Joey Perrott d3b5e5696f style(dev-infra): enforce format on newly included files (#36940)
Historically files to be formatted were added to a listing (via matchers)
to be included in formatting.  Instead, this change begins efforts to
instead include all files in format enforcement, relying instead on an

Andrew Scott d3a817549b fix(router): fix navigation ignoring logic to compare to the browser url (#37408)
This PR changes the logic for determining when to skip route processing from
using the URL of the last attempted navigation to the actual resulting URL after
that transition.

Because guards may prevent navigation and reset the browser URL, the raw
URL of the previous transition may not match the actual URL of the
browser at the end of the navigation process. For that reason, we need to use
`urlAfterRedirects` instead.

Other notes:
These checks in scheduleNavigation were added in eb2ceff4ba
The test still passes and, more surprisingly, passes if the checks are removed
completely. There have likely been changes to the navigation handling that
handle the test in a different way. That said, it still appears to be important
to keep the checks there in some capacity because it does affect how many
navigation events occur. This addresses an issue that came up in #16710: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/16710#issuecomment-634869739
This also partially addresses #13586 in fixing history for imperative
navigations that are cancelled by guards.

George Kalpakas bf682d73d4 fix(ngcc): correctly get config for packages in nested `node_modules/` (#37040)
Previously, ngcc would only be able to match an ngcc configuration to
packages that were located inside the project's top-level
`node_modules/`. However, if there are multiple versions of a package in
a project (e.g. as a transitive dependency of other packages), multiple
copies of a package (at different versions) may exist in nested
`node_modules/` directories. For example, one at
`<project-root>/node_modules/some-package/` and one at
`<project-root>/node_modules/other-package/node_modules/some-package/`.
In such cases, ngcc was only able to detect the config for the first
copy but not for the second.

This commit fixes this by returning a new instance of
`ProcessedNgccPackageConfig` for each different package path (even if
they refer to the same package name). In these
`ProcessedNgccPackageConfig`, the `entryPoints` paths have been
processed to take the package path into account.

George Kalpakas 829ddf95e5 fix(ngcc): correctly retrieve a package's version from its `package.json` (#37040)
In order to retrieve the ngcc configuration (if any) for an entry-point,
ngcc has to detect the containing package's version.

Previously, ngcc would try to read the version from the entry-point's
`package.json` file, which was different than the package's top-level
`package.json` for secondary entry-points. For example, it would try to
read it from `node_modules/@angular/common/http/package.json` for
entry-point `@angular/common/http`. However, the `package.json` files
for secondary entry-points are not guaranteed to include a `version`
property.

This commit fixes this by first trying to read the version from the
_package's_ `package.json` (falling back to the entry-point's
`package.json`). For example, it will first try to read it from
`@angular/common/package.json` for entry-point `@angular/common/http`.

George Kalpakas e7a0e87c41 fix(ngcc): correctly get config for sub-entry-points when primary entry-point is ignored (#37040)
Previously, when an entry-point was ignored via an ngcc config, ngcc
would scan sub-directories for sub-entry-points, but would not use the
correct `packagePath`. For example, if `@angular/common` was ignored, it
would look at `@angular/common/http` but incorrectly use
`.../@angular/common/http` as the `packagePath` (instead of
`.../@angular/common`). As a result, it would not retrieve the correct
ngcc config for the actual package.

This commit fixes it by ensuring the correct `packagePath` is used, even
if the primary entry-point corresponding to that path is ignored. In
order to do this, a new return value for `getEntryPointInfo()` is added:
`IGNORED_ENTRY_POINT`. This is used to differentiate between directories
that correspond to no or an incompatible entry-point and those that
correspond to an entry-point that could otherwise be valid but is
explicitly ignored. Consumers of `getEntryPointInfo()` can then use this
info to discard ignored entry-points, but still use the correct
`packagePath` when scanning their sub-directories for secondary
entry-points.

JiaLiPassion 31796e8e2f fix(zone.js): remove unused Promise overwritten setter logic (#36851)
In the early Zone.js versions (< 0.10.3), `ZoneAwarePromise` did not support `Symbol.species`,
so when user used a 3rd party `Promise` such as `es6-promise`, and try to load the promise library after import of `zone.js`, the loading promise library will overwrite the patched `Promise` from `zone.js` and will break `Promise` semantics with respect to `zone.js`.

Starting with `zone.js` 0.10.3, `Symbol.species` is supported therefore this will not longer be an issue. (https://github.com//pull/34533)

Before 0.10.3, the logic in zone.js tried to handle the case in the wrong way. It did so by overriding the descriptor of `global.Promise`, to allow the 3rd party libraries to override native `Promise` instead of `ZoneAwarePromise`. This is not the correct solution, and since the `Promise.species` is now supported, the 3rd party solution of overriding `global.Promise` is no longer needed.

PR removes the wrong work around logic. (This will improve the bundle size.)

JiaLiPassion 284123c6ba fix(core): should fake a top event task when coalescing events to prevent draining microTaskQueue too early. (#36841)
Close #36839.

This is a known issue of zone.js,

```
(window as any)[(Zone as any).__symbol__('setTimeout')](() => {
  let log = '';
  button.addEventListener('click', () => {
    Zone.current.scheduleMicroTask('test', () => log += 'microtask;');
    log += 'click;';
  });
  button.click();
  expect(log).toEqual('click;microtask;');
  done();
});
```

Since in this case, we use native `setTimeout` which is not a ZoneTask,
so zone.js consider the button click handler as the top Task then drain the
microTaskQueue after the click at once, which is not correct(too early).

This case was an edge case and not reported by the users, until we have the
new option ngZoneEventCoalescing, since the event coalescing will happen
in native requestAnimationFrame, so it will not be a ZoneTask, and zone.js will
consider any Task happen in the change detection stage as the top task, and if
there are any microTasks(such as Promise.then) happen in the process, it may be
drained earlier than it should be, so to prevent this situation, we need to schedule
a fake event task and run the change detection check in this fake event task,
so the Task happen in the change detection stage will not be
considered as top ZoneTask.

Paul Gschwendtner 97dc85ba5e feat(core): support injection token as predicate in queries (#37506)
Currently Angular internally already handles `InjectionToken` as
predicates for queries. This commit exposes this as public API as
developers already relied on this functionality but currently use
workarounds to satisfy the type constraints (e.g. `as any`).

We intend to make this public as it's low-effort to support, and
it's a significant key part for the use of light-weight tokens as
described in the upcoming guide: https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/36144.

In concrete, applications might use injection tokens over classes
for both optional DI and queries, because otherwise such references
cause classes to be always retained. This was also an issue in View
Engine, but now with Ivy, this pattern became worse, as factories are
directly attached to retained classes (ultimately ending up in the
production bundle, while being unused).

More details in the light-weight token guide and in: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/16866.

JiaLiPassion 583a9d38a1 feat(zone.js): upgrade zone.js to angular package format(APF) (#36540)
Close #35157

In the current version of zone.js, zone.js uses it's own package format, and it is not following the rule
of Angualr package format(APF), so it is not easily to be consumed by Angular CLI or other bundle tools.
For example, zone.js npm package has two bundles,

1. zone.js/dist/zone.js, this is a `es5` bundle.
2. zone.js/dist/zone-evergreen.js, this is a `es2015` bundle.

And Angular CLI has to add some hard-coding code to handle this case, o5376a8b139/packages/schematics/angular/application/files/src/polyfills.ts.template (L55-L58)

This PR upgrade zone.js npm package format to follow APF rule, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CZC2rcpxffTDfRDs6p1cfbmKNLA6x5O-NtkJglDaBVs/edit#heading=h.k0mh3o8u5hx

The updated points are:

1. in package.json, update all bundle related properties

```
  "main": "./bundles/zone.umd.js",
  "module": "./fesm2015/zone.js",
  "es2015": "./fesm2015/zone.js",
  "fesm2015": "./fesm2015/zone.js",
```

2. re-organize dist folder, for example for `zone.js` bundle, now we have

```
  dist/
      bundles/
             zone.js            // this is the es5 bundle
      fesm2015/
             zone.js            // this is the es2015 bundle (in the old version is `zone-evergreen.js`)
```

3. have several sub-packages.

1. `zone-testing`, provide zone-testing bundles include zone.js and testing libraries
2. `zone-node`, provide zone.js implemention for NodeJS
3. `zone-mix`, provide zone.js patches for both Browser and NodeJS

All those sub-packages will have their own `package.json` and the bundle will reference `bundles(es5)` and `fesm2015(es2015)`.

4. keep backward compatibility, still keep the `zone.js/dist` folder, and all bundles will be redirected to `zone.js/bundles` or `zone.js/fesm2015` folders.

Pete Bacon Darwin ae364864f6 fix(ngcc): do not scan import expressions in d.ts files (#37503)
It is quite common for the TS compiler to have to add synthetic
types to function signatures, where the developer has not
explicitly provided them.  This results in `import(...)` expressions
appearing in typings files.  For example in `@ngrx/data` there is a
class with a getter that has an implicit type:

```ts
export declare class EntityCollectionServiceBase<...> {
  ...
  get store() {
    return this.dispatcher.store;
  }
  ...
}
```

In the d.ts file for this we get:

```ts
get store(): Store<import("@ngrx/data").EntityCache>;
```

Given that this file is within the `@ngrx/data` package already,
this caused ngcc to believe that there was a circular dependency,
causing it to fail to process the package - and in fact crash!

This commit resolves this problem by ignoring `import()` expressions
when scanning typings programs for dependencies. This ability was
only introduced very recently in a 10.0.0 RC release, and so it has
limited benefit given that up till now ngcc has been able to process
libraries effectively without it. Moreover, in the rare case that a
package does have such a dependency, it should get picked up
by the sync ngcc+CLI integration point.

Paul Gschwendtner 401ef71ae5 fix(compiler-cli): downlevel angular decorators to static properties (#37382)
In v7 of Angular we removed `tsickle` from the default `ngc` pipeline.
This had the negative potential of breaking ES2015 output and SSR due
to a limitation in TypeScript.

TypeScript by default preserves type information for decorated constructor
parameters when `emitDecoratorMetadata` is enabled. For example,
consider this snippet below:

```
@Directive()
export class MyDirective {
  constructor(button: MyButton) {}
}

export class MyButton {}
```

TypeScript would generate metadata for the `MyDirective` class it has
a decorator applied. This metadata would be needed in JIT mode, or
for libraries that provide `MyDirective` through NPM. The metadata would
look as followed:

```
let MyDirective = class MyDir {}

MyDirective = __decorate([
  Directive(),
  __metadata("design:paramtypes", [MyButton]),
], MyDirective);

let MyButton = class MyButton {}
```

Notice that TypeScript generated calls to `__decorate` and
`__metadata`. These calls are needed so that the Angular compiler
is able to determine whether `MyDirective` is actually an directive,
and what types are needed for dependency injection.

The limitation surfaces in this concrete example because `MyButton`
is declared after the `__metadata(..)` call, while `__metadata`
actually directly references `MyButton`. This is illegal though because
`MyButton` has not been declared at this point. This is due to the
so-called temporal dead zone in JavaScript. Errors like followed will
be reported at runtime when such file/code evaluates:

```
Uncaught ReferenceError: Cannot access 'MyButton' before initialization
```

As noted, this is a TypeScript limitation because ideally TypeScript
shouldn't evaluate `__metadata`/reference `MyButton` immediately.
Instead, it should defer the reference until `MyButton` is actually
declared. This limitation will not be fixed by the TypeScript team
though because it's a limitation as per current design and they will
only revisit this once the tc39 decorator proposal is finalized
(currently stage-2 at time of writing).

Given this wontfix on the TypeScript side, and our heavy reliance on
this metadata in libraries (and for JIT mode), we intend to fix this
from within the Angular compiler by downleveling decorators to static
properties that don't need to evaluate directly. For example:

```
MyDirective.ctorParameters = () => [MyButton];
```

With this snippet above, `MyButton` is not referenced directly. Only
lazily when the Angular runtime needs it. This mitigates the temporal
dead zone issue caused by a limitation in TypeScript's decorator
metadata output. See: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/27519.

In the past (as noted; before version 7), the Angular compiler by
default used tsickle that already performed this transformation. We
moved the transformation to the CLI for JIT and `ng-packager`, but now
we realize that we can move this all to a single place in the compiler
so that standalone ngc consumers can benefit too, and that we can
disable tsickle in our Bazel `ngc-wrapped` pipeline (that currently
still relies on tsickle to perform this decorator processing).

This transformation also has another positive side-effect of making
Angular application/library code more compatible with server-side
rendering. In principle, TypeScript would also preserve type information
for decorated class members (similar to how it did that for constructor
parameters) at runtime. This becomes an issue when your application
relies on native DOM globals for decorated class member types. e.g.

```
@Input() panelElement: HTMLElement;
```

Your application code would then reference `HTMLElement` directly
whenever the source file is loaded in NodeJS for SSR. `HTMLElement`
does not exist on the server though, so that will become an invalid
reference. One could work around this by providing global mocks for
these DOM symbols, but that doesn't match up with other places where
dependency injection is used for mocking DOM/browser specific symbols.

More context in this issue: #30586. The TL;DR here is that the Angular
compiler does not care about types for these class members, so it won't
ever reference `HTMLElement` at runtime.

Fixes #30106. Fixes #30586. Fixes #30141.
Resolves FW-2196. Resolves FW-2199.
