Switches the syntax for blocks from `{#block}{/block}` to `@block {}` based on the feedback from the community.
Read more about the decision-making process in our blog: https://blog.angular.io/meet-angulars-new-control-flow-a02c6eee7843
The existing block types changed in the following ways:
**Conditional blocks:**
```html
<!-- Before -->
{#if cond}
Main content
{:else if otherCond}
Else if content
{:else}
Else content
{/if}
<!-- After -->
@if (cond) {
Main content
} @else if (otherCond) {
Else if content
} @else {
Else content
}
```
**Deferred blocks**
```html
<!-- Before -->
{#defer when isLoaded}
Main content
{:loading} Loading...
{:placeholder} <icon>pending</icon>
{:error} Failed to load
{/defer}
<!-- After -->
@defer (when isLoaded) {
Main content
} @loading {
Loading...
} @placeholder {
<icon>pending</icon>
} @error {
Failed to load
}
```
**Switch blocks:**
```html
<!-- Before -->
{#switch value}
{:case 1}
One
{:case 2}
Two
{:default}
Default
{/switch}
<!-- After -->
@switch (value) {
@case (1) {
One
}
@case (2) {
Two
}
@default {
Default
}
}
```
**For loops**
```html
<!-- Before -->
{#for item of items; track item}
{{item.name}}
{:empty} No items
{/for}
<!-- After -->
@for (item of items; track item) {
{{item.name}}
} @empty {
No items
}
```
PR Close#51891
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.
PR Close#51637
Adds support for `on viewport` and `prefetch on viewport` triggers which will load the deferred content when the element comes into the view.
PR Close#51874
Adds support for `on hover` and `prefetch on hover` triggers. Some code had to be moved around so it could be reused from the `on interaction` triggers.
PR Close#51874
Updates the logic that generates the instructions for the `on interaction` and `prefetch on interaction` triggers to their final shape. Now the instructions take two arguments:
1. `triggerIndex` - index at which to find the trigger in the view where it will be rendered.
2. `walkUpTimes` - tells the runtime how many views up it needs to go to find the trigger element. If the argument is omitted, it means that the trigger is in the same view as the deferred block. A positive number means that the runtime needs to go up X amount of times to find the trigger. A negative number means that the trigger is inside the root view of the placeholder block. Negative numbers are capped at -1 since the placeholder is always in the same position at runtime.
PR Close#51830
Reworks the compiler to use the API introduced in #51816 to match triggers to the element nodes they point to. This will be used to generate the new instructions for `on interaction` and `prefetch on interaction`.
PR Close#51830
So far this docs extraction has pulls API info from all exported symbols in the program. This commit changes to extracting only symbols that are exported via a specified entry-point. This commit also exports the docs entities through the compiler-cli `index.ts`.
PR Close#51828
Currently the compiler in local mode assumes that the standalone component imports are array expressions. This is not always true as they can be const variables as well. This change allow non-array expressions for standalone component imports field and passes that expression to the downstream tools such as deps tracker to compute the component's deps in runtime.
PR Close#51819
Current implementation assumes that NgModule imports/exports fields are always arrays and thus it concats them for the injector definition. But this is not always the case and imports/exports could be non-arrays such as const variable. Such pattern happens in g3 and so must be addressed.
PR Close#51819
Adds support for template type checking of the `track` expression of a `for` loop block. Tracking expressions are treated as any other expression for type checking, however we have some special validation that doesn't allow them to access template variables and local references.
PR Close#51690
Adds support for template type checking inside `for` blocks. It is implemented by generating a JS `for...of` statement inside the TCB. The various loop variables (e.g. `$index`) are implemented by declaring a local number variable.
PR Close#51690
Adds support for template type checking inside `if` blocks. It is implemented by generating a JS `if` statement inside the TCB which allows us to do type narrowing of the expression. The `as` parameter is implemented by declaring a variable inside the `if` statement.
PR Close#51690
Adds support for template type checking inside `switch` blocks. It is implemented by generating a JS `switch` statement inside the TCB which allows us to do type narrowing of the expression.
PR Close#51690
When the `TargetBinder` was written, the only embedded-view-based nodes were templates, but now we have `{#if}`, `{#switch}` and `{#defer}` which have similar semantics. These changes rework the binder to account for the new nodes.
PR Close#51816
Content project allows the content to specify its own selector for matching against content projection slots, using the `ngProjectAs` special attribute. We can now treat this attribue specially, and generate the appropriate flag in the consts array, followed by the parsed CSS selector.
PR Close#51544
Supporting content projection requires us to emit three new kinds of output:
1. An `ngContentSelectors` field on the component metadata, which points to an array in the constant pool with all of the `select` attributes from `<ng-content>` elements.
2. One `projectionDef` instruction at the beginning of each root view template function for a component. That `projectionDef` points to a constant pool expression, which contains *parsed* selectors for all `<ng-content>` elements in the root's entire view tree.
3. A `projection` instruction for each `<ng-content>` slot in the view tree. These each get a data slot, a monotonically increasing "content slot", and a pointer to the tag's attributes in the component const array.
We support the first two features entirely within a new compilation phase.
The third feature, collection of processed attributes, is a bit trickier. We now treat `<ng-content>` tags as element-like ops, and use the normal attribute ingestion pipeline to process any attributes, and assign the appropriate `ConstIndex`.
**Note**: We also split up a number of the tests into two expectations files, one for the view functions, and one for other const listerals from the constant pool. This is because `TemplateDefinitionBuilder` emits the literals in a quirky order (mixed in with the view functions) due to how it lazily generates view functions. Our eager ordering is totally different, but by splitting the expectations, we can still share the same tests with `TemplateDefinitionBuilder`.
PR Close#51544
Today in local compilation mode the NgModule bootstrap definition is moved as it is into the runtime `ɵɵdefineNgModule`. This runtime was initially made for AoT full compilation mode and assumes that the bootstrap info is already flattened and resolved. This is not the case in local compilation where the bootstrap is the raw expression coming from the NgModule decorator and can be a nested array. To get around this problem we move the bootstrap along with other scope info (e.g., declarations, imports, exports) to the runtime`ɵɵsetNgModuleScope` to be further analyzed and flattened in runtime.

Adds extraction for accessors (getters/setters), rest params, and resolved type info for everything so far. This also refactors function extraction into a new class and splits tests for common class info and directive info into separate files.
PR Close#51733
Based on top of #51685
This expands on the extraction with information for directives, including inputs and outputs. As part of this change, I've refactored the extraction code related to class and to directives into their own extractor classes to more cleanly separate extraction logic based on type of statement.
PR Close#51733
Based on top of #51682
This expands on the skeleton previously added to extract docs info for classes, including properties, methods, and method parameters. Type information and Angular-specific info (e.g. inputs) will come in future PRs.
PR Close#51733
This commit adds a barebones skeleton for extracting information to be used for extracting info that can be used for API reference generation. Subsequent PRs will expand on this with increasingly real extraction. I started with @alxhub's #51615 and very slightly polished to get to this minimal commit.
PR Close#51733
Another try at deflaking the tests on Windows. I'm trying a couple of fixes here:
1. I noticed that it's usually the indexer tests that fail during flaky runs. These tests also happen to be the only ones that don't pass in the `files` argument of `NgtscTestEnvironment.setup`. When `files` isn't passed in, we don't hit the file path that sets up the `MockFileSystem`. With these changes I make it so that we always initialize the mock file system.
2. The missing file system error usually comes from the `absoluteFrom` call that initializes the optional `workingDir` argument. My theory is that because it's a default value for an argument, it gets called too early before everything is initialized. These changes move the `absoluteFrom` call further down until it's needed.

BREAKING CHANGE: Node.js v16 support has been removed and the minimum support version has been bumped to 18.13.0.
Node.js v16 is planned to be End-of-Life on 2023-09-11. Angular will stop supporting Node.js v16 in Angular v17. For Node.js release schedule details, please see: https://github.com/nodejs/release#release-schedule
PR Close#51755
The `verifyPlaceholdersIntegrity` check in the compliance tests was basically a noop, because it was returning false inside a `forEach` callback. Fixing it revealed that it had fallen out of date, because one of the regexes it uses was incorrect. The problem is that it assumed the placeholder keys would always be string literals, however it's possible that they're identifiers. These changes resolve the issue by not looking at the keys at all since we don't do anything with them.
PR Close#51751
Adds support for passing in `@Component.styles` as a string. Also introduces a new `styleUrl` property on `@Component` for providing a single stylesheet. This is more convenient for the most common case where a component only has one stylesheet associated with it.

The code for detecting a Windows CI run from #51701 didn't work, because Bazel isolates the environment variables. These changes work around the issue by passing in a custom variable with the `--test_env` flag.

Currently internally Angular has some customized tsconfig files, because we don't align with the tsconfig of the rest of g3. These changes enable `noImplicitReturns` and `noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature` to align better with the internal config.
PR Close#51728
Reworks the pure functions to use arrow functions with an implicit return instead of function expressions. This allows us to shave off some bytes for each pure function, because we can avoid some of the syntax.
PR Close#51668
These changes build on top of #51514 to add support for advanced expressions inside the `track` parameter of `for` loop blocks. There are two different outputs that the compiler can generate:
1. If the tracking function only references the item or `$index`, the compiler generates a pure arrow function as a constant references in the `repeaterCreate` instruction.
2. If the tracking function has references to properties outside of the `for` loop block, the compiler will rewrite those references to go through `this` and generate a function declaration. The runtime will `bind` the declaration to the current component instance so that the rewritten `this` references are resolved correctly.
Advanced tracking expression come with the following limitations to ensure the best possible performance:
1. They can only reference the item, `$index` and properties directly on the component instance. This means that there'll be an error when accessing this like local template variables and references. While we could get this to work, we would have to traverse the context tree at runtime which will degrade the performance of the loop, because it's a linear time operation that is performed on each comparison. Furthermore, allowing local references would require us re-evaluate the list when any one of them has changed.
2. Pipes aren't allowed inside the tracking function.
3. Object literals and pipes used inside the tracking expression will be recreated on each invocation.
PR Close#51618
Adds type checking for the contents of `if`, `switch` and `for` blocks.
**Note:** this is just an initial implementation to get some basic type checking working and to figure out the testing setup. We'll need special TCB structures for this syntax so that we can support type narrowing.

`NGMODULE_VE_DEPENDENCY_ON_IVY_LIB` was a ViewEngine related error. This commit removes the doc page but keeps a redirection for older versions still throwing this error.

With the new control flow and defer blocks it'll be common for several template instructions to be declare one after another. These changes add support for chaining to the `template` instruction which will allow us to save some bytes.
PR Close#51546
Adds the initial implementation to generate the instructions for the `for` loop block.
**Note:** the expressions we support in the `track` paramateter are currently limited to tracking by identity or index, or a specific property of the item. Supporting more advanced expression will require additional work that I'll do in a follow-up PR.
