Now that other values were removed from `R3ResolvedDependencyType`, its meaning can now be inferred from the other properties in the `R3DeclareDependencyMetadata` type. This commit removes this enum and updates the code to work without it. PR Close #41231
Angular Linker
This package contains a FileLinker
and supporting code to be able to "link" partial declarations of components, directives, etc in libraries to produce the full definitions.
The partial declaration format allows library packages to be published to npm without exposing the underlying Ivy instructions.
The tooling here allows application build tools (e.g. CLI) to produce fully compiled components, directives, etc at the point when the application is bundled.
These linked files can be cached outside node_modules
so it does not suffer from problems of mutating packages in node_modules
.
Generally this tooling will be wrapped in a transpiler specific plugin, such as the provided Babel plugin.
Unit Testing
The unit tests are built and run using Bazel:
yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/linker/test
