For this to work you need to have custom

for these new entry-points.
The Angular CLI does this already, so it is
safe to use this option if the project is
being built via the CLI. [boolean]

message ids to
be rendered. For example, if you are not
using legacy message ids in your
translation files
AND are not doing compile-time inlining of
translations, in which case the extra
message ids
would add unwanted size to the final source
bundle.
It is safe to leave this set to true if you
are doing compile-time inlining because the
extra
legacy message ids will all be stripped
during translation.
[boolean] [default: true]
--async Whether to compile asynchronously. This is
enabled by default as it allows
compilations to be parallelized.
Disabling asynchronous compilation may be

This commit adds support in the Angular monorepo and in the Angular
compiler(s) for TypeScript 3.8. All packages can now compile with
TS 3.8.
For most of the repo, only a handful few typings adjustments were needed:
* TS 3.8 has a new `CustomElementConstructor` DOM type, which enforces a
zero-argument constructor. The `NgElementConstructor` type previously
declared a required `injector` argument despite the fact that its
implementation allowed `injector` to be optional. The interface type was
updated to reflect the optionality of the argument.
* Certain error messages were changed, and expectations in tests were
updated as a result.
* tsserver (part of language server) now returns performance information in
responses, so test expectations were changed to only assert on the actual
body content of responses.
For compiler-cli and schematics (which use the TypeScript AST) a major
breaking change was the introduction of the export form:
```typescript
export * as foo from 'bar';
```
This is a `ts.NamespaceExport`, and the `exportClause` of a
`ts.ExportDeclaration` can now take this type as well as `ts.NamedExports`.
This broke a lot of places where `exportClause` was assumed to be
`ts.NamedExports`.
For the most part these breakages were in cases where it is not necessary
to handle the new `ts.NamedExports` anyway. ngtsc's design uses the
`ts.TypeChecker` APIs to understand syntax and so automatically supports the
new form of exports.
The View Engine compiler on the other hand extracts TS structures into
metadata.json files, and that format was not designed for namespaced
exports. As a result it will take a nontrivial amount of work if we want to
support such exports in View Engine. For now, these new exports are not
accounted for in metadata.json, and so using them in "folded" Angular
expressions will result in errors (probably claiming that the referenced
exported namespace doesn't exist).
Care was taken to only use TS APIs which are present in 3.7/3.6, as Angular
needs to remain compatible with these for the time being.

Prior to this commit, while calculating the scope for a module, Ivy compiler processed `declarations` field first and `imports` after that. That results in a couple issues:
* for Pipes with the same `name` and present in `declarations` and in an imported module, Pipe from imported module was selected. In View Engine the logic is opposite: Pipes from `declarations` field receive higher priority.
* for Directives with the same selector and present in `declarations` and in an imported module, we first invoked the logic of a Directive from `declarations` field and after that - imported Directive logic. In View Engine, it was the opposite and the logic of a Directive from the `declarations` field was invoked last.
In order to align Ivy and View Engine behavior, this commit updates the logic in which we populate module scope: we first process all imports and after that handle `declarations` field. As a result, in Ivy both use-cases listed above work similar to View Engine.

Currently, when Angular code is built with Bazel and with Ivy, generated
factory shims (.ngfactory files) are not processed via the majority of
tsickle's transforms. This is a subtle effect of the build infrastructure,
but it boils down to a TsickleHost method `shouldSkipTsickleProcessing`.
For ngc_wrapped builds (Bazel + Angular), this method is defined in the
`@bazel/typescript` (aka bazel rules_typescript) implementation of
`CompilerHost`. The default behavior is to skip tsickle processing for files
which are not present in the original `srcs[]` of the build rule. In
Angular's case, this includes all generated shim files.
For View Engine factories this is probably desirable as they're quite
complex and they've never been tested with tsickle. Ivy factories however
are smaller and very straightforward, and it makes sense to treat them like
any other output.
This commit adjusts two independent implementations of
`shouldSkipTsickleProcessing` to enable transformation of Ivy shims:
* in `@angular/bazel` aka ngc_wrapped, the upstream `@bazel/typescript`
`CompilerHost` is patched to treat .ngfactory files the same as their
original source file, with respect to tsickle processing.
It is currently not possible to test this change as we don't have any test
that inspects tsickle output with bazel. It will be extensively tested in
g3.
* in `ngc`, Angular's own implementation is adjusted to allow for the
processing of shims when compiling with Ivy. This enables a unit test to
be written to validate the correct behavior of tsickle when given a host
that's appropriately configured to process factory shims.
For ngtsc-as-a-plugin, a similar fix will need to be submitted upstream in
tsc_wrapped.

When the `NgIf` directive is used in a template, its context variables
can be used to capture the bound value. This is typically used together
with a pipe or function call, where the resulting value is captured in a
context variable. There's two syntax forms available:
1. Binding to `NgIfContext.ngIf` using the `as` syntax:
```html
<span *ngIf="(user$ | async) as user">{{user.name}}</span>
```
2. Binding to `NgIfContext.$implicit` using the `let` syntax:
```html
<span *ngIf="user$ | async; let user">{{user.name}}</span>
```
Because of the semantics of `ngIf`, it is known that the captured
context variable is non-nullable, however the template type checker
would not consider them as such and still report errors when
`strictNullTypes` is enabled.
This commit updates `NgIf`'s context guard to make the types of the
context variables non-nullable, avoiding the issue.

For view and content queries, the Ivy compiler attempts to statically
evaluate the predicate token so that string predicates containing
comma-separated reference names can be split into an array of strings
during compilation. When the predicate is a dynamic value that cannot be
statically interpreted at compile time, the compiler would previously
produce an error. This behavior breaks a use-case where an `InjectionToken`
is being used as query predicate, as the usage of the `new` keyword
prevents such predicates from being statically evaluated.
This commit changes the behavior to no longer produce an error for
dynamic values. Instead, the expression is emitted as is into the
generated code, postponing the evaluation to happen at runtime.

It's possible to pass a directive as an input to itself. Consider:
```html
<some-cmp #ref [value]="ref">
```
Since the template type-checker attempts to infer a type for `<some-cmp>`
using the values of its inputs, this creates a circular reference where the
type of the `value` input is used in its own inference:
```typescript
var _t0 = SomeCmp.ngTypeCtor({value: _t0});
```
Obviously, this doesn't work. To resolve this, the template type-checker
used to generate a `null!` expression when a reference would otherwise be
circular:
```typescript
var _t0 = SomeCmp.ngTypeCtor({value: null!});
```
This effectively asks TypeScript to infer a value for this context, and
works well to resolve this simple cycle. However, if the template
instead tries to use the circular value in a larger expression:
```html
<some-cmp #ref [value]="ref.prop">
```
The checker would generate:
```typescript
var _t0 = SomeCmp.ngTypeCtor({value: (null!).prop});
```
In this case, TypeScript can't figure out any way `null!` could have a
`prop` key, and so it infers `never` as the type. `(never).prop` is thus a
type error.
This commit implements a better fallback pattern for circular references to
directive types like this. Instead of generating a `null!` in place for the
reference, a type is inferred by calling the type constructor again with
`null!` as its input. This infers the widest possible type for the directive
which is then used to break the cycle:
```typescript
var _t0 = SomeCmp.ngTypeCtor(null!);
var _t1 = SomeCmp.ngTypeCtor({value: _t0.prop});
```
This has the desired effect of validating that `.prop` is legal for the
directive type (the type of `#ref`) while also avoiding a cycle.

Under View Engine's default (non-fullTemplateTypeCheck) checking, object and
array literals which appear in templates are treated as having type `any`.
This allows a number of patterns which would not otherwise compile, such as
indexing an object literal by a string:
```html
{{ {'a': 1, 'b': 2}[value] }}
```
(where `value` is `string`)
Ivy, meanwhile, has always inferred strong types for object literals, even
in its compatibility mode. This commit fixes the bug, and adds the
`strictLiteralTypes` flag to specifically control this inference. When the
flag is `false` (in compatibility mode), object and array literals receive
the `any` type.
PR Close#35462
In its default compatibility mode, the Ivy template type-checker attempts to
emulate the View Engine default mode as accurately as is possible. This
commit addresses a gap in this compatibility that stems from a View Engine
type-checking bug.
Consider two template expressions:
```html
{{ obj?.field }}
{{ fn()?.field }}
```
and suppose that the type of `obj` and `fn()` are the same - both return
either `null` or an object with a `field` property.
Under View Engine, these type-check differently. The `obj` case will catch
if the object type (when not null) does not have a `field` property, while
the `fn()` case will not. This is due to how View Engine represents safe
navigations:
```typescript
// for the 'obj' case
(obj == null ? null as any : obj.field)
// for the 'fn()' case
let tmp: any;
((tmp = fn()) == null ? null as any : tmp.field)
```
Because View Engine uses the same code generation backend as it does to
produce the runtime code for this expression, it uses a ternary for safe
navigation, with a temporary variable to avoid invoking 'fn()' twice. The
type of this temporary variable is 'any', however, which causes the
`tmp.field` check to be meaningless.
Previously, the Ivy template type-checker in compatibility mode assumed that
`fn()?.field` would always check for the presence of 'field' on the non-null
result of `fn()`. This commit emulates the View Engine bug in Ivy's
compatibility mode, so an 'any' type will be inferred under the same
conditions.
As part of this fix, a new format for safe navigation operations in template
type-checking code is introduced. This is based on the realization that
ternary based narrowing is unnecessary.
For the `fn()` case in strict mode, Ivy now generates:
```typescript
(null as any ? fn()!.field : undefined)
```
This effectively uses the ternary operator as a type "or" operation. The
resulting type will be a union of the type of `fn()!.field` with
`undefined`.
For the `fn()` case in compatibility mode, Ivy now emulates the bug with:
```typescript
(fn() as any).field
```
The cast expression includes the call to `fn()` and allows it to be checked
while still returning a type of `any` from the expression.
For the `obj` case in compatibility mode, Ivy now generates:
```typescript
(obj!.field as any)
```
This cast expression still returns `any` for its type, but will check for
the existence of `field` on the type of `obj!`.

In ES5 code, TypeScript requires certain helpers (such as
`__spreadArrays()`) to be able to support ES2015+ features. These
helpers can be either imported from `tslib` (by setting the
`importHelpers` TS compiler option to `true`) or emitted inline (by
setting the `importHelpers` and `noEmitHelpers` TS compiler options to
`false`, which is the default value for both).
Ngtsc's `StaticInterpreter` (which is also used during ngcc processing)
is able to statically evaluate some of these helpers (currently
`__assign()`, `__spread()` and `__spreadArrays()`), as long as
`ReflectionHost#getDefinitionOfFunction()` correctly detects the
declaration of the helper. For this to happen, the left-hand side of the
corresponding call expression (i.e. `__spread(...)` or
`tslib.__spread(...)`) must be evaluated as a function declaration for
`getDefinitionOfFunction()` to be called with.
In the case of imported helpers, the `tslib.__someHelper` expression was
resolved to a function declaration of the form
`export declare function __someHelper(...args: any[][]): any[];`, which
allows `getDefinitionOfFunction()` to correctly map it to a TS helper.
In contrast, in the case of emitted helpers (and regardless of the
module format: `CommonJS`, `ESNext`, `UMD`, etc.)), the `__someHelper`
identifier was resolved to a variable declaration of the form
`var __someHelper = (this && this.__someHelper) || function () { ... }`,
which upon further evaluation was categorized as a `DynamicValue`
(prohibiting further evaluation by the `getDefinitionOfFunction()`).
As a result of the above, emitted TypeScript helpers were not evaluated
in ES5 code.

This commit changes the detection of TS helpers to leverage the existing
`KnownFn` feature (previously only used for built-in functions).

The `KnownDeclaration`s are then mapped to `KnownFn`s in

involving any kind of TS helpers.

When statically evaluating CommonJS code it is possible to find that we
are looking for the declaration of an identifier that actually came from
a typings file (rather than a CommonJS file).
Previously, the CommonJS reflection host would always try to use a
CommonJS specific algorithm for finding identifier declarations, but
when the id is actually in a typings file this resulted in the returned
declaration being the containing file of the declaration rather than the
declaration itself.

containing the identifier is a typings file and use the appropriate
stategy.

In #33705 we made it so that we generate pure functions for object/array literals in order to avoid having them be shared across elements/views. The problem this introduced is that further down the line the `ContantPool` uses the generated literal in order to figure out whether to share an existing factory or to create a new one. `ConstantPool` determines whether to share a factory by creating a key from the AST node and using it to look it up in the factory cache, however the key generation function didn't handle function invocations and replaced them with `null`. This means that the key for `{foo: pureFunction0(...)}` and `{foo: null}` are the same.
These changes rework the logic so that instead of generating a `null` key
for function invocations, we generate a variable called `<unknown>` which
shouldn't be able to collide with anything.
