Previously, only directives and services with generic type parameters
would emit `any` as generic type when emitting Ivy metadata into .d.ts
files. Pipes can also have generic type parameters but did not emit
`any` for all type parameters, resulting in the omission of those
parameters which causes compilation errors.
This commit adds support for pipes with generic type arguments and emits
`any` as generic type in the Ivy metadata.

This patch is the first of a few patches which separates the
styling logic between template bindings (e.g. <div [style])
from host bindings (e.g. @HostBinding('style')). This patch
in particular introduces a series of host-specific styling
instructions and changes the existing set of template styling
instructions not to accept directives. The underyling code (which
communicates with the styling algorithm) still works as it did
before.
This PR also separates the styling instruction code into a separate
file and moves over all other instructions into an dedicated
instructions directory.

This fix is for a bug in the ngtsc PartialEvaluator, which statically
evaluates expressions.
Sometimes, evaluating a reference requires resolving a function which is
declared in another module, and thus no function body is available. To
support this case, the PartialEvaluator has the concept of a foreign
function resolver.
This allows the interpretation of expressions like:
const router = RouterModule.forRoot([]);
even though the definition of the 'forRoot' function has no body. In
ngtsc today, this will be resolved to a Reference to RouterModule itself,
via the ModuleWithProviders foreign function resolver.
However, the PartialEvaluator also associates any Identifiers in the path
of this resolution with the Reference. This is done so that if the user
writes
const x = imported.y;
'x' can be generated as a local identifier instead of adding an import for
'y'.
This was at the heart of a bug. In the above case with 'router', the
PartialEvaluator added the identifier 'router' to the Reference generated
(through FFR) to RouterModule.
This is not correct. References that result from FFR expressions may not
have the same value at runtime as they do at compile time (indeed, this is
not the case for ModuleWithProviders). The Reference generated via FFR is
"synthetic" in the sense that it's constructed based on a useful
interpretation of the code, not an accurate representation of the runtime
value. Therefore, it may not be legal to refer to the Reference via the
'router' identifier.
This commit adds the ability to mark such a Reference as 'synthetic', which
allows the PartialEvaluator to not add the 'router' identifier down the
line. Tests are included for both the PartialEvaluator itself as well as the
resultant buggy behavior in ngtsc overall.

Currently if an Angular library has multiple unnamed module re-exports, NGC will
generate incorrect metdata if the project is using the flat-module bundle option.
e.g.
_public-api.ts_
```ts
export * from '@mypkg/secondary1';
export * from '@mypkg/secondary2';
```
There are clearly two unnamed re-exports in the `public-api.ts` file. NGC right now
accidentally overwrites all previous re-exports with the last one. Resulting in the
generated metadata only containing a reference to `@mypkg/secondary2`.
This is problematic as it is common for primary library entry-points to have
multiple re-exports (e.g. Material re-exporting all public symbols; or flex-layout
exporting all public symbols from their secondary entry-points).
Currently Angular Material works around this issue by manually creating
a metadata file that declares the re-exports from all unnamed re-exports.
(see: https://github.com/angular/material2/blob/master/tools/package-tools/build-release.ts#L78-L85)
This workaround works fine currently, but is no longer easily integrated when
building the package output with Bazel. In order to be able to build such
libraries with Bazel (Material/flex-layout), we need to make sure that NGC
generates the proper flat-module metadata bundle.

Previously, ngtsc would resolve forward references while evaluating the
bootstrap, declaration, imports, and exports fields of NgModule types.
However, when generating the resulting ngModuleDef, the forward nature of
these references was not taken into consideration, and so the generated JS
code would incorrectly reference types not yet declared.
This commit fixes this issue by introducing function closures in the
NgModuleDef type, similarly to how NgComponentDef uses them for forward
declarations of its directives and pipes arrays. ngtsc will then generate
closures when required, and the runtime will unwrap them if present.

This fixes an issue with commit b6f6b117. In this commit, default imports
processed in a type-to-value conversion were recorded as non-local imports
with a '*' name, and the ImportManager generated a new default import for
them. When transpiled to ES2015 modules, this resulted in the following
correct code:
import i3 from './module';
// somewhere in the file, a value reference of i3:
{type: i3}
However, when the AST with this synthetic import and reference was
transpiled to non-ES2015 modules (for example, to commonjs) an issue
appeared:
var module_1 = require('./module');
{type: i3}
TypeScript renames the imported identifier from i3 to module_1, but doesn't
substitute later references to i3. This is because the import and reference
are both synthetic, and never went through the TypeScript AST step of
"binding" which associates the reference to its import. This association is
important during emit when the identifiers might change.
Synthetic (transformer-added) imports will never be bound properly. The only
possible solution is to reuse the user's original import and the identifier
from it, which will be properly downleveled. The issue with this approach
(which prompted the fix in b6f6b117) is that if the import is only used in a
type position, TypeScript will mark it for deletion in the generated JS,
even though additional non-type usages are added in the transformer. This
again would leave a dangling import.
To work around this, it's necessary for the compiler to keep track of
identifiers that it emits which came from default imports, and tell TS not
to remove those imports during transpilation. A `DefaultImportTracker` class
is implemented to perform this tracking. It implements a
`DefaultImportRecorder` interface, which is used to record two significant
pieces of information:
* when a WrappedNodeExpr is generated which refers to a default imported
value, the ts.Identifier is associated to the ts.ImportDeclaration via
the recorder.
* when that WrappedNodeExpr is later emitted as part of the statement /
expression translators, the fact that the ts.Identifier was used is
also recorded.
Combined, this tracking gives the `DefaultImportTracker` enough information
to implement another TS transformer, which can recognize default imports
which were used in the output of the Ivy transform and can prevent them
from being elided. This is done by creating a new ts.ImportDeclaration for
the imports with the same ts.ImportClause. A test verifies that this works.

Previously, when the NgModule scope resolver discovered semantic errors
within a users NgModules, it would throw assertion errors. TODOs in the
codebase indicated these should become ts.Diagnostics eventually.
Besides producing better-looking errors, there is another reason to make
this change asap: these assertions were shadowing actual errors, via an
interesting mechanism:
1) a component would produce a ts.Diagnostic during its analyze() step
2) as a result, it wouldn't register component metadata with the scope
resolver
3) the NgModule for the component references it in exports, which was
detected as an invalid export (no metadata registering it as a
component).
4) the resulting assertion error would crash the compiler, hiding the
real cause of the problem (an invalid component).
This commit should mitigate this problem by converting scoping errors to
proper ts.Diagnostics. Additionally, we should consider registering some
marker indicating a class is a directive/component/pipe without actually
requiring full metadata to be produced for it, which would allow suppression
of errors like "invalid export" for such invalid types.

This commit refactors and expands ngtsc's support for generating imports of
values from imports of types (this is used for example when importing a
class referenced in a type annotation in a constructor).
Previously, this logic handled "import {Foo} from" and "import * as foo
from" style imports, but failed on imports of default values ("import
Foo from"). This commit moves the type-to-value logic to a separate file and
expands it to cover the default import case. Doing this also required
augmenting the ImportManager to track default as well as non-default import
generation. The APIs were made a little cleaner at the same time.

The content projection mechanism is static, in that it only looks at the static
template nodes before directives are matched and change detection is run.
When you have a selector-based content projection the selection is based
on nodes that are available in the template.
For example:
```
<ng-content selector="[some-attr]"></ng-content>
```
would match
```
<div some-attr="..."></div>
```
If you have an inline-template in your projected nodes. For example:
```
<div *ngIf="..." some-attr="..."></div>
```
This gets pre-parsed and converted to a canonical form.
For example:
```
<ng-template [ngIf]="...">
<div some-attr=".."></div>
</ng-template>
```
Note that only structural attributes (e.g. `*ngIf`) stay with the `<ng-template>`
node. The other attributes move to the contained element inside the template.
When this happens in ivy, the ng-template content is removed
from the component template function and is compiled into its own
template function. But this means that the information about the
attributes that were on the content are lost and the projection
selection mechanism is unable to match the original
`<div *ngIf="..." some-attr>`.
This commit adds support for this in ivy. Attributes are separated into three
groups (Bindings, Templates and "other"). For inline-templates the Bindings
and "other" types are hoisted back from the contained node to the `template()`
instruction, so that they can be used in content projection matching.

ngtsc occasionally converts a type reference (such as the type of a
parameter in a constructor) to a value reference (argument to a
directiveInject call). TypeScript has a bad habit of sometimes removing
the import statement associated with this type reference, because it's a
type only import when it initially looks at the file.
A solution to this is to always add an import to refer to a type position
value that's imported, and not rely on the existing import.

When ngtsc generates a .ngfactory shim, it does so based on the contents of
an original file in the program. Occasionally these original files have
comments at the top which are load-bearing (e.g. they contain jsdoc
annotations which are significant to downstream bundling tools). The
generated factory shims should preserve this comment.
This commit adds a step to the ngfactory generator to preserve the top-level
comment from the original source file.

ngtsc has cyclic import detection, to determine when adding an import to a
directive or pipe would create a cycle. However, this detection must also
account for already inserted imports, as it's possible for both directions
of a circular import to be inserted by Ivy (as opposed to at least one of
those edges existing in the user's program).
This commit fixes the circular import detection for components to take into
consideration already added edges. This is difficult for one critical
reason: only edges to files which will *actually* be imported should be
considered. However, that depends on which directives & pipes are used in
a given template, which is currently only known by running the
TemplateDefinitionBuilder during the 'compile' phase. This is too late; the
decision whether to use remote scoping (which consults the import graph) is
made during the 'resolve' phase, before any compilation has taken place.
Thus, the only way to correctly consider synthetic edges is for the compiler
to know exactly which directives & pipes are used in a template during
'resolve'. There are two ways to achieve this:
1) refactor `TemplateDefinitionBuilder` to do its work in two phases, with
directive matching occurring as a separate step which can be performed
earlier.
2) use the `R3TargetBinder` in the 'resolve' phase to independently bind the
template and get information about used directives.
Option 1 is ideal, but option 2 is currently used for practical reasons. The
cost of binding the template can be shared with template-typechecking.
PR Close#29040
In the @Component decorator, the 'host' field is an object which represents
host bindings. The type of this field is complex, but is generally of the
form {[key: string]: string}. Several different kinds of bindings can be
specified, depending on the structure of the key.
For example:
```
@Component({
host: {'[prop]': 'someExpr'}
})
```
will bind an expression 'someExpr' to the property 'prop'. This is known to
be a property binding because of the square brackets in the binding key.
If the binding key is a plain string (no brackets or parentheses), then it
is known as an attribute binding. In this case, the right-hand side is not
interpreted as an expression, but is instead a constant string.
There is no actual requirement that at build time, these constant strings
are known to the compiler, but this was previously enforced as a side effect
of requiring the binding expressions for property and event bindings to be
statically known (as they need to be parsed). This commit breaks that
relationship and allows the attribute bindings to be dynamic. In the case
that they are dynamic, the references to the dynamic values are reflected
into the Ivy instructions for attribute bindings.

In certain configurations (such as the g3 repository) which have lots of
small compilation units as well as strict dependency checking on generated
code, ngtsc's default strategy of directly importing directives/pipes into
components will not work. To handle these cases, an additional mode is
introduced, and is enabled when using the FileToModuleHost provided by such
compilation environments.
In this mode, when ngtsc encounters an NgModule which re-exports another
from a different file, it will re-export all the directives it contains at
the ES2015 level. The exports will have a predictable name based on the
FileToModuleHost. For example, if the host says that a directive Foo is
from the 'root/external/foo' module, ngtsc will add:
```
export {Foo as ɵng$root$external$foo$$Foo} from 'root/external/foo';
```
Consumers of the re-exported directive will then import it via this path
instead of directly from root/external/foo, preserving strict dependency
semantics.
