We can remove all of the entry point resolution configuration from the package.json in our source code as ng_package rule adds the properties automatically and correctly configures them. This change simplifies our code base but doesn't have any impact on the package.json in the distributed npm_packages. PR Close #36944 |

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/coreis 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/coremust 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.
