JoostK 460befd693 fix(ngcc): support element accesses for export declarations (#44824)
Bundlers like Rollup may use an element access expression for an export
declaration, which causes ngcc to ignore those export declarations possibly
resulting in incomplete processing of packages.

Element access syntax may be used when the declared name is not considered
as valid JS identifier, but bundlers may be conservative in determining whether
an identifier can be used (to emit a property access) and opt for a string
literal in an element access instead.

The element access syntax introduces a problem for ngcc, where it wouldn't
consider such export as class declaration, causing them to be skipped. The
ngtsc compiler is implemented with the assumption that all class declarations
use a `ts.Identifier` as name, whereas the element access is using a string
literal for the declared name. This makes it troublesome for ngcc to support
this syntax form in UMD bundles.

To work around the problem, this function transforms these access expressions
into regular property accesses. The source text is parsed to an AST to allow
finding the element accesses in a robust way, after which the affected text
ranges are replaced with property accesses in the original source text.

Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc)

This compiler will convert node_modules compiled with ngc, into node_modules which appear to have been compiled with ngtsc.

This conversion will allow such "legacy" packages to be used by the Ivy rendering engine.

Building

The project is built using Bazel:

yarn bazel build //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc

Unit Testing

The unit tests are built and run using Bazel:

yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc/test

Integration Testing

There are tests that check the behavior of the overall executable:

yarn bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/ngcc/test:integration
