When generating .d.ts metadata for NgModules, by default we emit type
references to their declarations, imports, and exports. However, this
information is not necessarily useful to consumers. References to private
directives (those that aren't exported by the NgModule) for example aren't
at all useful as they can only affect other components declared in the
NgModule. References to imports are of limited usefulness - they might be
helpful for an IDE to understand the DI structure of an application, but
aren't at all used by a downstream compiler.
Generating this metadata is not without cost. When an incremental build
system uses changes in inputs to determine when a rebuild is necessary, any
changes in .d.ts files might cause downstream targets to rebuild. If those
.d.ts changes are in the "private" side of the NgModule (imports or non-
exported directives/pipes), then these rebuilds are wholly unnecessary.
This commit introduces the `onlyPublishPublicTypingsForNgModules` flag for
the compiler. When this flag is set, the compiler will filter the emitted
references in NgModule .d.ts output and only reference those directives/
pipes that are exported from the NgModule (its public API surface). Omitting
the flag preserves the existing behavior of emitting all references, both
public and private.
This is especially useful for build systems such as Bazel.

In v14, the partial compilation output of components have changed in a way
that prevents older versions of Angular to compile the partial declarations
correctly.
In particular, we used to emit used directives/components in separate arrays called
`components` and `directives`, and used pipes in a property called `pipes`:
```js
TestComponent.ɵcmp = i0.ɵɵngDeclareComponent({
minVersion: "12.0.0",
version: "13.3.0",
type: TestComponent,
selector: "ng-component",
ngImport: i0,
template: ``,
isInline: true,
directives: [{ type: i1.SomeDir, selector: "[some-dir]" }],
components: [{ type: i1.SomeCmp, selector: "some-cmp" }],
pipes: { 'async': i2.AsyncPipe },
});
```
In the above example, the `version` property indicates which exact compiler
version was used to compile the component, but the `minVersion` allows older
versions of the compiler/Angular linker to "link" the partial declaration to
its final AOT compilation output.
In v14, the used directives, components and pipes are now emitted together
into a single array under the `dependencies` property:
```js
TestComponent.ɵcmp = i0.ɵɵngDeclareComponent({
minVersion: "12.0.0",
version: "13.3.0",
type: TestComponent,
selector: "ng-component",
ngImport: i0,
template: ``,
isInline: true,
dependencies: [
{ kind: "directive", type: i1.SomeDir, selector: "[some-dir]" },
{ kind: "component", type: i1.SomeCmp, selector: "some-cmp" },
{ kind: "pipe", type: i2.AsyncPipe },
],
});
```
This change has been made in support of standalone components, but it does mean
that older compiler versions can no longer link these partial declarations
as desirable as none of the components, directives and pipes would be included
in the AOT-compiled code.
By increasing the `minVersion` property, we hint to older compiler versions that
they are not capable of processing the partial declaration. This allows reporting
an error at compile time instead of resulting in runtime failures due to missing
components, directives and pipes.

This commit adds a type field to .d.ts metadata for directives, components,

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).

Angular contains an NgModule registry, which allows a user to declare
NgModules with string ids and retrieve them via those ids, using the
`getNgModuleById` API.
Previously, we attempted to structure this registration in a clever fashion
to allow for tree-shaking of registered NgModules (that is, those with ids).
This sort of worked due to the accidental alignment of behaviors from the
different tree-shakers involved. However, this trick relies on the
generation of `.ngfactory` files and how they're specifically processed in
various bundling scenarios. We intend to remove `.ngfactory` files, hence
we can no longer rely on them in this way.
The correct solution here is to recognize that `@NgModule({id})` is
inherently declaring a global side-effect, and such classes should not
really be eligible for tree-shaking in the first place. This commit removes
all the old registration machinery, and standardizes on generating a side-
effectful call to `registerNgModuleType` for NgModules that have ids.
There is some risk here that NgModules with unnecessary `id`s may not
tree-shake as a result of this change, whereas they would have in previous
circumstances. The fix here should be to remove the `id` if it's not needed.
Specifying an `id` is a request that the NgModule be retained regardless of
any other references, in case it is later looked up by string id.
PR Close#45024
The `compileNgModule` operation previously supported a flag `emitInline`,
which controlled whether template scoping information for the NgModule was
emitted directly into the compiled NgModule definition, or whether an
associated statement was generated which patched the information onto the
NgModule definition. Both options are useful in different contexts.
This commit changes this flag to an enum (and renames it), which allows for
a third option - do not emit any template scoping information. This option
is added to better represent the actual behavior of the Angular Linker,
which sometimes configures `compileNgModule` to use the side-effectful
statement generation but which does not actually emit such associated
statements. In other words, the linker effectively does not generate
scoping information for NgModules at all (in some configurations) and this
option more directly expresses that behavior.
This is a refactoring as no generated code is changed as a result of
introducing this flag, due to the linker's behavior of not emitting
associated statements.

When parsing interpolations, the input string is _decoded_ from what was
in the orginal template. This means that we cannot soley rely on the input
string to compute source spans because it does not necessarily reflect
the exact content of the original template. Specifically, when there is
an HTML entity (i.e. ` `), this will show up in its decoded form
when processing the interpolation (' '). We need to compute offsets
using the original _encoded_ string.
Note that this problem only surfaces in the splitting of interpolations.
The spans to this point have already been tracked accurately. For
example, given the template ` <div></div>`, the source span for the
`div` is already correctly determined to be 6. Only when we encounter
interpolations with many parts do we run into situations where we need
to compute new spans for the individual parts of the interpolation.

In templates with several levels of nested nodes, it's common for several `elementStart`/`elementEnd` instructions to show up in a row which can be optimized away.

PR Close#44994
Previously the logic for generating chained instructions was somewhat rigid, because we had to collect all of the calls ahead of time and then call one of the chained instruction helpers. This doesn't work for something like `elementStart`, because we have to descend into other elements that could add to the chain.
These changes refactor the code so that we collect the list of instructions in a flat array and we do the chaining only once at the end when we have the entire instruction set for the code block.
The new approach has the advantage of being (almost) entirely configuration-based via the `CHAINABLE_INSTRUCTIONS` array and being more flexible in allowing us to chain instructions that span across elements.
PR Close#44994
For two-way-bindings that use the banana-in-a-box syntax, the compiler
synthesizes an event assignment expression from the primary expression.
It is valid for the primary expression to be terminated by the non-null
operator, however naive string substitution is used for the synthesized
expression, such that the `!` would immediately precede the `=` token,
resulting in the valid `!=` operator token. The expression would still
parse correctly but it doesn't implement the proper semantics, resulting
in incorrect runtime behavior.
Changing the expression substitution to force a space between the
primary expression and the assignment avoids this mistake, but it
uncovers a new issue. The grammar does not allow for the LHS of an
assignment to be the non-null operator, so the synthesized expression
would fail to parse. To alleviate this, the synthesized expression is
parsed with a special parser flag to allow for this syntax.

An `ng-template` with an inline template (i.e. has a structural
directive) would previously not get an `undefined` `tagName` because the
logic assumed the element would be `t.Element` or `t.Content` and read
the tag name from the `name` property. For a `t.Template`, this exists
instead on the `t.tagName`. The final result would be an `tagName` of `undefined`
for the parent `t.Template`, causing failures in the indexer downstream.
This `undefined` value is actually expected in the renderer code, even
though the type does not specify this possibility. This change updates
the type of `tagName` to be `string|null` and explicitly handles the
case where there is a structural directive on an `ng-template`. You can
see how the two are differentiated in the compliance code that was
modified in this commit.

When a partially compiled component or directive is "linked" in JIT mode, the body
of its declaration is evaluated by the JavaScript runtime. If a class is referenced
in a query (e.g. `ViewQuery` or `ContentQuery`) but its definition is later in the
file, then the reference must be wrapped in a `forwardRef()` call.
Previously, query predicates were not wrapped correctly in partial declarations
causing the code to crash at runtime. In AOT mode, this code is never evaluated
but instead transformed as part of the build, so this bug did not become apparent
until Angular Material started running JIT mode tests on its distributable output.
This change fixes this problem by noting when queries are wrapped in `forwardRef()`
calls and ensuring that this gets passed through to partial compilation declarations
and then suitably stripped during linking.

Currently the compiler has three different classes to represent a "call to something":
1. `MethodCall` - `foo.bar()`
2. `SafeMethodCall` - `foo?.bar()`.
3. `FunctionCall` - Any calls that don't fit into the first two classes. E.g. `foo.bar()()`.
There are a few problems with this approach:
1. It is inconistent with the TypeScript AST which only has one node: `CallExpression`.
2. It means that we have to maintain more code, because the various parts of the compiler need to know about three node types.
3. It doesn't allow us to easily implement some new JS features like safe calls (e.g. `foo.bar?.())`).
These changes rework the compiler so that it produces only one node: `Call`. The new node behaves similarly to the TypeScript `CallExpression` whose `receiver` can be any expression.
There was a similar situation in the output AST where we had an `InvokeMethodExpression` and `InvokeFunctionExpression`. I've combined both of them into `InvokeFunctionExpression`.
