In TypeScript 3.8 support was added for type-only imports, which only brings in the symbol as a type, not their value. The Angular compiler did not yet take the type-only keyword into account when representing symbols in type positions as value expressions. The class metadata that the compiler emits would include the value expression for its parameter types, generating actual imports as necessary. For type-only imports this should not be done, as it introduces an actual import of the module that was originally just a type-only import. This commit lets the compiler deal with type-only imports specially, preventing a value expression from being created. Fixes #37900 PR Close #37912
