Currently, would-be binding attributes that are missing binding names
are not parsed as bindings, and fall through as regular attributes. In
some cases, this can lead to a runtime error; trying to assign `#` as a
DOM attribute in an element like in `<div #></div>` fails because `#` is
not a valid attribute name.
Attributes composed of binding prefixes but not defining a binding
should be considered invalid, as this almost certainly indicates an
unintentional elision of a binding by the developer. This commit
introduces error reporting for attributes with a binding name prefix but
no actual binding name.

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
Previously we would write to class/style as strings `element.className` and `element.style.cssText`. Turns out that approach is good for initial render but not good for updates. Updates using this approach are problematic because we have to check to see if there was an out of bound write to style and than perform reconciliation. This also requires the browser to bring up CSS parser which is expensive.
Another problem with old approach is that we had to queue the DOM writes and flush them twice. Once on element advance instruction and once in `hostBindings`. The double flushing is expensive but it also means that a directive can observe that styles are not yet written (they are written after directive executes.)
The new approach uses `element.classList.add/remove` and `element.style.setProperty/removeProperty` API for updates only (it continues to use `element.className` and `element.style.cssText` for initial render as it is cheaper.) The other change is that the styling changes are applied immediately (no queueing). This means that it is the instruction which computes priority. In some circumstances it may result in intermediate writes which are than overwritten with new value. (This should be rare)
Overall this change deletes most of the previous code and replaces it with new simplified implement. The simplification results in code savings.
PR Close#34804
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.

Compiler keeps track of number of slots (`vars`) which are needed for binding instructions. Normally each binding instructions allocates a single slot in the `LView` but styling instructions need to allocate two slots.
PR Close#34616
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.
PR Close#34683
This change introduces class/style reconciliation algorithm for DOM elements.
NOTE: The code is not yet hooked up, it will be used by future style algorithm.
Background:
Styling algorithm currently has [two paths](https://hackmd.io/@5zDGNGArSxiHhgvxRGrg-g/rycZk3N5S)
when computing how the style should be rendered.
1. A direct path which concatenates styling and uses `elemnent.className`/`element.style.cssText` and
2. A merge path which uses internal data structures and uses `element.classList.add/remove`/`element.style[property]`.
The situation is confusing and hard to follow/maintain. So a future PR will remove the merge-path and do everything with
direct-path. This however breaks when some other code adds class or style to the element without Angular's knowledge.
If this happens instead of switching from direct-path to merge-path algorithm, this change provides a different mental model
whereby we always do `direct-path` but the code which writes to the DOM detects the situation and reconciles the out of bound write.
The reconciliation process is as follows:
1. Detect that no one has modified `className`/`cssText` and if so just write directly (fast path).
2. If out of bounds write did occur, switch from writing using `className`/`cssText` to `element.classList.add/remove`/`element.style[property]`.
This does require that the write function computes the difference between the previous Angular expected state and current Angular state.
(This requires a parser. The advantage of having a parser is that we can support `style="width: {{exp}}px" kind of bindings.`)
Compute the diff and apply it in non destructive way using `element.classList.add/remove`/`element.style[property]`
Properties of approach:
- If no out of bounds style modification:
- Very fast code path: Just concatenate string in right order and write them to DOM.
- Class list order is preserved
- If out of bounds style modification detected:
- Penalty for parsing
- Switch to non destructive modification: `element.classList.add/remove`/`element.style[property]`
- Switch to alphabetical way of setting classes.

Typescript 3.7 now emits d.ts files for getters differently than prior versions,
and there seems to be a bug in how it strips private types without replacing them
with explicit 'any' type. This then leads to compilation failures in projects compiled
against our packages that don't have skipLibCheck turned on but do have strict or
noImplicitAny check on.
I'm working around this by marking the affected getters as @internal and
adding a test to prevent future regressions.

The `getProjectAsAttrValue` in `node_selector_matcher` finds the
ProjectAs marker and then additionally checks that the marker appears in
an even index of the node attributes because "attribute names are stored
at even indexes". This is true for "regular" attribute bindings but
classes, styles, bindings, templates, and i18n do not necessarily follow
this rule because there can be an uneven number of them, causing the
next "special" attribute "name" to appear at an odd index. To address
this issue, ensure ngProjectAs is placed right after "regular"
attributes.

Prior to this commit, there were no `advance` instructions generated before `i18nExp` instructions and as a result, lifecycle hooks for components used inside i18n blocks were flushed too late. This commit adds the logic to generate `advance` instructions in front of `i18nExp` ones (similar to what we have in other places like interpolations, property bindings, etc), so that the necessary lifecycle hooks are flushed before expression value is captured.

In the past, only the starting index of an expression Token has been
recorded, so a parser could demarkate the span of a token only by the
start locations of two tokens. This may lead to trailing whitespace
being included in the token span:
```html
{{ token1 + token2 }}
^^^^^^^^^ recorded span of `token1`
```
It's also not enough for a parser to determine the end of a token by
adding the length of the token value to the token's start location,
because lexed expression values may not exactly reflect the source code.
For example, `"d\\"e"` is lexed as a string token whose value is `d"e`.
Instead, this commit adds a `end` field to expression tokens. `end`
is one past the last index of the token source code. This will enable a
parser to determine the span of a token just by looking at that token.
This is a breaking change because the contructor interface of `Token`
has changed.

Previously, the type checker would compute an absolute source span by
combining an expression AST node's `ParseSpan` (relative to the start of
the expression) together with the absolute offset of the expression as
represented in a `ParseSourceSpan`, to arrive at a span relative to the
start of the file. This information is now directly available on an
expression AST node in the `AST.sourceSpan` property, which can be used
instead.

The template parser has a certain interpolation config associated with
it and builds a regular expression each time it needs to extract the
interpolations from an input string. Since the interpolation config is
typically the default of `{{` and `}}`, the regular expression doesn't
have to be recreated each time. Therefore, this commit creates only a
single regular expression instance that is used for the default
configuration.
In a large compilation unit with big templates, computing the regular
expression took circa 275ms. This change reduces this to effectively
zero.

On a large compilation unit with big templates, the total time spent in
the `PlainCharacterCursor` constructor was 470ms. This commit applies
two optimizations to reduce this time:
1. Avoid the object spread operator within the constructor, as the
generated `__assign` helper in the emitted UMD bundle (ES5) does not
optimize well compared to a hardcoded object literal. This results in a
significant performance improvement. Because of the straight-forward
object literal, the VM is now much better able to optimize the memory
allocations which makes a significant difference as the
`PlainCharacterCursor` constructor is called in tight loops.
2. Reduce the number of `CharacterCursor` clones. Although cloning
itself is now much faster because of the optimization above, several
clone operations were not necessary.
Combined, these changes reduce the total time spent in the
`PlainCharacterCursor` constructor to just 10ms.

To create a binding parser, an instance of `ElementSchemaRegistry` is
required. Prior to this change, each time a new binding parser was
created a new instance of `DomElementSchemaRegistry` would be
instantiated. This is an expensive operation that takes roughly 1ms per
instantiation, so it is key that multiple allocations are avoided.
By sharing a single `DomElementSchemaRegistry`, we avoid two such
allocations, i.e. save ~2ms, per component template.

The `ModuleWithProviders` type has an optional type parameter that
should be specified to indicate what NgModule class will be provided.
This enables the Ivy compiler to statically determine the NgModule type
from the declaration files. This type parameter will become required in
the future, however to aid in the migration the compiler will detect
code patterns where using `ModuleWithProviders` as return type is
appropriate, in which case it transforms the emitted .d.ts files to
include the generic type argument.
This should reduce the number of occurrences where `ModuleWithProviders`
is referenced without its generic type argument.

Occasionally a factory function needs to be generated for an "invalid"
constructor (one with parameters types which aren't injectable). Typically
this happens in JIT mode where understanding of parameters cannot be done in
the same "up-front" way that the AOT compiler can.
This commit changes the JIT compiler to generate a new `invalidFactoryDep`
call for each invalid parameter. This instruction will error at runtime if
called, indicating both the index of the invalid parameter as well as (via
the stack trace) the factory function which was generated for the type being
constructed.

to:
```typescript

Without the IIFE, terser won't remove these function calls because the

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

primarly to correct the seemingly correct but non-function PURE annotation
that builds not using build-optimizer could rely on.

NgModules in Ivy have a definition which contains various different bits
of metadata about the module. In particular, this metadata falls into two
categories:
* metadata required to use the module at runtime (for bootstrapping, etc)
in AOT-only applications.
* metadata required to depend on the module from a JIT-compiled app.
The latter metadata consists of the module's declarations, imports, and
exports. To support JIT usage, this metadata must be included in the
generated code, especially if that code is shipped to NPM. However, because
this metadata preserves the entire NgModule graph (references to all
directives and components in the app), it needs to be removed during
optimization for AOT-only builds.
Previously, this was done with a clever design:
1. The extra metadata was added by a function called `setNgModuleScope`.
A call to this function was generated after each NgModule.
2. This function call was marked as "pure" with a comment and used
`noSideEffects` internally, which causes optimizers to remove it.
The effect was that in dev mode or test mode (which use JIT), no optimizer
runs and the full NgModule metadata was available at runtime. But in
production (presumably AOT) builds, the optimizer runs and removes the JIT-
specific metadata.
However, there are cases where apps that want to use JIT in production, and
still make an optimized build. In this case, the JIT-specific metadata would
be erroneously removed. This commit solves that problem by adding an
`ngJitMode` global variable which guards all `setNgModuleScope` calls. An
optimizer can be configured to statically define this global to be `false`
for AOT-only builds, causing the extra metadata to be stripped.
A configuration for Terser used by the CLI is provided in `tooling.ts` which
sets `ngJitMode` to `false` when building AOT apps.
