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. PR Close #45894 |

Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc)
This compiler will convert node_modules compiled with ngc, into node_modules which
appear to have been compiled with ngtsc.
This conversion will allow such "legacy" packages to be used by the Ivy rendering engine.
Building
The project is built using Bazel:
yarn bazel build //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc
Unit Testing
The unit tests are built and run using Bazel:
yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc/test
Integration Testing
There are tests that check the behavior of the overall executable:
yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc/test:integration
