user experience

"crashing" to report errors.

the value expression for its parameter types, generating actual imports as
necessary. For type-only imports this should not be done, as it introduces an

Roll forward of #38147.
This allows Closure compiler to tree shake unused constructor calls to `NgModuleFactory`, which is otherwise considered
side-effectful. The Angular compiler generates factory objects which are exported but typically not used, as they are
only needed for compatibility with View Engine. This results in top-level constructor calls, such as:
```typescript
export const FooNgFactory = new NgModuleFactory(Foo);
```
`NgModuleFactory` has a side-effecting constructor, so this statement cannot be tree shaken, even if `FooNgFactory` is
never imported. The `NgModuleFactory` continues to reference its associated `NgModule` and prevents the module and all
its unused dependencies from being tree shaken, making Closure builds significantly larger than necessary.
The fix here is to wrap `NgModuleFactory` constructor with `noSideEffects(() => /* ... */)`, which tricks the Closure
compiler into assuming that the invoked function has no side effects. This allows it to tree-shake unused
`NgModuleFactory()` constructors when they aren't imported. Since the factory can be removed, the module can also be
removed (if nothing else references it), thus tree shaking unused dependencies as expected.
The one notable edge case is for lazy loaded modules. Internally, lazy loading is done as a side effect when the lazy
script is evaluated. For Angular, this side effect is registering the `NgModule`. In Ivy this is done by the
`NgModuleFactory` constructor, so lazy loaded modules **cannot** have their top-level `NgModuleFactory` constructor
call tree shaken. We handle this case by looking for the `id` field on `@NgModule` annotations. All lazy loaded modules
include an `id`. When this `id` is found, the `NgModuleFactory` is generated **without** with `noSideEffects()` call,
so Closure will not tree shake it and the module will lazy-load correctly.

Large strings constants are now wrapped in a function which is called whenever used. This works around a unique
limitation of Closure, where it will **always** inline string literals at **every** usage, regardless of how large the
string literal is or how many times it is used.The workaround is to use a function rather than a string literal.
Closure has differently inlining semantics for functions, where it will check the length of the function and the number
of times it is used before choosing to inline it. By using a function, `ngtsc` makes Closure more conservative about
inlining large strings, and avoids blowing up the bundle size.This optimization is only used if the constant is a large
string. A wrapping function is not included for other use cases, since it would just increase the bundle size and add
unnecessary runtime performance overhead.

During AOT compilation, the value of some expressions need to be known at
compile time. The compiler has the ability to statically evaluate expressions
the best it can, but there can be occurrences when an expression cannot be
evaluated statically. For instance, the evaluation could depend on a dynamic
value or syntax is used that the compiler does not understand. Alternatively,
it is possible that an expression could be statically evaluated but the
resulting value would be of an incorrect type.
In these situations, it would be helpful if the compiler could explain why it
is unable to evaluate an expression. To this extend, the static interpreter
in Ivy keeps track of a trail of `DynamicValue`s which follow the path of nodes
that were considered all the way to the node that causes an expression to be
considered dynamic. Up until this commit, this rich trail of information was
not surfaced to a developer so the compiler was of little help to explain
why static evaluation failed, resulting in situations that are hard to debug
and resolve.
This commit adds much more insight to the diagnostic that is produced for static
evaluation errors. For dynamic values, the trail of `DynamicValue` instances
is presented to the user in a meaningful way. If a value is available but not
of the correct type, the type of the resolved value is shown.

When the compiler encounters a function call within an NgModule imports
section, it attempts to resolve it to an NgModule-annotated class by
looking at the function body and evaluating the statements there. This
evaluation can only understand simple functions which have a single
return statement as their body. If the function the user writes is more
complex than that, the compiler won't be able to understand it and
previously the PartialEvaluator would return a "DynamicValue" for
that import.
With this change, in the event the function body resolution fails the
PartialEvaluator will now attempt to use its foreign function resolvers to
determine the correct result from the function's type signtaure instead. If
the function is annotated with a correct ModuleWithProviders type, the
compiler will be able to understand the import without static analysis of
the function body.

As a performance optimization, this commit splits the single
__ngtypecheck__.ts file which was previously added to the user's program as
a container for all template type-checking code into multiple .ngtypecheck
shim files, one for each original file in the user's program.
In larger applications, the generation, parsing, and checking of this single
type-checking file was a huge performance bottleneck, with the file often
exceeding 1 MB in text content. Particularly in incremental builds,
regenerating this single file for the entire application proved especially
expensive.
This commit introduces a new strategy for template type-checking code which
makes use of a new interface, the `TypeCheckingProgramStrategy`. This
interface abstracts the process of creating a new `ts.Program` to type-check
a particular compilation, and allows the mechanism there to be kept separate
from the more complex logic around dealing with multiple .ngtypecheck files.
A new `TemplateTypeChecker` hosts that logic and interacts with the
`TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` to actually generate and return diagnostics.
The `TypeCheckContext` class, previously the workhorse of template type-
checking, is now solely focused on collecting and generating type-checking
file contents.
A side effect of implementing the new `TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` in this
way is that the API is designed to be suitable for use by the Angular
Language Service as well. The LS also needs to type-check components, but
has its own method for constructing a `ts.Program` with type-checking code.
Note that this commit does not make the actual checking of templates at all
_incremental_ just yet. That will happen in a future commit.

Shim generation was built on a lie.
Shims are files added to the program which aren't original files authored by
the user, but files authored effectively by the compiler. These fall into
two categories: files which will be generated (like the .ngfactory shims we
generate for View Engine compatibility) as well as files used internally in
compilation (like the __ng_typecheck__.ts file).
Previously, shim generation was driven by the `rootFiles` passed to the
compiler as input. These are effectively the `files` listed in the
`tsconfig.json`. Each shim generator (e.g. the `FactoryGenerator`) would
examine the `rootFiles` and produce a list of shim file names which it would
be responsible for generating. These names would then be added to the
`rootFiles` when the program was created.
The fatal flaw here is that `rootFiles` does not always account for all of
the files in the program. In fact, it's quite rare that it does. Users don't
typically specify every file directly in `files`. Instead, they rely on
TypeScript, during program creation, starting with a few root files and
transitively discovering all of the files in the program.
This happens, however, during `ts.createProgram`, which is too late to add
new files to the `rootFiles` list.
As a result, shim generation was only including shims for files actually
listed in the `tsconfig.json` file, and not for the transitive set of files
in the user's program as it should.
This commit completely rewrites shim generation to use a different technique
for adding files to the program, inspired by View Engine's shim generator.
In this new technique, as the program is being created and `ts.SourceFile`s
are being requested from the `NgCompilerHost`, shims for those files are
generated and a reference to them is patched onto the original file's
`ts.SourceFile.referencedFiles`. This causes TS to think that the original
file references the shim, and causes the shim to be included in the program.
The original `referencedFiles` array is saved and restored after program
creation, hiding this little hack from the rest of the system.
The new shim generation engine differentiates between two kinds of shims:
top-level shims (such as the flat module entrypoint file and
__ng_typecheck__.ts) and per-file shims such as ngfactory or ngsummary
files. The former are included via `rootFiles` as before, the latter are
included via the `referencedFiles` of their corresponding original files.
As a result of this change, shims are now correctly generated for all files
in the program, not just the ones named in `tsconfig.json`.
A few mitigating factors prevented this bug from being realized until now:
* in g3, `files` does include the transitive closure of files in the program
* in CLI apps, shims are not really used
This change also makes use of a novel technique for associating information
with source files: the use of an `NgExtension` `Symbol` to patch the
information directly onto the AST object. This is used in several
circumstances:
* For shims, metadata about a `ts.SourceFile`'s status as a shim and its
origins are held in the extension data.
* For original files, the original `referencedFiles` are stashed in the
extension data for later restoration.
The main benefit of this technique is a lot less bookkeeping around `Map`s
of `ts.SourceFile`s to various kinds of data, which need to be tracked/
invalidated as part of incremental builds.
This technique is based on designs used internally in the TypeScript
compiler and is serving as a prototype of this design in ngtsc. If it works
well, it could have benefits across the rest of the compiler.

When the compiler needs to convert a type reference to a value
expression, it may encounter a type that refers to a namespaced symbol.
Such namespaces need to be handled specially as there's various forms
available. Consider a namespace named "ns":
1. One can refer to a namespace by itself: `ns`. A namespace is only
allowed to be used in a type position if it has been merged with a
class, but even if this is the case it may not be possible to convert
that type into a value expression depending on the import form. More
on this later (case a below)
2. One can refer to a type within the namespace: `ns.Foo`. An import
needs to be generated to `ns`, from which the `Foo` property can then
be read.
3. One can refer to a type in a nested namespace within `ns`:
`ns.Foo.Bar` and possibly even deeper nested. The value
representation is similar to case 2, but includes additional property
accesses.
The exact strategy of how to deal with these cases depends on the type
of import used. There's two flavors available:
a. A namespaced import like `import * as ns from 'ns';` that creates
a local namespace that is irrelevant to the import that needs to be
generated (as said import would be used instead of the original
import).
If the local namespace "ns" itself is referred to in a type position,
it is invalid to convert it into a value expression. Some JavaScript
libraries publish a value as default export using `export = MyClass;`
syntax, however it is illegal to refer to that value using "ns".
Consequently, such usage in a type position *must* be accompanied by
an `@Inject` decorator to provide an explicit token.
b. An explicit namespace declaration within a module, that can be
imported using a named import like `import {ns} from 'ns';` where the
"ns" module declares a namespace using `declare namespace ns {}`.
In this case, it's the namespace itself that needs to be imported,
after which any qualified references into the namespace are converted
into property accesses.
Before this change, support for namespaces in the type-to-value
conversion was limited and only worked correctly for a single qualified
name using a namespace import (case 2a). All other cases were either
producing incorrect code or would crash the compiler (case 1a).
Crashing the compiler is not desirable as it does not indicate where
the issue is. Moreover, the result of a type-to-value conversion is
irrelevant when an explicit injection token is provided using `@Inject`,
so referring to a namespace in a type position (case 1) could still be
valid.
This commit introduces logic to the type-to-value conversion to be able
to properly deal with all type references to namespaced symbols.

classes to contain information about the parameter decorators used in
the constructor. If no constructor is present, or none of the parameters
have any Angular decorators, then this will be represented using the
`null` type. Otherwise, a tuple type is used where the entry at index `i`
corresponds with parameter `i`. Each tuple entry can be one of two types:
1. If the associated parameter does not have any Angular decorators,
the tuple entry will be the `null` type.
2. Otherwise, a type literal is used that may declare at least one of
the following properties:
- "attribute": if `@Attribute` is present. The injected attribute's
name is used as string literal type, or the `unknown` type if the
attribute name is not a string literal.
- "self": if `@Self` is present, always of type `true`.
- "skipSelf": if `@SkipSelf` is present, always of type `true`.
- "host": if `@Host` is present, always of type `true`.
- "optional": if `@Optional` is present, always of type `true`.
A property is only present if the corresponding decorator is used.
Note that the `@Inject` decorator is currently not included, as it's
non-trivial to properly convert the token's value expression to a
type that is valid in a declaration file.
Additionally, the `ComponentDefWithMeta` declaration that is created for
Angular components has been extended to include all selectors on
`ng-content` elements within the component's template.
This additional metadata is useful for tooling such as the Angular
Language Service, as it provides the ability to offer suggestions for
directives/components defined in libraries. At the moment, such
tooling extracts the necessary information from the _metadata.json_
manifest file as generated by ngc, however this metadata representation
is being replaced by the information emitted into the declaration files.

This change deletes old styling code and replaces it with a simplified styling algorithm.
The mental model for the new algorithm is:
- Create a linked list of styling bindings in the order of priority. All styling bindings ere executed in compiled order and than a linked list of bindings is created in priority order.
- Flush the style bindings at the end of `advance()` instruction. This implies that there are two flush events. One at the end of template `advance` instruction in the template. Second one at the end of `hostBindings` `advance` instruction when processing host bindings (if any).
- Each binding instructions effectively updates the string to represent the string at that location. Because most of the bindings are additive, this is a cheap strategy in most cases. In rare cases the strategy requires removing tokens from the styling up to this point. (We expect that to be rare case)S Because, the bindings are presorted in the order of priority, it is safe to resume the processing of the concatenated string from the last change binding.

This change moves information from instructions to declarative position:
- `ɵɵallocHostVars(vars)` => `DirectiveDef.hostVars`
- `ɵɵelementHostAttrs(attrs)` => `DirectiveDef.hostAttrs`
When merging directives it is necessary to know about `hostVars` and `hostAttrs`. Before this change the information was stored in the `hostBindings` function. This was problematic, because in order to get to the information the `hostBindings` would have to be executed. In order for `hostBindings` to be executed the directives would have to be instantiated. This means that the directive instantiation would happen before we had knowledge about the `hostAttrs` and as a result the directive could observe in the constructor that not all of the `hostAttrs` have been applied. This further complicates the runtime as we have to apply `hostAttrs` in parts over many invocations.
`ɵɵallocHostVars` was unnecessarily complicated because it would have to update the `LView` (and Blueprint) while existing directives are already executing. By moving it out of `hostBindings` function we can access it statically and we can create correct `LView` (and Blueprint) in a single pass.
This change only changes how the instructions are generated, but does not change the runtime much. (We cheat by emulating the old behavior by calling `ɵɵallocHostVars` and `ɵɵelementHostAttrs`) Subsequent change will refactor the runtime to take advantage of the static information.

Pipes in host binding expressions are not supported in View Engine and Ivy, but in some more complex cases (like `(value | pipe) === true`) compiler was not reporting errors. This commit extends Ivy logic to detect pipes in host binding expressions and throw in cases bindings are present. View Engine behavior remains the same.

Currently ngtsc looks for the first `ConstructorDeclaration` when figuring out what the parameters are so that it can generate the DI instructions. The problem is that if a constructor has overloads, it'll have several `ConstructorDeclaration` members with a different number of parameters. These changes tweak the logic so it looks for the constructor implementation.

The compiler has a translation mechanism to convert from an Angular
`Type` to a `ts.TypeNode`, as appropriate. Prior to this change, it
would translate certain Angular expressions into their value equivalent
in TypeScript, instead of the correct type equivalent. This was possible
as the `ExpressionVisitor` interface is not strictly typed, with `any`s
being used for return values.
For example, a literal object was translated into a
`ts.ObjectLiteralExpression`, containing `ts.PropertyAssignment` nodes
as its entries. This has worked without issues as their printed
representation is identical, however it was incorrect from a semantic
point of view. Instead, a `ts.TypeLiteralNode` is created with
`ts.PropertySignature` as its members, which corresponds with the type
declaration of an object literal.

Angular View Engine uses global knowledge to compile the following code:
```typescript
export class Base {
constructor(private vcr: ViewContainerRef) {}
}
@Directive({...})
export class Dir extends Base {
// constructor inherited from base
}
```
Here, `Dir` extends `Base` and inherits its constructor. To create a `Dir`
the arguments to this inherited constructor must be obtained via dependency
injection. View Engine is able to generate a correct factory for `Dir` to do
this because via metadata it knows the arguments of `Base`'s constructor,
even if `Base` is declared in a different library.
In Ivy, DI is entirely a runtime concept. Currently `Dir` is compiled with
an ngDirectiveDef field that delegates its factory to `getInheritedFactory`.
This looks for some kind of factory function on `Base`, which comes up
empty. This case looks identical to an inheritance chain with no
constructors, which works today in Ivy.
Both of these cases will now become an error in this commit. If a decorated
class inherits from an undecorated base class, a diagnostic is produced
informing the user of the need to either explicitly declare a constructor or
to decorate the base class.

Adds a compilation error if the consumer tries to pass in an undecorated class into the `providers` of an `NgModule`, or the `providers`/`viewProviders` arrays of a `Directive`/`Component`.

Now that `@angular/localize` can interpret multiple legacy message ids in the
metablock of a `$localize` tagged template string, this commit adds those
ids to each i18n message extracted from component templates, but only if
the `enableI18nLegacyMessageIdFormat` is not `false`.

Prior to this commit, the unknown element can happen twice for AOT-compiled components: once during compilation and once again at runtime. Due to the fact that `schemas` information is not present on Component and NgModule defs after AOT compilation, the second check (at runtime) may fail, even though the same check was successful at compile time. This commit updates the code to avoid the second check for AOT-compiled components by checking whether `schemas` information is present in a logic that executes the unknown element check.

Prior to this commit, all styles extracted from Component's template (defined using <style> tags) were ignored by JIT compiler, so only `styles` array values defined in @Component decorator were used. This change updates JIT compiler to take styles extracted from the template into account. It also ensures correct order where `styles` array values are applied first and template styles are applied second.

In ViewEngine we were only generating code for exported classes, however with Ivy we do it no matter whether the class has been exported or not. These changes add an extra flag that allows consumers to opt into the ViewEngine behavior. The flag works by treating non-exported classes as if they're set to `jit: true`.
Fixes#33724.

Due to the fact that Tsickle runs between analyze and transform phases in Angular, Tsickle may transform nodes (add comments with type annotations for Closure) that we captured during the analyze phase. As a result, some patterns where a function is returned from another function may trigger automatic semicolon insertion, which breaks the code (makes functions return `undefined` instead of a function). In order to avoid the problem, this commit updates the code to wrap all functions in some expression ("privders" and "viewProviders") in parentheses. More info can be found in Tsickle source code here: d797426257/src/jsdoc_transformer.ts (L1021)

This commit transforms the setClassMetadata calls generated by ngtsc from:
```typescript
/*@__PURE__*/ setClassMetadata(...);
```
to:
```typescript
/*@__PURE__*/ (function() {
setClassMetadata(...);
})();
```
Without the IIFE, terser won't remove these function calls because the
function calls have arguments that themselves are function calls or other
impure expressions. In order to make the whole block be DCE-ed by terser,
we wrap it into IIFE and mark the IIFE as pure.
It should be noted that this change doesn't have any impact on CLI* with
build-optimizer, which removes the whole setClassMetadata block within
the webpack loader, so terser or webpack itself don't get to see it at
all. This is done to prevent cross-chunk retention issues caused by
webpack's internal module registry.
* actually we do expect a short-term size regression while
https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/16228
is merged and released in the next rc of the CLI. But long term this
change does nothing to CLI + build-optimizer configuration and is done
primarly to correct the seemingly correct but non-function PURE annotation
that builds not using build-optimizer could rely on.
