Previously, `setDisabledState` was never called when attached if the control is enabled. This PR fixes the bug, and creates a configuration option to opt-out of the fix.
Fixes#35309.
BREAKING CHANGE: setDisabledState will always be called when a `ControlValueAccessor` is attached. You can opt-out with `FormsModule.withConfig` or `ReactiveFormsModule.withConfig`.

This commit exports existing utility functions to check for control instances:
isFormControl, isFormGroup, isFormRecord, isFormArray
Those are useful when implementing validators that use the specifics of one of those control types.
To narrow down the type to what it actually is, we can now use the util functions in validators:
```
export const myArrayValidator: ValidatorFn = (control) => {
if (!isFormArray(control)) { return null; }
// now you can use FormArray-specific members, e.g.:
if (control.controls.every(c => !!c.value) {
return { myerror: true }
} else { return null; }
}
```

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.

DEPRECATED:
It is now deprecated to provide *both* `AbstractControlOption`s and an async validators argument to a FormControl. Previously, the async validators would just be silently dropped, resulting in a probably buggy forms. Now, the constructor call is deprecated, and Angular will print a warning in devmode.
DEPRECATED:
The `initialValueIsDefault` option has been deprecated and replaced with the otherwise-identical `nonNullable` option, for the sake of naming consistency.

Consider a typed group for storing contact information:
```
declare interface ContactControls {
name: FormControl<string|null>;
}
contactForm: FormGroup<ContactControls> = ...;
saveForm(form: FormGroup<ContactControls>) {
service.newContact(contactForm.value);
}
```
What should be the type of `newContact`? The answer, of course, is the value type:
```
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>>) {}
}
```

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:
```
constructor(private fb: NonNullableFormBuilder) {}
```
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'}
```

Previously, the following code would fail to compile:
```
let form: FormGroup<{email: FormControl<string | null>}>;
form = fb.group({
email: ['', Validators.required]
});
```
This is because the compiler was unable to properly infer the inner type of `ControlConfig` arrays in some cases. The same issue applies to `FormArray` as well under certain circumstances.
This change cleans up the `FormBuilder` type signatures to always use the explicit Element type, and to catch `ControlConfig` types that might fall through.

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.

As part of the typed forms RFC, we proposed the creation of a new FormRecord type, to support dynamic groups with homogenous values. This PR introduces FormRecord, as a subclass of FormGroup.
PR Close#45607
This PR strongly types the forms package by adding generics to AbstractControl classes as well as FormBuilder. This makes forms type-safe and null-safe, for both controls and values.
The design uses a "control-types" approach. In other words, the type parameter on FormGroup is an object containing controls, and the type parameter on FormArray is an array of controls.
Special thanks to Alex Rickabaugh and Andrew Kushnir for co-design & implementation, to Sonu Kapoor and Netanel Basal for illustrative prior art, and to Cédric Exbrayat for extensive testing and validation.
BREAKING CHANGE: Forms classes accept a generic.
Forms model classes now accept a generic type parameter. Untyped versions of these classes are available to opt-out of the new, stricter behavior.

of putting golden API reports into the golden folder as per their original
location in the NPM package, golden reports are now stored based on the

As part of this change, since the API golden rule now consutls the NPM package
`exports` field, the `localize/tools` entry-point golden file is now generated.
Previously it wasn't generated due to it not having a secondary entry-point
`package.json` file. Such package json files should not be needed anymore

Currently, there is a freestanding `getRawValue` function which examines the type of the control. This is an issue for refactoring `model.ts` because it creates unnecessary dependencies between the `AbstractControl` classes. It is cleaner to simply add this method to the model hierarchy and call it directly, and will ease upcoming refactoring.

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 logic of the `min` and `max` validators to allow
disabling them dynamically in case `null` is provided as a value. For example: `<input
type="number" [min]="minValue">`, when `minValue` might be set to `null` in a

validators earlier (see #42565).

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.
