Sometimes we need to override module resolution behaviour.
We do this by implementing the optional method `resolveModuleNames()`
on `CompilerHost`.
This commit ensures that we always try this method first before falling
back to the standard `ts.resolveModuleName`
PR Close#30017
Packages that do not follow APF may have the declaration files in the same
directory as one source format, typically ES5. This is problematic for ngcc,
as it needs to create a TypeScript program with all JavaScript sources of
an entry-point, whereas TypeScript's module resolution mechanism would have
resolved an internal module import to the external facing .d.ts declaration
file, instead of the JavaScript source file. This behavior results in the
program to be analysed being incomplete.
This commit introduces a custom compiler host that recognizes the above
scenario and rewires the resolution of a .d.ts declaration file to its
JavaScript counterpart, if applicable.

This commit introduces a new interface, which abstracts access
to the underlying `FileSystem`. There is initially one concrete
implementation, `NodeJsFileSystem`, which is simply wrapping the
`fs` library of NodeJs.
Going forward, we can provide a `MockFileSystem` for test, which
should allow us to stop using `mock-fs` for most of the unit tests.
We could also implement a `CachedFileSystem` that may improve the
performance of ngcc.

By passing a `pathMappings` configuration (a subset of the
`ts.CompilerOptions` interface), we can instuct ngcc to process
additional paths outside the `node_modules` folder.
PR Close#29643
When working out the dependencies between entry-points
ngcc must parse the import statements and then resolve the
import path to the actual file. This is complicated because module
resolution is not trivial.
Previously ngcc used the node.js `require.resolve`, with some
hacking to resolve modules. This change refactors the `DependencyHost`
to use a new custom `ModuleResolver`, which is optimized for this use
case.
Moreover, because we are in full control of the resolution,
we can support TS `paths` aliases, where not all imports come from
`node_modules`. This is the case in some CLI projects where there are
compiled libraries that are stored locally in a `dist` folder.
See //FW-1210.

Previously we completely ignored entry-points that had not been
compiled with Angular, since we do not need to compile them
with ngcc. But this makes it difficult to reason about dependencies
between entry-points that were compiled with Angular and those that
were not.
Now we do track these non-Angular compiled entry-points but they
are marked as `compiledByAngular: false`.
PR Close#29643
The test now attempts to compile an entry-point (@angular/common/http/testing)
that has a transient "private" dependency. A private dependency is one that is
only visible by looking at the compiled JS code, rather than the generated TS
typings files.
This proves that we can't rely on typings files alone for computing the
dependencies between entry-points.

Previously, ngtsc included query fields in the list of fields which can
affect the type of a directive via its type constructor. This feature
however has yet to be built, and View Engine in default mode does not
do this inference.
This caused an unexpected bug where private query fields (which should be
an error but are allowed by View Engine) cause the type constructor
signature to be invalid. This commit fixes that issue by disabling the
logic to include query fields.

ngtsc generates type constructors which infer the type of a directive based
on its inputs. Previously, a bug existed where this inference would fail in
the case of 'any' input values. For example, the inference of NgForOf fails
when an 'any' is provided, as it causes TypeScript to attempt to solve:
T[] = any
In this case, T gets inferred as {}, the empty object type, which is not
desirable.
The fix is to assign generic types in type constructors a default type of
'any', which TypeScript uses instead of {} when inference fails.

ngtsc previously could attempt to reuse the main ts.Program twice. This
occurred when template type-checking was enabled and then an incremental
build was performed. This breaks a TypeScript invariant - ts.Programs can
only be reused once.
The creation of the template type-checking program reuses the main program,
rendering it moot. Then, on the next incremental build the main program
would be subject to reuse again, which would crash inside TypeScript.
This commit fixes the issue by reusing the template type-checking program
from the previous run on the next incremental build. Since under normal
circumstances the files in the type-checking program aren't changed, this
should be just as fast.
Testing strategy: a test is added in the incremental_spec which validates
that program reuse with type-checking turned on does not crash the compiler.

Now that ngtsc performs type checking using a dedicated `__ng_typecheck__.ts`
file, `NgtscProgram` always wraps its `ts.CompilerHost` in a shim host. This
shim fails to delegate `resolveModuleNames` so no custom module resolution
logic is considered. This introduces a problem for the CLI, as the compiler
host it passes kicks of ngcc for any imported module such that Ivy's
compatibility compiler runs automatically behind the scenes.
This commit adds delegation of the `resolveModuleNames` to fix the issue.

The compiler uses metadata to represent what it statically knows about
various expressions in a program. Occasionally, expressions in the program
for which metadata is extracted may contain sub-expressions which are not
representable in metadata. One such construct is an arrow function.
The compiler does not always need to understand such expressions completely.
For example, for a provider defined with `useValue`, the compiler does not
need to understand the value at all, only the outer provider definition. In
this case, the compiler employs a technique known as "expression lowering",
where it rewrites the provider expression into one that can be represented
in metadata. Chiefly, this involves extracting out the dynamic part (the
`useValue` expression) into an exported constant.
Lowering is applied through a heuristic, which considers the containing
statement as well as the field name of the expression.
Previously, this heuristic was not completely accurate in the case of
route definitions and the `loadChildren` field, which is lowered. If the
route definition using `loadChildren` existed inside a decorator invocation,
lowering was performed correctly. However, if it existed inside a standalone
variable declaration with an export keyword, the heuristic would conclude
that lowering was unnecessary. For ordinary providers this is true; however
the compiler attempts to fully understand the ROUTES token and thus even if
an array of routes is declared in an exported variable, any `loadChildren`
expressions within still need to be lowered.
This commit enables lowering of already exported variables under a limited
set of conditions (where the initializer expression is of a specific form).
This should enable the use of `loadChildren` in route definitions.

Previously, a template's context name would only be included in an embedded
template function if the element that the template was declared on has a
tag name. This is generally true for elements, except for `ng-content`
that does not have a tag name. By omitting the context name the compiler
could introduce duplicate template function names, which would fail at runtime.
This commit fixes the behavior by always including the context name in the
template function's name, regardless of tag name.

Previously, all of a program's files would be copied into the __ivy_ngcc__
folder where ngcc then writes its modifications into. The set of source files
in a program however is much larger than the source files contained within
the entry-point of interest, so many more files were copied than necessary.
Even worse, it may occur that an unrelated file in the program would collide
with an already existing source file, resulting in incorrectly overwriting
a file with unrelated content. This behavior has actually been observed
with @angular/animations and @angular/platform-browser/animations, where
the former package would overwrite declaration files of the latter package.
This commit fixes the issue by only copying relevant source files when cloning
a bundle's content into __ivy_ngcc__.

Template type-checking is enabled by default in the View Engine compiler.
The feature in Ivy is not quite ready for this yet, so this flag will
temporarily control whether templates are type-checked in ngtsc.
The goal is to remove this flag after rolling out template type-checking in
google3 in Ivy mode, and making sure the feature is as compatible with the
View Engine implementation as possible.
Initially, the default value of the flag will leave checking disabled.

Previously, Template.templateAttrs was introduced to capture attribute
bindings which originated from microsyntax (e.g. bindings in *ngFor="...").
This means that a Template node can have two different structures, depending
on whether it originated from microsyntax or from a literal <ng-template>.
In the literal case, the node behaves much like an Element node, it has
attributes, inputs, and outputs which determine which directives apply.
In the microsyntax case, though, only the templateAttrs should be used
to determine which directives apply.
Previously, both the t2_binder and the TemplateDefinitionBuilder were using
the wrong set of attributes to match directives - combining the attributes,
inputs, outputs, and templateAttrs of the Template node regardless of its
origin. In the TDB's case this wasn't a problem, since the TDB collects a
global Set of directives used in the template, so it didn't matter whether
the directive was also recognized on the <ng-template>. t2_binder's API
distinguishes between directives on specific nodes, though, so it's more
sensitive to mismatching.
In particular, this showed up as an assertion failure in template type-
checking in certain cases, when a directive was accidentally matched on
a microsyntax template element and also had a binding which referenced a
variable declared in the microsyntax. This resulted in the type-checker
attempting to generate a reference to a variable that didn't exist in that
scope.
The fix is to distinguish between the two cases and select the appropriate
set of attributes to match on accordingly.
Testing strategy: tested in the t2_binder tests.

This commit adds support for template type-checking a pipe binding which
previously was not handled by the type-checking engine. In compatibility
mode, the arguments to transform() are not checked and the type returned
by a pipe is 'any'. In full type-checking mode, the transform() method's
type signature is used to check the pipe usage and infer the return type
of the pipe.
Testing strategy: TCB tests included.
PR Close#29698
The template type-checking engine previously would assemble a type-checking
program by inserting Type Check Blocks (TCBs) into existing user files. This
approach proved expensive, as TypeScript has to re-parse and re-type-check
those files when processing the type-checking program.
Instead, a far more performant approach is to augment the program with a
single type-checking file, into which all TCBs are generated. Additionally,
type constructors are also inlined into this file.
This is not always possible - both TCBs and type constructors can sometimes
require inlining into user code, particularly if bound generic type
parameters are present, so the approach taken is actually a hybrid. These
operations are inlined if necessary, but are otherwise generated in a single
file.
It is critically important that the original program also include an empty
version of the type-checking file, otherwise the shape of the two programs
will be different and TypeScript will throw away all the old program
information. This leads to a painfully slow type checking pass, on the same
order as the original program creation. A shim to generate this file in the
original program is therefore added.
Testing strategy: this commit is largely a refactor with no externally
observable behavioral differences, and thus no tests are needed.
PR Close#29698
This commit adds support in the template type-checking engine for handling
the logical not operation and the safe navigation operation.
Safe navigation in particular is tricky, as the View Engine implementation
has a rather inconvenient flaw. View Engine checks a safe navigation
operation `a?.b` as:
```typescript
(a != null ? a!.b : null as any)
```
The type of this expression is always 'any', as the false branch of the
ternary has type 'any'. Thus, using null-safe navigation throws away the
type of the result, and breaks type-checking for the rest of the expression.
A flag is introduced in the type-checking configuration to allow Ivy to
mimic this behavior when needed.
Testing strategy: TCB tests included.
PR Close#29698
View Engine's implementation of naive template type-checking is less
advanced than the current Ivy implementation. As a result, Ivy catches lots
of typing bugs which VE does not. As a result, it's necessary to tone down
the Ivy template type-checker in the default case.
This commit introduces a mechanism for doing that, by passing a config to
the template type-checking engine. Through this configuration, particular
checks can be loosened or disabled entirely.

Previously the template type-checking code only considered the metadata of
directive classes actually referenced in the template. If those directives
had base classes, any inputs/outputs/etc of the base classes were not
tracked when generating the TCB. This resulted in bindings to those inputs
being incorrectly attributed to the host component or element.
This commit uses the new metadata package to follow directive inheritance
chains and use the full metadata for a directive for TCB generation.
