Template type-checking is enabled by default in the View Engine compiler.
The feature in Ivy is not quite ready for this yet, so this flag will
temporarily control whether templates are type-checked in ngtsc.
The goal is to remove this flag after rolling out template type-checking in
google3 in Ivy mode, and making sure the feature is as compatible with the
View Engine implementation as possible.
Initially, the default value of the flag will leave checking disabled.

This commit adds support for template type-checking a pipe binding which
previously was not handled by the type-checking engine. In compatibility
mode, the arguments to transform() are not checked and the type returned
by a pipe is 'any'. In full type-checking mode, the transform() method's
type signature is used to check the pipe usage and infer the return type
of the pipe.
Testing strategy: TCB tests included.
PR Close#29698
The template type-checking engine previously would assemble a type-checking
program by inserting Type Check Blocks (TCBs) into existing user files. This
approach proved expensive, as TypeScript has to re-parse and re-type-check
those files when processing the type-checking program.
Instead, a far more performant approach is to augment the program with a
single type-checking file, into which all TCBs are generated. Additionally,
type constructors are also inlined into this file.
This is not always possible - both TCBs and type constructors can sometimes
require inlining into user code, particularly if bound generic type
parameters are present, so the approach taken is actually a hybrid. These
operations are inlined if necessary, but are otherwise generated in a single
file.
It is critically important that the original program also include an empty
version of the type-checking file, otherwise the shape of the two programs
will be different and TypeScript will throw away all the old program
information. This leads to a painfully slow type checking pass, on the same
order as the original program creation. A shim to generate this file in the
original program is therefore added.
Testing strategy: this commit is largely a refactor with no externally
observable behavioral differences, and thus no tests are needed.
PR Close#29698
This commit adds support in the template type-checking engine for handling
the logical not operation and the safe navigation operation.
Safe navigation in particular is tricky, as the View Engine implementation
has a rather inconvenient flaw. View Engine checks a safe navigation
operation `a?.b` as:
```typescript
(a != null ? a!.b : null as any)
```
The type of this expression is always 'any', as the false branch of the
ternary has type 'any'. Thus, using null-safe navigation throws away the
type of the result, and breaks type-checking for the rest of the expression.
A flag is introduced in the type-checking configuration to allow Ivy to
mimic this behavior when needed.
Testing strategy: TCB tests included.
PR Close#29698
View Engine's implementation of naive template type-checking is less
advanced than the current Ivy implementation. As a result, Ivy catches lots
of typing bugs which VE does not. As a result, it's necessary to tone down
the Ivy template type-checker in the default case.
This commit introduces a mechanism for doing that, by passing a config to
the template type-checking engine. Through this configuration, particular
checks can be loosened or disabled entirely.

Previously the template type-checking code only considered the metadata of
directive classes actually referenced in the template. If those directives
had base classes, any inputs/outputs/etc of the base classes were not
tracked when generating the TCB. This resulted in bindings to those inputs
being incorrectly attributed to the host component or element.
This commit uses the new metadata package to follow directive inheritance
chains and use the full metadata for a directive for TCB generation.

Previously, metadata registration (the recording of collected metadata
during analysis of directives, pipes, and NgModules) was only used to
produce the `LocalModuleScope`, and thus was handled by the
`LocalModuleScopeRegistry`.
However, the template type-checker also needs information about registered
directives, outside of the NgModule scope determinations. Rather than
reuse the scope registry for an unintended purpose, this commit introduces
new abstractions for metadata registration and lookups in a separate
'metadata' package, which the scope registry implements.
This paves the way for a future commit to make use of this metadata for the
template type-checking system.
Testing strategy: this commit is a refactoring which introduces no new
functionality, so existing tests are sufficient.
PR Close#29698
Previously, bindings to [class] and [style] were treated like any other
property binding. That is, they would result in type-checking code that
attempted to write directly to .class or .style on the element node.
This is incorrect, however - the mapping from Angular's [class] and [style]
onto the DOM properties is non-trivial.
For now, this commit avoids the issue by only checking the expressions
themselves and not the assignment to the element properties.

Previously the template type-checking engine processed templates in a linear
manner, and could not handle '#' references within a template. One reason
for this is that '#' references are non-linear - a reference can be used
before its declaration. Consider the template:
```html
{{ref.value}}
<input #ref>
```
Accommodating this required refactoring the type-checking code generator to
be able to produce Type Check Block (TCB) code non-linearly. Now, each
template is processed and a list of TCB operations (`TcbOp`s) are created.
Non-linearity is modeled via dependencies between operations, with the
appropriate protection in place for circular dependencies.

The config path is an optional argument to `ts.parseJsonConfigFileContent`. When passed, it is added to the returned object as `options.configFilePath`, and `tsc` itself passes it in.
The new TS 3.4 [incremental](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-3-4.html) build functionality relies on this property being present: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/blob/025d82633915b67003ea38ba40b9239a19721c13/src/compiler/emitter.ts#L56-L57
When using The compiler-cli `readConfiguration` the config path option isn't passed, preventing consumers (like @ngtools/webpack) from obtaining a complete config object.
This PR fixes this omission and should allow JIT users of @ngtools/webpack to set the `incremental` option in their tsconfig and have it be used by the TS program.
I tested this in JIT and saw a small decrease in build times in a small project. In AOT the incremental option didn't seem to be used at all, due to how `ngc` uses the TS APIs.

Plural ICU expressions depend on the locale (different languages have different plural forms). Until now the locale was hard coded as `en-US`.
For compatibility reasons, if you use ivy with AOT and bootstrap your app with `bootstrapModule` then the `LOCALE_ID` token will be set automatically for ivy, which is then used to get the correct plural form.
If you use JIT, you need to define the `LOCALE_ID` provider on the module that you bootstrap.
For `TestBed` you can use either `configureTestingModule` or `overrideProvider` to define that provider.
If you don't use the compat mode and start your app with `renderComponent` you need to call `ɵsetLocaleId` manually to define the `LOCALE_ID` before bootstrap. We expect this to change once we start adding the new i18n APIs, so don't rely on this function (there's a reason why it's a private export).

Prior to this change, a module's imports and exports would be used verbatim
as an injectors' imports. This is detrimental for tree-shaking, as a
module's exports could reference declarations that would then prevent such
declarations from being eligible for tree-shaking.
Since an injector actually only needs NgModule references as its imports,
we may safely filter out any declarations from the list of module exports.
This makes them eligible for tree-shaking once again.

Prior to this change, all module metadata would be included in the
`defineNgModule` call that is set as the `ngModuleDef` field of module
types. Part of the metadata is scope information like declarations,
imports and exports that is used for computing the transitive module
scope in JIT environments, preventing those references from being
tree-shaken for production builds.
This change moves the metadata for scope computations to a pure function
call that patches the scope references onto the module type. Because the
function is marked pure, it may be tree-shaken out during production builds
such that references to declarations and exports are dropped, which in turn
allows for tree-shaken any declaration that is not otherwise referenced.

In ES2015, classes could have been emitted as a variable declaration
initialized with a class expression. In certain situations, an intermediary
variable suffixed with `_1` is present such that the variable
declaration's initializer becomes a binary expression with its rhs being
the class expression, and its lhs being the identifier of the intermediate
variable. This structure was not recognized, resulting in such classes not
being considered as a class in `Esm2015ReflectionHost`.
As a consequence, the analysis of functions/methods that return a
`ModuleWithProviders` object did not take the methods of such classes into
account.
Another edge-case with such intermediate variable was that static
properties would not be considered as class members. A testcase was added
to prevent regressions.

This commit introduces a mechanism for incremental compilation to the ngtsc
compiler.
Previously, incremental information was used in the construction of the
ts.Program for subsequent compilations, but was not used in ngtsc itself.
This commit adds an IncrementalState class, which tracks state between ngtsc
compilations. Currently, this supports skipping the TypeScript emit step
when the compiler can prove the contents of emit have not changed.
This is implemented for @Injectables as well as for files which don't
contain any Angular decorated types. These are the only files which can be
proven to be safe today.
See ngtsc/incremental/README.md for more details.

incremental compilation model.
* support is added to wrap the CompilerHost the compiler creates and cache

* an 'exclude' section is added to the base tsconfig to prevent .d.ts
outputs from the first compilation from becoming inputs to any subsequent
compilations.
