Previously in Ivy, metadata for directives/components/modules/etc was
carried in .d.ts files inside type information encoded on the
DirectiveDef, ComponentDef, NgModuleDef, etc types of Ivy definition
fields. This works well, but has the side effect of complicating Ivy's
runtime code as these extra generic type parameters had to be specified
as <any> throughout the codebase. *DefInternal types were introduced
previously to mitigate this issue, but that's the wrong way to solve
the problem.
This commit returns *Def types to their original form, with no metadata
attached. Instead, new *DefWithMeta types are introduced that alias the
plain definition types and add extra generic parameters. This way the
only code that needs to deal with the extra metadata parameters is the
compiler code that reads and writes them - the existence of this metadata
is transparent to the runtime, as it should be.

This change supports compilation of components, directives, and modules
within ngtsc. Support is not complete, but is enough to compile and test
//packages/core/test/bundling/todo in full AOT mode. Code size benefits
are not yet achieved as //packages/core itself does not get compiled, and
some decorators (e.g. @Input) are not stripped, leading to unwanted code
being retained by the tree-shaker. This will be improved in future commits.

Ivy definition looks something like this:
```
class MyService {
static ngInjectableDef = defineInjectable({
…
});
}
```
Here the argument to `defineInjectable` is well known public contract which needs
to be honored in backward compatible way between versions. The type of the
return value of `defineInjectable` on the other hand is private and can change
shape drastically between versions without effecting backwards compatibility of
libraries publish to NPM. To our users it is effectively an `OpaqueToken`.
By prefixing the type with `ɵ` we are communicating the the outside world that
the value is not public API and is subject to change without backward compatibility.

Remove `containerRefreshStart` and `containerRefreshEnd` instruction
from the output.
Generate directives as a list in `componentDef` rather than inline into
instructions. This is consistent in making selector resolution runtime
so that translation of templates can follow locality.

BREAKING CHANGE:
The `<template>` tag was deprecated in Angular v4 to avoid collisions (i.e. when
using Web Components).

instead.

Adds a stub for `elementStyle` and `elementClass` instruction
with a canonical spec for the compiler. The spec shows the the
compiler should be using `elementStyle` and `elementClass` instruction

This change makes the code cleaner for the user. It does mean
a little bit more work for us since we have to patch the `type` back
into the `DirectiveDef`. However since the patching happens only once
on startup it should not be significant.
PR Close#21374
This separation is no longer needed since directives are now passed into the `container` as an array rather than as child functions of the `containerStart`
PR Close#21374
We used to have a separate `directive` instruction for instantiating
directives. However, such an instruction requires that directives
are created in the correct order, which would require that template
compiler would have knowledge of all dependent directives. This
would break template compilation locality principle.
This change only changes the APIs to expected form but does
not change the semantics. The semantics will need to be corrected
in subsequent commits. The semantic change needed is to
resolve the directive instantiation error at runtime based on
injection dependencies.
PR Close#21374
Each node now has two index: nodeIndex and checkIndex.
nodeIndex is the index in both the view definition and the view data.
checkIndex is the index in in the update function (update directives and update
renderer).
While nodeIndex and checkIndex have the same value for now, having both of them
will allow changing the structure of view definition after compilation (ie for
runtime translations).
- prevents unsubscribing from the zone on error
- prevents unsubscribing from directive `EventEmitter`s on error
- prevents detaching views in dev mode if there on error
- ensures that `ngOnInit` is only called 1x (also in prod mode)

Before this change there was a single injector tree.
Now we have 2 injector trees, one for the modules and one for the components.
This fixes lazy loading modules.
See the design docs for details:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OEUIwc-s69l1o97K0wBd_-Lth5BBxir1KuCRWklTlI4
BREAKING CHANGES
`ComponentFactory.create()` takes an extra optional `NgModuleRef` parameter.
No change should be required in user code as the correct module will be used
when none is provided
DEPRECATIONS
The following methods were used internally and are no more required:
- `RouterOutlet.locationFactoryResolver`
- `RouterOutlet.locationInjector`
After the introduction of the view engine, we can drop a lot of code that is not used any more.
This should reduce the size of the app bundles because a lot of this code was not being properly tree-shaken by today's tools even though it was dead code.
The rationale of this change is to improve the inter-operability with web
components that might make use of the `<template>` tag.
DEPRECATION
The template tags and template attribute are deprecated:
<template ngFor [ngFor]=items let-item><li>...</li></template>
<li template="ngFor: let item of items">...</li>
should be rewritten as:
<ng-template ngFor [ngFor]=items let-item><li>...</li></ng-template>
Note that they still be supported in 4.x with a deprecartion warning in
development mode.
MIGRATION
- `template` tags (or elements with a `template` attribute) should be rewritten
as a `ng-template` tag,
- `ng-content` selectors should be updated to referto a `ng-template` where they
use to refer to a template: `<ng-content selector="template[attr]">` should be
rewritten as `<ng-content selector="ng-template[attr]">`
- if you consume a component relying on your templates being actual `template`
elements (that is they include a `<ng-content selector="template[attr]">`). You
should still migrate to `ng-template` and make use of `ngProjectAs` to override
the way `ng-content` sees the template:
`<ng-template projectAs="template[attr]">`
- while `template` elements are deprecated in 4.x they continue to work.
Use `RendererV2` instead of `Renderer` now. `Renderer` can still be injected
and delegates to `RendererV2`.
Use `RendererFactoryV2` instead of `RootRenderer`. `RootRenderer` cannot be used
anymore.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `RootRenderer` cannot be used any more, use `RendererFactoryV2` instead.
Note: `Renderer` can still be injected/used, but is deprecated.
Some versions of TypeScript are super slow to compile functions that
contain a lot of `if` conditions in them. Splitting the handle event
expressions per element is similar to what we did in the old codegen.
Included refactoring:
- splits the `RendererV2` into a `RendererFactoryV2` and a `RendererV2`
- makes the `DebugRendererV2` a private class in `@angular/core`
- remove `setBindingDebugInfo` from `RendererV2`, but rename `RendererV2.setText` to
`RendererV2.setValue` and allow it on comments and text nodes.

- PlatformState provides an interface to serialize the current Platform State as a string or Document.
- renderModule and renderModuleFactory are convenience methods to wait for Angular Application to stabilize and then render the state to a string.
- refactor code to remove defaultDoc from DomAdapter and inject DOCUMENT where it's needed.
Included refactoring:
- make ViewData.parentIndex point to component provider index
- split NodeType.Provider into Provider / Directive / Pipe
- make purePipe take the real pipe as argument to detect changes
- order change detection:
1) directive props
2) renderer props

- Make sure `NodeDef`s don’t fall into dictionary mode.
- Use strategy pattern to add debug information / checks, instead of constantly checking for `isDevMode`.

The new view engine allows our codegen to produce less code,
as it can interpret view definitions during runtime.
The view engine is not feature complete yet, but already
allows to implement a tree benchmark based on it.
Part of #14013
Detailed changes:
- remove `UNINITIALIZED`, initialize change detection fields with `undefined`.
* we use `view.numberOfChecks === 0` now everywhere
as indicator whether we are in the first change detection cycle
(previously we used this only in a couple of places).
* we keep the initialization itself as change detection get slower without it.
- remove passing around `throwOnChange` in various generated calls,
and store it on the view as property instead.
- change generated code for bindings to DOM elements as follows:
Before:
```
var currVal_10 = self.context.bgColor;
if (jit_checkBinding15(self.throwOnChange,self._expr_10,currVal_10)) {
self.renderer.setElementStyle(self._el_0,'backgroundColor',((self.viewUtils.sanitizer.sanitize(jit_21,currVal_10) == null)? null: self.viewUtils.sanitizer.sanitize(jit_21,currVal_10).toString()));
self._expr_10 = currVal_10;
}
var currVal_11 = jit_inlineInterpolate16(1,' ',self.context.data.value,' ');
if (jit_checkBinding15(self.throwOnChange,self._expr_11,currVal_11)) {
self.renderer.setText(self._text_1,currVal_11);
self._expr_11 = currVal_11;
}
```,
After:
```
var currVal_10 = self.context.bgColor;
jit_checkRenderStyle14(self,self._el_0,'backgroundColor',null,self._expr_10,self._expr_10=currVal_10,false,jit_21);
var currVal_11 = jit_inlineInterpolate15(1,' ',self.context.data.value,' ');
jit_checkRenderText16(self,self._text_1,self._expr_11,self._expr_11=currVal_11,false);
```

- add ng2_switch benchmark to track `ngFor` over `ngSwitch`
- measure create only, createDestroy and update
- simplify the created dom

The methods on `ViewResolverMock` have been merged into `DirectiveResolver`.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- ES5 users can no longer use the `View(…)` function to provide `ViewMetadata`.
This mirrors the removal of the `@View` decorator a while ago.
Introduces `ref-` to give a name to an element or a directive (also works for `<template>` elements), and `let-` to introduce an input variable for a `<template>` element.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `#...` now always means `ref-`.
- `<template #abc>` now defines a reference to the TemplateRef, instead of an input variable used inside of the template.
- `#...` inside of a *ngIf, … directives is deprecated.
Use `let …` instead.
- `var-...` is deprecated. Replace with `let-...` for `<template>` elements and `ref-` for non `<template>` elements.
Closes#7158Closes#8264
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Injector was renamed into `ReflectiveInjector`,
as `Injector` is only an abstract class with one method on it
- `Injector.getOptional()` was changed into `Injector.get(token, notFoundValue)`
to make implementing injectors simpler
- `ViewContainerRef.createComponent` now takes an `Injector`
instead of `ResolvedProviders`. If a reflective injector
should be used, create one before calling this method.
(e.g. via `ReflectiveInjector.resolveAndCreate(…)`.
This adds the feature for `@ViewChild`/`@ViewChildren`/`@ContentChild`/`@ContentChildren` to define what to read from the queried element.
E.g. `@ViewChild(`someVar`, read: ViewContainerRef)` will locate the element with a variable `someVar` on it and return a `ViewContainerRef` for it.
Background: With this change, Angular knows exactly at which elements there will be `ViewConainerRef`s as the user has to ask explicitly of them. This simplifies codegen and will make converting Angular templates into server side templates simpler as well.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadIntoLocation` has been removed. Use `@ViewChild(‘myVar’, read: ViewContainerRef)` to get hold of a `ViewContainerRef` at an element with variable `myVar`.
- `DynamicComponentLoader.loadNextToLocation` now takes a `ViewContainerRef` instead of an `ElementRef`.
- `AppViewManager` is renamed into `ViewUtils` and is a mere private utility service.
Each compile template now exposes a `<CompName>NgFactory` variable
with an instance of a `ComponentFactory`.
Calling `ComponentFactory.create` returns a `ComponentRef` that can
be used directly.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- `Compiler` is renamed to `ComponentResolver`,
`Compiler.compileInHost` has been renamed to `ComponentResolver.resolveComponent`.
- `ComponentRef.dispose` is renamed to `ComponentRef.destroy`
- `ViewContainerRef.createHostView` is renamed to `ViewContainerRef.createComponent`
- `ComponentFixture_` has been removed, the class `ComponentFixture`
can now be created directly as it is no more using private APIs.
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Renderer:
* renderComponent method is removed form `Renderer`, only present on `RootRenderer`
* Renderer.setDebugInfo is removed. Renderer.createElement / createText / createTemplateAnchor
now take the DebugInfo directly.
- Query semantics:
* Queries don't work with dynamically loaded components.
* e.g. for router-outlet: loaded components can't be queries via @ViewQuery,
but router-outlet emits an event `activate` now that emits the activated component
- Exception classes and the context inside changed (renamed fields)
- DebugElement.attributes is an Object and not a Map in JS any more
- ChangeDetectorGenConfig was renamed into CompilerConfig
- AppViewManager.createEmbeddedViewInContainer / AppViewManager.createHostViewInContainer
are removed, use the methods in ViewContainerRef instead
- Change detection order changed:
* 1. dirty check component inputs
* 2. dirty check content children
* 3. update render nodes

TL;DR: Modify pubspec.yaml files to use the recommended "targeted"
transformers. The unified "simple" angular2 transformer still works as
always, but we want to encourage use of the targeted transformers
whereever possible.
See [the wiki](https://github.com/angular/angular/wiki/Advanced-Transformer-Configuration)
for details about targeted transformers.
See #1872
BREAKING CHANGE:
- Platform pipes can only contain types and arrays of types,
but no bindings any more.
- When using transformers, platform pipes need to be specified explicitly
in the pubspec.yaml via the new config option
`platform_pipes`.
- `Compiler.compileInHost` now returns a `HostViewFactoryRef`
- Component view is not yet created when component constructor is called.
-> use `onInit` lifecycle callback to access the view of a component
- `ViewRef#setLocal` has been moved to new type `EmbeddedViewRef`
- `internalView` is gone, use `EmbeddedViewRef.rootNodes` to access
the root nodes of an embedded view
- `renderer.setElementProperty`, `..setElementStyle`, `..setElementAttribute` now
take a native element instead of an ElementRef
- `Renderer` interface now operates on plain native nodes,
instead of `RenderElementRef`s or `RenderViewRef`s

Currently, core depends on DomRenderer, which depends on the browser.
This means that if you depend on angular2/core, you will always
pull in the browser dom adapter and the browser render, regardless
if you need them or not.
This PR moves the browser dom adapter and the browser renderer out of core.
BREAKING CHANGE
If you import browser adapter or dom renderer directly (not via angular2/core),
you will have to change the import path.
This is part of ongoing work to make core platform-independent.

to configure change detection.
- `RenderElementRef.renderBoundElementIndex` was renamed to `RenderElementRef.boundElementIndex`.
- Removes `ViewLoader`, use `XHRImpl` instead.
Closes#3605
BREAKING CHANGE:
- we don't mark an element as bound any more if it only contains text bindings
E.g. <div>{{hello}}</div>
This changes the indices when using `DebugElement.componentViewChildren` / `DebugElement.children`.
- `@Directive.compileChildren` was removed,
`ng-non-bindable` is now builtin and not a directive any more
- angular no more adds the `ng-binding` class to elements with bindings
- directives are now ordered as they are listed in the View.directives regarding change detection.
Previously they had an undefined order.
- the `Renderer` interface has new methods `createProtoView` and `registerComponentTemplate`. See `DomRenderer` for default implementations.
- reprojection with `ng-content` is now all or nothing per `ng-content` element
- angular2 transformer can't be used in tests that modify directive metadata.
Use `angular2/src/transform/inliner_for_test` transformer instead.
