Within an angular template, when a character entity is unable to be parsed, previously a generic
unexpected character error was thrown. This does not properly express the issue that was discovered
as the issue is actually caused by the discovered character making the whole of the entity unparsable.
The compiler will now instead inform via the error message what string was attempted to be parsed
and what it was attempted to be parsed as.
Example, for this template:
```
<p>
ģp
</p>
```
Before this change:
`Unexpected character "p"`
After this change:
`Unable to parse entity "ģp" - hexadecimal character reference entities must end with ";"`

This commit fixes a bug in View Engine whereby the compiler errorneously
thinks that a method of a component has decorator metadata when that
method is one of those in `Object.prototype`, for example `toString`.
This bug is discovered in v10.0.4 of `@angular/language-service` after
the default bundle format was switched from ES5 to ES2015.
ES5 output:
```js
if (propMetadata[propName]) {
decorators.push.apply(decorators, __spread(propMetadata[propName]));
}
```
ES2015 output:
```js
if (propMetadata[propName]) {
decorators.push(...propMetadata[propName]);
}
```
The bug was not discovered in ES5 because the polyfill for the spread
operator happily accepts parameters that do not have the `iterable`
symbol:
```js
function __spread() {
for (var ar = [], i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++)
ar = ar.concat(__read(arguments[i]));
return ar;
}
```
whereas in es2015 it’ll fail since the iterable symbol is not present in
`propMetadata['toString']` which evaluates to a function.

This allows Closure compiler to tree shake unused constructor calls to `NgModuleFactory`, which is otherwise considered
side-effectful. The Angular compiler generates factory objects which are exported but typically not used, as they are
only needed for compatibility with View Engine. This results in top-level constructor calls, such as:
```typescript
export const FooNgFactory = new NgModuleFactory(Foo);
```
`NgModuleFactory` has a side-effecting constructor, so this statement cannot be tree shaken, even if `FooNgFactory` is
never imported. The `NgModuleFactory` continues to reference its associated `NgModule` and prevents the module and all
its unused dependencies from being tree shaken. This effectively prevents all components from being tree shaken, making
Closure builds significantly larger than they should be.
The fix here is to wrap `NgModuleFactory` constructor with `noSideEffects(() => /* ... */)`, which tricks the Closure
compiler into assuming that the invoked function has no side effects. This allows it to tree-shake unused
`NgModuleFactory()` constructors when they aren't imported. Since the factory can be removed, the module can also be
removed (if nothing else references it), thus tree shaking unused components as expected.

Large strings constants are now wrapped in a function which is called whenever used. This works around a unique
limitation of Closure, where it will **always** inline string literals at **every** usage, regardless of how large the
string literal is or how many times it is used.The workaround is to use a function rather than a string literal.
Closure has differently inlining semantics for functions, where it will check the length of the function and the number
of times it is used before choosing to inline it. By using a function, `ngtsc` makes Closure more conservative about
inlining large strings, and avoids blowing up the bundle size.This optimization is only used if the constant is a large
string. A wrapping function is not included for other use cases, since it would just increase the bundle size and add
unnecessary runtime performance overhead.

This commit simplifies the creation of the temporary, hidden
`<textarea>` element used by `CopierService` by switching from absolute
to fixed positioning and not requiring page's scroll offset.
It also makes the following minor improvements:
- Make the element invisible (via `opacity: 0`).
- Instruct screen-readers to ignore the element (via
`aria-hidden: true`).
NOTE: These improvements are based on Angular CDK's [PendingCopy][1]
class and the changes proposed in PR angular/components#20073.

PR Close#38244
The `CopierService` is used for copying text to the user's clipboard. It
is, for example, used in `CodeComponent` to copy example code snippets.
This is implemented by creating a temporary, hidden `<textarea>`
elements, setting its value to the text that needs to be copied,
executing the `copy` command and finally removing the element from the
DOM.
Previously, as a result of `CopierService`'s implementation, the focused
element would lose focus, while the temporary `<textarea>` element would
implicitly gain focus when selecting its contents. This had an even
worse side-effect on IE11, which seems to scroll to the bottom of the
containing element (here `<body>`) when the focused element is removed.
This commit fixes these issues by keeping track of the previously
focused element and restoring its focus after the copy operation.
NOTE: This fix is inspired by Angular CDK's [PendingCopy][1] class.

This commit adds a method `getDiagnosticsForComponent` to the
`TemplateTypeChecker`, which does the minimum amount of work to retrieve
diagnostics for a single component.
With the normal `ReusedProgramStrategy` this offers virtually no improvement
over the standard `getDiagnosticsForFile` operation, but if the
`TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` supports separate shims for each component,
this operation can yield a faster turnaround for components that are
declared in files with many other components.
PR Close#38105
Previously, a stable template id was implemented for each component in a
file. This commit adds this id to each `TemplateDiagnostic` generated from
the template type-checker, so it can potentially be used for filtration.
PR Close#38105
This commit adds an `overrideComponentTemplate` operation to the template
type-checker. This operation changes the template used during template
type-checking operations.
Overriding a template causes any previous work for it to be discarded, and
the template type-checking engine will regenerate the TCB for that template
on the next request.
This operation can be used by a consumer such as the language service to
get rapid feedback or diagnostics as the user is editing a template file,
without the need for a full incremental build iteration.
Closes#38058
PR Close#38105
Previously, the `TemplateTypeChecker` abstraction allowed fetching
diagnostics for a single file, but under the hood would generate type
checking code for the entire program to satisfy the request.
With this commit, an `OptimizeFor` hint is passed to `getDiagnosticsForFile`
which indicates whether the user intends to request diagnostics for the
whole program or is truly interested in just the single file. If the latter,
the `TemplateTypeChecker` can perform only the work needed to produce
diagnostics for just that file, thus returning answers more efficiently.
PR Close#38105
The template type-checking engine relies on the abstraction interface
`TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` to create updated `ts.Program`s for
template type-checking. The basic API is that the type-checking engine
requests changes to certain files in the program, and the strategy provides
an updated `ts.Program`.
Typically, such changes are made to 'ngtypecheck' shim files, but certain
conditions can cause template type-checking to require "inline" operations,
which change user .ts files instead. The strategy used by 'ngc' (the
`ReusedProgramStrategy`) supports these kinds of updates, but other clients
such as the language service might not always support modifying user files.
To accommodate this, the `TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` interface was
modified to include a `supportsInlineOperations` flag. If an implementation
specifies `false` for inline support, the template type-checking system will
return diagnostics on components which would otherwise require inline
operations.
Closes#38059
PR Close#38105
This commit significantly refactors the 'typecheck' package to introduce a
new abstraction, the `TemplateTypeChecker`. To achieve this:
* a 'typecheck:api' package is introduced, containing common interfaces that
consumers of the template type-checking infrastructure can depend on
without incurring a dependency on the template type-checking machinery as
a whole.
* interfaces for `TemplateTypeChecker` and `TypeCheckContext` are introduced
which contain the abstract operations supported by the implementation
classes `TemplateTypeCheckerImpl` and `TypeCheckContextImpl` respectively.
* the `TemplateTypeChecker` interface supports diagnostics on a whole
program basis to start with, but the implementation is purposefully
designed to support incremental diagnostics at a per-file or per-component
level.
* `TemplateTypeChecker` supports direct access to the type check block of a
component.
* the testing utility is refactored to be a lot more useful, and new tests
are added for the new abstraction.
PR Close#38105
Previously in the template type-checking engine, it was assumed that every
input file would have an associated type-checking shim. The type check block
code for all components in the input file would be generated into this shim.
This is fine for whole-program type checking operations, but to support the
language service's requirements for low latency, it would be ideal to be
able to check a single component in isolation, especially if the component
is declared along with many others in a single file.
This commit removes the assumption that the file/shim mapping is 1:1, and
introduces the concept of component-to-shim mapping. Any
`TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` must provide such a mapping.
To achieve this:
* type checking record information is now split into file-level data as
well as per-shim data.
* components are now assigned a stable `TemplateId` which is unique to the
file in which they're declared.

When the `NgIf` directive is used in a template, its context variables
can be used to capture the bound value. This is sometimes used in
complex expressions, 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="enabled && user as u">{{u.name}}</span>
```
2. Binding to `NgIfContext.$implicit` using the `let` syntax:
```html
<span *ngIf="enabled && user; let u">{{u.name}}</span>
```
Because of the semantics of `ngIf`, it is known that the captured
context variable is truthy, however the template type checker
would not consider them as such and still report errors when
`strict` is enabled.
This commit updates `NgIf`'s context guard to make the types of the
context variables truthy, avoiding the issue.
