The type checker had to do extensive work in resolving the
`NodePath.get` method call for the `NodePath` that had an intersection
type of `ts.VariableDeclarator&{init:t.Expression}`. The `NodePath.get`
method is typed using a conditional type which became expensive to
compute with this intersection type. As a workaround, the original
`init` property is explicitly omitted which avoids the performance
cliff. This brings down the compile time by 15s.

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
