This commit removes the direct dependency on TypeScript within the linker, addressing a performance overhead that was adding between 500ms to 1s to compilation times for applications. The primary cause of this overhead was the linker's direct reliance on TypeScript's which was caused by importing from barrel files. While convenient, barrel files are detrimental to code splitting and code motion. They force the bundling of all exported modules, even if only a subset is actually used. By removing the usage of this barrel file and restructuring the imports to be more granular, we can avoid unnecessary TypeScript imports. Furthermore, TypeScript has now been changed to an optional peer dependency as using only the linker does not require TypeScript. PR Close #61618 |

Angular Linker
This package contains a FileLinker and supporting code to be able to "link" partial declarations of components, directives, etc in libraries to produce the full definitions.
The partial declaration format allows library packages to be published to npm without exposing the underlying Ivy instructions.
The tooling here allows application build tools (e.g. CLI) to produce fully compiled components, directives, etc at the point when the application is bundled.
These linked files can be cached outside node_modules so it does not suffer from problems of mutating packages in node_modules.
Generally this tooling will be wrapped in a transpiler specific plugin, such as the provided Babel plugin.
Unit Testing
The unit tests are built and run using Bazel:
yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/linker/test
