Alex Rickabaugh 5268ae61a0 feat(ivy): support for template type-checking pipe bindings (#29698)
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.

README.md

fake_core is a library designed to expose some of the same symbols as @angular/core, without requiring compilation of the whole of @angular/core. This enables unit tests for the compiler to be written without incurring long rebuilds for every change.

  • @angular/core is compiled with @angular/compiler-cli, and therefore has an implicit dependency on it. Therefore core must be rebuilt if the compiler changes.
  • Tests for the compiler which intend to build code that depends on @angular/core must have a data dependency on @angular/core. Therefore core must be built to run the compiler tests, and thus rebuilt if the compiler changes.

This rebuild cycle is expensive and slow. fake_core avoids this by exposing a subset of the @angular/core API, which enables applications to be built by the ngtsc compiler without needing a full version of core present at compile time.
