compiler
### Description
The [worklets](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Worklet) are light weighted version of web workers. Currently Angular supports web workers, but not worklets, this makes us unable to make use of Angular's Typescript and bundling support when writing a worklet (i.e. we have to write the worklet in pure Javasctript, or deal with compiling and bundling ourselves).
### Proposed solution
Support worklet like web workers.
### Alternatives considered
For now we have come to a hacky workaround:
1. Write the worklet as if it's a web worker. This is perfecly supported by Angular. Now the problem is, to load the compiled worker script, we don't have a trivial way to get its URL.
2. Wrap the worker code like this:
```js
if (typeof self !== "undefined") {
postMessage(self.location.href);
} else {
// do the worklet thing
}
```
When `self` is not `undefined`, we know this script is loaded as a webworker (in a worklet context it would be `undefined`). In this case, send the script's location by `postMessage`.
3. When trying to load the worklet, first load it as a web worker, wait for it to report the location, then terminate the worker and use the location to load the worklet.
E.g. load an audio worklet:
```typescript
// probe worker url
const worker = new Worker(
new URL("path/to/the/worker", import.meta.url),
);
const url = await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
worker.onmessage = (e) => {
resolve(e.data);
worker.terminate();
};
worker.onmessageerror = reject;
});
await audioContext.audioWorklet.addModule(url);
```
Guia de contribuição
Direção de pesquisa
Comece lendo o suporte existente a web-worker do compilador e comparando-o com a Worklet API descrita na issue. O trabalho estará concluído quando o Angular fornecer suporte equivalente à compilação e ao bundling de TypeScript para worklets, com cobertura para o fluxo de carregamento solicitado.
