DEPRECATION:
platform-webworker has been around since the initial release of Angular
version 2. It began as an experiment to leverage Angular's rendering
architecture and try something different: to run an entire web application
in a web worker.
We've learned a lot from this experiment, and have come to the conclusion
that pushing entire applications to run in a web worker is not a recipe for
success for most applications. This is due to a number of unresolved issues,
including:
* Poor or non-existent support for web worker APIs in web crawlers/indexers.
* Poor support in build and bundling tooling.
As a result, as of Angular version 8, we are deprecating the
`platform-webworker` APIs in Angular. This consists of both NPM packages,
`@angular/platform-webworker` and `@angular/platform-webworker-dynamic`.
Going forward, we will focus our efforts related to web workers around their
primary use case of offloading CPU-intensive but not critical work.

DEPRECATION:
Angular previously has supported an integration with the Web Tracing
Framework (WTF) for performance testing of Angular applications. This
integration has not been maintained and likely does not work for the
majority of Angular applications today. As a result, we are deprecating
the integration in Angular version 8.
This deprecation covers the following public APIs:
* `WtfScopeFn`
* `wtfCreateScope`
* `wtfStartTimeRange`
* `wtfEndTimeRange`
* `wtfLeave`

PR #29290 introduced a new `TestBed.get` signature and deprecated the existing one.
This raises a lot of TSLint deprecation warnings in projects using a strict TS config (see #29905 for context), so we are temporarily removing the `@deprecated` annotation in favor of a plain text warning until we properly fix it.

BREAKING CHANGE
In PR #19558, we fixed a bug in `TestBed.overrideProvider` where
eager providers were not being instantiated correctly. However,
it turned out that since this bug had been around for quite a bit,
many apps were relying on the broken behavior where the providers
would not be instantiated. To assist in the transition, the
`TestBed.deprecatedOverrideProvider` method was temporarily
introduced to mimic the old behavior so that apps would have a
longer time period to migrate their code.
2 years and 3 versions later, it is time to remove the temporary
method. This commit removes `TestBed.deprecatedOverrideProvider`
altogether. Any usages of `TestBed.deprecatedOverrideProvider`
should be replaced with `TestBed.overrideProvider`. This may mean
that providers that were not created before will now be instantiated,
which could mean that your tests need to provide more mocks or stubs
for the dependencies of the newly instantiated providers.

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.

Adds overloads to the `transform` methods of `SlicePipe`,
to have better types than `any` for `value` and `any` as a return.
With this commit, using `slice` in an `ngFor` still allow to type-check the content of the `ngFor`
with `fullTemplateTypeCheck` enabled in Ivy:
<div *ngFor="let user of users | slice:0:2">{{ user.typo }}</div>
|
`typo` does not exist on type `UserModel`
whereas it is currently not catched (as the return of `slice` is `any`) neither in VE nor in Ivy.
BREAKING CHANGE
`SlicePipe` now only accepts an array of values, a string, null or undefined.
This was already the case in practice, and it still throws at runtime if another type is given.
But it is now a compilation error to try to call it with an unsupported type.

A structural directive can specify a template guard for an input, such that
the type of that input's binding can be narrowed based on the guard's return
type. Previously, such template guards could only be methods, of which an
invocation would be inserted into the type-check block (TCB). For `NgIf`,
the template guard narrowed the type of its expression to be `NonNullable`
using the following declaration:
```typescript
export declare class NgIf {
static ngTemplateGuard_ngIf<E>(dir: NgIf, expr: E): expr is NonNullable<E>
}
```
This works fine for usages such as `*ngIf="person"` but starts to introduce
false-positives when e.g. an explicit non-null check like
`*ngIf="person !== null"` is used, as the method invocation in the TCB
would not have the desired effect of narrowing `person` to become
non-nullable:
```typescript
if (NgIf.ngTemplateGuard_ngIf(directive, ctx.person !== null)) {
// Usages of `ctx.person` within this block would
// not have been narrowed to be non-nullable.
}
```
This commit introduces a new strategy for template guards to allow for the
binding expression itself to be used as template guard in the TCB. Now,
the TCB generated for `*ngIf="person !== null"` would look as follows:
```typescript
if (ctx.person !== null) {
// This time `ctx.person` will successfully have
// been narrowed to be non-nullable.
}
```
This strategy can be activated by declaring the template guard as a
property declaration with `'binding'` as literal return type.
See #30235 for an example where this led to a false positive.

This is the final patch to migrate the Angular styling code to have a
smaller instruction set in preparation for the runtime refactor. All
styling-related instructions now work both in template and hostBindings
functions and do not use `element` as a prefix for their names:
BEFORE:
elementStyling()
elementStyleProp()
elementClassProp()
elementStyleMap()
elementClassMap()
elementStylingApply()
AFTER:
styling()
styleProp()
classProp()
styleMap()
classMap()
stylingApply()
PR Close#30318
This patch removes all host-specific styling instructions in favor of
using element-level instructions instead. Because of the previous
patches that made sure `select(n)` worked between styling calls, all
host level instructions are not needed anymore. This patch changes each
of those instruction calls to use any of the `elementStyling*`,
`elementStyle*` and `elementClass*` styling instructions instead.
PR Close#30336
This patch is one commit of many patches that will unify all styling instructions
across both template-level bindings and host-level bindings. This patch in particular
removes the `elementIndex` param because it is already set prior to each styling
instruction via the `select(n)` instruction.

the complexity of the styling algorithm code for `[style]` and `[class]`
bindings.

Previously, the ServiceWorker registration options should be defined as
an object literal (in order for them to be compatible with Ahead-of-Time
compilation), thus making it impossible to base the ServiceWorker
behavior on runtime conditions.
This commit allows specifying the registration options using a regular
provider, which means that it can take advantage of the `useFactory`
option to determine the config at runtime, while still remaining
compatible with AoT compilation.

The proposed ES dynamic import() is now supported by the Angular CLI and the
larger toolchain. This renders the `loadChildren: string` API largely
redundant, as import() is far more natural, is less error-prone, and is
standards compliant. This commit deprecates the `string` form of
`loadChildren` in favor of dynamic import().
DEPRECATION:
When defining lazy-loaded route, Angular previously offered two options for
configuring the module to be loaded, both via the `loadChildren` parameter
of the route. Most Angular developers are familiar withthe `string` form of
this API. For example, the following route definition configures Angular to
load a `LazyModule` NgModule from `lazy-route/lazy.module.ts`:
```
[{
path: 'lazy',
loadChildren: 'lazy-route/lazy.module#LazyModule',
}]
```
This "magic string" configuration was previously necessary as there was
no dynamic module loading standard on the web. This has changed with the
pending standardization of dynamic `import()` expressions, which are now
supported in the Angular CLI and in web tooling in general. `import()`
offers a more natural and robust solution to dynamic module loading. The
above example can be rewritten to use dynamic `import()`:
```
[{
path: 'lazy',
loadChildren: () => import('./lazy-route/lazy.module').then(mod => mod.LazyModule),
}]
```
This form of lazy loading offers significant advantages in terms of:
* type checking via TypeScript
* simplicity of generated code
* future potential to run natively in supporting browsers
(see: [caniuse: dynamic import()](https://caniuse.com/#feat=es6-module-dynamic-import))
As a result, Angular is deprecating the `loadChildren: string` syntax in
favor of ES dynamic `import()`. An automatic migration will run during
`ng upgrade` to convert your existing Angular code to the new syntax.
PR Close#30073
This commit provides a replacement for `$location`. The new service is written in Angular, and can be consumed into existing applications by using the downgraded version
of the provider.
Prior to this addition, applications upgrading from AngularJS to Angular could get into a situation where AngularJS wanted to control the URL, and would often parse or se
rialize the URL in a different way than Angular. Additionally, AngularJS was alerted to URL changes only through the `$digest` cycle. This provided a buggy feedback loop
from Angular to AngularJS.
With this new `LocationUpgradeProvider`, the `$location` methods and events are provided in Angular, and use Angular APIs to make updates to the URL. Additionally, change
s to the URL made by other parts of the Angular framework (such as the Router) will be listened for and will cause events to fire in AngularJS, but will no longer attempt
to update the URL (since it was already updated by the Angular framework).
This centralizes URL reads and writes to Angular and should help provide an easier path to upgrading AngularJS applications to Angular.
PR Close#30055
Without this change, the framework doesn't surface URL parts such as hostname, protocol, and port. This makes it difficult to rebuild a complete URL. This change provides new APIs to read these values.

Previously there wasn't a way to retrieve `history.state` from the `Location` service. The only time the framework exposed this value was in navigation events. This meant if you weren't using the Angular router, there wasn't a way to get access to this `history.state` value other than going directly to the DOM.
This PR adds an API to retrieve the value of `history.state`. This will be useful and needed to provide a backwards-compatible `Location` service that can emulate AngularJS's `$location` service since we will need to be able to read the state data in order to produce AngularJS location transition events.
This feature will additionally be useful to any application that wants to access state data through Angular rather than going directly to the DOM APIs.

With dts bundles, `core.d.ts` will include an `EventListener` class as it's used in 303eae918d/packages/core/src/debug/debug_node.ts (L32)
This will conflict with the DOM EventListener, as anything in `core.d.ts` which is using the DOM EventListener will fallback in using the one defined in the same module and hence build will fail because their implementation is different.
With this change, we rename the local `EventListener` to `DebugEventListener`, the later one is non exported.

Plural ICU expressions depend on the locale (different languages have different plural forms). Until now the locale was hard coded as `en-US`.
For compatibility reasons, if you use ivy with AOT and bootstrap your app with `bootstrapModule` then the `LOCALE_ID` token will be set automatically for ivy, which is then used to get the correct plural form.
If you use JIT, you need to define the `LOCALE_ID` provider on the module that you bootstrap.
For `TestBed` you can use either `configureTestingModule` or `overrideProvider` to define that provider.
If you don't use the compat mode and start your app with `renderComponent` you need to call `ɵsetLocaleId` manually to define the `LOCALE_ID` before bootstrap. We expect this to change once we start adding the new i18n APIs, so don't rely on this function (there's a reason why it's a private export).

So far using runtime i18n with ivy meant that you needed to use Closure and `goog.getMsg` (or a polyfill). This PR changes the compiler to output both closure & non-closure code, while the unused option will be tree-shaken by minifiers.
This means that if you use the Angular CLI with ivy and load a translations file, you can use i18n and the application will not throw at runtime.
For now it will not translate your application, but at least you can try ivy without having to remove all of your i18n code and configuration.

Currently in Ivy we pass both the raw and parsed selectors to the projectionDef instruction, because the parsed selectors are used to match most nodes, whereas the raw ones are used to match against nodes with the ngProjectAs attribute. The raw selectors add a fair bit of code that won't be used in most cases, because ngProjectAs is somewhat rare.
These changes rework the compiler not to output the raw selectors in the projectionDef, but to parse the selector in ngProjectAs and to store it on the TAttributes. The logic for matching has also been changed so that it matches the pre-parsed ngProjectAs selector against the list of projection selectors.
