When injecting a `ChangeDetectorRef` into a pipe, the expected result is that the ref will be tied to the component in which the pipe is being used. This works for most cases, however when a pipe is used inside a property binding of a component (see test case as an example), the current `TNode` is pointing to component's host so we end up injecting the inner component's view. These changes fix the issue by only looking up the component view of the `TNode` if the `TNode` is a parent.

Currently, template expressions and statements have their location
recorded relative to the HTML element they are in, with no handle to
absolute location in a source file except for a line/column location.
However, the line/column location is also not entirely accurate, as it
points an entire semantic expression, and not necessarily the start of
an expression recorded by the expression parser.
To support record of the source code expressions originate from, add a
new `sourceSpan` field to `ASTWithSource` that records the absolute byte
offset of an expression within a source code.

The support for decorators that were imported via a namespace,
e.g. `import * as core from `@angular/core` was implemented
piecemeal. This meant that it was easy to miss situations where
a decorator identifier needed to be handled as a namepsaced
import rather than a direct import.
One such issue was that UMD processing of decorators was not
correct: the namespace was being omitted from references to
decorators.
Now the types have been modified to make it clear that a
`Decorator.identifier` could hold a namespaced identifier,
and the corresponding code that uses these types has been
fixed.

When a class uses Angular decorators such as `@Input`, `@Output` and
friends without an Angular class decorator, they are compiled into a
static `ngBaseDef` field on the class, with the TypeScript declaration
of the class being altered to declare the `ngBaseDef` field to be of type
`ɵɵBaseDef`. This type however requires a generic type parameter that
corresponds with the type of the class, however the compiler did not
provide this type parameter. As a result, compiling a program where such
invalid `ngBaseDef` declarations are present will result in compilation
errors.
This commit fixes the problem by providing the generic type parameter.

To improve cross platform support, all file access (and path manipulation)
is now done through a well known interface (`FileSystem`).
For testing a number of `MockFileSystem` implementations are provided.
These provide an in-memory file-system which emulates operating systems
like OS/X, Unix and Windows.
The current file system is always available via the static method,
`FileSystem.getFileSystem()`. This is also used by a number of static
methods on `AbsoluteFsPath` and `PathSegment`, to avoid having to pass
`FileSystem` objects around all the time. The result of this is that one
must be careful to ensure that the file-system has been initialized before
using any of these static methods. To prevent this happening accidentally
the current file system always starts out as an instance of `InvalidFileSystem`,
which will throw an error if any of its methods are called.
You can set the current file-system by calling `FileSystem.setFileSystem()`.
During testing you can call the helper function `initMockFileSystem(os)`
which takes a string name of the OS to emulate, and will also monkey-patch
aspects of the TypeScript library to ensure that TS is also using the
current file-system.
Finally there is the `NgtscCompilerHost` to be used for any TypeScript
compilation, which uses a given file-system.
All tests that interact with the file-system should be tested against each
of the mock file-systems. A series of helpers have been provided to support
such tests:
* `runInEachFileSystem()` - wrap your tests in this helper to run all the
wrapped tests in each of the mock file-systems.
* `addTestFilesToFileSystem()` - use this to add files and their contents
to the mock file system for testing.
* `loadTestFilesFromDisk()` - use this to load a mirror image of files on
disk into the in-memory mock file-system.
* `loadFakeCore()` - use this to load a fake version of `@angular/core`
into the mock file-system.
All ngcc and ngtsc source and tests now use this virtual file-system setup.

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.

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.

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
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

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

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.

proven to be safe today.

Currently, ngtsc decides to use remote scoping if the compilation of a
component may create a cyclic import. This happens if there are two
components in a scope (say, A and B) and A directly uses B. During
compilation of B ngtsc will then note that if B were to use A, a cycle would
be generated, and so it will opt to use remote scoping for B.
ngtsc already uses the R3TargetBinder to correctly track the imports that
are actually required, for future cycle tracking. This commit expands that
usage to not trigger remote scoping unless B actually does consume A in its
template.

Previously, several `ngtsc` and `ngcc` APIs dealing with class
declaration nodes used inconsistent types. For example, some methods of
the `DecoratorHandler` interface expected a `ts.Declaration` argument,
but actual `DecoratorHandler` implementations specified a stricter
`ts.ClassDeclaration` type.
As a result, the stricter methods would operate under the incorrect
assumption that their arguments were of type `ts.ClassDeclaration`,
while the actual arguments might be of different types (e.g. `ngcc`
would call them with `ts.FunctionDeclaration` or
`ts.VariableDeclaration` arguments, when compiling ES5 code).
Additionally, since we need those class declarations to be referenced in
other parts of the program, `ngtsc`/`ngcc` had to either repeatedly
check for `ts.isIdentifier(node.name)` or assume there was a `name`
identifier and use `node.name!`. While this assumption happens to be
true in the current implementation, working around type-checking is
error-prone (e.g. the assumption might stop being true in the future).
This commit fixes this by introducing a new type to be used for such
class declarations (`ts.Declaration & {name: ts.Identifier}`) and using
it consistently throughput the code.

This fixes an issue with commit b6f6b117. In this commit, default imports
processed in a type-to-value conversion were recorded as non-local imports
with a '*' name, and the ImportManager generated a new default import for
them. When transpiled to ES2015 modules, this resulted in the following
correct code:
import i3 from './module';
// somewhere in the file, a value reference of i3:
{type: i3}
However, when the AST with this synthetic import and reference was
transpiled to non-ES2015 modules (for example, to commonjs) an issue
appeared:
var module_1 = require('./module');
{type: i3}
TypeScript renames the imported identifier from i3 to module_1, but doesn't
substitute later references to i3. This is because the import and reference
are both synthetic, and never went through the TypeScript AST step of
"binding" which associates the reference to its import. This association is
important during emit when the identifiers might change.
Synthetic (transformer-added) imports will never be bound properly. The only
possible solution is to reuse the user's original import and the identifier
from it, which will be properly downleveled. The issue with this approach
(which prompted the fix in b6f6b117) is that if the import is only used in a
type position, TypeScript will mark it for deletion in the generated JS,
even though additional non-type usages are added in the transformer. This
again would leave a dangling import.
To work around this, it's necessary for the compiler to keep track of
identifiers that it emits which came from default imports, and tell TS not
to remove those imports during transpilation. A `DefaultImportTracker` class
is implemented to perform this tracking. It implements a
`DefaultImportRecorder` interface, which is used to record two significant
pieces of information:
* when a WrappedNodeExpr is generated which refers to a default imported
value, the ts.Identifier is associated to the ts.ImportDeclaration via
the recorder.
* when that WrappedNodeExpr is later emitted as part of the statement /
expression translators, the fact that the ts.Identifier was used is
also recorded.
Combined, this tracking gives the `DefaultImportTracker` enough information
to implement another TS transformer, which can recognize default imports
which were used in the output of the Ivy transform and can prevent them
from being elided. This is done by creating a new ts.ImportDeclaration for
the imports with the same ts.ImportClause. A test verifies that this works.

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.

ngtsc occasionally converts a type reference (such as the type of a
parameter in a constructor) to a value reference (argument to a
directiveInject call). TypeScript has a bad habit of sometimes removing
the import statement associated with this type reference, because it's a
type only import when it initially looks at the file.
A solution to this is to always add an import to refer to a type position
value that's imported, and not rely on the existing import.

ngtsc has cyclic import detection, to determine when adding an import to a
directive or pipe would create a cycle. However, this detection must also
account for already inserted imports, as it's possible for both directions
of a circular import to be inserted by Ivy (as opposed to at least one of
those edges existing in the user's program).
This commit fixes the circular import detection for components to take into
consideration already added edges. This is difficult for one critical
reason: only edges to files which will *actually* be imported should be
considered. However, that depends on which directives & pipes are used in
a given template, which is currently only known by running the
TemplateDefinitionBuilder during the 'compile' phase. This is too late; the
decision whether to use remote scoping (which consults the import graph) is
made during the 'resolve' phase, before any compilation has taken place.
Thus, the only way to correctly consider synthetic edges is for the compiler
to know exactly which directives & pipes are used in a template during
'resolve'. There are two ways to achieve this:
1) refactor `TemplateDefinitionBuilder` to do its work in two phases, with
directive matching occurring as a separate step which can be performed
earlier.
2) use the `R3TargetBinder` in the 'resolve' phase to independently bind the
template and get information about used directives.
Option 1 is ideal, but option 2 is currently used for practical reasons. The
cost of binding the template can be shared with template-typechecking.
PR Close#29040
In the @Component decorator, the 'host' field is an object which represents
host bindings. The type of this field is complex, but is generally of the
form {[key: string]: string}. Several different kinds of bindings can be
specified, depending on the structure of the key.
For example:
```
@Component({
host: {'[prop]': 'someExpr'}
})
```
will bind an expression 'someExpr' to the property 'prop'. This is known to
be a property binding because of the square brackets in the binding key.
If the binding key is a plain string (no brackets or parentheses), then it
is known as an attribute binding. In this case, the right-hand side is not
interpreted as an expression, but is instead a constant string.
There is no actual requirement that at build time, these constant strings
are known to the compiler, but this was previously enforced as a side effect
of requiring the binding expressions for property and event bindings to be
statically known (as they need to be parsed). This commit breaks that
relationship and allows the attribute bindings to be dynamic. In the case
that they are dynamic, the references to the dynamic values are reflected
into the Ivy instructions for attribute bindings.
