Pete Bacon Darwin c016066d9b fix(ivy): ngcc should not break lifecycle hooks (#26856)
Previously the ivy definition calls we going directly after the
class constructor function But this meant that the lifecycle
hooks attached to the prototype were ignored by the ngtsc
compiler.

Now the definitions are written to the end of the IIFE block,
just before the return statement.

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.

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

Unit Testing

The unit tests are built and run using Bazel:

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