Previously, ngtsc included query fields in the list of fields which can
affect the type of a directive via its type constructor. This feature
however has yet to be built, and View Engine in default mode does not
do this inference.
This caused an unexpected bug where private query fields (which should be
an error but are allowed by View Engine) cause the type constructor
signature to be invalid. This commit fixes that issue by disabling the
logic to include query fields.

ngtsc generates type constructors which infer the type of a directive based
on its inputs. Previously, a bug existed where this inference would fail in
the case of 'any' input values. For example, the inference of NgForOf fails
when an 'any' is provided, as it causes TypeScript to attempt to solve:
T[] = any
In this case, T gets inferred as {}, the empty object type, which is not
desirable.
The fix is to assign generic types in type constructors a default type of
'any', which TypeScript uses instead of {} when inference fails.

ngtsc previously could attempt to reuse the main ts.Program twice. This
occurred when template type-checking was enabled and then an incremental
build was performed. This breaks a TypeScript invariant - ts.Programs can
only be reused once.
The creation of the template type-checking program reuses the main program,
rendering it moot. Then, on the next incremental build the main program
would be subject to reuse again, which would crash inside TypeScript.
This commit fixes the issue by reusing the template type-checking program
from the previous run on the next incremental build. Since under normal
circumstances the files in the type-checking program aren't changed, this
should be just as fast.
Testing strategy: a test is added in the incremental_spec which validates
that program reuse with type-checking turned on does not crash the compiler.

Fixes view and content queries not being inherited in Ivy, if the base class hasn't been annotated with an Angular decorator (e.g. `Component` or `Directive`).
Also reworks the way the `ngBaseDef` is created so that it is added at the same point as the queries, rather than inside of the `Input` and `Output` decorators.
This PR partially resolves FW-1275. Support for host bindings will be added in a follow-up, because this PR is somewhat large as it is.

Prior to this commit, the check that verifies correct "id" field type was too strict and didn't allow `module.id` as @NgModule's "id" field value. This change adds a special handling for `module.id` and uses it as id of @NgModule if specified.

Now that ngtsc performs type checking using a dedicated `__ng_typecheck__.ts`
file, `NgtscProgram` always wraps its `ts.CompilerHost` in a shim host. This
shim fails to delegate `resolveModuleNames` so no custom module resolution
logic is considered. This introduces a problem for the CLI, as the compiler
host it passes kicks of ngcc for any imported module such that Ivy's
compatibility compiler runs automatically behind the scenes.
This commit adds delegation of the `resolveModuleNames` to fix the issue.

The compiler uses metadata to represent what it statically knows about
various expressions in a program. Occasionally, expressions in the program
for which metadata is extracted may contain sub-expressions which are not
representable in metadata. One such construct is an arrow function.
The compiler does not always need to understand such expressions completely.
For example, for a provider defined with `useValue`, the compiler does not
need to understand the value at all, only the outer provider definition. In
this case, the compiler employs a technique known as "expression lowering",
where it rewrites the provider expression into one that can be represented
in metadata. Chiefly, this involves extracting out the dynamic part (the
`useValue` expression) into an exported constant.
Lowering is applied through a heuristic, which considers the containing
statement as well as the field name of the expression.
Previously, this heuristic was not completely accurate in the case of
route definitions and the `loadChildren` field, which is lowered. If the
route definition using `loadChildren` existed inside a decorator invocation,
lowering was performed correctly. However, if it existed inside a standalone
variable declaration with an export keyword, the heuristic would conclude
that lowering was unnecessary. For ordinary providers this is true; however
the compiler attempts to fully understand the ROUTES token and thus even if
an array of routes is declared in an exported variable, any `loadChildren`
expressions within still need to be lowered.
This commit enables lowering of already exported variables under a limited
set of conditions (where the initializer expression is of a specific form).
This should enable the use of `loadChildren` in route definitions.

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).
