This commit changes the partial compilation so that it outputs declaration
calls rather than definition calls for NgModules and Injectors.
The JIT compiler and the linker are updated to be able to handle these
new declarations.
PR Close#41080
The linker is implemented using a Babel transform such that Babel needs
to parse and walk a source file to find the declarations that need to be
compiled. If it can be determined that a source file is known not to
contain any declarations the parsing and walking can be skipped as a
performance improvement. This commit adds an exposed function for tools
that integrate the linker to use to allow short-circuiting of the linker
transform.
PR Close#40137
This commit adds the basic building blocks for linking partial declarations.
In particular it provides a generic `FileLinker` class that delegates to
a set of (not yet implemented) `PartialLinker` classes.
The Babel plugin makes use of this `FileLinker` providing concrete classes
for `AstHost` and `AstFactory` that work with Babel AST. It can be created
with the following code:
```ts
const plugin = createEs2015LinkerPlugin({ /* options */ });
```
PR Close#39116
This commit adds the `AstHost` interface, along with implementations for
both Babel and TS.
It also implements the Babel vesion of the `AstFactory` interface, along
with a linker specific implementation of the `ImportGenerator` interface.
These classes will be used by the new "ng-linker" to transform prelinked
library code using a Babel plugin.
