Pete Bacon Darwin 88683702e5 refactor(core): rename ...WithMeta types to ...Declaration and alias to unknown (#41119)
These types are only used in the generated typings files to provide
information to the Angular compiler in order that it can compile code
in downstream libraries and applications.

This commit aliases these types to `unknown` to avoid exposing the
previous alias types such as `ɵɵDirectiveDef`, which are internal to
the compiler.

Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc)

This compiler will convert node_modules compiled with ngc, into node_modules which appear to have been compiled with ngtsc.

This conversion will allow such "legacy" packages to be used by the Ivy rendering engine.

Building

The project is built using Bazel:

yarn bazel build //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc

Unit Testing

The unit tests are built and run using Bazel:

yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc/test

Integration Testing

There are tests that check the behavior of the overall executable:

yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc/test:integration
