According to the HTML specification most attributes are defined as strings, however some can be interpreted as different types like booleans or numbers. [In the HTML standard](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/common-microsyntaxes.html#boolean-attributes), boolean attributes are considered `true` if they are present on a DOM node and `false` if they are omitted. Common examples of boolean attributes are `disabled` on interactive elements like `<button>` or `checked` on `<input type="checkbox">`. Another example of an attribute that is defined as a string, but interpreted as a different type is the `value` attribute of `<input type="number">` which logs a warning and ignores the value if it can't be parsed as a number.
Historically, authoring Angular inputs that match the native behavior in a type-safe way has been difficult for developers, because Angular interprets all static attributes as strings. While some recent TypeScript versions made this easier by allowing setters and getters to have different types, supporting this pattern still requires a lot of boilerplate and additional properties to be declared. For example, currently developers have to write something like this to have a `disabled` input that behaves like the native one:
```typescript
import {Directive, Input} from '@angular/core';
@Directive({selector: 'mat-checkbox'})
export class MatCheckbox {
@Input()
get disabled() {
return this._disabled;
}
set disabled(value: any) {
this._disabled = typeof value === 'boolean' ? value : (value != null && value !== 'false');
}
private _disabled = false;
}
```
This feature aims to address the issue by introducing a `transform` property on inputs. If an input has a `transform` function, any values set through the template will be passed through the function before being assigned to the directive instance. The example from above can be rewritten to the following:
```typescript
import {Directive, Input, booleanAttribute} from '@angular/core';
@Directive({selector: 'mat-checkbox'})
export class MatCheckbox {
@Input({transform: booleanAttribute}) disabled: boolean = false;
}
```
These changes also add the `booleanAttribute` and `numberAttribute` utilities to `@angular/core` since they're common enough to be useful for most projects.

The `targetPageId` was pre-calculated at the start of a navigation using
the same logic that exists in `setBrowserUrl` now. Doing the calculation
ahead of time is not necessary and complicates the transition state.

`RouterOutlet` components can initialize _during_ change detection (for
example, if they exist in an embedded view). When this happens, data
from the router should be bound immediately to the routed components
rather than not being available until the next round of change
detection. This is mostly just a problem for testing because change
detection is triggered manually. It would be surprising to have to
detect changes _twice_ on the fixture in order to get data bound to the
routed component.

The `ActivatedRoute` exposes several `Observable` members that are

separately.

When navigating in the Router, the current approach does the redirects
and the creation of the `RouterStateSnapshot` in two separate steps
(applyRedirects and recognize). These two steps duplicate the route
matching logic, resulting in user code on routes being executing twice
(custom `UrlMatcher` and `canMatch` guards). This also duplicates the
complex matching logic in two places, which increases the bundle size
and maintenance burden.
This commit combines the `applyRedirects` and `recognize` steps into a
single matching algorithm.

This commit implements a simple tracker of the pending tasks during initial rendering. The class allows adding and removing tasks from the set. The class also exposes a promise that gets resolved once the last task is removed.
This tracker is needed to keep track of ongoing processes like Router navigation (and potentially HTTP requests) and acts as a signaling mechanism to SSR and hydration that the application is in the "stable" state and a serialization can be performed.
This class would also act as a future replacement for the `ApplicationRef.isStable` for zoneless applications.

BREAKING CHANGE:
`ComponentFactoryResolver` has been removed from Router APIs.
Component factories are not required to create an instance of a component
dynamically. Passing a factory resolver via resolver argument is no longer needed
and code can instead use `ViewContainerRef.createComponent` without the
factory resolver.

This zone code was added with the incorrect assumption that it would
avoid scheduling a new change detection by creating the timeout outside
of the Angular zone. However, it has recently been (re)discovered that
calling `zone.run` when you are outside the angular zone results in a
synchronous change detection. With that, this bit of code doesn't
actually accomplish what it set out to do so it can be removed.

This change makes the `createUrlTreeFromSnapshot` added in #45877 the
default and only behavior in the Router. This now addreses #42191, #38276, #22763,
and #48472 without needing to create custom handling to
call `createUrlTreeFromSnapshot` (since it's now called by `Router.createUrlTree`).
BREAKING CHANGE: Tests which mock `ActivatedRoute` instances may need to be adjusted
because Router.createUrlTree now does the right thing in more
scenarios. This means that tests with invalid/incomplete ActivatedRoute mocks
may behave differently than before. Additionally, tests may now navigate
to a real URL where before they would navigate to the root. Ensure that
tests provide expected routes to match.
There is rarely production impact, but it has been found that relative
navigations when using an `ActivatedRoute` that does not appear in the
current router state were effectively ignored in the past. By creating
the correct URLs, this sometimes resulted in different navigation
behavior in the application. Most often, this happens when attempting to
create a navigation that only updates query params using an empty
command array, for example `router.navigate([], {relativeTo: route,
queryParams: newQueryParams})`. In this case, the `relativeTo` property
should be removed.
