Alan Agius 13d9cc36c0 refactor: remove obsolete @types/babel__core dependency
Remove the obsolete @types/babel__core dependency from packages/compiler-cli and packages/localize. This dependency is no longer needed as Babel v8 ships with its own built-in TypeScript definitions.

Angular Linker

This package contains a FileLinker and supporting code to be able to "link" partial declarations of components, directives, etc in libraries to produce the full definitions.

The partial declaration format allows library packages to be published to npm without exposing the underlying Ivy instructions.

The tooling here allows application build tools (e.g. CLI) to produce fully compiled components, directives, etc at the point when the application is bundled. These linked files can be cached outside node_modules so it does not suffer from problems of mutating packages in node_modules.

Generally this tooling will be wrapped in a transpiler specific plugin, such as the provided Babel plugin.

Unit Testing

The unit tests are built and run using Bazel:

pnpm bazel test //packages/compiler-cli/linker/test
