Running the Angular compiler with declaration-only emission is dangerous
because Angular does not yet support this mode as it relies on the Ivy
compilation which does not run in this mode
In the best case, everything works fine as incidentally there's no
difference in the emitted type declarations (e.g. this is the case for
TS files containing no Angular annotations or only `@Injectable`
annotations).
In the worst case, compilation silently fails in that the compilation
succeeds but the resulting type declarations are missing the Angular
type information and are therefore incomplete. This happens for all
components, directives and modules.
BREAKING CHANGE: The Angular compiler now produces an error when the
the `emitDeclarationOnly` TS compiler option is enabled as this mode is
not supported.
PR Close#61609
When defer blocks have a reference-based trigger without a parameter, we infer it from the placeholder block. This requires some validations like ensuring that there's only one element in the placeholder. The validations are currently implemented at the parser level which can affect tools like linters that need to pass `preserveWhitespaces: true` in order to get accurate source mappings.
These changes move the validations into the template type checker so that they still get flagged, but much later in the process. Moving them over involves a bit more work, because the template type checker also sets `preserveWhitespaces: true`.
Fixes#61725.
PR Close#61747
In declaration-only emission mode, the compiler extracts the type
declarations (.d.ts) files without full type-checking, which is possible
with sufficient type annotations on exports that can be ensured by the
`isolatedDeclarations` TS compiler option.
This allows us to decouple type declaration emission from the actual
full compilation doing the type-checking, thereby removing the
edge between dependent TS files in the build action graph. In other
words, the compilation of a TS file no longer indirectly depends on the
compilation of all the TS files it imports through its dependency on
their type declarations, because the type declarations themselves no
longer depend on the compilation of their associated TS file.
Without the coupling between type declaration emission and compilation,
compilation time of a TS project is no longer bound dependent on the
depth of the TS dependency tree as we can now build the entire project
with just two entirely parallel phases: 1) emit the type declarations of
all TS files in parallel and 2) compile all TS files in parallel.
Since the Angular compiler adds static metadata fields to components,
directives, modules, pipes and services based on their respective class
annotations, it needs to actively partake in the type declaration
emission in order to provide the types for these static fields in the
declaration.
In this change, we add experimental support for a declaration-only
emission mode based on the local compilation mode, which already
operates without type-checking and access to external type information,
i.e. the same environment as is required for declaration-only emisssion.
Apart from the same restrictions applied in local compilation mode,
there are a few more restrictions imposed on code being compatible with
this initial and experimental implementation:
* No support for `@NgModule`s using external references.
* No support for `hostDirectives` in `@Component`s and `@Directive`s
using external references
* No support for `@Input` annotations with `transform`.

The semantics for nullish coalescing (`??`) in Javascript/Typescript
differ slightly from the semantics in Angular templates. Mixing nullish
coalescing with logical and/or without parentheses is an error in
Javascript. This PR adds an extended diagnostic that can be enabled to
treat it as an error in Angular templates as well.

Historically Angular's type checking only extended to templates, however host bindings can contain expressions as well which can have type checking issues of their own. These changes expand the type checking infrastructure to cover the `host` object literal, `@HostBinding` decorators and `@HostListener` with full language service support coming in future commits.
Note that initially the new functionality is disabled by default and has to be enabled using the `typeCheckHostBindings` compiler flag.

PR Close#59443
Add the `strictStandalone` flag to `angularCompilerOptions`. When set to
true, the compiler will require that all declarations of components,
directive, and pipes be standalone. When `standalone: false` is provided,
an error is raised.
Note that until the default value of the standalone flag is flipped, this
does not catch the case where a declaration does not specify a value for
`standalone`.
The default value of the `strictStandalone` flag is `false`.

Adds a new diagnostic that will report cases where a declaration is in the `imports` array, but isn't being used anywhere. The diagnostic is reported as a warning by default and can be controlled using the following option in the tsconfig:

An initializer API like `input`, `output`, or signal queries may not be

private class fields.
This commit introduces a check for access levels into the initializer
API recognition— enforcing that every initializer API *clearly*
specifies what type of access is allowed.

`TemplateDefinitionBuilder` is the legacy template compiler, and was replaced by Template Pipeline as the default in v17.3.
This PR attempts to delete `TemplateDefinitionBuilder`, `ExpressionConverter`, and various helpers (i18n context, style builder, property visitors, etc).
Consider this a first pass: a lot of code has not yet been deleted (e.g. old TDB-specific test cases), and I'm sure I have missed additional helper code.

This commit includes a skeleton of how the tool `LocalCompilationExtraImportsTracker` is used in the overall compilation workflow end-to-end.
First of all, a new option `generateExtraImportsInLocalMode` is added, whose presence will make `LocalCompilationExtraImportsTracker` part of the compilation process. When this option is set an instance of `LocalCompilationExtraImportsTracker` is created within the NgCompiler. Then it is passed to the Ivy transformer and plumbed all the way down and the extra imports registered in it are added to the `ImportManager` instances before the imports are added from `ImportManager` to the generated file. This required adding a new method `generateSideEffectImport` to the `ImportManager`, which is an empty method and will be implemented in the subsequent commits.
This commit expected to make no change in the compilation behavior as the methods are not implemented yet.

The Template Pipeline is a brand new backend for the Angular compiler, replacing `TemplateDefinitionBuilder`. It generates the Ivy instructions corresponding to an input template (or host binding). The Template Pipeline has an all-new design based on an intermediate representation compiled over many phases, which will allow us to experiment with compiler changes more easily in the future.
With this commit, the template pipeline can now be enabled in any project via the `useTemplatePipeline` TSConfig option. However, it is still disabled by default.

This commit introduces three additional diagnostics for queries:
- If a query (either using decorator or signal-based) is declared on a
static class member, a diagnostic is raised.
- If a signal-based query is mixed with a query decorator, a diagnostic
is raised. Similar to signal inputs.
- If a singal-based query is also declared in the directive/component
class decorator metadata, a diagnostic is raised.
