This change aligns the stability of `ComponentFixture` with that of
`ApplicationRef`, preventing confusing differences between the two as
more APIs start using the `PendingTasks` that may not be tracked by
`NgZone`.
BREAKING CHANGE: `ComponentFixture.whenStable` now matches the
`ApplicationRef.isStable` observable. Prior to this change, stability
of the fixture did not include everything that was considered in
`ApplicationRef`. `whenStable` of the fixture will now include unfinished
router navigations and unfinished `HttpClient` requests. This will cause
tests that `await` the `whenStable` promise to time out when there are
incomplete requests. To fix this, remove the `whenStable`,
instead wait for another condition, or ensure `HttpTestingController`
mocks responses for all requests. Try adding `HttpTestingController.verify()`
before your `await fixture.whenStable` to identify the open requests.
Also, make sure your tests wait for the stability promise. We found many
examples of tests that did not, meaning the expectations did not execute
within the test body.
In addition, `ComponentFixture.isStable` would synchronously switch to
true in some scenarios but will now always be asynchronous.

A lot of our tests are wrapped in `{}` which serves no purpose, aside from increasing the nesting level and, in some cases, causing confusion. The braces appear to be a leftover from a time when all tests were wrapped in a `function main() {}`.

According to the HTML specification most attributes are defined as strings, however some can be interpreted as different types like booleans or numbers. [In the HTML standard](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/common-microsyntaxes.html#boolean-attributes), boolean attributes are considered `true` if they are present on a DOM node and `false` if they are omitted. Common examples of boolean attributes are `disabled` on interactive elements like `<button>` or `checked` on `<input type="checkbox">`. Another example of an attribute that is defined as a string, but interpreted as a different type is the `value` attribute of `<input type="number">` which logs a warning and ignores the value if it can't be parsed as a number.
Historically, authoring Angular inputs that match the native behavior in a type-safe way has been difficult for developers, because Angular interprets all static attributes as strings. While some recent TypeScript versions made this easier by allowing setters and getters to have different types, supporting this pattern still requires a lot of boilerplate and additional properties to be declared. For example, currently developers have to write something like this to have a `disabled` input that behaves like the native one:
```typescript
import {Directive, Input} from '@angular/core';
@Directive({selector: 'mat-checkbox'})
export class MatCheckbox {
@Input()
get disabled() {
return this._disabled;
}
set disabled(value: any) {
this._disabled = typeof value === 'boolean' ? value : (value != null && value !== 'false');
}
private _disabled = false;
}
```
This feature aims to address the issue by introducing a `transform` property on inputs. If an input has a `transform` function, any values set through the template will be passed through the function before being assigned to the directive instance. The example from above can be rewritten to the following:
```typescript
import {Directive, Input, booleanAttribute} from '@angular/core';
@Directive({selector: 'mat-checkbox'})
export class MatCheckbox {
@Input({transform: booleanAttribute}) disabled: boolean = false;
}
```
These changes also add the `booleanAttribute` and `numberAttribute` utilities to `@angular/core` since they're common enough to be useful for most projects.

`setDisabledState` is supposed to be called whenever the disabled state of a control changes, including upon control creation. However, a longstanding bug caused the method to not fire when an *enabled* control was attached. This bug was fixed in v15.
This had a side effect: previously, it was possible to instantiate a reactive form control with `[attr.disabled]=true`, even though the the corresponding control was enabled in the model. (Note that the similar-looking property binding version `[disabled]=true` was always rejected, though.) This resulted in a mismatch between the model and the DOM. Now, because `setDisabledState` is always called, the value in the DOM will be immediately overwritten with the "correct" enabled value.
Users should instead disable the control directly in their model. (There are many ways to do this, such as using the `{value: 'foo', disabled: true}` constructor format, or immediately calling `FooControl.disable()` in `ngOnInit`.)
If this incompatibility is too breaking, you may also opt out using `FormsModule.withConfig` or `ReactiveFormsModule.withConfig` at the time you import it, via the `callSetDisabledState` option.
However, there is an exceptional case: radio buttons. Because Reactive Forms models the entire group of radio buttons as a single `FormControl`, there is no way to control the disabled state for individual radios, so they can no longer be configured as disabled.
In this PR, we have special cased radio buttons to ignore their first call to `setDisabledState` when in `callSetDisabledState: 'always'` mode. This preserves the old behavior.

Since we generate a `.mjs` file as entry-point for jasmine tests,
a couple of issues prevented the transitive dependencies from

1. The `_files` (previously `_esm2015`) targets are no longer needed,
and they also miss all the information on runfiles.
2. The aspect for computing linker mappings does not respect the
`bootstrap` attribute from the `spec_entrypoint` so we manually
add the extract ESM output targets (this rule works with the aspect
and forwards linker mappings).

access to the JS files because `DefaultInfo` of a ts library

higher target these days. Additionally we no longer use the devmode
output but rather use the prodmode output which has the explicit

Consider the case in which `FormBuilder` is used to construct a group with an optional field:
```
const controls = { name: fb.control('') };
const foo: FormGroup<{
name: FormControl<string | null>;
address?: FormControl<string | null>;
}> = fb.group<{
name: FormControl<string | null>;
address?: FormControl<string | null>;
}>(controls);
```
Today, with fully strict TypeScript settings, the above will not compile:
```
Types of property 'controls' are incompatible.
Type '{ name: FormControl<string | null>; address?: FormControl<FormGroup<SubFormControls> | null | undefined> | undefined; }' is not assignable to type '{ name: FormControl<string | null>; address?: FormGroup<SubFormControls> | undefined; }'.
```
Notice that the `fb.group(...)` is calculating the following type for address: `address?: FormControl<FormGroup<string|null>`. This is clearly wrong -- an extraneous `FormControl` has been added!
This is coming from the calculation of the result type of `fb.group(...)`. In the type definition, if we cannot detect the outer control type, [we assume it's just an unwrapped value, and automatically wrap it in `FormControl`](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/14.0.0/packages/forms/src/form_builder.ts#L66).
Because the optional `{address?: FormControl<string|null>}` implicitly makes the RHS have type `FormControl<string|null>|undefined`, [the relevant condition is not satisfied](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/14.0.0/packages/forms/src/form_builder.ts#L55). In particular, the condition expects just `FormGroup<T>`, not `FormGroup<T>|undefined`. So we assume `T` is a value type, and it gets wrapped with `FormControl`.
The solution is to add the cases where `undefined` is included in the union type when detecting which control `T` is (if any).

Consider a typed group for storing contact information:

}
contactForm: FormGroup<ContactControls> = ...;
saveForm(form: FormGroup<ContactControls>) {
service.newContact(contactForm.value);

```
declare interface Contact {
name: string|null;
}
class ContactService {
newContact(c: Contact) {}
}
```
This is quite redundant, and therefore, we should allow the value type to be generated automatically. We already have the helper types to do this -- we just need to document and export them. Then, this becomes possible:
```
class ContactService {
newContact(c: RawValue<FormGroup<ContactControls>>) {}

Previously, using `FormBuilder` with a union type would produce unions of *controls*:
```
// `foo` has type `FormControl<string>|FormControl<number>`.
const c = fb.nonNullable.group({foo: 'bar' as string | number});
```
This actually works in many cases, due to how extraordinarily powerful Typescript's distributive types are (e.g. `value` still has type `string|number`), but it is subtly incorrect. Here is a code example that exposes the reason the inference is incorrect. It exploits the fact that Typescript will not "un-distribute" a type, producing an obviously spurious error:
```
// fc gets an inferred distributive union type `FormControl<string> | FormControl<number>`
let fc = c.controls.foo;
// Error: Type 'FormControl<string | number>' is not assignable to type 'FormControl<string> | FormControl<number>'.
fc = new FormControl<string|number>('', {initialValueIsDefault: true});
```
Instead, we want the union to apply to the *values*:
```
// `foo` should have type `FormControl<string|number>`.
const c = fb.nonNullable.group({foo: 'bar' as string | number});
```
Essentially, we want to prevent Typescript from distributing the type. [As specified in the handbook](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/conditional-types.html#distributive-conditional-types):
> Typically, distributivity is the desired behavior. To avoid that behavior, you can surround each side of the extends keyword with square brackets.

Based on early feedback, calling `fb.nonNullable.group(...)` continues to be clunky for a form with many such groups. Allowing `NonNullableFormBuilder` to be directly injected enables the following:
```

PR Close#45904
With typed forms, all `FormControl`s are nullable by default, because they can be reset to `null`. This behavior is possible to change by passing the option `initialValueIsDefault: true`. However, in a large form, this is extremely cumbersome, as the option must be repeated over and over. Additionally, it is not possible to take full advantage of `FormBuilder`, since `FormBuilder.group` and `FormBuilder.array` will produce nullable controls.
This PR introduces a new accessor `FormBuilder.nonNullable`, which produces *non-nullable* controls. Specifically, any call to `.control` will produce controls with `{initialValueIsDefault: true}`, and calls to `.array` or `.group` that implicitly build inner controls will have the same effect.
```ts
let nfb = new FormBuilder().nonNullable;
let name = nfb.group({who: 'Alex'}); // FormGroup<{who: FormControl<string>}>
name.reset();
console.log(name); // {who: 'Alex'}

* Makes APF-built packages also handle types for `ts_library` targets consistently.
* Allows us to ensure APF entry-points have `d.ts` _always_ bundled (working with ESM
module resolution in TypeScript -- currently experimental)

When an `NgModel` is created within a `form`, it receives an `NgControl` based on its `name`, but
the control doesn't get swapped out if the name changes. This can lead to problems if the `NgModel`
is part of an `ngFor`, because the name can change based on its position in the list and a new
control can be defined with the same name, leading us to having multiple directives pointing to
the same control. For example, if we start off with a list like :
```
[0, 1, 2]; -> [NgModel(0), NgModel(1), NgModel(2)]
```
Then we remove the second item:
```
[0, 2]; -> [NgModel(0), NgModel(2)]
```
And finally, if we decide to add an item to the end of the list, we'll already have a control for
index 2, causing the list to look like:
```
[0, 2, 3]; -> [NgModel(0), NgModel(2), NgModel(2)]

This functionally dead code was originally introduced via pull request
were added to verify the fix, and the many comments on that issue after
it was closed indicate that it wasn't actually resolved.
In fact, setting `selectedIndex` does absolutely nothing here, since
the selected index is immediately overridden by setting the `value`
property. A working fix (with tests) for the IE/Safari bug is in pull
request #23784. Originally this dead code was removed as part of that PR,
but @AndrewKushnir recommended creating a separate PR for the cleanup.

To make our test output i.e. devmode output more aligned
with what we produce in the NPM packages, or to be more
aligned with what Angular applications will usually consume,
the devmode output is switched from ES5 to ES2015.
Additionally various tsconfigs (outside of Bazel) have been
updated to match with the other parts of the build. The rules
are:
ES2015 for test configurations, ES2020 for actual code that will
end up being shipped (this includes the IDE-only tsconfigs).

Allow a FormControl to be reset to its initial value. Provide this feature via a new option in a FormControlOptions interface, based on AbstractControlOptions.
Also, expose the default value as part of the public API. This is part of a feature that has been requested elsewhere (e.g. in #19747).
This was originally proposed as part of typed forms. As discussed in the GDE session (and after with akushnir/alxhub), it is likely better to just reuse the initial value rather than accepting an additional default.
It is desirable to land this separately in order to reduce the scope of the typed forms PR, and make it a types-only change.

This commit updates the `node` engines range for all Angular
framework packages to:
* No longer support NodeJS v12 `< 12.20`. This is done because APF v13
uses package export patterns which are only supported as of v12.20.
https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#packages_subpath_patterns.
* Allows for the latest v16 NodeJS versions. This matches with the CLI
which added NodeJS v16 support with https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/pull/21854.
We already limit this to `>= v16.10.0` in preparation to only
supporting the LTS minors of Node v16.
BREAKING CHANGE: NodeJS versions older than `v12.20.0` are no longer
supported due to the Angular packages using the NodeJS package exports
feature with subpath patterns.
PR Close#43740
With the changes to support APF v13 in the `ng_package` rule, we have
removed the ambiguous `entry_point` attribute. The attribute suggested
that it would be used for determining the primary entry-point input
file. This was not the case as the flat module output file is consulted
for bundling et at. The attribute has been renamed to match its
purposed (renamed to `primary_bundle_name`).
We no longer need to set that attribute because the primary bundle
name is (1) not of relevance for consumers and (2) the rule already
infers the bundle name properly from the Bazel package.

This commit updates the logic of the `min` and `max` validators to allow

validators earlier (see #42565).

Adds support for TypeScript 4.4. High-level overview of the changes made in this PR:
* Bumps the various packages to `typescript@4.4.2` and `tslib@2.3.0`.
* The `useUnknownInCatchVariables` compiler option has been disabled so that we don't have to cast error objects explicitly everywhere.
* TS now passes in a third argument to the `__spreadArray` call inside child class constructors. I had to update a couple of places in the runtime and ngcc to be able to pick up the calls correctly.
* TS now generates code like `(0, foo)(arg1, arg2)` for imported function calls. I had to update a few of our tests to account for it. See https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/pull/44624.
* Our `ngtsc` test setup calls the private `matchFiles` function from TS. I had to update our usage, because a new parameter was added.
* There was one place where we were setting the readonly `hasTrailingComma` property. I updated the usage to pass in the value when constructing the object instead.
* Some browser types were updated which meant that I had to resolve some trivial type errors.
* The downlevel decorators tranform was running into an issue where the Closure synthetic comments were being emitted twice. I've worked around it by recreating the class declaration node instead of cloning it.

Currently the error message functions are defined as static methods on a class which means that as soon as one of them is used somewhere, all of them have to be retained. This isn't a problem at the moment, because all of them are behind `ngDevMode` checks, but it's error prone and it's easy to fix.
These changes move them out into functions so that they can be imported individually. It also has the advantage of allowing Webpack to minify the function names.

Specifically: narrow the type used for form statuses from string to a union of possible statuses. Change the API methods from any to use the new type.
This is a breaking change. However, as discussed in the PR, breakage seems minimal, and google3 has been prepped to land this.
Background: we uncovered these any typings in the course of design work for typed forms. They could be fixed in a non-breaking manner by piggybacking them on top of the new typed forms generics, but it would be much cleaner to fix them separately if possible.
BREAKING CHANGE:
A new type called `FormControlStatus` has been introduced, which is a union of all possible status strings for form controls. `AbstractControl.status` has been narrowed from `string` to `FormControlStatus`, and `statusChanges` has been narrowed from `Observable<any>` to `Observable<FormControlStatus>`. Most applications should consume the new types seamlessly. Any breakage caused by this change is likely due to one of the following two problems: (1) the app is comparing `AbstractControl.status` against a string which is not a valid status; or, (2) the app is using `statusChanges` events as if they were something other than strings.

As previously discussed in pull/31070 and issues/30486, this would be useful because it is often desirable to apply styles to fields that are both `ng-invalid` and `ng-pristine` after the first attempt at form submission, but Angular does not provide any simple way to do this (although evidently Angularjs did). This will now be possible with a descendant selector such as `.ng-submitted .ng-invalid`.
In this implementation, the directive that sets control status classes on forms and formGroups has its set of statuses widened to include `ng-submitted`. Then, in the event that `is('submitted')` is invoked, the `submitted` property of the control container is returned iff it exists. This is preferred over checking whether the container is a `Form` or `FormGroup` directly to avoid reflecting on those classes.

Prior to this change the `min` and `max` validator directives would not

Currently the `Validators` class contains a number of static methods that represent different validators as well as some helper methods. Since class methods are not tree-shakable, any reference to the `Validator` class retains all of its methods (even if you've used just one).
This commit refactors the code to extract the logic into standalone functions and use these functions in the code instead of referencing them via `Validators` class.

Prior to this commit, the `patchValue()` of the `FormGroup` and `FormArray` classes used to throw an exception
when the `value` argument contained a data structure that has `null` or `undefined` as a value for a field
that represents an instance of `FormGroup` or `FormArray` (for `FormControl` it's not a problem, since it
doesn't have nested controls), since the `patchValue()` method tried to iterate over provided values to
match current data structure.
This commit updates the `patchValue()` logic in `FormGroup` and `FormArray` classes to just ignore `null` and
`undefined` values (without any changes to corresponding `FormGroup` and `FormArray` instances). This

PR #39235 introduced additional cleanup logic for form controls and directives. The cleanup logic relies
on the presence of ControlValueAccessor instances on FormControlName and FormControl directives. In general
these fields are present and there are also checks to make sure that the mentioned directive instances are
created with CVAs. However some scenarios (primarily tests) may invoke the logic in a way that the directive
instance would not be fully initialized, thus causing CVA to be absent. As a result, the cleanup logic fails
while trying to call some methods on associated CVA instances.

When a form is reset, it goes through `_forEachChild` to call `reset` on each of its children.
The problem is that if a control is removed while the loop is running (e.g. by a subscription),

started.
These changes fix the issue by adding a null check before invoing the callback.

The `NgControlStatusGroup` directive is shared between template-driven and reactive form modules. In cases when
only reactive forms module is present, the `NgControlStatusGroup` directive is still activated on all `<form>`
elements, but if there is no other reactive directive applied (such as `formGroup`), corresponding `ControlContainer`
token is missing, thus causing exceptions (since `NgControlStatusGroup` directive relies on it to determine the
status). This commit updates the logic to handle the case when no `ControlContainer` is present (effectively making
directive logic a noop in this case).
Alternative approach (more risky) worth considering in the future is to split the `NgControlStatusGroup` into
2 directives with different set of selectors and include them into template-driven and reactive modules separately.
The downside is that these directives might be activated simultaneously on the same element (e.g. `<form>`),
effectively doing the work twice.

This expands the deprecation message that started to pop up in v11.0.3
after the landing of commit e148382bd0,
that deprecated the `{[key: string]: any}` type for the options property of the `FormBuilder.group` method.
It turns out that having a custom validator declared as
`{ validators: (group: FormGroup) => ValidationErrors|null }` works in practice,
but is now inferred by TS as the deprecated version of `group`
(because `FormGroup` is a subclass of `AbstractControl` that `ValidatorFn` expects).
We considered the possibility of tweaking the forms API to accept such validators,
but it turns out to generate too many changes in the framework or possible breaking changes for Angular users.
We settled for a more explicit deprecation message, elaborated with the help of @petebacondarwin.
This will hopefully help developers to understand why the deprecation warning is showing up
when they think they are already using the non-deprecated overload.

Currently when an instance of the `FormControlName` directive is destroyed, the Forms package invokes
the `cleanUpControl` to clear all directive-specific logic (such as validators, onChange handlers,
etc) from a bound control. The logic of the `cleanUpControl` function should revert all setup
performed by the `setUpControl` function. However the `cleanUpControl` is too aggressive and removes
all callbacks related to the onChange and disabled state handling. This is causing problems when
a form control is bound to multiple FormControlName` directives, causing other instances of that
directive to stop working correctly when the first one is destroyed.
This commit updates the cleanup logic to only remove callbacks added while setting up a control
for a given directive instance.
The fix is needed to allow adding `cleanUpControl` function to other places where cleanup is needed
(missing this function calls in some other places causes memory leak issues).
PR Close#39623
Prior to this commit, the `cleanUpControl` function (responsible for cleaning up control instance)
was not taking validators into account. As a result, these validators remain registered on a detached
form control instance, thus causing memory leaks. This commit updates the `cleanUpControl` function
logic to also run validators cleanup.
As a part of this change, the logic to setup and cleanup validators was refactored and moved to
separate functions (with completely opposite behavior), so that they can be reused in the future.
This commit doesn't add the `cleanUpControl` calls to all possible places, it just fixes the cases
where this function is being called, but doesn't fully perform a cleanup. The `cleanUpControl`
function calls will be added to other parts of code (to avoid more memory leaks) in a followup PR.

This commit refactors validators-related logic that is common across most of the directives.
A couple notes on this refactoring:
* common logic was moved to the `AbstractControlDirective` class (including `validator` and
`asyncValidator` getters)
* sync/async validators are now composed in `AbstractControlDirective` class eagerly when validators
are set with `_setValidators` and `_setAsyncValidators` calls and the result is stored in directive
instance (thus getters return cached versions of validator fn). This is needed to make sure composed
validator function remains the same (retains its identity) for a given directive instance, so that
this function can be added and later removed from an instance of an AbstractControl-based class
(like `FormControl`). Preserving validator function is required to perform proper cleanup (in followup
PRs) of the AbstractControl-based classes when a directive is destroyed.

BREAKING CHANGE: Type of AbstractFormControl.parent now includes null
`null` is now included in the types of .parent. If you don't already have a check for this case,
the TypeScript compiler might compain. A v11 migration exists which adds the not-null assertion
operator where necessary.
In an unlikely case your code was testing the parnet against undefined with sitrct equality,
you'll need to change this to `=== null` instead, since the parent is not explicily initialized
with `null` instead of being left `undefined`.

NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR is a multi injection token, users can and
should expect more than one ControlValueAccessor to be
available (and this is how it is used in @angular/forms).
This is now reflected in the definition of the injection token
by typing it as an array of ControlValueAccessor. The motivating
reason is that using the programmatic Injector api will now
type Injector#get correspondingly.
fixes#29351
BREAKING CHANGES
NG_VALUE_ACCESSOR is now typed as a readonly array rather than
a mutable scalar. It is used as a multi injection token and as
such it should always be expected that more than one accessor
may be returned.

This commit ensures that the `updateValueAndValidity` method takes the
`asyncValidator` into consideration to emit on the `statusChanges` observables.
This is necessary so that any subsequent changes are emitted properly to any
subscribers.

BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously if FormControl, FormGroup and FormArray class instances had async validators
defined at initialization time, the status change event was not emitted once async validator
completed. After this change the status event is emitted into the `statusChanges` observable.
If your code relies on the old behavior, you can filter/ignore this additional status change
event.

Prior to this commit, a lot of internal-only class properties and methods (such as `ngOnChanges`)
of the Forms package directives were exposed on angular.io website. These fields are not expected
to be called externally (they are used/invoked by framework only), since they are part of internal
implementations of the following interfaces:
* Angular lifecycle hook interfaces
* ControlValueAccessor interface
* Validator interface
Having these internal-only fields in docs creates unnecessary noise on directive detail pages.
This commit adds the `@nodoc` annotation to these properties and methods to keep fields in the
golden files, but hide them in docs.

This commit refactors the way we store validators in AbstractControl-based classes:

This is needed to have an ability to clean them up later at destroy time (currently it's problematic since
they are combined in a single function).
The change preserves backwards compatibility by making sure public APIs stay the same.

BREAKING CHANGE: Number inputs no longer listen to the `change` event.
* Tests which trigger `change` events need to be updated to trigger `input` events instead.
* The `change` event was in place to support IE9, as we found that `input` events were not fired with backspace or cut actions. If you need to maintain IE9 support, you will need to add a change event listener to number inputs and call the `onChange` method of `NumberValueAccessor` manually.
* Lastly, old versions of WebDriver would synthetically trigger the `change` event on `WebElement.clear` and `WebElement.sendKeys`.

With 5cecd97493 we intended to expand
the input type of the `disabled` input of the `NgModel` directive.
Read more about the reason for this in the actual commit message.
Currently though, the acceptance coercion member does not have any
effect. This is because the acceptance member needs to refer to the
actual input property name, and not to the public input name.
`disabled` corresponds to the `isDisabled` property.
PR Close#34502
NgModel internally coerces any arbitrary value that will assigned
to the `disabled` `@Input` to a boolean. This has been done to
support the common case where developers set the disabled attribute
without a value. For example:
```html
<input type="checkbox" [(ngModel)]="value" disabled>
```
This worked in View Engine without any errors because inputs were
not strictly checked. In Ivy though, developers can opt-in into
strict template type checking where the attribute would be flagged.
This is because the `NgModel#isDisabled` property type-wise only
accepts a `boolean`. To ensure that the common pattern described
above can still be used, and to reflect the actual runtime behavior,
we should add an acceptance member that makes it work without type
checking errors.
Using a coercion member means that this is not a breaking change.

Currently we only run Saucelabs on PRs using the legacy View Engine
build. Switching that build to Ivy is not trivial and there are various
options:
1. Updating the R3 switches to use POST_R3 by default. At first glance,
this doesn't look easy because the current ngtsc switch logic seems to
be unidirectional (only PRE_R3 to POST_R3).
2. Updating the legacy setup to run with Ivy. This sounds like the easiest
solution at first.. but it turns out to be way more complicated. Packages
would need to be built with ngtsc using legacy tools (i.e. first building
the compiler-cli; and then building packages) and View Engine only tests
would need to be determined and filtered out. Basically it will result in
re-auditing all test targets. This is contradictory to the fact that we have
this information in Bazel already.
3. Creating a new job that runs tests on Saucelabs with Bazel. We specify
fine-grained test targets that should run. This would be a good start
(e.g. acceptance tests) and also would mean that we do not continue maintaining
the legacy setup..
This commit implements the third option as it allows us to move forward
with the general Bazel migration. We don't want to spend too much time
on our legacy setup since it will be removed anyway in the future.

This commit fixes a compatibility bug where pre-order lifecycle
hooks (onInit, doCheck, OnChanges) for directives on the same
host node were executed based on the order the directives were
matched, rather than the order the directives were instantiated
(i.e. injection order).
This discrepancy can cause issues with forms, where it is common
to inject NgControl and try to extract its control property in
ngOnInit. As the NgControl directive is injected, it should be
instantiated before the control value accessor directive (and
thus its hooks should run first). This ensures that the NgControl
ngOnInit can set up the form control before the ngOnInit
for the control value accessor tries to access it.

As mentioned in the previous commit, the regexp used by

[WHATWG one](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#valid-e-mail-address).
This commit refactors the regexp (without changing its behavior) to make
it more closely match the format of WHATWG version, so that it is easier
for people to compare it against the WHATWG one and understand the
differences.
The main changes were:
- Changing the order of characters/character classes inside `[...]`;
e.g. `[A-Za-z]` --> `[a-zA-Z]`
- Mark all groups as non-capturing (since we do not use the captured
values); e.g. `(foo)` --> `(?:foo)`
(This could theoretically also have a positive performance impact, but
I suspect JavaScript engines are already optimizing away capturing
groups when they are not used.)

its similarity to and differences from the WHATWG version. It also adds
a brief explanation of the regexp's behavior and references for more
information in the source code to provide more context to
maintainers/users trying to understand the implementation in the future.

Previous to this change, when a control was reset, value and status change
events would be emitted before the control was reset to pristine. As a
result, if one were to check a control's pristine state in a valueChange
listener, it would appear that the control was still dirty after reset.
This change delays emission of value and status change events until after
controls have been marked pristine. This means the pristine state will be
reset as expected if one checks in a listener.
Theoretically, there could be applications depending on checking whether a
control *used to be dirty*, so this is marked as breaking. In these cases,
apps should cache the state on the app side before calling reset.
