Previously, ngtsc attempted to use the .d.ts schema for HTML elements to
check bindings to DOM properties. However, the TypeScript lib.dom.d.ts
schema does not perfectly align with the Angular DomElementSchemaRegistry,
and these inconsistencies would cause issues in apps. There is also the
concern of supporting both CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA and NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA which
would have been very difficult to do in the existing system.
With this commit, the DomElementSchemaRegistry is employed in ngtsc to check
bindings to the DOM. Previous work on producing template diagnostics is used
to support generation of this different kind of error with the same high
quality of error message.

Prior to this commit, the logic to extract query information from class fields used an instance of regular Error class to throw an error. As a result, some useful information (like reference to a specific field) was missing. Replacing Error class with FatalDiagnosticError one makes the error more verbose that should simplify debugging.

Previously, when the NgModule scope resolver discovered semantic errors
within a users NgModules, it would throw assertion errors. TODOs in the
codebase indicated these should become ts.Diagnostics eventually.
Besides producing better-looking errors, there is another reason to make
this change asap: these assertions were shadowing actual errors, via an
interesting mechanism:
1) a component would produce a ts.Diagnostic during its analyze() step
2) as a result, it wouldn't register component metadata with the scope
resolver
3) the NgModule for the component references it in exports, which was
detected as an invalid export (no metadata registering it as a
component).
4) the resulting assertion error would crash the compiler, hiding the
real cause of the problem (an invalid component).
This commit should mitigate this problem by converting scoping errors to
proper ts.Diagnostics. Additionally, we should consider registering some
marker indicating a class is a directive/component/pipe without actually
requiring full metadata to be produced for it, which would allow suppression
of errors like "invalid export" for such invalid types.

Previously, ngtsc would throw an error if two decorators were matched on
the same class simultaneously. However, @Injectable is a special case, and
it appears frequently on component, directive, and pipe classes. For pipes
in particular, it's a common pattern to treat the pipe class also as an
injectable service.
ngtsc actually lacked the capability to compile multiple matching
decorators on a class, so this commit adds support for that. Decorator
handlers (and thus the decorators they match) are classified into three
categories: PRIMARY, SHARED, and WEAK.
PRIMARY handlers compile decorators that cannot coexist with other primary
decorators. The handlers for Component, Directive, Pipe, and NgModule are
marked as PRIMARY. A class may only have one decorator from this group.
SHARED handlers compile decorators that can coexist with others. Injectable
is the only decorator in this category, meaning it's valid to put an
@Injectable decorator on a previously decorated class.
WEAK handlers behave like SHARED, but are dropped if any non-WEAK handler
matches a class. The handler which compiles ngBaseDef is WEAK, since
ngBaseDef is only needed if a class doesn't otherwise have a decorator.
Tests are added to validate that @Injectable can coexist with the other
decorators and that an error is generated when mixing the primaries.

Prior to this change we may encounter some errors (like pipes being used where they should not be used) while compiling Host Bindings and Listeners. With this update we move validation logic to the analyze phase and throw an error if something is wrong. This also aligns error messages between Ivy and VE.

This commit adds tracking of modules, directives, and pipes which are made
visible to consumers through NgModules exported from the package entrypoint.
ngtsc will now produce a diagnostic if such classes are not themselves
exported via the entrypoint (as this is a requirement for downstream
consumers to use them with Ivy).
To accomplish this, a graph of references is created and populated via the
ReferencesRegistry. Symbols exported via the package entrypoint are compared
against the graph to determine if any publicly visible symbols are not
properly exported. Diagnostics are produced for each one which also show the
path by which they become visible.
This commit also introduces a diagnostic (instead of a hard compiler crash)
if an entrypoint file cannot be correctly determined.
PR Close#27743
This commit takes the first steps towards ngtsc producing real
TypeScript diagnostics instead of simply throwing errors when
encountering incorrect code.
A new class is introduced, FatalDiagnosticError, which can be thrown by
handlers whenever a condition in the code is encountered which by
necessity prevents the class from being compiled. This error type is
convertable to a ts.Diagnostic which represents the type and source of
the error.
Error codes are introduced for Angular errors, and are prefixed with -99
(so error code 1001 becomes -991001) to distinguish them from other TS
errors.
A function is provided which will read TS diagnostic output and convert
the TS errors to NG errors if they match this negative error code
format.
