When using the safe navigation operator in a binding expression, a temporary variable may be used for storing the result of a side-effectful call. For example, the following template uses a pipe and a safe property access: ```html <app-person-view [enabled]="enabled" [firstName]="(person$ | async)?.name"></app-person-view> ``` The result of the pipe evaluation is stored in a temporary to be able to check whether it is present. The temporary variable needs to be declared in a separate statement and this would also cause the full expression itself to be pulled out into a separate statement. This would compile into the following pseudo-code instructions: ```js var temp = null; var firstName = (temp = pipe('async', ctx.person$)) == null ? null : temp.name; property('enabled', ctx.enabled)('firstName', firstName); ``` Notice that the pipe evaluation happens before evaluating the `enabled` binding, such that the runtime's internal binding index would correspond with `enabled`, not `firstName`. This introduces a problem when the pipe uses `WrappedValue` to force a change to be detected, as the runtime would then mark the binding slot corresponding with `enabled` as dirty, instead of `firstName`. This results in the `enabled` binding to be updated, triggering setters and affecting how `OnChanges` is called. In the pseudo-code above, the intermediate `firstName` variable is not strictly necessary---it only improved readability a bit---and emitting it inline with the binding itself avoids the out-of-order execution of the pipe: ```js var temp = null; property('enabled', ctx.enabled) ('firstName', (temp = pipe('async', ctx.person$)) == null ? null : temp.name); ``` This commit introduces a new `BindingForm` that results in the above code to be generated and adds compiler and acceptance tests to verify the proper behavior.
