Currently, when Angular code is built with Bazel and with Ivy, generated
factory shims (.ngfactory files) are not processed via the majority of
tsickle's transforms. This is a subtle effect of the build infrastructure,
but it boils down to a TsickleHost method `shouldSkipTsickleProcessing`.
For ngc_wrapped builds (Bazel + Angular), this method is defined in the
`@bazel/typescript` (aka bazel rules_typescript) implementation of
`CompilerHost`. The default behavior is to skip tsickle processing for files
which are not present in the original `srcs[]` of the build rule. In
Angular's case, this includes all generated shim files.
For View Engine factories this is probably desirable as they're quite
complex and they've never been tested with tsickle. Ivy factories however
are smaller and very straightforward, and it makes sense to treat them like
any other output.
This commit adjusts two independent implementations of
`shouldSkipTsickleProcessing` to enable transformation of Ivy shims:
* in `@angular/bazel` aka ngc_wrapped, the upstream `@bazel/typescript`
`CompilerHost` is patched to treat .ngfactory files the same as their
original source file, with respect to tsickle processing.
It is currently not possible to test this change as we don't have any test
that inspects tsickle output with bazel. It will be extensively tested in
g3.
* in `ngc`, Angular's own implementation is adjusted to allow for the
processing of shims when compiling with Ivy. This enables a unit test to
be written to validate the correct behavior of tsickle when given a host
that's appropriately configured to process factory shims.
For ngtsc-as-a-plugin, a similar fix will need to be submitted upstream in
tsc_wrapped.
