This commit adds an API to `NgCompiler`, a method called
`getComponentsWithTemplateFile`. Given a filesystem path to an external
template file, it retrieves a `Set` (actually a `ReadonlySet`) of component
declarations which are using this template. In most cases, this will only be
a single component.
This information is easily determined by the compiler during analysis, but
is hard for a lot of Angular tooling (e.g. the language service) to infer
independently. Therefore, it makes sense to expose this as a compiler API.

With the introduction of incremental type checking in #36211, an
intermediate `ts.Program` for type checking is only created if there are
any templates to check. This rendered some tests ineffective at avoiding
regressions, as the intermediate `ts.Program` was required for the tests
to fail if the scenario under test would not be accounted for. This
commit adds a single component to these tests, to ensure the
intermediate `ts.Program` is in fact created.

Prior to this fix, incremental rebuilds could fail to type check due to
missing ambient types from auto-discovered declaration files in @types
directories, or type roots in general. This was caused by the
intermediary `ts.Program` that is created for template type checking,
for which a `ts.CompilerHost` was used which did not implement the
optional `directoryExists` methods. As a result, auto-discovery of types
would not be working correctly, and this would retain into the
`ts.Program` that would be created for an incremental rebuild.
This commit fixes the issue by forcing the custom `ts.CompilerHost` used
for type checking to properly delegate into the original
`ts.CompilerHost`, even for optional methods. This is accomplished using
a base class `DelegatingCompilerHost` which is typed in such a way that
newly introduced `ts.CompilerHost` methods must be accounted for.

Prior to this change, each invocation of `loadStandardTestFiles` would
load the necessary files from disk. This function is typically called
at the top-level of a test module in order to share the result across

`node_modules/typescript` which is ~60MB in size, so the memory overhead

In Ivy, template type-checking has 3 modes: basic, full, and strict. The
primary difference between basic and full modes is that basic mode only
checks the top-level template, whereas full mode descends into nested
templates (embedded views like ngIfs and ngFors). Ivy applies this approach
to all of its template type-checking, including the DOM schema checks which
validate whether an element is a valid component/directive or not.
View Engine has both the basic and the full mode, with the same distinction.
However in View Engine, DOM schema checks happen for the full template even
in the basic mode.
Ivy's behavior here is technically a "fix" as it does not make sense for
some checks to apply to the full template and others only to the top-level
view. However, since g3 relies exclusively on the basic mode of checking and
developers there are used to DOM checks applying throughout their template,
this commit re-enables the nested schema checks even in basic mode only in
g3. This is done by enabling the checks only when Closure Compiler
annotations are requested.
Outside of g3, it's recommended that applications use at least the full mode
of checking (controlled by the `fullTemplateTypeCheck` flag), and ideally
the strict mode (`strictTemplates`).

to properly deal with renamed symbols, however it turns out that the
compiler has special handling for certain imported symbols, e.g.
`ChangeDetectorRef` from `@angular/core`. The "local" type value
reference prevented this special logic from being hit, resulting in

Recent optimizations to ngcc have significantly reduced the total time
it takes to process `node_modules`, to such extend that sharding across
multiple processes has become less effective. Previously, running
ngcc asynchronously would allow for up to 8 workers to be allocated,
however these workers have to repeat work that could otherwise be shared.
Because ngcc is now able to reuse more shared computations, the overhead
of multiple workers is increased and therefore becomes less effective.
As an additional benefit, having fewer workers requires less memory and
less startup time.
To give an idea, using the following test setup:
```bash
npx @angular/cli new perf-test
cd perf-test
yarn ng add @angular/material
./node_modules/.bin/ngcc --properties es2015 module main \
--first-only --create-ivy-entry-points

| Sync | 85s | 25s |
| Async (8 workers) | 22s | 16s |
| Async (4 workers) | - | 11s |

use the environment variable `NGCC_MAX_WORKERS` that may be configured
to either reduce or increase the number of workers.

ngcc creates typically two `ts.Program` instances for each entry-point,
one for processing sources and another one for processing the typings.
The creation of these programs is somewhat expensive, as it concerns
module resolution and parsing of source files.
This commit implements several layers of caching to optimize the
creation of programs:
1. A shared module resolution cache across all entry-points within a
single invocation of ngcc. Both the sources and typings program
benefit from this cache.
2. Sharing the parsed `ts.SourceFile` for a single entry-point between
the sources and typings program.
3. Sharing parsed `ts.SourceFile`s of TypeScript's default libraries
across all entry-points within a single invocation. Some of these
default library typings are large and therefore expensive to parse,
so sharing the parsed source files across all entry-points offers
a significant performance improvement.
Using a bare CLI app created using `ng new` + `ng add @angular/material`,
the above changes offer a 3-4x improvement in ngcc's processing time
when running synchronously and ~2x improvement for asynchronous runs.

When type-checking a component, the declaring NgModule scope is used
to create a directive matcher that contains flattened directive metadata,

Adds `TemplateTypeChecker` operation to retrieve the `Symbol` of a
`TmplAstVariable` or `TmplAstReference` in a template.
Sometimes we need to traverse an intermediate variable declaration to arrive at
the correct `ts.Symbol`. For example, loop variables are declared using an intermediate:
```
<div *ngFor="let user of users">
{{user.name}}
</div>
```
Getting the symbol of user here (from the expression) is tricky, because the TCB looks like:
```
var _t0 = ...; // type of NgForOf
var _t1: any; // context of embedded view for NgForOf structural directive
if (NgForOf.ngTemplateContextGuard(_t0, _t1)) {
// _t1 is now NgForOfContext<...>
var _t2 = _t1.$implicit; // let user = '$implicit'
_t2.name; // user.name expression
}
```
Just getting the `ts.Expression` for the `AST` node `PropRead(ImplicitReceiver, 'user')`
via the sourcemaps will yield the `_t2` expression. This function recognizes that `_t2`
is a variable declared locally in the TCB, and actually fetch the `ts.Symbol` of its initializer.
These special handlings show the versatility of the `Symbol`
interface defined in the API. With this, when we encounter a template variable,
we can provide the declaration node, as well as specific information
about the variable instance, such as the `ts.Type` and `ts.Symbol`.

The `R3TargetBinder` accepts an interface for directive metadata which
declares types for `input` and `output` objects. These types convey the
mapping between the property names for an input or output and the
corresponding property name on the component class. Due to
`R3TargetBinder`'s requirements, this mapping was specified with property
names as keys and field names as values.
However, because of duck typing, this interface was accidentally satisifed
by the opposite mapping, of field names to property names, that was produced
in other parts of the compiler. This form more naturally represents the data
model for inputs.
Rather than accept the field -> property mapping and invert it, this commit
introduces a new abstraction for such mappings which is bidirectional,
eliminating the ambiguous plain object type. This mapping uses new,
unambiguous terminology ("class property name" and "binding property name")
and can be used to satisfy both the needs of the binder as well as those of
the template type-checker (field -> property).

during analysis is directly compatible with the binder via this unambiguous
new interface.

The template type-checker would generate a statement with a call
expression for all DOM elements in a template of the form:
```
const _t1 = document.createElement("div");
```
Profiling has shown that this is a particularly expensive call to
perform type inference on, as TypeScript needs to perform signature
selection of `Document.createElement` and resolve the exact type from
the `HTMLElementTagNameMap`. However, it can be observed that the
statement by itself does not contribute anything to the type-checking
result if `_t1` is not actually used anywhere, which is only rarely the
case---it requires that the element is referenced by its name from
somewhere else in the template. Consequently, the type-checker can skip
generating this statement altogether for most DOM elements.
The effect of this optimization is significant in several phases:
1. Less type-check code to generate
2. Less type-check code to emit and parse again
3. No expensive type inference to perform for the call expression
The effect on phase 3 is the most significant here, as type-checking is
not currently incremental in the sense that only phases 1 and 2 can
be reused from a prior compilation. The actual type-checking of all
templates in phase 3 needs to be repeated on each incremental
compilation, so any performance gains we achieve here are very

Prior to this change, the template type checker would always use a
type-constructor to instantiate a directive. This type-constructor call
serves two purposes:
1. Infer any generic types for the directive instance from the inputs
that are passed in.
2. Type check the inputs that are passed into the directive's inputs.
The first purpose is only relevant when the directive actually has any
generic types and using a type-constructor for these cases inhibits
a type-check performance penalty, as a type-constructor's signature is
quite complex and needs to be generated for each directive.
This commit refactors the generated type-check blocks to only generate
a type-constructor call for directives that have generic types. Type
checking of inputs is achieved by generating individual statements for
all inputs, using assignments into the directive's fields.
Even if a type-constructor is used for type-inference of generic types
will the input checking also be achieved using the individual assignment
statements. This is done to support the rework of the language service,
which will start to extract symbol information from the type-check
blocks.
As a future optimization, it may be possible to reduce the number of

"Quote expressions" are expressions that start with an identifier followed by a
comma, allowing arbitrary syntax to follow. These kinds of expressions would
throw a an error in the template type checker, which would make them hard to
track down. As quote expressions are not generally used at all, the error would
typically occur for URLs that would inadvertently occur in a binding:
```html
<a [href]="https://example.com"></a>
```
This commit lets such bindings be inferred as the `any` type.

In TypeScript 3.8 support was added for type-only imports, which only brings in
the symbol as a type, not their value. The Angular compiler did not yet take
the type-only keyword into account when representing symbols in type positions
as value expressions. The class metadata that the compiler emits would include
the value expression for its parameter types, generating actual imports as
necessary. For type-only imports this should not be done, as it introduces an
actual import of the module that was originally just a type-only import.
This commit lets the compiler deal with type-only imports specially, preventing
a value expression from being created.

When using the safe navigation operator in a binding expression, a temporary
variable may be used for storing the result of a side-effectful call.
For example, the following template uses a pipe and a safe property access:
```html
<app-person-view [enabled]="enabled" [firstName]="(person$ | async)?.name"></app-person-view>
```
The result of the pipe evaluation is stored in a temporary to be able to check
whether it is present. The temporary variable needs to be declared in a separate
statement and this would also cause the full expression itself to be pulled out
into a separate statement. This would compile into the following
pseudo-code instructions:
```js
var temp = null;
var firstName = (temp = pipe('async', ctx.person$)) == null ? null : temp.name;
property('enabled', ctx.enabled)('firstName', firstName);
```
Notice that the pipe evaluation happens before evaluating the `enabled` binding,
such that the runtime's internal binding index would correspond with `enabled`,
not `firstName`. This introduces a problem when the pipe uses `WrappedValue` to
force a change to be detected, as the runtime would then mark the binding slot
corresponding with `enabled` as dirty, instead of `firstName`. This results
in the `enabled` binding to be updated, triggering setters and affecting how
`OnChanges` is called.
In the pseudo-code above, the intermediate `firstName` variable is not strictly
necessary---it only improved readability a bit---and emitting it inline with
the binding itself avoids the out-of-order execution of the pipe:
```js
var temp = null;
property('enabled', ctx.enabled)
('firstName', (temp = pipe('async', ctx.person$)) == null ? null : temp.name);
```
This commit introduces a new `BindingForm` that results in the above code to be
generated and adds compiler and acceptance tests to verify the proper behavior.

For attribute bindings that target a directive's input, the template
type checker is able to verify that the type of the input expression is
compatible with the directive's declaration for said input. This
checking adheres to the `strictNullChecks` flag as configured in the
TypeScript compilation, such that errors are reported for expressions
that include `undefined` or `null` in their type if the input's
declaration does not include those types.
There was a bug with this level of type-checking for directives that
also declare coercion members, where binding an expression that includes
the `undefined` type to a directive's input that does not include the
`undefined` type would not be reported as error.
This commit fixes the bug by changing the type-constructor in type-check
code to use an intersection type of regular inputs and coerced inputs,
instead of a union type. The union type would inadvertently allow
`undefined` types to be assigned into the regular inputs, as that would
still satisfy the characteristics of a union type.
As a result of this change, you may start to see build failures if
`strictTemplates` is enabled and `strictInputTypes` is not disabled.
These errors are legitimate and some action is required to achieve a
successful build:
1. Update the templates for which an error is reported and introduce the
non-null assertion operator at the end of the expression. This
removes the `undefined` type from the expression's type, making it
appear as a valid assignment.
2. Disable `strictNullInputTypes` in the compiler options. This will
implicitly add the non-null assertion operators similar to option 1,
but all templates in the compilation are affected.
3. Update the directive's input declaration to include the `undefined`
type, if the directive is not implemented in an external library.

Roll forward of #38147.
This allows Closure compiler to tree shake unused constructor calls to `NgModuleFactory`, which is otherwise considered
side-effectful. The Angular compiler generates factory objects which are exported but typically not used, as they are
only needed for compatibility with View Engine. This results in top-level constructor calls, such as:
```typescript
export const FooNgFactory = new NgModuleFactory(Foo);
```
`NgModuleFactory` has a side-effecting constructor, so this statement cannot be tree shaken, even if `FooNgFactory` is
never imported. The `NgModuleFactory` continues to reference its associated `NgModule` and prevents the module and all
its unused dependencies from being tree shaken, making Closure builds significantly larger than necessary.
The fix here is to wrap `NgModuleFactory` constructor with `noSideEffects(() => /* ... */)`, which tricks the Closure
compiler into assuming that the invoked function has no side effects. This allows it to tree-shake unused
`NgModuleFactory()` constructors when they aren't imported. Since the factory can be removed, the module can also be
removed (if nothing else references it), thus tree shaking unused dependencies as expected.
The one notable edge case is for lazy loaded modules. Internally, lazy loading is done as a side effect when the lazy
script is evaluated. For Angular, this side effect is registering the `NgModule`. In Ivy this is done by the
`NgModuleFactory` constructor, so lazy loaded modules **cannot** have their top-level `NgModuleFactory` constructor
call tree shaken. We handle this case by looking for the `id` field on `@NgModule` annotations. All lazy loaded modules
include an `id`. When this `id` is found, the `NgModuleFactory` is generated **without** with `noSideEffects()` call,
so Closure will not tree shake it and the module will lazy-load correctly.

Large strings constants are now wrapped in a function which is called whenever used. This works around a unique
limitation of Closure, where it will **always** inline string literals at **every** usage, regardless of how large the
string literal is or how many times it is used.The workaround is to use a function rather than a string literal.
Closure has differently inlining semantics for functions, where it will check the length of the function and the number
of times it is used before choosing to inline it. By using a function, `ngtsc` makes Closure more conservative about
inlining large strings, and avoids blowing up the bundle size.This optimization is only used if the constant is a large
string. A wrapping function is not included for other use cases, since it would just increase the bundle size and add
unnecessary runtime performance overhead.

The template type-checking engine relies on the abstraction interface
`TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` to create updated `ts.Program`s for
template type-checking. The basic API is that the type-checking engine
requests changes to certain files in the program, and the strategy provides
an updated `ts.Program`.
Typically, such changes are made to 'ngtypecheck' shim files, but certain
conditions can cause template type-checking to require "inline" operations,
which change user .ts files instead. The strategy used by 'ngc' (the
`ReusedProgramStrategy`) supports these kinds of updates, but other clients
such as the language service might not always support modifying user files.
To accommodate this, the `TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` interface was
modified to include a `supportsInlineOperations` flag. If an implementation
specifies `false` for inline support, the template type-checking system will
return diagnostics on components which would otherwise require inline
operations.

* the `TemplateTypeChecker` interface supports diagnostics on a whole

designed to support incremental diagnostics at a per-file or per-component

Previously in the template type-checking engine, it was assumed that every
input file would have an associated type-checking shim. The type check block
code for all components in the input file would be generated into this shim.
This is fine for whole-program type checking operations, but to support the
language service's requirements for low latency, it would be ideal to be
able to check a single component in isolation, especially if the component
is declared along with many others in a single file.
This commit removes the assumption that the file/shim mapping is 1:1, and
introduces the concept of component-to-shim mapping. Any
`TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` must provide such a mapping.
To achieve this:
* type checking record information is now split into file-level data as
well as per-shim data.
* components are now assigned a stable `TemplateId` which is unique to the
file in which they're declared.

When the `NgIf` directive is used in a template, its context variables
can be used to capture the bound value. This is sometimes used in
complex expressions, where the resulting value is captured in a
context variable. There's two syntax forms available:
1. Binding to `NgIfContext.ngIf` using the `as` syntax:
```html
<span *ngIf="enabled && user as u">{{u.name}}</span>
```
2. Binding to `NgIfContext.$implicit` using the `let` syntax:
```html
<span *ngIf="enabled && user; let u">{{u.name}}</span>
```
Because of the semantics of `ngIf`, it is known that the captured
context variable is truthy, however the template type checker
would not consider them as such and still report errors when
`strict` is enabled.
This commit updates `NgIf`'s context guard to make the types of the
context variables truthy, avoiding the issue.

Incremental compilation allows for the output state of one compilation to be
reused as input to the next compilation. This involves retaining references
to instances from prior compilations, which must be done carefully to avoid
memory leaks.
This commit fixes such a leak with a complicated retention chain:
* `TrackedIncrementalBuildStrategy` unnecessarily hangs on to the previous
`IncrementalDriver` (state of the previous compilation) once the current
compilation completes.
In general this is unnecessary, but should be safe as long as the chain
only goes back one level - if the `IncrementalDriver` doesn't retain any
previous `TrackedIncrementalBuildStrategy` instances. However, this does
happen:
* `NgCompiler` indirectly causes retention of previous `NgCompiler`
instances (and thus previous `TrackedIncrementalBuildStrategy` instances)
through accidental capture of the `this` context in a closure created in
its constructor. This closure is wrapped in a `ts.ModuleResolutionCache`
used to create a `ModuleResolver` class, which is passed to the program's
`TraitCompiler` on construction.
* The `IncrementalDriver` retains a reference to the `TraitCompiler` of the
previous compilation, completing the reference chain.
The final retention chain thus looks like:
* `TrackedIncrementalBuildStrategy` of current program
* `.previous`: `IncrementalDriver` of previous program
* `.lastGood.traitCompiler`: `TraitCompiler`
* `.handlers[..].moduleResolver.moduleResolutionCache`: cache
* (via `getCanonicalFileName` closure): `NgCompiler`
* `.incrementalStrategy`: `TrackedIncrementalBuildStrategy` of previous
program.
The closure link is the "real" leak here. `NgCompiler` is creating a closure
for `getCanonicalFileName`, delegating to its
`this.adapter.getCanonicalFileName`, for the purposes of creating a
`ts.ModuleResolutionCache`. The fact that the closure references
`NgCompiler` thus eventually causes previous `NgCompiler` iterations to be
retained. This is also potentially problematic due to the shared nature of
`ts.ModuleResolutionCache`, which is potentially retained across multiple
compilations intentionally.
This commit fixes the first two links in the retention chain: the build
strategy is patched to not retain a `previous` pointer, and the `NgCompiler`
is patched to not create a closure in the first place, but instead pass a
bound function. This ensures that the `NgCompiler` does not retain previous
instances of itself in the first place, even if the build strategy does
end up retaining the previous incremental state unnecessarily.
The third link (`IncrementalDriver` unnecessarily retaining the whole
`TraitCompiler`) is not addressed in this commit as it's a more
architectural problem that will require some refactoring. However, the leak
potential of this retention is eliminated thanks to fixing the first two
issues.

When ngcc creates an entry-point program, the `allowJs` option is enabled
in order to operate on the JavaScript source files of the entry-point.
A side-effect of this approach is that external modules that don't ship
declaration files will also have their JavaScript source files loaded
into the program, as the `allowJs` flag allows for them to be imported.
This may pose an issue in certain edge cases, where ngcc would inadvertently
operate on these external modules. This can introduce all sorts of undesirable
behavior and incompatibilities, e.g. the reflection host that is selected for
the entry-point's format could be incompatible with that of the external
module's JavaScript bundles.
To avoid these kinds of issues, module resolution that would resolve to
a JavaScript file located outside of the package will instead be rejected,
as if the file would not exist. This would have been the behavior when
`allowJs` is set to false, which is the case in typical Angular compilations.

During AOT compilation, the value of some expressions need to be known at
compile time. The compiler has the ability to statically evaluate expressions
the best it can, but there can be occurrences when an expression cannot be
evaluated statically. For instance, the evaluation could depend on a dynamic
value or syntax is used that the compiler does not understand. Alternatively,
it is possible that an expression could be statically evaluated but the
resulting value would be of an incorrect type.
In these situations, it would be helpful if the compiler could explain why it
is unable to evaluate an expression. To this extend, the static interpreter
in Ivy keeps track of a trail of `DynamicValue`s which follow the path of nodes
that were considered all the way to the node that causes an expression to be
considered dynamic. Up until this commit, this rich trail of information was
not surfaced to a developer so the compiler was of little help to explain
why static evaluation failed, resulting in situations that are hard to debug
and resolve.
This commit adds much more insight to the diagnostic that is produced for static
evaluation errors. For dynamic values, the trail of `DynamicValue` instances
is presented to the user in a meaningful way. If a value is available but not
of the correct type, the type of the resolved value is shown.

Commit 4213e8d5 introduced shim reference tagging into the compiler, and
changed how the `TypeCheckProgramHost` worked under the hood during the
creation of a template type-checking program. This work enabled a more
incremental flow for template type-checking, but unintentionally introduced
several regressions in performance, caused by poor incrementality during
`ts.Program` creation.
1. The `TypeCheckProgramHost` was made to rely on the `ts.CompilerHost` to
retrieve instances of `ts.SourceFile`s from the original program. If the
host does not return the original instance of such files, but instead
creates new instances, this has two negative effects: it incurs
additional parsing time, and it interferes with TypeScript's ability to
reuse information about such files.
2. During the incremental creation of a `ts.Program`, TypeScript compares
the `referencedFiles` of `ts.SourceFile` instances from the old program
with those in the new program. If these arrays differ, TypeScript cannot
fully reuse the old program. The implementation of reference tagging
introduced in 4213e8d5 restores the original `referencedFiles` array
after a `ts.Program` is created, which means that future incremental
operations involving that program will always fail this comparison,
effectively limiting the incrementality TypeScript can achieve.
Problem 1 exacerbates problem 2: if a new `ts.SourceFile` is created by the
host after shim generation has been disabled, it will have an untagged
`referencedFiles` array even if the original file's `referencedFiles` was
not restored, triggering problem 2 when creating the template type-checking
program.
To fix these issues, `referencedFiles` arrays are now restored on the old
`ts.Program` prior to the creation of a new incremental program. This allows
TypeScript to get the most out of reusing the old program's data.
Additionally, the `TypeCheckProgramHost` now uses the original `ts.Program`
to retrieve original instances of `ts.SourceFile`s where possible,
preventing issues when a host would otherwise return fresh instances.
Together, these fixes ensure that program reuse is as incremental as
possible, and tests have been added to verify this for certain scenarios.
An optimization was further added to prevent the creation of a type-checking
`ts.Program` in the first place if no type-checking is necessary.

We recently added a transformer to NGC that is responsible for downleveling Angular
decorators and constructor parameter types. The primary goal was to mitigate a
TypeScript limitation/issue that surfaces in Angular projects due to the heavy
reliance on type metadata being captured for DI. Additionally this is a pre-requisite
of making `tsickle` optional in the Angular bazel toolchain.
See: 401ef71ae5 for more context on this.
Another (less important) goal was to make sure that the CLI can re-use
this transformer for its JIT mode compilation. The CLI (as outlined in
the commit mentioned above), already has a transformer for downleveling
constructor parameters. We want to avoid this duplication and exported
the transform through the tooling-private compiler entry-point.
Early experiments in using this transformer over the current one, highlighted
that in JIT, class decorators cannot be downleveled. Angular relies on those
to be invoked immediately for JIT (so that factories etc. are generated upon loading)
The transformer we exposed, always downlevels such class decorators
though, so that would break CLI's JIT mode. We can address the CLI's
needs by adding another flag to skip class decorators. This will allow
us to continue with the goal of de-duplication.

Commit 24b2f1da2b introduced an `NgCompiler` which operates on a
`ts.Program` independently of the `NgtscProgram`. The NgCompiler got its
`IncrementalDriver` (for incremental reuse of Angular compilation results)
by looking at a monkey-patched property on the `ts.Program`.
This monkey-patching operation causes problems with the Angular indexer
(specifically, it seems to cause the indexer to retain too much of prior
programs, resulting in OOM issues). To work around this, `IncrementalDriver`
reuse is now handled by a dedicated `IncrementalBuildStrategy`. One
implementation of this interface is used by the `NgtscProgram` to perform
the old-style reuse, relying on the previous instance of `NgtscProgram`
instead of monkey-patching. Only for `NgTscPlugin` is the monkey-patching
strategy used, as the plugin sits behind an interface which only provides
access to the `ts.Program`, not a prior instance of the plugin.

Previously, ngcc would only be able to match an ngcc configuration to
packages that were located inside the project's top-level
`node_modules/`. However, if there are multiple versions of a package in
a project (e.g. as a transitive dependency of other packages), multiple
copies of a package (at different versions) may exist in nested
`node_modules/` directories. For example, one at
`<project-root>/node_modules/some-package/` and one at
`<project-root>/node_modules/other-package/node_modules/some-package/`.
In such cases, ngcc was only able to detect the config for the first
copy but not for the second.
This commit fixes this by returning a new instance of
`ProcessedNgccPackageConfig` for each different package path (even if
they refer to the same package name). In these
`ProcessedNgccPackageConfig`, the `entryPoints` paths have been
processed to take the package path into account.

PR Close#37040
In order to retrieve the ngcc configuration (if any) for an entry-point,
ngcc has to detect the containing package's version.
Previously, ngcc would try to read the version from the entry-point's
`package.json` file, which was different than the package's top-level
`package.json` for secondary entry-points. For example, it would try to
read it from `node_modules/@angular/common/http/package.json` for
entry-point `@angular/common/http`. However, the `package.json` files
for secondary entry-points are not guaranteed to include a `version`
property.
This commit fixes this by first trying to read the version from the
_package's_ `package.json` (falling back to the entry-point's
`package.json`). For example, it will first try to read it from
`@angular/common/package.json` for entry-point `@angular/common/http`.

Previously, when an entry-point was ignored via an ngcc config, ngcc
would scan sub-directories for sub-entry-points, but would not use the
correct `packagePath`. For example, if `@angular/common` was ignored, it
would look at `@angular/common/http` but incorrectly use
`.../@angular/common/http` as the `packagePath` (instead of
`.../@angular/common`). As a result, it would not retrieve the correct
ngcc config for the actual package.
This commit fixes it by ensuring the correct `packagePath` is used, even
if the primary entry-point corresponding to that path is ignored. In
order to do this, a new return value for `getEntryPointInfo()` is added:
`IGNORED_ENTRY_POINT`. This is used to differentiate between directories
that correspond to no or an incompatible entry-point and those that
correspond to an entry-point that could otherwise be valid but is
explicitly ignored. Consumers of `getEntryPointInfo()` can then use this
info to discard ignored entry-points, but still use the correct
`packagePath` when scanning their sub-directories for secondary
entry-points.

Currently Angular internally already handles `InjectionToken` as
predicates for queries. This commit exposes this as public API as
developers already relied on this functionality but currently use
workarounds to satisfy the type constraints (e.g. `as any`).
We intend to make this public as it's low-effort to support, and
it's a significant key part for the use of light-weight tokens as
described in the upcoming guide: https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/36144.
In concrete, applications might use injection tokens over classes
for both optional DI and queries, because otherwise such references
cause classes to be always retained. This was also an issue in View
Engine, but now with Ivy, this pattern became worse, as factories are
directly attached to retained classes (ultimately ending up in the
production bundle, while being unused).

It is quite common for the TS compiler to have to add synthetic
types to function signatures, where the developer has not
explicitly provided them. This results in `import(...)` expressions
appearing in typings files. For example in `@ngrx/data` there is a
class with a getter that has an implicit type:
```ts
export declare class EntityCollectionServiceBase<...> {
...
get store() {
return this.dispatcher.store;
}
...
}
```
In the d.ts file for this we get:
```ts
get store(): Store<import("@ngrx/data").EntityCache>;
```
Given that this file is within the `@ngrx/data` package already,
this caused ngcc to believe that there was a circular dependency,
causing it to fail to process the package - and in fact crash!
This commit resolves this problem by ignoring `import()` expressions
when scanning typings programs for dependencies. This ability was
only introduced very recently in a 10.0.0 RC release, and so it has
limited benefit given that up till now ngcc has been able to process
libraries effectively without it. Moreover, in the rare case that a
package does have such a dependency, it should get picked up
by the sync ngcc+CLI integration point.
PR Close#37503
In v7 of Angular we removed `tsickle` from the default `ngc` pipeline.
This had the negative potential of breaking ES2015 output and SSR due
to a limitation in TypeScript.
TypeScript by default preserves type information for decorated constructor
parameters when `emitDecoratorMetadata` is enabled. For example,
consider this snippet below:
```
@Directive()
export class MyDirective {
constructor(button: MyButton) {}
}
export class MyButton {}
```
TypeScript would generate metadata for the `MyDirective` class it has
a decorator applied. This metadata would be needed in JIT mode, or
for libraries that provide `MyDirective` through NPM. The metadata would
look as followed:
```
let MyDirective = class MyDir {}
MyDirective = __decorate([
Directive(),
__metadata("design:paramtypes", [MyButton]),
], MyDirective);
let MyButton = class MyButton {}
```
Notice that TypeScript generated calls to `__decorate` and
`__metadata`. These calls are needed so that the Angular compiler
is able to determine whether `MyDirective` is actually an directive,
and what types are needed for dependency injection.
The limitation surfaces in this concrete example because `MyButton`
is declared after the `__metadata(..)` call, while `__metadata`
actually directly references `MyButton`. This is illegal though because
`MyButton` has not been declared at this point. This is due to the
so-called temporal dead zone in JavaScript. Errors like followed will
be reported at runtime when such file/code evaluates:
```
Uncaught ReferenceError: Cannot access 'MyButton' before initialization
```
As noted, this is a TypeScript limitation because ideally TypeScript
shouldn't evaluate `__metadata`/reference `MyButton` immediately.
Instead, it should defer the reference until `MyButton` is actually
declared. This limitation will not be fixed by the TypeScript team
though because it's a limitation as per current design and they will
only revisit this once the tc39 decorator proposal is finalized
(currently stage-2 at time of writing).
Given this wontfix on the TypeScript side, and our heavy reliance on
this metadata in libraries (and for JIT mode), we intend to fix this
from within the Angular compiler by downleveling decorators to static
properties that don't need to evaluate directly. For example:
```
MyDirective.ctorParameters = () => [MyButton];
```
With this snippet above, `MyButton` is not referenced directly. Only
lazily when the Angular runtime needs it. This mitigates the temporal
dead zone issue caused by a limitation in TypeScript's decorator
metadata output. See: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/27519.
In the past (as noted; before version 7), the Angular compiler by
default used tsickle that already performed this transformation. We
moved the transformation to the CLI for JIT and `ng-packager`, but now
we realize that we can move this all to a single place in the compiler
so that standalone ngc consumers can benefit too, and that we can
disable tsickle in our Bazel `ngc-wrapped` pipeline (that currently
still relies on tsickle to perform this decorator processing).
This transformation also has another positive side-effect of making
Angular application/library code more compatible with server-side
rendering. In principle, TypeScript would also preserve type information
for decorated class members (similar to how it did that for constructor
parameters) at runtime. This becomes an issue when your application
relies on native DOM globals for decorated class member types. e.g.
```
@Input() panelElement: HTMLElement;
```
Your application code would then reference `HTMLElement` directly
whenever the source file is loaded in NodeJS for SSR. `HTMLElement`
does not exist on the server though, so that will become an invalid
reference. One could work around this by providing global mocks for
these DOM symbols, but that doesn't match up with other places where
dependency injection is used for mocking DOM/browser specific symbols.
More context in this issue: #30586. The TL;DR here is that the Angular
compiler does not care about types for these class members, so it won't
ever reference `HTMLElement` at runtime.

`NgCompiler` is the heart of ngtsc and can be used to analyze and compile
Angular programs in a variety of environments. Most of these integrations
rely on `NgProgram` and the creation of an `NgCompilerHost` in order to
create a `ts.Program` with the right shape for `NgCompiler`.
However, certain environments (such as the Angular Language Service) have
their own mechanisms for creating `ts.Program`s that don't make use of a
`ts.CompilerHost`. In such environments, an `NgCompilerHost` does not make
sense.
This commit breaks the dependency of `NgCompiler` on `NgCompilerHost` and

into a new interface, `NgCompilerAdapter`. This interface includes methods
from `ts.CompilerHost`, the `ExtendedTsCompilerHost`, as well as APIs from
`NgCompilerHost`.
A consumer such as the language service can implement this API without
needing to jump through hoops to create an `NgCompilerHost` implementation
that somehow wraps its specific environment.

When the compiler encounters a function call within an NgModule imports
section, it attempts to resolve it to an NgModule-annotated class by
looking at the function body and evaluating the statements there. This
evaluation can only understand simple functions which have a single
return statement as their body. If the function the user writes is more
complex than that, the compiler won't be able to understand it and
previously the PartialEvaluator would return a "DynamicValue" for
that import.
With this change, in the event the function body resolution fails the
PartialEvaluator will now attempt to use its foreign function resolvers to
determine the correct result from the function's type signtaure instead. If
the function is annotated with a correct ModuleWithProviders type, the
compiler will be able to understand the import without static analysis of

are matched against rootDirs in a canonical manner, but the actual

The type checking infrastrure uses file-paths that may come from the

checking classes must also canonicalize paths when matching.

Since the `MockFileSystemWindows` is case-insensitive, any
drive path that must be added to a normalized path should be lower
case to make the path canonical.

Previously this class used the file passed in directly to look up files in the
in-memory mock file-system. But this doesn't match the behaviour of
case-insensitive file-systems. Now the look up is done on the canonical
file paths.

Previously this method was returning the exact opposite value
than the correct one.
Also, calling `this.exists()` causes an infinite recursions,
so the actual file-system `fs.existsSync()` method is used
to ascertain the case-sensitivity of the file-system.

Previously in v9, we deprecated the pattern of undecorated base classes
that rely on Angular features. We ran a migration for this in version 9
and will run the same on in version 10 again.
To ensure that projects do not regress and start using the unsupported
pattern again, we report an error in ngtsc if such undecorated classes
are discovered.
We keep the compatibility code enabled in ngcc so that libraries
can be still be consumed, even if they have not been migrated yet.

As of version 10, libraries following the APF will no longer contain
ESM5 output. Hence, tests in ngcc need to be updated as they currently
rely on the release output of `@angular/core`.
Additionally, we'd need to support in ngcc that the `module`
property of entry-points no longer necessarily refers to
`esm5` output, but instead can also target `esm2015`.
We currently achieve this by checking the path the `module`
property points to. We can do this because as per APF, the
folder name is known for the esm2015 output. Long-term for
more coverage, we want to sniff the format by looking for
known ES2015 constructs in the file `module` refers to.

We can remove all of the entry point resolution configuration from the package.json

In #36892 the `ModuleWithProviders` type parameter becomes required.
This exposes a bug in ngcc, where it can only handle functions that have a
specific form:
```
function forRoot() {
return { ... };
}
```
In other words, it only accepts functions that return an object literal.
In some libraries, the function instead returns a call to another function.
For example in `angular-in-memory-web-api`:
```
InMemoryWebApiModule.forFeature = function (dbCreator, options) {
return InMemoryWebApiModule_1.forRoot(dbCreator, options);
};
```
This commit changes the parsing of such functions to use the
`PartialEvaluator`, which can evaluate these more complex function
bodies.

Previously this method was implemented on the `NgccReflectionHost`,
but really it is asking too much of the host, since it actually needs to do
some static evaluation of the code to be able to support a wider range
of function shapes. Also there was only one implementation of the method
in the `Esm2015ReflectionHost` since it has no format specific code in
in.
This commit moves the whole function (and supporting helpers) into the
`ModuleWithProvidersAnalyzer`, which is the only place it was being used.
This class will be able to do further static evaluation of the function bodies
in order to support more function shapes than the host can do on its own.
The commit removes a whole set of reflection host tests but these are
already covered by the tests of the analyzer.

This optimization builds on a lot of prior work to finally make type-
checking of templates incremental.
Incrementality requires two main components:
- the ability to reuse work from a prior compilation.
- the ability to know when changes in the current program invalidate that
prior work.
Prior to this commit, on every type-checking pass the compiler would
generate new .ngtypecheck files for each original input file in the program.
1. (Build #1 main program): empty .ngtypecheck files generated for each
original input file.
2. (Build #1 type-check program): .ngtypecheck contents overridden for those
which have corresponding components that need type-checked.
3. (Build #2 main program): throw away old .ngtypecheck files and generate
new empty ones.
4. (Build #2 type-check program): same as step 2.
With this commit, the `IncrementalDriver` now tracks template type-checking
_metadata_ for each input file. The metadata contains information about
source mappings for generated type-checking code, as well as some
diagnostics which were discovered at type-check analysis time. The actual
type-checking code is stored in the TypeScript AST for type-checking files,
which is now re-used between programs as follows:
1. (Build #1 main program): empty .ngtypecheck files generated for each
original input file.
2. (Build #1 type-check program): .ngtypecheck contents overridden for those
which have corresponding components that need type-checked, and the
metadata registered in the `IncrementalDriver`.
3. (Build #2 main program): The `TypeCheckShimGenerator` now reuses _all_
.ngtypecheck `ts.SourceFile` shims from build #1's type-check program in
the construction of build #2's main program. Some of the contents of
these files might be stale (if a component's template changed, for
example), but wholesale reuse here prevents unnecessary changes in the
contents of the program at this point and makes TypeScript's job a lot
easier.
4. (Build #2 type-check program): For those input files which have not
"logically changed" (meaning components within are semantically the same
as they were before), the compiler will re-use the type-check file
metadata from build #1, and _not_ generate a new .ngtypecheck shim.
For components which have logically changed or where the previous
.ngtypecheck contents cannot otherwise be reused, code generation happens
as before.

As a performance optimization, this commit splits the single
__ngtypecheck__.ts file which was previously added to the user's program as
a container for all template type-checking code into multiple .ngtypecheck
shim files, one for each original file in the user's program.
In larger applications, the generation, parsing, and checking of this single
type-checking file was a huge performance bottleneck, with the file often
exceeding 1 MB in text content. Particularly in incremental builds,
regenerating this single file for the entire application proved especially
expensive.
This commit introduces a new strategy for template type-checking code which
makes use of a new interface, the `TypeCheckingProgramStrategy`. This
interface abstracts the process of creating a new `ts.Program` to type-check
a particular compilation, and allows the mechanism there to be kept separate
from the more complex logic around dealing with multiple .ngtypecheck files.
A new `TemplateTypeChecker` hosts that logic and interacts with the
`TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` to actually generate and return diagnostics.
The `TypeCheckContext` class, previously the workhorse of template type-
checking, is now solely focused on collecting and generating type-checking
file contents.
A side effect of implementing the new `TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` in this
way is that the API is designed to be suitable for use by the Angular
Language Service as well. The LS also needs to type-check components, but
has its own method for constructing a `ts.Program` with type-checking code.
Note that this commit does not make the actual checking of templates at all
_incremental_ just yet. That will happen in a future commit.

Shim generation was built on a lie.
Shims are files added to the program which aren't original files authored by
the user, but files authored effectively by the compiler. These fall into
two categories: files which will be generated (like the .ngfactory shims we
generate for View Engine compatibility) as well as files used internally in
compilation (like the __ng_typecheck__.ts file).
Previously, shim generation was driven by the `rootFiles` passed to the
compiler as input. These are effectively the `files` listed in the
`tsconfig.json`. Each shim generator (e.g. the `FactoryGenerator`) would
examine the `rootFiles` and produce a list of shim file names which it would
be responsible for generating. These names would then be added to the
`rootFiles` when the program was created.
The fatal flaw here is that `rootFiles` does not always account for all of
the files in the program. In fact, it's quite rare that it does. Users don't
typically specify every file directly in `files`. Instead, they rely on
TypeScript, during program creation, starting with a few root files and
transitively discovering all of the files in the program.
This happens, however, during `ts.createProgram`, which is too late to add
new files to the `rootFiles` list.
As a result, shim generation was only including shims for files actually
listed in the `tsconfig.json` file, and not for the transitive set of files
in the user's program as it should.
This commit completely rewrites shim generation to use a different technique
for adding files to the program, inspired by View Engine's shim generator.
In this new technique, as the program is being created and `ts.SourceFile`s
are being requested from the `NgCompilerHost`, shims for those files are
generated and a reference to them is patched onto the original file's
`ts.SourceFile.referencedFiles`. This causes TS to think that the original
file references the shim, and causes the shim to be included in the program.
The original `referencedFiles` array is saved and restored after program
creation, hiding this little hack from the rest of the system.
The new shim generation engine differentiates between two kinds of shims:
top-level shims (such as the flat module entrypoint file and
__ng_typecheck__.ts) and per-file shims such as ngfactory or ngsummary
files. The former are included via `rootFiles` as before, the latter are
included via the `referencedFiles` of their corresponding original files.
As a result of this change, shims are now correctly generated for all files
in the program, not just the ones named in `tsconfig.json`.
A few mitigating factors prevented this bug from being realized until now:
* in g3, `files` does include the transitive closure of files in the program
* in CLI apps, shims are not really used
This change also makes use of a novel technique for associating information
with source files: the use of an `NgExtension` `Symbol` to patch the
information directly onto the AST object. This is used in several
circumstances:
* For shims, metadata about a `ts.SourceFile`'s status as a shim and its
origins are held in the extension data.
* For original files, the original `referencedFiles` are stashed in the
extension data for later restoration.
The main benefit of this technique is a lot less bookkeeping around `Map`s
of `ts.SourceFile`s to various kinds of data, which need to be tracked/
invalidated as part of incremental builds.
This technique is based on designs used internally in the TypeScript
compiler and is serving as a prototype of this design in ngtsc. If it works
well, it could have benefits across the rest of the compiler.
PR Close#36211
The compiler needs to track the dependencies of a component, including any
NgModules which happen to be present in a component's scope. If an upstream
NgModule changes, any downstream components need to have their templates
re-compiled and re-typechecked.
Previously, the compiler handled this well for the A -> B -> C case where
module A imports module B which re-exports module C. However, it fell apart
in the A -> B -> C -> D case, because previously tracking focused on changes
to components/directives in the scope, and not NgModules specifically.
This commit introduces logic to track which NgModules contributed to a given
scope, and treat them as dependencies of any components within.
This logic also contains a bug, which is intentional for now. It
purposefully does not track transitive dependencies of the NgModules which
contribute to a scope. If it did, using the current dependency system, this
would treat all components and directives (even those not exported into the
scope) as dependencies, causing a major performance bottleneck. Only those
dependencies which contributed to the module's export scope should be
considered, but the current system is incapable of making this distinction.
This will be fixed at a later date.
