Andrew Kushnir 56ca7d385b perf(common): make NgLocalization token tree-shakable (#45118) (#45226)
This commit updates the `NgLocalization` token to become tree-shakable (vs using a direct reference to that token in the `providers` section of the `CommonModule`). The `NgLocalization` token is used for apps that use i18n and for other apps it would be excluded from the bundle.

JoostK 1a4b489692 perf(animations): improve algorithm to balance animation namespaces (#45113)
The prior approach would consider all existing namespaces from back to front
to find the one that's the closest ancestor for a given host element. An
expensive `contains` operation was used which needed to traverse all the
way up the document root _for each existing namespace_. This commit implements
an optimization where the closest namespace is found by traversing up from
the host element, avoiding repeated DOM traversal.

This commit refactors the `RuntimeError` class to support a short version of providing error messages:
```
throw new RuntimeError(
  RuntimeErrorCode.INJECTOR_ALREADY_DESTROYED,

Doug Parker 83e6db4081 refactor(compiler-cli): add validation to extended template diagnostics configuration (#44391)
Refs #42966.

This validates the `tsconfig.json` options for extended template diagnostics. It verifies:
* `strictTemplates` must be enabled if `extendedDiagnostics` have any explicit configuration.
* `extendedDiagnostics.defaultCategory` must be a valid `DiagnosticCategoryLabel`.
* `extendedDiagnostics.checks` keys must all be real diagnostics.
* `extendedDiagnostics.checks` values must all be valid `DiagnosticCategoryLabel`s.

These include new error codes, each of which prints out the exact property that was the issue and what the available options are to fix them.

It does disallow the config:

```json
{
  "angularCompilerOptions": {
    "strictTemplates": false,
    "extendedDiagnostics": {
      "defaultCategory": "suppress"
    }
  }
}
```

Such a configuration is technically valid and could be executed, but will be rejected by this verification logic. There isn't much reason to ever do this, since users could just drop `extendedDiagnostics` altogether and get the intended effect. This is unlikely to be a significant issue for users, so it is considered invalid for now to keep the implementation simple.

The `defaultCategory` option is used for any extended template diagnostics which do not have any specific category specified for them.

JoostK 7052e27677 refactor(compiler-cli): improve DX for reference emit failures (#44587)
In certain scenarios, the compiler may have crashed with an
`Unable to write a reference` error which would be particularly hard
to diagnose. One of the primary reasons for this failure is when the
`rootDir` option is configured---typically the case for libraries---
and a source file is imported using a relative import from an external
entry-point. This would normally report TS6059 for the invalid relative
import, but the crash prevents this error from being surfaced.

This commit refactors the reference emit logic to result in an explicit
`Failure` state with a reason as to why the failure occurred. This state
is then used to report a `FatalDiagnosticException`, preventing a hard
crash.

Dylan Hunn 72092ebd26 feat(forms): Allow a FormControl to use initial value as default. (#44434)
Allow a FormControl to be reset to its initial value. Provide this feature via a new option in a FormControlOptions interface, based on AbstractControlOptions.

Also, expose the default value as part of the public API. This is part of a feature that has been requested elsewhere (e.g. in #19747).

This was originally proposed as part of typed forms. As discussed in the GDE session (and after with akushnir/alxhub), it is likely better to just reuse the initial value rather than accepting an additional default.

It is desirable to land this separately in order to reduce the scope of the typed forms PR, and make it a types-only change.

Kristiyan Kostadinov 6df314f3d9 refactor(animations): remove unnecessary code (#44378)
* The `TransitionAnimationEngine` had a fallback where it would store classes directly on a node if it doesn't have a `classList`. Presumably this is to support old browsers or if an animation is set on something like `ng-container`. This information was never used for anything since `containsClass` was never called. These changes simplify the logic to just a null check.
* Deprecates the `AnimationDriver.matchesElement` method, because it was only used in one place which can be replaced with `classList.contains`. We can't remove the method completely, because `AnimationDriver` is a public API. We also can't turn it into a method on the base class in order to remove it from the sub-classes, because it can break apps using `noImplicitOverride` while extending `AnimationDriver`.

Paul Gschwendtner 489cf42cd0 fix(common): incorrect error type for XHR errors in TestRequest (#36082)
Currently the `HttpClient` always wraps errors from XHR requests, but
the underlying errors are always of type `ProgressEvent`, or don't have
a native error if the status code is just indicating failure (e.g. 404).

This behavior does not match in the `TestRequest` class provided by
`@angular/common/http/testing` where errors are considered being
of type `ErrorEvent`. This is incorrect because `ErrorEvent`s provide
information for errors in scripts or files which are evaluated. Since
the `HttpClient` never evaluates scripts/files, and also since XHR requests
clearly are documented to emit `ProgressEvent`'s, we should change the
`TestSupport` to retrieve such `ProgressEvent`'s instead of incompatible
objects of type `ErrorEvent`.

In favor of having a deprecation period, we keep supporting `ErrorEvent`
in the `TestRequest.error` signature. Eventually, we can remove this
signature in the future.

accepts `ErrorEvent` when simulating XHR errors. Instead instances of

Andrew Kushnir e3d6e97050 docs: deprecate ViewEngine-based JIT Compiler symbols (#43710)
DEPRECATION:

In ViewEngine, [JIT compilation](https://angular.io/guide/glossary#jit) required special providers (like `Compiler`, `CompilerFactory`, etc) to be injected in the app and corresponding methods to be invoked. With Ivy, JIT compilation takes place implicitly if the Component, NgModule, etc have not already been [AOT compiled](https://angular.io/guide/glossary#aot). Those special providers were made available in Ivy for backwards-compatibility with ViewEngine to make the transition to Ivy smoother. Since ViewEngine is deprecated and will soon be removed, those symbols are now deprecated as well:

- `ModuleWithComponentFactories`
- `Compiler`
- `CompilerFactory`
- `JitCompilerFactory`
- `NgModuleFactory`

Maximilian Köller 0dc45446fe feat(service-worker): expose more version update events (#43668)
This commit introduces a new `SwUpdate#versionUpdates` observalbe, which provides more granular
information about Service Worker version updates than the already existing `SwUpdate#available`
observable.

The new events emitted by `SwUpdate#versionUpdates` basically add the possibility for application to
get notified if a new version is available on the server (not yet downloaded) and if an installation
of a new version failed.

Closes #39840

DEPRECATED: The `SwUpdate#availalbe` observable is deprecated.

The new `SwUpdate#versionUpdates` observable provides the same information and more. Therefore, it
is possible to rebuild the same behavior as `SwUpdate#availalbe` using the events emitted by
`SwUpdate#versionUpdates` and filtering for `VersionReadyEvent` events.
As a result, the `SwUpdate#availalbe` observable is now redundant.

Maximilian Köller 59225f5586 feat(service-worker): SwUpdate#activeUpdate and SwUpdate#checkForUpdate should have a meaningful outcome (#43668)
Previously `activateUpdate` and `checkForUpdate` returned `Promise<void>`, which did not provide any
information of the actual outcome of the operation. Developers needed to subscribe to a
corresponding observable to obtain the outcome.

With this commit `SwUpdate#activateUpdate` will return `Promise<boolean>` which resolves to `true` if
an update was activated, to `false` if no new version is available and rejects in case of any error.
`SwUpdate#checkForUpdate` also returns a `Promise<boolean>` which resolves to `true` if an update is available, to `false` if no update was found and rejects in case of any error.

Closes #39840

BREAKING CHANGE: The return type of `SwUpdate#activateUpdate` and `SwUpdate#checkForUpdate` changed to `Promise<boolean>`.

Although unlikely, it is possible that this change will cause TypeScript type-checking to fail in
some cases. If necessary, update your types to account for the new
return type.

DEPRECATED: The `SwUpdate#activated` observable is deprecated.

The `SwUpdate#activated` observable only emits values as a direct response to calling
`SwUpdate#activateUpdate()` and was only useful for determining whether the call resulted in an
update or not. Now, the return value of `SwUpdate#activateUpdate()` can be used to determine the
outcome of the operation and therefore using `SwUpdate#activated` does not offer any benefit.

Andrew Kushnir a3960846da feat(core): add createNgModuleRef function to create NgModuleRef based on NgModule class (#43580)
NgModule factories are obsolete with Ivy and most of the operations can already be performed with NgModule classes without retreieving corresponding factories. NgModule factories were useful to generate an `NgModuleRef` (via `NgModuleFactory.create` method). This commit adds a new function to create an instance of the `NgModuleRef` class without having the need to create a factory first.

Andrew Kushnir fe1f6421d2 feat(core): add getNgModuleById function to retrieve loaded NgModules by id (#43580)
This commit adds a new function called `getNgModuleById` to the public API surface of the framework. The `getNgModuleById` function allows to retrieve loaded NgModule class by id (specified via `@NgModule.id`). The function is a replacement for the `getModuleFactory` function.

DEPRECATION:

The `getModuleFactory` function is deprecated in favor of the `getNgModuleById` one. With Ivy it's possible to work with NgModule classes directly, without retrieving corresponding factories, so the `getNgModuleById` should be used instead.
