Currently, when two components are named `TestComponent`, and both would
use e.g. control flow. Templates would be generated by the compiler and
those would conflict at runtime because the names for the template
functions are not ensured to be unique.
This seems like a more general problem that could be tackled in the
future in the template pipeline by always using the `ConstantPool`, but
for now, we should be good already, given us ensuring the `baseName`'s are
always unique.

Consider the following very quirky Angular template, which has both an i18n attribute binding and a property binding to `in`:
```
<cmp [in]="foo" in="bar" i18n-in />
```
What would you expect the above template to do? `TemplateDefinitionBuilder` will emit the following Ivy instructions:
```
// Element constant attributes
consts: () => {
__i18nMsg__('bar', [], {}, {})
return [["in", i18n_0, __AttributeMarker.I18n__, "in"]];
}
// ...
function MyComponent_Template(rf, ctx) {
if (rf & 1) {
// Create mode
i0.ɵɵelement(0, "cmp", 0);
}
}
```
This makes some sense -- we create a single element, and attach an i18n message to the `in` attribute. But is this actually correct? Notice that the property binding is completely missing!
Indeed, Template Pipeline actually produces this code:
```
// Element constant attributes
consts: () => {
__i18nMsg__('bar', [], {}, {})
return [["in", i18n_0, __AttributeMarker.I18n__, "in"]];
}
// ...
function MyComponent_Template(rf, ctx) {
if (rf & 1) {
// Create mode
i0.ɵɵelement(0, "cmp", 0);
} else if (rf & 2) {
// Update mode
i0.ɵɵproperty("in", ctx.foo);
}
}
```
Aha! There's the property binding! Arguably, this is a bug in `TemplateDefinitionBuilder`, but after some discussion on Slack, we have decided to ban this practice in a future Angular version.
For now, we allow Template Pipeline to have slightly different output, but print an error to warn the user of the issue.

Fixes that `@defer` blocks weren't recognizing default imports and generating the proper code for them. Default symbols need to be accessed through the `default` property in the `import` statement, rather than by their name.
PR Close#53695
During the template parsing stage two-way bindings are split up into a property and event binding. All the downstream code treats these binding the same as their one-way equivalents. For some future work we'll have to distinguish between the two so these changes update the `BoundElementProperty.type` and `ParsedEvent.type` to include a `TwoWay` type. All existing call-sites have been updated to treat `TwoWay` the same as `Property`/`Regular`, but more specialized logic will be added in the future.

As part of testing we did accidentally use `bitwiseAnd` for the input
flags, given we started without an extra flag for `HasTransform`.
This commit teaches the compiler to support emitting bitwise OR
and uses it when combining input flags, fully re-enabling transforms
for signal components after the new flag mechanism was introduced in
previous commits.
PR Close#53808
This commit changes the `HasTransform` flag to be only concerned with
decorator inputs. This allows us to automatically detect signal input
transforms without reliance on the flag, resulting in less complexity in
the compiler (as outlined in the design doc) and various other places,
while it also allows us to simplify JIT support for signal inputs
because there would be no need to capture the "hasTransform" state in
the decorator so that JIT can generate the according input flags.
`isSignal` will still persist as an input flag to allow for monomorphic
and highly efficient distinguishing at runtime, whether an input is
signal based or not. JIT transform will also need to propagate this
information to the runtime somehow.
PR Close#53808
We are adding internal support for declaring signal inputs via the
`@Input` decorator. This is needed for JIT unit testing, or JIT
applications.
In JIT, Angular is not able to recognize signal inputs due to the
lack of static reflection metadata. Decorators attach their information
on the class- without it needing to be instantiated. This allows Angular
to know inputs when preparing/generating the directive definition. With
signal inputs this is not possible- so we need a way to tell Angular
about inputs for JIT applications. We've decided that this is not
something users should have to deal with, so a transform will be added
in a follow-up that will automatically derive/and add the decorators
for signal inputs when requested in JIT environments.

We generate `advance` instructions before most update instructions and the majority of `advance` calls are advancing by one. We can save some bytes for the most common case by omitting the parameter for `advance(1)` altogether.
PR Close#53845
Instead of computing the bit input flags at compile-time and inling
the final bit flag number, we will use the `InputFlags` enum directly.
This is a little more code in the compiler side, but will allow us to
have better debuggable development code, and also prevents problems
where runtime flag bitmasks differ from the compiler flag bitmasks.
This is in practice a noop for optimized applications as the enum values
would be inlined anyway. This matches existing compiler emit for e.g.
change detection strategy, or view encapsulation enums.
PR Close#53571
This commit introduces a new enum for capturing additional metadata
about inputs. Called `InputFlags`. These will be built up at compile
time and then propagated into the runtime logic, in a way that does
not require additional lookup dictionaries data structures, or
additional memory allocations for "common inputs" that do not have any flags.
The flags will incorporate information on whether an input is signal
based. This can then be used to avoid megamorphic accesses when such
input is set- as we'd not need to check the input field value. This also
avoids cases where an input signal may be used as initial value for an
input (as we'd not incorrectly detect the input as a signal input then).
The new metadata emit will be useful for incorporating additional
metadata for inputs, such as whether they are required etc (although
required inputs are a build-time only construct right now- but this is a
good illustration of why input flags can be useful). An alternative
could have been to have an additional boolean entry for signal inputs,
but allocating a number with more flexible input flags seems more future
proof and more reasonable andreadable.

In #52931, Kristiyan fixed a TemplateDefinitionBuilder bug in which derived alias variables in for loops (`$even`, `$first`, etc) were referring to the wrong level of nested `@for` block. (These variables are unique because they become inlined expressions, and are not "real" context variables.) He fixed this by appending level information to the generated alias name.
Template Pipeline actually suffered from the same bug. We fix it in a very similar way -- in particular, whenever these derived context variables are used, we make them depend on versions of `$index` and `$count` that have been suffixed with the xref of the enclosing repeater.
I have added a few more pipeline goldens, because we are not quite as clever as TDB about only generating the duplicate suffixed index and count variables when inside nested loops. This is fine, since in the long run, we want to refactor it more fundamentally.
I have also added a TODO to fix this more rigorously. In particular, it would be nice if we had proper support for shadowed variables, as well as unlimited levels of variables depending on one another.

The way we were handling ICU placeholders was not compatible with using
interpolations on attributes of elements inside the ICU. This change
refactors the handling of ICU placeholders and unifies the way
expression and tag placeholders work inside ICUs.
The new approach modifies the ingest logic to add the placeholder on to
the TextOp rather than the TextInterpolationOp. This is because, in
ICUs, we may need multiple i18n expressions created from the
interpolation expressions to roll up into the same placeholder. ICUs
essentially do the interpolation at compile time, combining the static
strings with special placeholder strings that represent the expression
values.

Consider a case when an explicit `this` read is inside a template with a context that also provides the variable name being read:
```
<ng-template let-a>{{this.a}}</ng-template>
```
Clearly, `this.a` should refer to the class property `a`. However, in today's Angular, `this.a` will refer to `let-a` on the template context.
Amazingly, both TemplateDefinitionBuilder and the Typecheck block have the same bug, and are consistent with each other! This is because `ImplicitReceiver` extends `ThisReceiver` in the parser AST, which is an insane gotcha.
In this commit, I patch the template pipeline to emulate this behavior as well.
To actually fix this nastiness, we have to:
- Update `ingest.ts` in the Template Pipeline (see the corresponding comment)
- Check `type_check_block.ts` in the Typecheck block code (see the corresponding comment)
- Turn off legacy TemplateDefinitionBuilder
- Fix g3, and release in a major version

`ng-content` elements, and thus their corresponding projection instructions, can have many attributes on them. Some of these attributes may result in special behavior. For example, `ngProjectAs` and `i18n-foo` both result in special const collection, into the approprate BindingKind slot in the const array. Additionally, `i18n-foo` needs to recieve all the additional i18n attribute processing.
We solve this by subjecting `ng-content` attributes to all the same pipeline logic that applies to attributes on elements, and then allow the element const collection phase to collect them.

The for loop tracking function doesn't allow references to local template variables, aside from `$index` and the item which are passed in as parameters. We enforce this by rewriting all variable references to the components scope.
The problem is that the logic that rewrites the references first walks the view tree and then checks if the variable is `$index` or the item. This is problematic in nested for loops, because it'll find the `$index` of the parent.
These changes resolve the issue by checking for `$index` and the item first.

TemplateDefinitionBuilder is apparently more careful about when it attempts to split namespaces in attribute values. However, we are doing this on style attributes, which might start with a single `:`. Rather than refactor our logic to only try to split namespaces in some cases, we can just add an option to make namespace splitting fail gracefully. We only use this option for attributes, not elements.
Note also: the compiled code for this, while "correct" is absolutely insane. Maybe we should consider fixing this, as a matter of principle.

Previously when we found an ICU that was the only translatable content
in its i18n block, we assigned the block's i18n context to the ICU.
However, we neglected to set the contextKind to inidcate that the
context was associated with an ICU. As of this change we now set the
correct contextKind.
This change also refactors the context creation to explicitly separate
creation of contexts for attributes, root i18n blocks, child i18n
blocks, and ICUs. This allows us to more easily ensure that contexts are
shared appropriately between i18n blocks and ICUs.
Finally, this change also refactors the i18n message extraction pahse to
simplify how contexts are converted to i18n messages. This
simplification should make it easier to merge i18n contexts and i18n
messages into a single op in a future refactor.
