Updates to rules_nodejs 2.2.0. This is the first major release in 7 months and includes a number of features as well
as breaking changes.
Release notes: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/releases/tag/2.0.0
Features of note for angular/angular:
* stdout/stderr/exit code capture; this could be potentially be useful
* TypeScript (ts_project); a simpler tsc rule that ts_library that can be used in the repo where ts_library is too
heavy weight
Breaking changes of note for angular/angular:
* loading custom rules from npm packages: `ts_library` is no longer loaded from `@npm_bazel_typescript//:index.bzl`
(which no longer exists) but is now loaded from `@npm//@bazel/typescript:index.bzl`
* with the loading changes above, `load("@npm//:install_bazel_dependencies.bzl", "install_bazel_dependencies")` is
no longer needed in the WORKSPACE which also means that yarn_install does not need to run unless building/testing
a target that depends on @npm. In angular/angular this is a minor improvement as almost everything depends on @npm.
* @angular/bazel package is also updated in this PR to support the new load location; Angular + Bazel users that
require it for ng_package (ng_module is no longer needed in OSS with Angular 10) will need to load from
`@npm//@angular/bazel:index.bzl`. I investigated if it was possible to maintain backward compatability for the old
load location `@npm_angular_bazel` but it is not since the package itself needs to be updated to load from
`@npm//@bazel/typescript:index.bzl` instead of `@npm_bazel_typescript//:index.bzl` as it depends on ts_library
internals for ng_module.
* runfiles.resolve will now throw instead of returning undefined to match behavior of node require
Other changes in angular/angular:
* integration/bazel has been updated to use both ng_module and ts_libary with use_angular_plugin=true.
The latter is the recommended way for rules_nodejs users to compile Angular 10 with Ivy. Bazel + Angular ViewEngine is
supported with @angular/bazel <= 9.0.5 and Angular <= 8. There is still Angular ViewEngine example on rules_nodejs
https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/tree/stable/examples/angular_view_engine on these older versions but users
that want to update to Angular 10 and are on Bazel must switch to Ivy and at that point ts_library with
use_angular_plugin=true is more performant that ng_module. Angular example in rules_nodejs is configured this way
as well: https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/tree/stable/examples/angular. As an aside, we also have an
example of building Angular 10 with architect() rule directly instead of using ts_library with angular plugin:
https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/tree/stable/examples/angular_bazel_architect.
NB: ng_module is still required for angular/angular repository as it still builds ViewEngine & @angular/bazel
also provides the ng_package rule. ng_module can be removed in the future if ViewEngine is no longer needed in
angular repo.
* JSModuleInfo provider added to ng_module. this is for forward compat for future rules_nodejs versions.
@josephperrott, this touches `packages/bazel/src/external.bzl` which will make the sync to g3 non-trivial.
PR Close#37727
The dev-infra package currently uses rollup for packaging. This has been
done initially as a way to workaround manifest paths being used in the
AMD JavaScript output.
The actual solution to this problem is setting module names that match
the `package.json` name. This ensures that the package can be consumed
correctly in Bazel, and through NPM. This allows us to get rid of the
rollup bundling, and we don't need to hard-code which dependencies
should be external or included.
Additionally, tools that are part of `dev-infra` can now specify
their external dependencies simply in the `package.json`. To reduce
version duplication, and out-of-sync versions, a new genrule has been
created that syncs the versions with the top-level project
`package.json`.

After this PR is merged, maintainers no longer need to update .bazelrc
file, toolchain and platform related flags for RBE builds and tests
(unless there is a breaking change in Bazel related to those flags).
Maintainers just need to update the pin of @bazel-toolchains repo
regularly in the packages/bazel/package.bzl file according to
https://releases.bazel.build/bazel-toolchains.html to include the
latest checked-in toolchain configs. If rbe_autoconfig() cannot find
appropriate toolchain configs for the version of Bazel in the version of
@bazel_toolchains repo that is currently used by this project, it will pull
down the container and generate the configs on the fly as the beginning
of the build/test.

Also use it to test the public API for core and common
Once we have an ng_package for every package, we can remove
the npm dependency on ts-api-guardian and the gulp-based
public api check.
PR Close#22544
This helps ensure we use the same tsconfig.json file for all compilations.
Next steps are to make it the same tsconfig.json file used by the editor
