The `template` and `isInline` fields were previously stored in a nested object, which was initially done to accommodate for additional template information to support accurate source maps for external templates. In the meantime the source mapping has been accomplished in a different way, and I feel this flattened structure is simpler and smaller so is preferable over the nested object. This change also makes the `isInline` property optional with a default value of `false`. PR Close #40383
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
