Currently it is impossible to determine the source of a binding that
generates `BoundAttribute` because all bound attributes generated from a
microsyntax expression share the same source span.
For example, in
```html
<div *ngFor="let item of items; trackBy: trackByFn"></div>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
source span for all `BoundAttribute`s generated from microsyntax
```
the `BoundAttribute` for both `ngForOf` and `ngForTrackBy`
share the same source span.
A lot of hacks were necessary in View Engine language service to work
around this limitation. It was done by inspecting the whole source span
then figuring out the relative position of the cursor.
With this change, we introduce a flag to set the binding span as the
source span of the `ParsedProperty` in Ivy AST.
This flag is needed so that we don't have to change VE ASTs.
Note that in the binding parser, we already set `bindingSpan` as the
source span for a `ParsedVariable`, and `keySpan` as the source span for
a literal attribute. This change makes the Ivy AST more consistent by
propagating the binding span to `ParsedProperty` as well.
PR Close#39036
Though we currently have the knowledge of where the `key` for an
attribute binding appears during parsing, we do not propagate this
information to the output AST. This means that once we produce the
template AST, we have no way of mapping a template position to the key
span alone. The best we can currently do is map back to the
`sourceSpan`. This presents problems downstream, specifically for the
language service, where we cannot provide correct information about a
position in a template because the AST is not granular enough.
PR Close#38898
In a microsyntax expressions, some attributes are not bound after
desugaring. For example,
```html
<div *ngFor="let item of items">
</div>
```
gets desugared to
```html
<ng-template ngFor let-items [ngForOf]="items">
</ngtemplate>
```
In this case, `ngFor` should be a literal attribute with no RHS value.
Therefore, its source span should be just the `keySpan` and not the
source span of the original template node.
This allows language service to precisely pinpoint different spans in a
microsyntax to provide accurate information.
PR Close#38766
Previously, the `startSourceSpan` property could be null
but in reality it is always well defined - except for a legacy
case in the old i18n extraction/merging code, where the
typings for source-spans are already being undermined.
Making this property non-null, simplifies code elsewhere
in the project.

This property can actually be `null` when called from the language-service.
This change allows us to remove the use of `!` to subvert the type system.

This commit propagates the correct value span in an ExpressionBinding of
a microsyntax expression to ParsedProperty, which in turn porpagates the
span to the template ASTs (both VE and Ivy).
PR Close#36133
This commit propagates the `sourceSpan` and `valueSpan` of a `VariableBinding`
in a microsyntax expression to `ParsedVariable`, and subsequently to
View Engine Variable AST and Ivy Variable AST.
Note that this commit does not propagate the `keySpan`, because it involves
significant changes to the template AST.
PR Close#36047
This commit adds fine-grained text spans to TemplateBinding for microsyntax expressions.
1. Source span
By convention, source span refers to the entire span of the binding,
including its key and value.
2. Key span
Span of the binding key, without any whitespace or keywords like `let`
The value span is captured by the value expression AST.
This is part of a series of PRs to fix source span mapping in microsyntax expression.

TemplateAst values are currently typed as the base class AST, but they
are actually constructed with ASTWithSource. Type them as such, because
ASTWithSource gives more information about the consumed expression AST
to downstream customers (namely, the expression AST source).

Currently, would-be binding attributes that are missing binding names
are not parsed as bindings, and fall through as regular attributes. In
some cases, this can lead to a runtime error; trying to assign `#` as a
DOM attribute in an element like in `<div #></div>` fails because `#` is
not a valid attribute name.
Attributes composed of binding prefixes but not defining a binding
should be considered invalid, as this almost certainly indicates an
unintentional elision of a binding by the developer. This commit
introduces error reporting for attributes with a binding name prefix but
no actual binding name.
Closes https://github.com/angular/vscode-ng-language-service/issues/293.
PR Close#34595
Expressions in an inline template binding are improperly recorded as
spaning an offset calculated from the start of the template binding
attribute key, whereas they should be calculated from the start of the
attribute value, which contains the actual binding AST.
PR Close#31813
Previously the compiler would ignore everything in the attribute
name after the first dot. For example
<div [attr.someAttr.attrSuffix]="var"></div>
is turned into <div someAttr="varValue"></div>.
This commit ensures that whole attribute name is captured.
Now <div [attr.someAttr.attrSuffix]="var"></div>
is turned into <div someAttr.attrSuffix="varValue"></div>

Previously, we had tested that expressions parsed in a Render3 AST
had correctly-defined absolute spans (spans relative to the entire
template, not the local expression). Sometimes we use Template ASTs
rather than Render3 ASTs, and it's desirable to test for correct
expression spans in the template parser as well.
Adding these tests resolved one bug, similar to the one fixed in
fd4fed14d8, where expressions in the value
of a template attribute were not given an absolute span corresponding to
the start of the attribute name rather than the start of the attribute
value.
The diff on this commit is large, partially because it involves some
structural changes of the template parser testing layout. In particular,
the following is done:
1. Move `createMeta*`-like functions from `template_parser_spec.ts` to
be exported from a new test utility file.
2. Create an `ExpressionSourceHumanizer`, similar to the one created in
b04488d692, to allow convenient testing
of expressions' locations.
3. Create `template_parser_absolute_span_spec.ts`, testing the spans of
expressions parsed by the template parser. This is very similar to
the `r3_ast_absolute_span_spec`.
PR Close#33253
Prior to this commit, the absolute spans (relative to template source
file rather than the start of an expression) of expressions in a
template attribute like `*ngIf` were generated incorrectly, equating to
the relative spans.
This fixes the bug by passing an `absoluteOffset` parameter when parsing
template bindings.
Through some levels of indirection, this is required for the Language
Service to support text replacement in
https://github.com/angular/angular/pull/33091.

Template AST nodes for (bound) attributes, variables and references will
now retain a reference to the source span of their value, which allows
for more accurate type check diagnostics.
PR Close#30181
Currently, template expressions and statements have their location
recorded relative to the HTML element they are in, with no handle to
absolute location in a source file except for a line/column location.
However, the line/column location is also not entirely accurate, as it
points an entire semantic expression, and not necessarily the start of
an expression recorded by the expression parser.
To support record of the source code expressions originate from, add a
new `sourceSpan` field to `ASTWithSource` that records the absolute byte
offset of an expression within a source code.

Fixes Ivy throwing an error because it tries to generate styling instructions for empty `style` and `class` bindings.
This PR resolves FW-1274.
PR Close#30024
During build time we remap particular property bindings, because their names don't match their attribute equivalents (e.g. the property for the `for` attribute is called `htmlFor`). This breaks down if the particular element has an input that has the same name, because the property gets mapped to something invalid.
The following changes address the issue by mapping the name during runtime, because that's when directives are resolved and we know all of the inputs that are associated with a particular element.

When template bindings are being parsed the event handlers
were receiving a source span that included the whole attribute.

This commit consolidates the options that can modify the
parsing of text (e.g. HTML, Angular templates, CSS, i18n)
into an AST for further processing into a single `options`
hash.
This makes the code cleaner and more readable, but also
enables us to support further options to parsing without
triggering wide ranging changes to code that should not
be affected by these new options. Specifically, it will let
us pass information about the placement of a template
that is being parsed in its containing file, which is essential
for accurate SourceMap processing.

Up until now, `[style]` and `[class]` bindings (the map-based ones) have only
worked as template bindings and have not been supported at all inside of host
bindings. This patch ensures that multiple host binding sources (components and
directives) all properly assign style values and merge them correctly in terms
of priority.

Prior to this change we performed prop and attr name validation at compile time, which failed in case a given prop/attr is an input to a Directive (thus should not be a subject to this check). Since Directive matching in Ivy happens at runtime, the corresponding checks are now moved to runtime as well.

This commit adds sanitization for `elementProperty` and `elementAttribute` instructions used in `hostBindings` function, similar to what we already have in the `template` function. Main difference is the fact that for some attributes (like "href" and "src") we can't define which SecurityContext they belong to (URL vs RESOURCE_URL) in Compiler, since information in Directive selector may not be enough to calculate it. In order to resolve the problem, Compiler injects slightly different sanitization function which detects proper Security Context at runtime.

Previously, the compileComponent() and compileDirective() APIs still required
the output of global analysis, even though they only read local information
from that output.
With this refactor, compileComponent() and compileDirective() now define
their inputs explicitly, with the new interfaces R3ComponentMetadata and
R3DirectiveMetadata. compileComponentGlobal() and compileDirectiveGlobal()
are introduced and convert from global analysis output into the new metadata
format.
This refactor also splits out the view compiler into separate files as
r3_view_compiler_local.ts was getting unwieldy.
Finally, this refactor also splits out generation of DI factory functions
into a separate r3_factory utility as the logic is utilized between different
compilers.

A long time ago Angular used to support both those attribute notations:
- `*attr='binding'`
- `template=`attr: binding`
Because the last notation has been dropped we can refactor the binding parsing.
Source maps will benefit from that as no `attr:` prefix is added artificialy any
more.

All of the providers in a module get compiled into a module definition in the
factory file. Some of these providers are for the actual module types, as those
are available for injection in Angular. For tree-shakeable tokens, the runtime

This change adds a NodeFlag which tags those module providers for later
identification.

- check references to directives that were exposed as variables via `exportAs`
