Existing bootstrap code in the wild depends on the existence of .ngfactory files, which Ivy does not need. This commit adds the capability in ngtsc to generate .ngfactory files which bridge existing bootstrap code with Ivy. This is an initial step. Remaining work includes complying with the compiler option to specify a generated file directory, as well as presumably testing in g3. PR Close #25176 |

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.
