By adding attributes on the <ng-content> element template authors
can decide how content should be re-projected (or, in other words:
which selectors should match re-projected content).
PR Close#21935
This change makes the code cleaner for the user. It does mean
a little bit more work for us since we have to patch the `type` back
into the `DirectiveDef`. However since the patching happens only once
on startup it should not be significant.
PR Close#21374
This separation is no longer needed since directives are now passed into the `container` as an array rather than as child functions of the `containerStart`
PR Close#21374
We used to have a separate `directive` instruction for instantiating
directives. However, such an instruction requires that directives
are created in the correct order, which would require that template
compiler would have knowledge of all dependent directives. This
would break template compilation locality principle.
This change only changes the APIs to expected form but does
not change the semantics. The semantics will need to be corrected
in subsequent commits. The semantic change needed is to
resolve the directive instantiation error at runtime based on
injection dependencies.
