Currently Ivy always generates the `$event` function argument, even if it isn't being used by the listener expressions. This can lead to unnecessary bytes being generated, because optimizers won't remove unused arguments by default. These changes add some logic to avoid adding the argument when it isn't required.
PR Close#35097
We had some logic for generating and passing in the `elIndex` parameter into the `hostBindings` function, but it wasn't actually being used for anything. The only place left that had a reference to it was the `StylingBuilder` and it only stored it without referencing it again.
PR Close#34969
NOTE: This change must be reverted with previous deletes so that it code remains in build-able state.
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.

Directive defs are not considered public API, so the property
that contains them should be prefixed with Angular's marker
for "private" ('ɵ') to discourage apps from relying on def
APIs directly.
This commit adds the prefix and shortens the name from
ngDirectiveDef to dir. This is because property names
cannot be minified by Uglify without turning on property
mangling (which most apps have turned off) and are thus
size-sensitive.
Note that the other "defs" (ngFactoryDef, etc) will be
prefixed and shortened in follow-up PRs, in an attempt to
limit how large and conflict-y this change is.

Currently Ivy stores the element attributes into an array above the component def and passes it into the relevant instructions, however the problem is that upon minification the array will get a unique name which won't compress very well. These changes move the attributes array into the component def and pass in the index into the instructions instead.
Before:
```
const _c0 = ['foo', 'bar'];
SomeComp.ngComponentDef = defineComponent({
template: function() {
element(0, 'div', _c0);
}
});
```
After:
```
SomeComp.ngComponentDef = defineComponent({
consts: [['foo', 'bar']],
template: function() {
element(0, 'div', 0);
}
});
```
A couple of cases that this PR doesn't handle:
* Template references are still in a separate array.
* i18n attributes are still in a separate array.
PR Close#32798
Replaces the `select` instruction with a new one called `advance`. Instead of the jumping to a specific index, the new instruction goes forward X amount of elements. The advantage of doing this is that it should generate code the compresses better.
PR Close#32516
Reworks the compiler to output the factories for directives, components and pipes under a new static field called `ngFactoryFn`, instead of the usual `factory` property in their respective defs. This should eventually allow us to inject any kind of decorated class (e.g. a pipe).
**Note:** these changes are the first part of the refactor and they don't include injectables. I decided to leave injectables for a follow-up PR, because there's some more cases we need to handle when it comes to their factories. Furthermore, directives, components and pipes make up most of the compiler output tests that need to be refactored and it'll make follow-up PRs easier to review if the tests are cleaned up now.
This is part of the larger refactor for FW-1468.

This commit is the final patch of the ivy styling algorithm refactor.
This patch swaps functionality from the old styling mechanism to the
new refactored code by changing the instruction code the compiler
generates and by pointing the runtime instruction code to the new
styling algorithm.
PR Close#30742
Fixes Ivy matching directives against attribute bindings (e.g. `[attr.some-directive]="foo"`). Works by excluding attribute bindings from the attributes array during compilation. This has the added benefit of generating less code.
**Note:** My initial approach to implementing this was to have a different marker for attribute bindings so that they can be ignored when matching directives, however as I was implementing it I realized that the attributes in that array were only used for directive matching (as far as I could tell). I decided to drop the attribute bindings completely, because it results in less generated code.
PR Close#31541
Currently we reuse the same instruction both for regular property bindings and property bindings on the `host`. The only difference between the two is that when it's on the host we shouldn't support inputs. We have an optional parameter called `nativeOnly` which is used to differentiate the two, however since `nativeOnly` is preceeded by another optional parameter (`sanitizer`), we have to generate two extra parameters for each host property bindings every time (e.g. `property('someProp', 'someValue', null, true)`).
These changes add a new instruction called `hostProperty` which avoids the need for the two parameters by removing `nativeOnly` which is always set and it allows us to omit `sanitizer` when it isn't being used.
These changes also remove the `nativeOnly` parameter from the `updateSyntheticHostBinding` instruction, because it's only generated for host elements which means that we can assume that its value will always be `true`.
PR Close#31550
Adds chaining to the `property`, `attribute` and `updateSyntheticHostBinding` instructions when they're used in a host binding.
This PR resolves FW-1404.
PR Close#31296
Currently each property binding generates an instruction like this:
```
property('prop1', ctx.value1);
property('prop2', ctx.value2);
```
The problem is that we're repeating the call to `property` for each of the properties. Since the `property` instruction returns itself, we can chain all of the calls which is more compact and it looks like this:
```
property('prop1', ctx.value1)('prop2', ctx.value2);
```
These changes implement the chaining behavior for regular property bindings and for synthetic ones, however interpolated ones are still handled like before, because they use a separate instruction.
This PR resolves FW-1389.

There is an encoding issue with using delta `Δ`, where the browser will attempt to detect the file encoding if the character set is not explicitly declared on a `<script/>` tag, and Chrome will find the `Δ` character and decide it is window-1252 encoding, which misinterprets the `Δ` character to be some other character that is not a valid JS identifier character
So back to the frog eyes we go.

This patch is the first of a few patches which separates the
styling logic between template bindings (e.g. <div [style])
from host bindings (e.g. @HostBinding('style')). This patch
in particular introduces a series of host-specific styling
instructions and changes the existing set of template styling
instructions not to accept directives. The underyling code (which
communicates with the styling algorithm) still works as it did
before.
This PR also separates the styling instruction code into a separate
file and moves over all other instructions into an dedicated
instructions directory.

Up until this point, all static attribute values (things like `title` and `id`)
defined within the `host` are of a Component/Directive definition were
generated into a `def.attributes` array and then processed at runtime.
This design decision does not lend itself well to tree-shaking and is
inconsistent with other static values such as styles and classes.
This fix ensures that all static attribute values (attributes, classes,
and styles) that exist within a host definition for components and
directives are all assigned via the `elementHostAttrs` instruction.
```
// before
defineDirective({
...
attributes: ['title', 'my title']
...
})
//now
defineDirective({
...
hostBindings: function() {
if (create) {
elementHostAttrs(..., ['title', 'my-title']);
}
...
}
...
})

This update aligns Ivy behavior with ViewEngine related to empty bindings (for example <div [someProp]></div>): empty bindings are ignored.
PR Close#28059
Previously in Ivy, host bindings did not work if they shared a public name
with an Input because they used the `elementProperty` instruction as is.
This instruction was originally built for inside component templates, so it
would either set a directive input OR a native property. This is the
correct behavior for inside a template, but for host bindings, we always
want the native properties to be set regardless of the presence of an Input.
This change adds an extra argument to `elementProperty` so we can tell it to
ignore directive inputs and only set native properties (if it is in the
context of a host binding).
