Currently when an instance of the `FormControlName` directive is destroyed, the Forms package invokes
the `cleanUpControl` to clear all directive-specific logic (such as validators, onChange handlers,
etc) from a bound control. The logic of the `cleanUpControl` function should revert all setup
performed by the `setUpControl` function. However the `cleanUpControl` is too aggressive and removes
all callbacks related to the onChange and disabled state handling. This is causing problems when
a form control is bound to multiple FormControlName` directives, causing other instances of that
directive to stop working correctly when the first one is destroyed.
This commit updates the cleanup logic to only remove callbacks added while setting up a control
for a given directive instance.
The fix is needed to allow adding `cleanUpControl` function to other places where cleanup is needed
(missing this function calls in some other places causes memory leak issues).
PR Close#39623
Prior to this commit, the `cleanUpControl` function (responsible for cleaning up control instance)
was not taking validators into account. As a result, these validators remain registered on a detached
form control instance, thus causing memory leaks. This commit updates the `cleanUpControl` function
logic to also run validators cleanup.
As a part of this change, the logic to setup and cleanup validators was refactored and moved to
separate functions (with completely opposite behavior), so that they can be reused in the future.
This commit doesn't add the `cleanUpControl` calls to all possible places, it just fixes the cases
where this function is being called, but doesn't fully perform a cleanup. The `cleanUpControl`
function calls will be added to other parts of code (to avoid more memory leaks) in a followup PR.

This commit refactors validators-related logic that is common across most of the directives.
A couple notes on this refactoring:
* common logic was moved to the `AbstractControlDirective` class (including `validator` and
`asyncValidator` getters)
* sync/async validators are now composed in `AbstractControlDirective` class eagerly when validators
are set with `_setValidators` and `_setAsyncValidators` calls and the result is stored in directive
instance (thus getters return cached versions of validator fn). This is needed to make sure composed
validator function remains the same (retains its identity) for a given directive instance, so that
this function can be added and later removed from an instance of an AbstractControl-based class
(like `FormControl`). Preserving validator function is required to perform proper cleanup (in followup
PRs) of the AbstractControl-based classes when a directive is destroyed.

Prior to this change, the `validators` and `asyncValidators` fields of a few Forms directives
were typed as `any[]`. This commit updates the types and makes them consistent for all directives
in the Forms package.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Directives in the `@angular/forms` package used to have `any[]` as a type of `validators` and
`asyncValidators` arguments in constructors. Now these arguments are properly typed, so if your
code relies on directive constructor types it may require some updates to improve type safety.
PR Close#38944
It's perfectly valid for an abstract control not to have a defined parent; yet previously the
types were asserting that AbstractControl#parent is not a null value. This changes correctly
reflects the run-time behavior through the types.
BREAKING CHANGE: Type of AbstractFormControl.parent now includes null
`null` is now included in the types of .parent. If you don't already have a check for this case,
the TypeScript compiler might compain. A v11 migration exists which adds the not-null assertion
operator where necessary.
In an unlikely case your code was testing the parnet against undefined with sitrct equality,
you'll need to change this to `=== null` instead, since the parent is not explicily initialized
with `null` instead of being left `undefined`.

NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR is a multi injection token, users can and
should expect more than one ControlValueAccessor to be
available (and this is how it is used in @angular/forms).
This is now reflected in the definition of the injection token
by typing it as an array of ControlValueAccessor. The motivating
reason is that using the programmatic Injector api will now
type Injector#get correspondingly.
fixes#29351
BREAKING CHANGES
NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR is now typed as a readonly array rather than
a mutable scalar. It is used as a multi injection token and as
such it should always be expected that more than one accessor
may be returned.

This commit ensures that the `updateValueAndValidity` method takes the
`asyncValidator` into consideration to emit on the `statusChanges` observables.
This is necessary so that any subsequent changes are emitted properly to any
subscribers.
Closes#20424Closes#14542
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously if FormControl, FormGroup and FormArray class instances had async validators
defined at initialization time, the status change event was not emitted once async validator
completed. After this change the status event is emitted into the `statusChanges` observable.
If your code relies on the old behavior, you can filter/ignore this additional status change
event.

Prior to this commit, a lot of internal-only class properties and methods (such as `ngOnChanges`)
of the Forms package directives were exposed on angular.io website. These fields are not expected
to be called externally (they are used/invoked by framework only), since they are part of internal
implementations of the following interfaces:
* Angular lifecycle hook interfaces
* ControlValueAccessor interface
* Validator interface
Having these internal-only fields in docs creates unnecessary noise on directive detail pages.
This commit adds the `@nodoc` annotation to these properties and methods to keep fields in the
golden files, but hide them in docs.

This commit performs minor refactoring in Forms package to get rid of duplicate functions.
It looks like the functions were duplicated due to a slightly different type signatures, but

A util file is added to forms test package:

Closes#37831
PR Close#38020
This commit refactors the way we store validators in AbstractControl-based classes:
in addition to the combined validators function that we have, we also store the original list of validators.
This is needed to have an ability to clean them up later at destroy time (currently it's problematic since
they are combined in a single function).
The change preserves backwards compatibility by making sure public APIs stay the same.
The only public API update is the change to the `AbstractControl` class constructor to extend the set
of possible types that it can accept and process (which should not be breaking).

Remove `looseIdentical` implementation and instead use the ES2015 `Object.is` in its place.
They behave exactly the same way except for `+0`/`-0`.
`looseIdentical(+0, -0)` => `true`
`Object.is(+0, -0)` => `false`
Other than the difference noted above, this is not be a breaking change because:
1. `looseIdentical` is a private API
2. ES2015 is listed as a mandatory polyfill in the [browser support

Prior to this commit, number input fields would to fire valueChanges twice: once for `input` events when typing and second for the `change` event when the field lost focus (both events happen at once when using the increment and decrement buttons on the number field).
Fixes#12540
BREAKING CHANGE: Number inputs no longer listen to the `change` event.
* Tests which trigger `change` events need to be updated to trigger `input` events instead.
* The `change` event was in place to support IE9, as we found that `input` events were not fired with backspace or cut actions. If you need to maintain IE9 support, you will need to add a change event listener to number inputs and call the `onChange` method of `NumberValueAccessor` manually.
* Lastly, old versions of WebDriver would synthetically trigger the `change` event on `WebElement.clear` and `WebElement.sendKeys`. If you are using an old version of WebDriver, you may need to update tests to ensure `input` events are triggered. For example, you could use `element.sendKeys(Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, "a"), Keys.BACK_SPACE);` in place of `element.clear()`.

by skipping validation altogether when a numeric value is used.

* The `minLength` and `maxLength` validators now verify that a value has
numeric `length` property and invoke validation only if that's the case.
Previously, falsey values without the length property (such as `0` or

the old behavior, you can include other validators such as [min][1] or
[requiredTrue][2] to the list of validators for a particular field.
