* Currently when building a `ng_module` with Bazel and having the flat module id option set, the flat module files are not being generated because `@angular/compiler-cli` does not properly determine the entry-point file.
Note that this logic is not necessarily specific to Bazel and the same problem can happen without Bazel if multiple TypeScript input files are specified while the `flatModuleIndex` option has been enabled.

Ngcc will now render additional exports for classes that are referenced in
`NgModule` decorated classes, but which were not publicly exported
from an entry-point of the package.
This is important because when ngtsc compiles libraries processed by ngcc
it needs to be able to publcly access decorated classes that are referenced
by `NgModule` decorated classes in order to build templates that use these
classes.
Doing this re-exporting is not without its risks. There are chances that
the class is not exported correctly: there may already be similarly named
exports from the entry-point or the class may be being aliased. But there
is not much more we can do from the point of view of ngcc to workaround
such scenarios. Generally, packages should have been built so that this
approach works.

There are a number of variables that need to be passed around
the program, in particular to the renderers, which benefit from being
stored in well defined objects.
The new `EntryPointBundle` structure is a specific format of an entry-point
and contains the compiled `BundleProgram` objects for the source and typings,
if appropriate.
This change helps with future refactoring, where we may need to add new
properties to this object. It allows us to maintain more stable APIs between
the constituent parts of ngcc, rather than passing lots of primitive values
around throughout the program.

If a decorated class is not publicly exported via an entry-point then the
previous approach to finding the associated typings file failed.
Now we ensure that we extract all the class declarations from the
dtsTypings program, even if they are not exported from the entry-point.
This is achieved by also parsing statements of each source file, rather
than just parsing classes that are exported from the entry-point.
Because we now look at all the files, it is possible for there to be multiple
class declarations with the same local name. In this case, only the first
declaration with a given name is added to the map; subsequent classes are
ignored.
We are most interested in classes that are publicly exported from the
entry-point, so these are added to the map first, to ensure that they are

When ngtsc compiles @angular/core, it rewrites core imports to the
r3_symbols.ts file that exposes all internal symbols under their
external name. When creating the FESM bundle, the r3_symbols.ts file
causes the external symbol names to be rewritten to their internal name.
Under ngcc compilations of FESM bundles, the indirection of
r3_symbols.ts is no longer in place such that the external names are
retained in the bundle. Previously, the external name `ɵdefineNgModule`
was explicitly declared internally to resolve this issue, but the
recently added `setClassMetadata` was not declared as such, causing
runtime errors.
Instead of relying on the r3_symbols.ts file to perform the rewrite of
the external modules to their internal variants, the translation is
moved into the `ImportManager` during the compilation itself. This
avoids the need for providing the external name manually.

Originally, the ivy_switch mechanism used Bazel genrules to conditionally
compile one TS file or another depending on whether ngc or ngtsc was the
selected compiler. This was done because we wanted to avoid importing
certain modules (and thus pulling them into the build) if Ivy was on or
off. This mechanism had a major drawback: ivy_switch became a bottleneck
in the import graph, as it both imports from many places in the codebase
and is imported by many modules in the codebase. This frequently resulted
in cyclic imports which caused issues both with TS and Closure compilation.
It turns out ngcc needs both code paths in the bundle to perform the switch
during its operation anyway, so import switching was later abandoned. This
means that there's no real reason why the ivy_switch mechanism needed to
operate at the Bazel level, and for the ivy_switch file to be a bottleneck.
This commit removes the Bazel-level ivy_switch mechanism, and introduces
an additional TypeScript transform in ngtsc (and the pass-through tsc
compiler used for testing JIT) to perform the same operation that ngcc
does, and flip the switch during ngtsc compilation. This allows the
ivy_switch file to be removed, and the individual switches to be located
directly next to their consumers in the codebase, greatly mitigating the
circular import issues and making the mechanism much easier to use.
As part of this commit, the tag for marking switched variables was changed
from __PRE_NGCC__ to __PRE_R3__, since it's no longer just ngcc which
flips these tags. Most variables were renamed from R3_* to SWITCH_* as well,
since they're referenced mostly in render2 code.
Test strategy: existing test coverage is more than sufficient - if this
didn't work correctly it would break the hello world and todo apps.

function and use it to create an instance of the subclass.
For @Injectables with configured providers, the factory function is
of the form:
factory: (t?) => t ? constructorInject(t) : provider();

Previously the compiler compliance tests ran and built test code with
real dependencies on @angular/core and @angular/common. This meant that
any changes to the compiler would result in long rebuild processes
for tests to rerun.
This change removes those dependencies and causes test code to be built
against the fake_core stub of @angular/core that the ngtsc tests use.
This change also removes the dependency on @angular/common entirely, as

ngtsc used to assume that all .d.ts dependencies (that is, third party
packages) were imported via an absolute module path. It turns out this
assumption isn't valid; some build tools allow relative imports of
other compilation units.
In the absolute case, ngtsc assumes (and still does) that all referenced
types are available through the entrypoint from which an @NgModule was
imported. This commit adds support for relative imports, in which case
ngtsc will use relative path resolution to determine the imports.

There is a bug in the existing handling for cross-file references.
Suppose there are two files, module.ts and component.ts.
component.ts declares two components, one of which uses the other.
In the Ivy model, this means the component will get a directives:
reference to the other in its defineComponent call.
That reference is generated by looking at the declared components
of the module (in module.ts). However, the way ngtsc tracks this
reference, it ends up comparing the identifier of the component
in module.ts with the component.ts file, detecting they're not in
the same file, and generating a relative import.
This commit changes ngtsc to track all identifiers of a reference,
including the one by which it is declared. This allows toExpression()
to correctly decide that a local reference is okay in component.ts.
PR Close#25080
When ngtsc encounters a reference to a type (for example, a Component
type listed in an NgModule declarations array), it traces the import
of that type and attempts to determine the best way to refer to it.
In the event the type is defined in the same file where a reference
is being generated, the identifier of the type is used. If the type
was imported, ngtsc has a choice. It can use the identifier from the
original import, or it can write a new import to the module where the
type came from.
ngtsc has a bug currently when it elects to rely on the user's import.
When writing a .d.ts file, the user's import may have been elided as
the type was not referred to from the type side of the program. Thus,
in .d.ts files ngtsc must always assume the import may not exist, and
generate a new one.
In .js output the import is guaranteed to still exist, so it's
preferable for ngtsc to continue using the existing import if one is
available.
This commit changes how @angular/compiler writes type definitions, and
allows it to use a different expression to write a type definition than
is used to write the value. This allows ngtsc to specify that types in
type definitions should always be imported. A corresponding change to
the staticallyResolve() Reference system allows the choice of which
type of import to use when generating an Expression from a Reference.

references in expressions that are being statically evaluated, and

Ivy definition types have a generic type which specifies the return
type of the factory function. For example:

Previously ngtsc would use a tuple of class types for listing metadata
in .d.ts files. For example, an @NgModule's declarations might be
represented with the type:
[NgIf, NgForOf, NgClass]
If the module had no declarations, an empty tuple [] would be produced.
This has two problems.
1. If the class type has generic type parameters, TypeScript will
complain that they're not provided.
2. The empty tuple type is not actually legal.
This commit addresses both problems.
1. Class types are now represented using the `typeof` operator, so the
above declarations would be represented as:
[typeof NgIf, typeof NgForOf, typeof NgClass].
Since typeof operates on a value, it doesn't require generic type
arguments.
2. Instead of an empty tuple, `never` is used to indicate no metadata.

properly detect whether the identifier should be used or not when
generating an expression. This change fixes that logic.
Additionally, now whenever an identifier resolves to a reference (even
one imported from another module) as part of resolving an expression,
the reference is updated to use that identifier. This ensures that for
a class Foo declared in foo.ts, but referenced in an expression in
bar.ts, the Reference returned includes the identifier from bar.ts,
meaning that writing an expression in bar.ts for the Reference will not
generate an import.

@NgModule()s get compiled to two fields: ngModuleDef and ngInjectorDef.
Both fields contain imports, as both selector scopes and injectors have
the concept of composed units of configuration. Previously these fields
were generated by static resolution of imports and exports in metadata.
Support for ModuleWithProviders requires they be generated differently.
ngModuleDef's imports/exports are generated as resolved lists of types,
whereas ngInjectorDef's imports should reflect the raw expressions that
the developer wrote in the metadata.
This change modifies the NgModule handler and properly copies raw nodes
for the imports and exports into the ngInjectorDef.

PR Close#24862
Within an @NgModule it's common to include in the imports a call to
a ModuleWithProviders function, for example RouterModule.forRoot().
The old ngc compiler was able to handle this pattern because it had
global knowledge of metadata of not only the input compilation unit
but also all dependencies.
The ngtsc compiler for Ivy doesn't have this knowledge, so the
pattern of ModuleWithProviders functions is more difficult. ngtsc
must be able to determine which module is imported via the function
in order to expand the selector scope and properly tree-shake
directives and pipes.
This commit implements a solution to this problem, by adding a type
parameter to ModuleWithProviders through which the actual module
type can be passed between compilation units.
The provider side isn't a problem because the imports are always
copied directly to the ngInjectorDef.

decorators.
Additionally, when compiling decorators ngtsc will often write an
import to @angular/core for needed symbols. However @angular/core

ngtsc needs to reflect over code to property compile it. It performs operations
such as enumerating decorators on a type, reading metadata from constructor
parameters, etc.
Depending on the format (ES5, ES6, etc) of the underlying code, the AST
structures over which this reflection takes place can be very different. For
example, in TS/ES6 code `class` declarations are `ts.ClassDeclaration` nodes,
but in ES5 code they've been downleveled to `ts.VariableDeclaration` nodes that
are initialized to IIFEs that build up the classes being defined.
The ReflectionHost abstraction allows ngtsc to perform these operations without
directly querying the AST. Different implementations of ReflectionHost allow
support for different code formats.

Bazel has a restriction that a single output (eg. a compiled version of
//packages/common) can only be produced by a single rule. This precludes
the Angular repo from having multiple rules that build the same code. And
the complexity of having a single rule produce multiple outputs (eg. an
ngc-compiled version of //packages/common and an Ivy-enabled version) is
too high.
Additionally, the Angular repo has lots of existing tests which could be
executed as-is under Ivy. Such testing is very valuable, and it would be
nice to share not only the code, but the dependency graph / build config
as well.
Thus, this change introduces a --define flag 'compile' with three potential
values. When --define=compile=X is set, the entire build system runs in a
particular mode - the behavior of all existing targets is controlled by
the flag. This allows us to reuse our entire build structure for testing
in a variety of different manners. The flag has three possible settings:
* legacy (the default): the traditional View Engine (ngc) build
* local: runs the prototype ngtsc compiler, which does not rely on global
analysis
* jit: runs ngtsc in a mode which executes tsickle, but excludes the
Angular related transforms, which approximates the behavior of plain
tsc. This allows the main packages such as common to be tested with
the JIT compiler.
Additionally, the ivy_ng_module() rule still exists and runs ngc in a mode
where Ivy-compiled output is produced from global analysis information, as
a stopgap while ngtsc is being developed.

Previously the flag would only disable the check in the case we tried to use newer tsc version.
In g3 we sometimes take a while to update tsc, but as a prerequisite of that Angular needs to be
updated first. This change enables us to update Angular and use it in g3 while g3 is being update
to the required tsc. Of course extra care is required when this check is disabled, but since we
control everything in g3, it's on us to get this right.
I don't see any preexisting tests for this, and I'm not sure how to write them right now.

When the compiler generates a reference to an exported variable in the
same file, it inserts a synthetic ts.Identifier node. In CommonJS
output, this synthetic node would not be properly rewritten with an
`exports.` prefix.
This change sets the TS original node property on the synthetic node
we generate, which ensures TS knows to rewrite it in CommonJS output.

Previously the injectable compiler assumed all tree-shakeable injectables
would have dependencies that were injectables or InjectionTokens. However
old code still uses string tokens (e.g. NgUpgrade and '$injector'). Using
such tokens would cause the injectable compiler to crash.
Now, the injectable compiler can properly generate a dependency on such a
string token.

"ng update" supports having multiple packages as part of a group which should be updated together, meaning that e.g. calling "ng update @angular/core" would be equivalent to updating all packages of the group (that are part of the package.json already).
In order to support the grouping feature, the package.json of the version the user is updating to needs to include an "ng-update" key that points to this metadata.
The entire specification for the update workflow can be found here: 2e8b12a4ef/docs/specifications/update.md

inject() supports the ngInjectableDef-based configuration of the injector

exported API of @angular/core, this PR adds it.

InjectionToken can be created with an ngInjectableDef, and previously
this allowed the full expressiveness of @Injectable. However, this
requires a runtime reflection system in order to generate factories
from expressed provider declarations.
Instead, this change requires scoped InjectionTokens to provide the
factory directly (likely using inject() for the arguments), bypassing
the need for a reflection system.

@Injectable() supports a scope parameter which specifies the target module.
However, it's still difficult to specify that a particular service belongs
in the root injector. A developer attempting to ensure that must either
also provide a module intended for placement in the root injector or target
a module known to already be in the root injector (e.g. BrowserModule).
Both of these strategies are cumbersome and brittle.
Instead, this commit adds a token APP_ROOT_SCOPE which provides a
straightforward way of targeting the root injector directly, without
requiring special knowledge of modules within it.

This commit bundles 3 important changes, with the goal of enabling tree-shaking
of services which are never injected. Ordinarily, this tree-shaking is prevented
by the existence of a hard dependency on the service by the module in which it
is declared.
Firstly, @Injectable() is modified to accept a 'scope' parameter, which points
to an @NgModule(). This reverses the dependency edge, permitting the module to
not depend on the service which it "provides".
Secondly, the runtime is modified to understand the new relationship created
above. When a module receives a request to inject a token, and cannot find that
token in its list of providers, it will then look at the token for a special
ngInjectableDef field which indicates which module the token is scoped to. If
that module happens to be in the injector, it will behave as if the token
itself was in the injector to begin with.
Thirdly, the compiler is modified to read the @Injectable() metadata and to
generate the special ngInjectableDef field as part of TS compilation, using the
PartialModules system.
Additionally, this commit adds several unit and integration tests of various
flavors to test this change.

Allows a directive to use the expression passed directly to a property

Previously, this code would unconditionally add a @fileoverview
comment to generated files, and only if the contained any code at all.
However often existing fileoverview comments should be copied from the
file the generated file was originally based off of. This allows users
to e.g. include Closure Compiler directives in their original
`component.ts` file, which will then automaticallly also apply to code
generated from it.
This special cases `@license` comments, as Closure disregards directives
in comments containing `@license`.

Structural directives can now specify a type guard that describes
what types can be inferred for an input expression inside the
directive's template.
NgIf was modified to declare an input guard on ngIf.
After this change, `fullTemplateTypeCheck` will infer that
usage of `ngIf` expression inside it's template is truthy.
For example, if a component has a property `person?: Person`
and a template of `<div *ngIf="person"> {{person.name}} </div>`
the compiler will no longer report that `person` might be null or
undefined.
The template compiler will generate code similar to,
```
if (NgIf.ngIfTypeGuard(instance.person)) {
instance.person.name
}
```
to validate the template's use of the interpolation expression.
Calling the type guard in this fashion allows TypeScript to infer
that `person` is non-null.

of an `@Injectable` that cannot be determined instead of generating a
warning.
This is planned to be switched to default to `true` for Angular 6.0.

The new expression lowering lowers everything after `useValue` / `useFactory`
into a separate exported variable. If the value was a `forwardRef`, this
was passed to the runtime and resulted in errors.

`forwardRef` in referring to something that can’t be referred to

This puts the behavior introduced in 573b8611bc behind the new flag
`alwaysCompileGeneratedCode` to not break users that might have relied
on this behavior.
Refactoring the compiler to use transformers moves the code generation
after type-checking which suppresses the errors TypeScript would
generate in the user code.
`TypeChecker` currently produces the same factory code that was
generated prior the switch to transfomers, getting back the same
diagnostics as before. The refactoring will allow the code to
diverge from the factory code and allow better diagnostic error
messages than was previously possible by type-checking the factories.
These files are needed so that:
- user code can compile even without real codegen
- as tsc transformers cannot create but only change existing files
in the transformation pipeline.
Add source location as a note tag as `<note category="location">path/to/file.ts:start_line[,end_line]</note>`.
`[,end_line]` part is optional and specified only if the end line is different from the start line.
