This change allows users to specify multiple exportAs names for a
directive by giving a comma-delimited list inside the string.
The primary motivation for this change is to allow these names to be
changed in a backwards compatible way.
PR Close#18723
* refactor(core): provide error message in stack for reflective DI
Fixes#16355
* fix(compiler): make AOT work with `noUnusedParameters`
Fixes#15532
* refactor: use view engine also for `NgModuleFactory`s
This is a prerequisite for being able to mock providers
in AOTed code later on.
* feat(common): support `as` syntax in template/* bindings
Closes#15020
Showing the new and the equivalent old syntax.
- `*ngIf="exp as var1”`
=> `*ngIf="exp; let var1 = ngIf”`
- `*ngFor="var item of itemsStream |async as items”`
=> `*ngFor="var item of itemsStream |async; let items = ngForOf”`
* feat(common): convert ngIf to use `*ngIf="exp as local“` syntax
* feat(common): convert ngForOf to use `*ngFor=“let i of exp as local“` syntax
* feat(common): expose NgForOfContext and NgIfContext
