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.

Prior to this change, the RegExp that was used to check for dashes in field names used "g" (global) flag that retains lastIndex, which might result in skipping some fields that should be wrapped in quotes (since lastIndex advanced beyond the next "-" location). This commit removes this flag and updates the test to make sure there are no regressions.

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.

This change is kind of similar to #27466, but instead of ensuring that
these shims can be generated, we also need to make sure that developers
are able to also use the factory shims like with `ngc`.
This issue is now surfacing because we have various old examples which
are now also built with `ngtsc` (due to the bazel migration). On case insensitive
platforms (e.g. windows) these examples cannot be built because ngtsc fails
the app imports a generated shim file (such as the factory shim files).
This is because the `GeneratedShimsHostWrapper` TypeScript host uses
the `getCanonicalFileName` method in order to check whether a given
file/module exists in the generator file maps. e.g.
```
// Generator Map:
'C:/users/paul/_bazel_paul/lm3s4mgv/execroot/angular/packages/core/index.ngfactory.ts' =>
'C:/users/paul/_bazel_paul/lm3s4mgv/execroot/angular/packages/core/index.ts',
// Path passed into `fileExists`
C:/users/paul/_bazel_paul/lm3s4mgv/execroot/angular/packages/core/index.ngfactory.ts
// After getCanonicalFileName (notice the **lower-case drive name**)
c:/users/paul/_bazel_paul/lm3s4mgv/execroot/angular/packages/core/index.ngfactory.ts
```
As seen above, the generator map does not use the canonical file names, as well as
TypeScript internally does not pass around canonical file names. We can fix this by removing
the manual call to `getCanonicalFileName` and just following TypeScript internal-semantics.

Currently if developers use call expressions in their static
class members ([like we do in Angular](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/packages/core/src/change_detection/differs/keyvalue_differs.ts#L121)),
the metadata that is generated for flat modules is invalid. This
is because the metadata bundler logic currently does not handle
call expressions in static class members and the symbol references
are not rewritten to avoid relative paths in the bundle.
Static class members using a call expression are not relevant for
the ViewEngine AOT compilation, but it is problematic that the
bundled metadata references modules using their original relative
path. This means that the bundled metadata is no longer encapsulated
and depends on other emitted files to be emitted in the proper place.
These incorrect relative paths can now cause issues where NGC
looks for the referenced symbols in the incorrect path. e.g.
```
src/
| lib/
| index.ts -> References the call expression using `../../di`
```
Now the metadata looks like that:
```
node_modules/
| @angular/
-- | core/
-- -- | core.metadata.json -> Says that the call expr. is in `../../di`.
| di/
```
Now if NGC tries to use the metadata files and create the summary files,
NGC resolves the call expression to the `node_modules/di` module. Since
the "unexpected" module does not contain the desired symbol, NGC will
error out.
We should fix this by ensuring that we don't ship corrupted metadata
to NPM which contains relative references that can cause such
failures (other imports can be affected as well; it depends on what
modules the developer has installed and how we import our call
expressions).

Previously, ngtsc would throw an error if two decorators were matched on
the same class simultaneously. However, @Injectable is a special case, and
it appears frequently on component, directive, and pipe classes. For pipes
in particular, it's a common pattern to treat the pipe class also as an
injectable service.
ngtsc actually lacked the capability to compile multiple matching
decorators on a class, so this commit adds support for that. Decorator
handlers (and thus the decorators they match) are classified into three
categories: PRIMARY, SHARED, and WEAK.
PRIMARY handlers compile decorators that cannot coexist with other primary
decorators. The handlers for Component, Directive, Pipe, and NgModule are
marked as PRIMARY. A class may only have one decorator from this group.
SHARED handlers compile decorators that can coexist with others. Injectable
is the only decorator in this category, meaning it's valid to put an
@Injectable decorator on a previously decorated class.
WEAK handlers behave like SHARED, but are dropped if any non-WEAK handler
matches a class. The handler which compiles ngBaseDef is WEAK, since
ngBaseDef is only needed if a class doesn't otherwise have a decorator.
Tests are added to validate that @Injectable can coexist with the other
decorators and that an error is generated when mixing the primaries.
PR Close#28523
In the past, @Injectable had no side effects and existing Angular code is
therefore littered with @Injectable usage on classes which are not intended
to be injected.
A common example is:
@Injectable()
class Foo {
constructor(private notInjectable: string) {}
}
and somewhere else:
providers: [{provide: Foo, useFactory: ...})
Here, there is no need for Foo to be injectable - indeed, it's impossible
for the DI system to create an instance of it, as it has a non-injectable
constructor. The provider configures a factory for the DI system to be
able to create instances of Foo.
Adding @Injectable in Ivy signifies that the class's own constructor, and
not a provider, determines how the class will be created.
This commit adds logic to compile classes which are marked with @Injectable
but are otherwise not injectable, and create an ngInjectableDef field with
a factory function that throws an error. This way, existing code in the wild
continues to compile, but if someone attempts to use the injectable it will
fail with a useful error message.
In the case where strictInjectionParameters is set to true, a compile-time
error is thrown instead of the runtime error, as ngtsc has enough
information to determine when injection couldn't possibly be valid.

With #28594 we refactored the `@angular/compiler` slightly to
allow opting out from external symbol re-exports which are
enabled by default.
Since symbol re-exports only benefit projects which have a
very strict dependency enforcement, external symbols should
not be re-exported by default as this could grow the size of
factory files and cause unexpected behavior with Angular's
AOT symbol resolving (e.g. see: #25644).
Note that the common strict dependency enforcement for source
files does still work with external symbol re-exports disabled,
but there are also strict dependency checks that enforce strict
module dependencies also for _generated files_ (such as the
ngfactory files). This is how Google3 manages it's dependencies
and therefore external symbol re-exports need to be enabled within
Google3.
Also "ngtsc" also does not provide any way of using external symbol
re-exports, so this means that with this change, NGC can partially
match the behavior of "ngtsc" then (unless explicitly opted-out).
As mentioned before, internally at Google symbol re-exports need to
be still enabled, so the `ng_module` Bazel rule will enable the symbol
re-exports by default when running within Blaze.

Previously, using a pipe in an input binding on an ng-template would
evaluate the pipe in the context of node that was processed before the
template. This caused the retrieval of e.g. ChangeDetectorRef to be
incorrect, resulting in one of the following bugs depending on the
template's structure:
1. If the template was at the root of a view, the previously processed
node would be the component's host node outside of the current view.
Accessing that node in the context of the current view results in a crash.
2. For templates not at the root, the ChangeDetectorRef injected into the
pipe would correspond with the previously processed node. If that node
hosts a component, the ChangeDetectorRef would not correspond with the
view that the ng-template is part of.
The solution to the above problem is two-fold:
1. Template compilation is adjusted such that the template instruction
is emitted before any instructions produced by input bindings, such as
pipes. This ensures that pipes are evaluated in the context of the
template's container node.
2. A ChangeDetectorRef can be requested for container nodes.

During analysis, the `ComponentDecoratorHandler` passes the component
template to the `parseTemplate()` function. Previously, there was little or
no information about the original source file, where the template is found,
passed when calling this function.
Now, we correctly compute the URL of the source of the template, both
for external `templateUrl` and in-line `template` cases. Further in the
in-line template case we compute the character range of the template
in its containing source file; *but only in the case that the template is
a simple string literal*. If the template is actually a dynamic value like
an interpolated string or a function call, then we do not try to add the
originating source file information.
The translator that converts Ivy AST nodes to TypeScript now adds these
template specific source mappings, which account for the file where
the template was found, to the templates to support stepping through the
template creation and update code when debugging an Angular application.
Note that some versions of TypeScript have a bug which means they cannot
support external template source-maps. We check for this via the
`canSourceMapExternalTemplates()` helper function and avoid trying to
add template mappings to external templates if not supported.
