Previously, when a router-outlet is conditionally shown with an ngIf, and a sub-route was re-attached
via a custom RouteReuseStrategy, router-outlet would try to mount a destroyed component into the view
if the router-outlet is destroyed and re-initialized.
This commit fixes it by unsetting context.attachRef when router-outlet is destroyed, so when the
router-outlet is being initialized again, it no longer sees an attachRef that it needs to mount to the
view.

This commit removes the ability to configure lazy routes using a string
for `loadChildren`, together with the supporting classes to load an
`NgModuleFactory` at runtime.
BREAKING CHANGE:
It is no longer possible to use `Route.loadChildren` using a string
value. The following supporting classes were removed from
`@angular/core`:
- `NgModuleFactoryLoader`
- `SystemJsNgModuleFactoryLoader`
The `@angular/router` package no longer exports these symbols:
- `SpyNgModuleFactoryLoader`
- `DeprecatedLoadChildren`
The signature of the `setupTestingRouter` function from
`@angular/core/testing` has been changed to drop its `NgModuleFactoryLoader`
parameter, as an argument for that parameter can no longer be created.

This bit of code is problematic for several reasons:
1. AngularJS-specific handling should not exist in core router code if it can be avoided.
It's not something that should complicated the code long-term
2. It causes URL flickering (the `replace: /` really does happen and can be observed)
3. The original intent was likely for the URL to not actually change;
since the Router only initially supported 'deferred' navigations, this would _usually_ be the case.
4. It actually causes observers of URL changes more problems in handling changes
because the router is already about to process another navigation request.
Notice that when using `'computed'` restoration logic, we do not reset the URL
because it would cause another location change event and conflict with the new navigation.
5. It only resets the browser URL but does nothing to sync the rest of the internal state of the router.
6. It makes guards which call `router.navigate()` behave _slightly_ differently
than guard which return `UrlTree`. Guards which return `UrlTree` do not reset the
URL, but instead just trigger a new navigation.
7. It resets the entire URL rather than just the portion that the
`UrlHandlingStrategy` is configured to handle. Theoretically, the
Router could be configured to only handle a part of the URL so failed
navigations should not reset parts it is not configured to touch.
Note that this is actually a problem in other places in the router as
well where `resetState` is not called before
`resetUrlToCurrentUrlTree`.
As a nice benefit, when `urlUpdateStrategy` is set to `'eager'`, this
makes #17004 possible.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The router will no longer replace the browser URL when a new navigation
cancels an ongoing navigation. This often causes URL flicker and was
only in place to support some AngularJS hybrid applications. Hybrid
applications which rely on the `navigationId` being present on initial
navigations that were handled by the Angular router should instead
subscribe to `NavigationCancel` events and perform the
`location.replaceState` themselves to add `navigationId` to the Router
state.
In addition, tests which assert `urlChanges` on the `SpyLocation` may
need to be adjusted to account for the `replaceState` which is no longer
triggered.

The getTransition helper function ensures that urlAfterRedirects is assigned for when
the router does not process the previous or current URL. In this case, we would set

The previous code would set the browser URL to be only the part that's
extracted by the `UrlHandlingStrategy`. However, there may be parts of
the URL which are _should not_ be handled by the Angular Router. This
change updates the code to set the browser URL in the same way that's
done with `'deferred'`: Merging the extracted URL after redirects with
the whole raw URL of the navigation, which includes parts not handled by

There are situations where the Router does not currently clean up failed navigations
correctly. While this is problematic on its own, we can mitigate some of
the damage by processing any URL when we get a navigation request when
the internal router state is out of sync.

* Do not emit url pop on Location.go
* Emit a `popstate` event before each `hashchange` to have the same
behavior of the browser.
* Track the url change in the internal history when calling `simulateHashChange`
The changes to the router tests reflect the goals of the test.
Generally when `Location.go` is used to trigger navigations, it is only
relevant for `HashLocationStrategy` and verifying that the Router picks
up changes from manual URL changes. To do this, we convert those calls
to `simulateHashChange` instead.
Manual URL bar changes to the path when not using the `HashLocationStrategy`
would otherwise trigger a full page refresh so they aren't relevant to
these test scenarios which assert correct behavior during the lifetime
of the router.
[Reference for no `popstate` on `pushState`/`replaceState`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/popstate_event)
> Note that just calling history.pushState() or history.replaceState() won't
trigger a popstate event. The popstate event will be triggered by doing a browser
action such as a click on the back or forward button (or calling history.back()
or history.forward() in JavaScript).
[Reference for `popstate` before `hashChange`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/popstate_event#when_popstate_is_sent)

> 13. Any persisted user state is restored, if the browser chooses to do so.
> 14. If the original and new entry's shared the same document, but had different fragments in their URLs, send the hashchange event to the window.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The behavior of the `SpyLocation` used by the `RouterTestingModule` has changed
to match the behavior of browsers. It no longer emits a 'popstate' event
when `Location.go` is called. In addition, `simulateHashChange` now
triggers _both_ a `hashchange` and a `popstate` event.
Tests which use `location.go` and expect the changes to be picked up by
the `Router` should likely change to `simulateHashChange` instead.
Each test is different in what it attempts to assert so there is no
single change that works for all tests. Each test using the `SpyLocation` to
simulate browser URL changes should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

PR Close#37284
PR Close#43280
The current behavior of `routerLink` for `null` and `undefined` inputs is to treat
the input the same as `[]`. This creates several unresolvable issues with
correctly disabling the links because `commands = []` does _not_ behave the same
as disabling a link. Instead, it navigates to the current page, but will also
clear any fragment and/or query params.
The new behavior of the `routerLink` input will be to completely disable navigation
for `null` and `undefined` inputs. For HTML Anchor elements, this will also mean
removing the `href` attribute.
Fixes#21457Fixes#13980Fixes#31154
BREAKING CHANGE:
Previously `null` and `undefined` inputs for `routerLink` were
equaivalent to empty string and there was no way to disable the link's
navigation.
In addition, the `href` is changed from a property `HostBinding()` to an
attribute binding (`HostBinding('attr.href')`). The effect of this
change is that `DebugElement.properties['href']` will now return the
`href` value returned by the native element which will be the full URL
rather than the internal value of the `RouterLink` `href` property.

The management of `browserUrlTree` currently has several problems with
correctly tracking the actual state of the browser.
This change makes the Router eagerly update the `browserUrlTree` when
handling navigations triggered by browser events (i.e., not 'imperative'). This
is because with those types of navigations, the browser URL bar is
_already_ updated. If we do not update the internal tracking of the
`browserUrlTree`, we will be out of sync with the real URL if the
navigation is rejected.
It would be best if we could remove `browserUrlTree` completely, but doing that
would require a lot more investigation and is blocked by #27059 because
the SpyLocation used in tests does not emulate real browser behavior.

treat this as a redirect and skip the history restoration attempt. This
acts similarly to returning `UrlTree` from a guard.

When recognizing routes, the router merges nodes which map to the same
empty path config. This is because auxiliary outlets under empty path
parents need to match the parent config. This would result in two
outlet matches for that parent which need to be combined into a single

In addition, the children of the merged nodes should also be merged to

There are two parts to this commit:
1. Revert the changes from #38379. This change had an incomplete view of
how things worked and also diverged the implementations of
`applyRedirects` and `recognize` even more.
2. Apply the fixes from the `recognize` algorithm to ensure that named
outlets with empty path parents can be matched. This change also passes
all the tests that were added in #38379 with the added benefit of being
a more complete fix that stays in-line with the `recognize` algorithm.
This was made possible by using the same approach for `split` by
always creating segments for empty path matches (previously, this was
only done in `applyRedirects` if there was a `redirectTo` value). At the
end of the expansions, we need to squash all empty segments so that
serializing the final `UrlTree` returns the same result as before.

This commit updates the `recognize` algorithm to work with named outlets
which have empty path parents. For example, given the following config
```
const routes = [
{
path: '',
children: [
{path: 'a', outlet: 'aux', component: AuxComponent}
]}
];
```
The url `/(aux:a)` should match this config. In order to do so, we need
to allow the children of `UrlSegmentGroup`s to match a `Route` config
for a different outlet (in this example, the `primary`) when it's an
empty path. This should also *only* happen if we were unable to find a
match for the outlet in the level above. That is, the matching strategy
is to find the first `Route` in the list which _matches the given
outlet_. If we are unable to do that, then we allow empty paths from
other outlets to match and try to find some child there whose outlet
matches our segment.
