We are no longer publishing the @angular/bazel package in prepeartion for its removal from the angular/angular repo.
The piece that we still rely on for our own infrastructure will be moved to angular/dev-infra.
PR Close#49093
Speeds up the dev-turnaround by only bundling types when packaging. Currently
bundling occurs for all the `ng_module` targets in devmode.
This has various positive benefits:
* Avoidance of this rather slower operation in development
* 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)
* Allows us to remove the secondary `package.json` files from APF (maybe APF v14? - seems
low-impact). This would clean-up the APF even more and fix resolution issues (like in Vite)

As mentioned in previous commits (check them for more details), `@bazel/typescript`
no longer contains `ts_library`-specific code, so we no longer need that dependency.

As mentioned in the previous commit, integration tests will be declared
in subpackages of `//integration`. For these tests to still rely on the
NPM packages from `HEAD`, we need to update the visibility.
PR Close#44238
Creates, a currently still unused, Bazel transition that will control
a build setting that is enabling the partial compilation mode for
`ng_module` rule targets. This is in preparation of implementing the
Angular Package Format v13 (which should ship in partial compilation).
Note: Various other approaches aside from the `transition` has been
considered. Here is a small summary of the largest ideas that have
been tried for the APF v13 partial compilation refactor.
**Using an aspect for partial compilation in `ng_package`**
Similar to how we had an aspect for ESM5 compilation in the past,
an aspect could be used to create partial compilation prodmode output
for packaging. The aspect would take the existing prodmode compilation
details and "replay" the compilation with a modified tsconfig that
enables partial compilation.
This _can_ work but requires lots of caution and is very prone to
issues. In order to avoid conflicts with the existing prodmode output,
the partial compilation outputs would need to be written to a
sub-directory. This makes module resolution extremely difficult when
`ng_package` creates the FESM bundles. Also it is difficult to merge
multiple of these aspect-compiled folders into a single one for exposing
the non-bundled ESM output. It becomes especially difficult to ensure
that such an aspect target will actually use the _correct_ dependency
type definition when compiled.
e.g. consider a case where a partial compiled target relies on another
Angular target. The dependency will be compiled partially first, but
the other target _needs_ to rely on the partial compilation `d.ts`
output of the dependency (and *NOT* the devmode `.d.ts` output). This
is incorrect and can cause other type-checking issues / or invalid
output. To make this work, the module resolution when invoking
tsc_wrapped would also need to be updated/patched. This is out of scope
and not reasonable to maintain.
**Exposing a third output flavor directly in the rule**
Instead of replying a compilation, we could expose an output flavor
next to `devmode` and `prodmode`. This sounded like the easiest
solution at first, but it will have the same problems as the aspect
approach (in terms of module resoltion and avoiding conflicts of files).
We cannot control how TS emits `.d.ts` or `.js` files (without patching
into the compiler host), so we would need to store the compilation
output in a sub-folder similar to the aspect.. resulting in the same
issues. This is do-able but would require module resolution to be
patched and we do not have control over `@bazel/typescript`. Also,
`@bazel/typescript` does not forsee a third output flavor, so that
logic would need to be changed significantly as well.

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.

* it's tricky to get out of the runfiles tree with `bazel test` as `BUILD_WORKSPACE_DIRECTORY` is not set but I employed a trick to read the `DO_NOT_BUILD_HERE` file that is one level up from `execroot` and that contains the workspace directory. This is experimental and if `bazel test //:test.debug` fails than `bazel run` is still guaranteed to work as `BUILD_WORKSPACE_DIRECTORY` will be set in that context

//integration:bazel-schematics_test PASSED in 317.2s
//integration:bazel_test PASSED in 167.8s

* Skip all integration tests that are now handled by angular_integration_test except the tests that are tracked for payload size; these are:
- cli-hello-world*
- hello_world__closure
* add & pin @babel deps as newer versions of babel break //packages/localize/src/tools/test:test
@babel/core dep had to be pinned to 7.6.4 or else //packages/localize/src/tools/test:test failed. Also //packages/localize uses @babel/generator, @babel/template, @babel/traverse & @babel/types so these deps were added to package.json as they were not being hoisted anymore from @babel/core transitive.
NB: integration/hello_world__systemjs_umd test must run with systemjs 0.20.0
NB: systemjs must be at 0.18.10 for legacy saucelabs job to pass
NB: With Bazel 2.0, the glob for the files to test `"integration/bazel/**"` is empty if integation/bazel is in .bazelignore. This glob worked under these conditions with 1.1.0. I did not bother testing with 1.2.x as not having integration/bazel in .bazelignore is correct.

BREAKING CHANGE:
Angular bazel users using protractor_web_test_suite from @angular/bazel npm package should now switch to the @bazel/protractor npm package.
This should impact very few users and the user's that are impacted have a very easy upgrade path to switch to fetching the protractor_web_test_suite rule via the @bazel/protractor npm package.

The logic to create additional files needed for Bazel are currently
hosted in `ng new`. Such files include the main.*.ts files needed
for AOT and a different angular.json to use Bazel builder, among others.
This commit refactors the logic into `ng add` so that it can be used to
perform the same modifications in an existing project. Users could do so
by running `ng add @angular/bazel`.
With this change, `ng new` effectively becomes an orchestrator that runs
the original `ng new` followed by `ng add @angular/bazel`.
