This commit replaces `fake_core` with the real `@angular/core`
output. See previous commit for reasons.
Overall, this commit:
* Replaces references of `fake_core`
* Fixes tests that were testing Angular compiler detection that _would_
already be flagged by type-checking of TS directly. We keep these
tests for now, and add `@ts-ignore` to verify the Angular checks, in
case type checking is disabled in user applications- but it's worth
considering to remove these tests. Follow-up question/non-priority.
* Adds `@ts-ignore` to the tests for `defer` 1P because the property is
marked as `@internal` and now is (correctly) causing failures in the
compiler test environment.
* Fixes a couple of tests with typos, wrong properties etc that
previously weren't detected! A good sign.

Reworks a few more places to output arrow functions instead of function declarations in order to reduce the amount of code we generate. Some of these places include:
* Factories in injectable definitions.
* Forward references.
* `dependencies` function in the component definition.
* `consts` function in the component definition.
PR Close#52010
Reworks the `setClassMetadata` calls to generate arrow functions instead of full anonymous function declarations. While this won't have an effect on production bundle sizes, it's easier to read and it should lead to small parsing time gains in dev mode.

If a library is compiling with Angular v16.1.0, the library will break
for users that are still on Angular v16.0.x. This happens because the
`DirectiveDeclaration` or `ComponentDeclaration` types are not expecting
an extra field for `signals` metadata. This field was only added to the
generic types in `16.1.0`- so compilations fail with errors like this:
```
Error: node_modules/@angular/material/icon/index.d.ts:204:18 -
error TS2707: Generic type 'ɵɵComponentDeclaration' requires between 7 and 9 type arguments.
```
To fix this, we quickly roll back the code for inserting this metadata
field. That way, libraries remain compatible with all v16.x framework
versions.
We continue to include the `signals` metadata if `signals: true` is set.
This is not public API anyway right now- so cannot happen- but imagine
we expose some signal APIs in e.g. 16.2.x, then we'd need this metadata
and can reasonably expect signal-component library users to use a more
recent framework core version.
PR Close#50714
This commit adds the `signals: boolean` property to the internal
directive/component metadata. This does not add it to the public API
yet, as the feature has no internal support other than compiler
detection.

NgModules which import standalone components currently list those components
in their injector definitions, because we assume that any standalone
component may export providers from its own imports.
This commit adds an optimization for that emit, which attempts to statically
analyze the NgModule imports and determine which standalone components, if
any are present, do not export providers and thus can be omitted.
This analysis is imperfect, because some imported components may be declared
outside of the current compilation, or transitively import types which are
declared outside the compilation. These types are therefore _assumed_ to
carry providers and so the optimization isn't applied to them.
PR Close#49837
For standalone components it may be beneficial to group multiple declarations
into a single array, that can then be imported all at once in `Component.imports`.
If this array is declared within a library, however, would the AOT compiler
need to extract the contents of the array from the declaration file. This
requires that the array is constructed using an `as const` cast, which results
in a readonly tuple declaration in the generated .d.ts file of the library:
```ts
export declare const DECLARATIONS: readonly [typeof StandaloneDir];
```
The partial evaluator logic did not support this syntax, so this pattern was
not functional when a library is involved. This commit adds the necessary
logic in the static interpreter to evaluate this type at compile time.

This is the compile-time implementation of the `hostDirectives` feature plus a little bit of runtime code to illustrate how the newly-generated code will plug into the runtime. It works by creating a call to the new `ɵɵHostDirectivesFeature` feature whenever a directive has a `hostDirectives` field. Afterwards `ɵɵHostDirectivesFeature` will patch a new function onto the directive definition that will be invoked during directive matching.
For example, if we take the following definition:
```ts
@Directive({
hostDirectives: [HostA, {directive: HostB, inputs: ['input: alias']}]
})
class MyDir {}
```
Will compile to:
```js
MyDir.ɵdir = ɵɵdefineComponent({
features: [ɵɵHostDirectivesFeature([HostA, {
directive: HostB,
inputs: {
input: "alias"
}
}])]
});
```
The template type checking is implemented during directive matching by adding the host directives applied on the host to the array of matched directives whenever the host is matched in a template.
Relates to #8785.

Angular generally supports cycles between components in the same NgModule.
We have a mechanism of moving the component scope declaration into the
NgModule file in this case. This ensures that Angular never itself
introduces an import which creates a cycle.
What happens if the cycle already exists in the user's program, though, is a
bit different. In these cases, the "correct" emit for Angular is to generate
the component scope (whether direct or remote) inside of a closure, to
prevent evaluating the scope's references until module evaluation is
complete and all cyclic imports have been resolved. We don't want to do this
for *all* scopes because the code size cost of emitting a function wrapper
is non-zero.
In this fix, we take the presence of a `forwardRef` in a component's
`imports` or in an NgModule `declarations` or `imports` as a sign that
component scopes emitted into those files need to be protected against
cyclic references. In a future commit, we may introduce a warning or error
if cyclic imports are not protected behind `forwardRef` in these cases, but
this will take some time to implement.

This commit improves the reported error when importing e.g. `RouterModule.forRoot()`
from within `Component.imports`. Such import is not supported, as standalone components
can only refer to other standalone entities or NgModules in their `imports` array;
`ModuleWithProviders` are not supported as `Component.imports` is meant to be used
for the compilation scope of the component, _not_ for configuring DI.
Closes#46003
PR Close#46009
This commit fixes a small issue in the logic around the calculation of
template scopes for standalone components. These scopes include a
`Reference` for each dependency of a standalone component, which is used to
generate references to that dependency in various contexts.
Previously, the `Reference` used for a dependency was the one generated from
its own metadata. For example, a referenced directive used the `Reference`
that was created when analyzing the directive declaration itself. This still
works, as the compiler is always able to emit a reference to any valid
`Reference`. However, it's not optimal.
The `Reference` which should be used instead is the one generated from
analyzing the standalone component's `imports` array, which has knowledge of
how the dependency is referenced from within the standalone component's file
itself. This allows the compiler to skip creating a new import for the
dependency when emitting the standalone component, and use the existing,
user-authored import instead. This saves on code size and avoids taxing the
bundler with unnecessary imports.
PR Close#46029
The Angular compiler performs cycle detection when generating imports within
component files. This was previously necessary as reifying dependencies
discovered via NgModules into the component output could add imports that
weren't present in the original component and potentially create cycles.
Doing this could cause order-of-execution issues with existing user imports,
so the compiler detects this case and falls back to an alternative way of
specifying component dependencies that doesn't risk creating cycles.
For standalone components, Angular does not need to add new imports to the
component file as the user has already explicitly referenced dependencies
in the `@Component.imports`. As a result, the cycle detection can be
skipped.
Correctly authoring a program with import cycles is always challenging. One
side of a cyclic import will always initially evaluate to `undefined`, and
this can result in errors in the component definition when this happens
within component `imports`.
Our compiler _could_ detect the cycle and choose to wrap the component
dependencies in an automatic closure instead, avoiding any issues with
`undefined` during an eager evaluation. However, this commit makes an active
choice not to do that as it only serves to mask the problems with cyclic
imports. Future refactorings may cause the "other half" of the cycle to
break. Users should instead be aware of the potential problems with cycles
and explicitly defer evaluations with `forwardRef` where needed. This
ensures that future implementations of Angular compilation which may not be
able to automatically detect import cycles and correct accordingly can still
compile such components.

This commit improves the error message for using `imports` on a component
that isn't set to `standalone: true`. Two concrete improvements are made:
* A related information message is added to the diagnostic which suggests
the fix of adding `standalone: true`.
* The component is marked as poisoned, preventing other errors which might
be caused by an incorrectly configured template scope from being generated
and thus masking the original problem.

Before standalone, everything that could appear in an NgModule's `imports`
was relevant to DI, and needed to be emitted in the `imports` of the
generated `InjectorDef` definition. With the introduction of standalone
types, NgModule `imports` can now contain components, directives, and pipes
which are standalone. Only standalone components need to be included in
the `imports` of the generated injector definition - directives and pipes
have no effect on DI. Having them present doesn't cause any errors in the
runtime (they're filtered out by the injector itself) but it does prevent
tree-shaking.
With this commit, the generation of `InjectorDef` now filters the `imports`
to exclude directives and pipes as much as possible. It's not _always_
possible because an expression in `imports` may pull in both a directive and
a `ModuleWithProviders` reference, and we have no way of referencing just
the MWP part of that expression. Therefore this is an optimization, not a
rule of `InjectorDef` compilation.

This commit bundles tests for standalone components that are possible after
previous implementation commits. Most new tests are compliance tests, but
a test is also included to validate that the template type-checking system
can work with standalone components as well.
PR Close#45672
This commit adds a type field to .d.ts metadata for directives, components,
and pipes which carries a boolean literal indicating whether the given type
is standalone or not. For backwards compatibility, this flag defaults to
`false`.
Tests are added to validate that standalone types coming from .d.ts files
can be correctly imported into new standalone components.
PR Close#45672
Standalone component scopes were first implemented in the
`ComponentDecoratorHandler` itself, due to an assumption that "standalone"
allowed for a localized analysis of the component's dependencies. However,
this is not strictly true. Other compiler machinery also needs to understand
component scopes, including standalone component scopes. A good example is
the template type-checking engine, which uses a `ComponentScopeReader` to
build full metadata objects (that is, metadata that considers the entire
inheritance chain) for type-checking purposes. Therefore, the
`ComponentScopeReader` should be able to give the scope for a standalone
component.
To achieve this, a new `StandaloneComponentScopeReader` is implemented, and
the return type of `ComponentScopeReader.getScopeForComponent` is expanded
to express standalone scopes. This cleanly integrates the "standalone"
concept into the existing machinery.

This commit expands on the unified dependency tracking in the previous
commit and adds tracking of NgModule dependencies. These are not used for
standard components, but are emitted for standalone components to allow the

Previously, the compiler would represent template dependencies of a
component in its component definition through separate fields (`directives`,
`pipes`).
This commit refactors the compiler/runtime interface to use a single field
(`dependencies`). The runtime component definition object still has separate
`directiveDefs` and `pipeDefs`, which are calculated from the `dependencies`
when the definition is evaluated.
This change is also reflected in partially compiled declarations. To ensure
compatibility with partially compiled code already on NPM, the linker
will still honor the old form of declaration (with separate fields).
