With this commit, the language service will first try to locate a
pre-compiled style file with the same name when a `css` is provided in
the `styleUrls`. This prevents a missing resource diagnostic for when the
compiled file is not available in the language service environment and also
allows "go to definition" to go to that pre-compiled file.

The language service uses an elements attributes to determine if it
matches a directive in the component scope. We do this by accumulating
all attribute bindings and matching against the selectors for the
available directives. The compiler itself does a similar thing. In
addition, the compiler does not use the value of `BoundAttribute`s to
match directives (cdf1ea1951/packages/compiler/src/render3/view/util.ts (L174-L206)). This commit changes the language
service to also ignore bound attribute values for directive matching.

This commit introduces the following optimizations:
1. We return an empty array for text nodes in `getDirectives` because
Angular does not support attaching logic to them. This optimization
improves performance of `getDirectives` significantly because text nodes
often result in expensive calls to `loadLContext` since we can't resolve
it from a parent node.
1. `getDirectives` now calls `loadLContext` with second argument `false`
so it doesn't throw an error. This brings another significant
improvement because prevents the VM from deoptimizing calls.
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously the `ng.getDirectives` function threw an error in case a
given DOM node had no Angular context associated with it (for example
if a function was called for a DOM element outside of an Angular app).
This behavior was inconsistent with other debugging utilities under `ng`
namespace, which handled this situation without raising an exception.
Now calling the `ng.getDirectives` function for such DOM nodes would
result in an empty array returned from that function.

There were three options being made available to users of the linker:
- ` enableI18nLegacyMessageIdFormat`
- `i18nNormalizeLineEndingsInICUs`
- ` i18nUseExternalIds`
None of these should actually be configurable at linking time
because partially-linked libraries have tighter restrictions on
what i18n options can be used.
This commit removes those options from the `LinkerOptions` interface.
It was considered to add a check for backwards compatibilty to ensure
that if these options were being passed, and were different to the expected
defaults, we would throw an informative error. But from looking at the
Angular CLI (the only known client of the linker) it has never been setting
these options so they have already always been set to the defaults.

Linked libraries no longer generate legacy i18n message ids. Any downstream
application that provides translations for these messages, will need to
migrate their message ids using the `localize-migrate` command line tool.

This commit has the Language Service take advantage of versioned source
files added in the compiler previously. With this change, the Language
Service's incremental compilations will now be correct even if the TS
Language service mutates `ts.SourceFile`s without changing their object
identity, as we know it does in certain corner cases.
No test is added here as it is difficult to reproduce this behavior in the
LS's artificial testing environment. A test for this case exists in the
LS extension repo, where it will be used to validate that a workaround three
is no longer necessary.
PR Close#41475
Generally, the compiler assumes that `ts.SourceFile`s are immutable objects.
If a new `ts.Program` is compared to an old one, and a `ts.SourceFile`
within that program has not changed its object identity, the compiler will
assume that its prior analysis and understanding of that source file is
still valid.
However, not all TypeScript workflows uphold this assumption. For
`ts.Program`s that originate from the `ts.LanguageService`, some source
files may be re-parsed or otherwise undergo mutations without changing their
object identity. This breaks the compiler's incremental workflow.
Within such environments, it's necessary to track source file changes
differently. In addition to object identity, it's necessary to compare a
"version" string associated with each source file, between when that file is
analyzed originally and when a new program is presented that still contains
it. It's possible for the object identity of the source file to be the same,
but the version string to have changed, indicating that the source file
should be treated as changed.
This commit adds an optional method `getSourceFileVersion` to the
`ProgramDriver`, to provide access to version information if available. When
this method is present, the compiler will build a map of source file version
strings, and use this map to augment identity comparison during incremental
compilation.

This commit replaces the `IncrementalDriver` abstraction which powered
incremental compilation in the compiler with a new `IncrementalCompilation`
design. Principally, it separates two concerns which were tied together in
the previous implementation:
1. Tracking the reusable state of a compilation at any given point that
could be reused in a subsequent future compilation.
2. Making use of a prior compilation's state to accelerate the current one.
The new abstraction adds explicit tracking and types to deal with both of
these concerns separately, which greatly reduces the complexity of the state
tracking that `IncrementalDriver` used to perform.

The compiler frequently translates TypeScript source file `fileName` strings
into absolute paths, via a `fs.resolve()` operation. This is often done via

`EmptyExpr` is somewhat unique, in that it's constructed in a circumstance
where the parser has been looking for a particular token or string of tokens
and has failed to find any. This means the parser state when constructing
`EmptyExpr` is fairly unique.
This gives rise to a bug where the parser constructs `EmptyExpr` with a
backwards span - a `start` value that's beyond the `end` value. This likely
happens because of the strange state the parser is in when recovering with
`EmptyExpr`.
This commit adds a backstop/workaround to avoid constructing such broken
`EmptyExpr` spans (or any other kind of span). Eventually, the parser state
should be fixed such that this does not occur, but that requires a
significant change to the parser's functionality, so a simple fix in th
interim is in order.

When multiple occurrences of the same package exist within a single
TypeScript compilation unit, TypeScript deduplicates the source files
by introducing redirected source file proxies. Such proxies are

This commit changes the incremental driver to recognize a redirected

In environments such as the Language Service where inline type-checking code
is not supported, the compiler would previously produce a diagnostic when a
template would require inlining to check. This happened whenever its
component class had generic parameters with bounds that could not be safely
reproduced in an external TCB. However, this created a bad user experience
for the Language Service, as its features would then not function with such
templates.
Instead, this commit changes the compiler to use the same strategy for
inline TCBs as it does for inline type constructors - falling back to `any`
for generic types when inlining isn't available. This allows the LS to
support such templates with slightly weaker type-checking semantics, which
a test verifies. There is still a case where components that aren't
exported require an inline TCB, and the compiler will still generate a
diagnostic if so.

Previously, the `DefaultImportRecorder` interface was used as follows:
1. During the analysis phase, the default import declaration of an
identifier was recorded.
2. During the emit phase each emitted identifier would be recorded.
The information from step 1 would then be used to determine the
default import declaration of the identifier which would be
registered as used.
3. A TypeScript transform would taint all default imports that were
registered as used in step 2 such that the imports are not elided
by TypeScript.
In incremental compilations, a file may have to be emitted even if its
analysis data has been reused from the prior compilation. This would
mean that step 1 is not executed, resulting in a mismatch in step 2 and
ultimately in incorrectly eliding the default. This was mitigated by
storing the mapping from identifier to import declaration on the
`ts.SourceFile` instead of a member of `DefaultImportTracker` such that
it would also be visible to the `DefaultImportRecorder` of subsequent
compiles even if step 1 had not been executed.
Ultimately however, the information that is being recorded into the
`DefaultImportRecorder` has a longer lifetime than a single
`DefaultImportRecorder` instance, as that is only valid during a single
compilation whereas the identifier to import declaration mapping
outlives a single compilation. This commit replaces the registration of
this mapping by attaching the default import declaration on the output
AST node that captures the identifier. This enables the removal of
all of the `DefaultImportRecorder` usages throughout the analysis phase
together with the `DefaultImportRecorder` interface itself.
PR Close#41557
The Angular compiler has to actively keep default import statements
alive if they were only used in type-only positions, but have been
emitted as value expressions for DI purposes. A problem occurred in
incremental recompilations, where the relationship between an identifier
usage and its corresponding default import would not be considered. This
could result in the removal of the default import statement and caused
a `ReferenceError` at runtime.
This commit fixes the issue by storing the association from an
identifier to its default import declaration on the source file itself,
instead of within the `DefaultImportTracker` instance. The
`DefaultImportTracker` instance is only valid for a single compilation,
whereas the association from an identifier to a default import
declaration is valid as long as the `ts.SourceFile` is the same
instance.
A subsequent commit refactor the `DefaultImportTracker` to no longer
be responsible for registering the association, as its lifetime is
conceptually too short to do so.

The `emitDecoratorMetadata` compiler option does not have to be enabled
as Angular decorators are transformed by the AOT compiler. Having the
option enabled in our tests can hide issues around import preservation,
as with `emitDecoratorMetadata` enabled the TypeScript compiler itself
does not elide imports even if they are only used in type-positions.
This is unlike having `emitDecoratorMetadata` disabled, however; in that
case the Angular compiler has to actively trick TypeScript into
retaining default imports when an identifier in a type-only position has
been reified into a value position for DI purposes.

that relies on this flag being `false`.

`NgCompiler` previously had a notion of the "next" `ts.Program`, which
served two purposes:
* it allowed a client using the `ts.createProgram` API to query for the
latest program produced by the previous `NgCompiler`, as a starting
point for building the _next_ program that incorporated any new user
changes.
* it allowed the old `NgCompiler` to be queried for the `ts.Program` on
which all prior state is based, which is needed to compute the delta
from the new program to ultimately determine how much of the prior
state can be reused.
This system contained a flaw: it relied on the `NgCompiler` knowing when
the `ts.Program` would be changed. This works fine for changes that
originate in `NgCompiler` APIs, but a client of the `TemplateTypeChecker`
may use that API in ways that create new `ts.Program`s without the
`NgCompiler`'s knowledge. This caused the `NgCompiler`'s concept of the
"next" program to get out of sync, causing incorrectness in future
incremental analysis.
This refactoring cleans up the compiler's `ts.Program` management in
several ways:
* `TypeCheckingProgramStrategy`, the API which controls `ts.Program`
updating, is renamed to the `ProgramDriver` and extracted to a separate
ngtsc package.
* It loses its responsibility of determining component shim filenames. That
functionality now lives exclusively in the template type-checking package.
* The "next" `ts.Program` concept is renamed to the "current" program, as
the "next" name was misleading in several ways.
* `NgCompiler` now wraps the `ProgramDriver` used in the
`TemplateTypeChecker` to know when a new `ts.Program` is created,
regardless of which API drove the creation, which actually fixes the bug.

when using `downlevelIteration`, which affects ES5 bundles that have
been downleveled from ES2015 bundles. This is typically the case for UMD
bundles in the APF spec, as they are generated by downleveling the
ESM2015 bundle into ES5. The reflection capabilities in the runtime need
to recognize this new form to correctly deal with synthesized
constructors, as otherwise JIT compilation could generate invalid
factory functions.

The Ivy Language Service uses the compiler's template type-checking engine,
which honors the configuration in the user's tsconfig.json. We recommend
that users upgrade to `strictTemplates` mode in their projects to take
advantage of the best possible type inference, and thus to have the best
experience in Language Service.
If a project is not using `strictTemplates`, then the compiler will not
leverage certain type inference options it has. One case where this is very
noticeable is the inference of let- variables for structural directives that
provide a template context guard (such as NgFor). Without `strictTemplates`,
these guards will not be applied and such variables will be inferred as
'any', degrading the user experience within Language Service.
This is working as designed, since the Language Service _should_ reflect
types exactly as the compiler sees them. However, the View Engine Language
Service used its own type system that _would_ infer these types even when
the compiler did not. As a result, it's confusing to some users why the
Ivy Language Service has "worse" type inference.
To address this confusion, this commit implements a suggestion diagnostic
which is shown in the Language Service for variables which could have been
narrowed via a context guard, but the type checking configuration didn't
allow it. This should make the reason why variables receive the 'any' type
as well as the action needed to improve the typings much more obvious,
improving the Language Service experience.

Currently, when importing `BrowserAnimationsModule`, Angular uses `AnimationRenderer`
as the renderer. When the root view is removed, the `AnimationRenderer` defers the actual
work to the `TransitionAnimationEngine` to do this, and the `TransitionAnimationEngine`
doesn't actually remove the DOM node, but just calls `markElementAsRemoved()`.
The actual DOM node is not removed until `TransitionAnimationEngine` "flushes".
Unfortunately, though, that "flush" will never happen, since the root view is being
destroyed and there will be no more flushes.
This commit adds `flush()` call when the root view is being destroyed.
BREAKING CHANGE:
DOM elements are now correctly removed when the root view is removed.
If you are using SSR and use the app's HTML for rendering, you will need
to ensure that you save the HTML to a variable before destorying the
app.
It is also possible that tests could be accidentally relying on the old behavior by
trying to find an element that was not removed in a previous test. If
this is the case, the failing tests should be updated to ensure they
have proper setup code which initializes elements they rely on.

Previously presence of both [class] and [className] bindings on an element was treated as compiler error (implemented in 6f203c9575). Later, the situation was improved to actually allow both bindings to co-exist (see a153b61098), however the compiler check was not removed completely. The only situation where the error is thrown at this moment is when static (but with interpolation) and bound `class` attributes are present on an element, for ex.:
```
<div class="{{ one }}" [class]="'two'"></div>
```
In the current situation the error is acually misleading (as it refers to `[className]`).
This commit removes the mentioned compiler check as obsolete and makes the `class` and `style` attribute processing logically the same (the last occurrence is used to compute the value).

This commit fixes the behavior when creating a type constructor for a directive when the following
conditions are met.
1. The directive has bound generic parameters.
2. Inlining is not available. (This happens for language service compiles).
Previously, we would throw an error saying 'Inlining is not supported in this environment.' The
compiler would stop type checking, and the developer could lose out on getting errors after the
compiler gives up.
This commit adds a useInlineTypeConstructors to the type check config. When set to false, we use
`any` type for bound generic parameters to avoid crashing. When set to true, we inline the type
constructor when inlining is required.

This commit complements the support for the `__spreadArray` helper that
was added in microsoft/TypeScript#41523. The prior helpers `__spread`
and `__spreadArrays` used the `__read` helper internally, but the helper
is now emitted as an argument to `__spreadArray` so ngcc now needs to
support evaluating it statically. The real implementation of `__read`
reads an iterable into an array, but for ngcc's static evaluation
support it is sufficient to only deal with arrays as is. Additionally,
the optional `n` parameter is not supported as that is only emitted for
array destructuring syntax, which ngcc does not have to support.

In TypeScript 4.2 the `__spread` and `__spreadArrays` helpers were both
replaced by the new helper function `__spreadArray` in
microsoft/TypeScript#41523. These helpers may be used in downleveled
JavaScript bundles that ngcc has to process, so ngcc has the ability to
statically detect these helpers and provide evaluation logic for them.
Because Angular is adopting support for TypeScript 4.2 it becomes
possible for libraries to be compiled by TypeScript 4.2 and thus ngcc
has to add support for the `__spreadArray` helper. The deprecated
`__spread` and `__spreadArrays` helpers are not affected by this change.

the typings-only mode excluded the format property itself from being

This commit refactors the code to extract the logic into standalone functions and use these functions in the code instead of referencing them via `Validators` class. That should make the code more tree-shakable. The `Validators` class still retains its structure and calls these standalone methods internally to keep this change backwards-compatible.

A long-requested feature for HttpClient is the ability to store and retrieve

BREAKING CHANGE:
Switching default of `emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue`
which changes the default behavior and may cause some applications which
rely on the incorrect behavior to fail.
`emitDistinctChangesOnly` flag has also been deprecated and will be
removed in a future major release.
The previous implementation would fire changes `QueryList.changes.subscribe`
whenever the `QueryList` was recomputed. This resulted in an artificially
high number of change notifications, as it is possible that recomputing
`QueryList` results in the same list. When the `QueryList` gets recomputed
is an implementation detail, and it should not be the thing that determines
how often change event should fire.
Unfortunately, fixing the behavior outright caused too many existing
applications to fail. For this reason, Angular considers this fix a
breaking fix and has introduced a flag in `@ContentChildren` and
`@ViewChildren`, that controls the behavior.
```
export class QueryCompWithStrictChangeEmitParent {
@ContentChildren('foo', {
// This option is the new default with this change.
emitDistinctChangesOnly: true,
})
foos!: QueryList<any>;
}

`emitDistinctChangesOnlyDefaultValue` was set to `false. This change
changes the default to `true`.

Tsserver expects `@angular/language-service` to provide a factory function
as the default export (commonjs-style) of the package.
The current implementation side steps TypeScript's import syntax by using
`module.exports = factory`.
This allows the code to incorrectly re-export other symbols:
```ts
export * from './api';
```
which transpiles to:
```js
var tslib_1 = require("tslib");
tslib_1.__exportStar(require("@angular/language-service/api"), exports);
```
Doing this meant that the package now has a runtime dependency on `tslib`,
which is totally unnecessary.
With the proper `export =` syntax, `tslib` is removed, and no other exports
are allowed.
Output:
```js
(function (factory) {
if (typeof module === "object" && typeof module.exports === "object") {
var v = factory(require, exports);
if (v !== undefined) module.exports = v;

* `performanceNow` - Only used in one place that has to be invoked through the browser console.
* `supportsCookies` - Unused.
* `getCookie` - Unused.
* `getLocation` and `getHistory` - Only used in one place which appears to have access to the DOM
already, because it had direct accesses to `window`. Furthermore, even if this was being used

* `supportsDOMEvents` - Changed to a readonly property.
* `remove` - No longer returns the removed node.

When there are elements in a translated message, the start and end tags
are encoded as placeholders. The names of these placeholders are computed
from the name of the element. For example `<a> will be `START_LINK` and
`</a>` will be `CLOSE_LINK`.
If there are more than one element with the same name, but different attributes,
then the starting placeholder name is made unique.
For example `<a href="a">` would be `START_LINK`, while `<a href="b">` in
the same message would then be called `START_LINK_1`.
But the closing tags will not be made unique since there are no attrbutes;
the always have the same text `</a>`, which will produce, for example,
`CLOSE_LINK`.
Previously, when extracting XLIFF 2 formatted translation files, the closing
tag placeholder names were computed incorrectly from the opening tag
placeholder names. For example `CLOSE_LINK_1`.
This commit strips these `_1` type endings from the start tag placeholder
name when computing the closing tag placeholder name. It also ensures
that the `type` of the placeholder is computed accurately in these cases
too.

The Angular compiler creates two `ts.Program`s; one for emit and one for
template type-checking. The creation of the type-check program could

Previously, injector definitions contained a `factory` property that
was used to create a new instance of the associated NgModule class.
Now this factory has been moved to its own `ɵfac` static property on the
NgModule class itself. This is inline with how directives, components and
pipes are created.
There is a small size increase to bundle sizes for each NgModule class,
because the `ɵfac` takes up a bit more space:
Before:
```js
let a = (() => {
class n {}
return n.\u0275mod = c.Cb({type: n}),
n.\u0275inj = c.Bb({factory: function(t) { return new (t || n) }, imports: [[e.a.forChild(s)], e.a]}),
n
})(),
```
After:
```js
let a = (() => {
class n {}
return n.\u0275fac = function(t) { return new (t || n) },
n.\u0275mod = c.Cb({type: n}),
n.\u0275inj = c.Bb({imports: [[r.a.forChild(s)], r.a]}),
n
})(),
```
In other words `n.\u0275fac = ` is longer than `factory: ` (by 5 characters)
and only because the tooling insists on encoding `ɵ` as `\u0275`.
This can be mitigated in a future PR by only generating the `ɵfac` property
if it is actually needed.

The compiler performs cycle analysis for the used directives and pipes
of a component's template to avoid introducing a cyclic import into the
generated output. The used directives and pipes are represented by their
output expression which would typically be an `ExternalExpr`; those are
responsible for the generation of an `import` statement. Cycle analysis
needs to determine the `ts.SourceFile` that would end up being imported
by these `ExternalExpr`s, as the `ts.SourceFile` is then checked against
the program's `ImportGraph` to determine if the import is allowed, i.e.
does not introduce a cycle. To accomplish this, the `ExternalExpr` was
dissected and ran through module resolution to obtain the imported
`ts.SourceFile`.
This module resolution step is relatively expensive, as it typically
needs to hit the filesystem. Even in the presence of a module resolution
cache would these module resolution requests generally see cache misses,
as the generated import originates from a file for which the cache has
not previously seen the imported module specifier.
This commit removes the need for the module resolution by wrapping the
generated `Expression` in an `EmittedReference` struct. This allows the
reference emitter mechanism that is responsible for generating the
`Expression` to also communicate from which `ts.SourceFile` the
generated `Expression` would be imported, precluding the need for module
resolution down the road.
PR Close#40948
The import graph scans source files for its import and export statements
to extract the source files that it imports/exports. Such statements
contain a module specifier string and this module specifier used to be
resolved to the actual source file using an explicit module resolution
step. This is especially expensive in incremental rebuilds, as the
module resolution cache has not been primed during program creation
(assuming that the incremental program was able to reuse the module
resolution results from a prior compilation). This meant that all module
resolution requests would have to hit the filesystem, which is
relatively slow.
This commit is able to replace the module resolution with TypeScript's
bound symbol of the module specifier. This symbol corresponds with the
`ts.SourceFile` that is being imported/exported, which is exactly what
the import graph was interested in. As a result, no filesystem accesses
are done anymore.
