Liam DeBeasi a0a77f799d feat(searchbar): autocapitalize, dir, lang, maxlength, and minlength are inherited to native input (#29098)
Issue number: resolves #27606

<!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an
issue. -->

<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,
etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. -->

## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->

Certain attributes are not be inherited to the inner searchbar.
Developers need control over these attributes to provide important
context to users for things like language and text direction.
Additionally, being able to control things like autocapitalize,
maxlength, and minlength can help improve the user experience by a)
guiding what should be entered into an input and b) removing
autocapitalize where it's not appropriate.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

- Added autocapitalize, maxlength, and minlength properties
- lang and dir are global attributes, so adding them as properties will
cause issues. However, developers can still set them as attributes and
they will be inherited to the native `input` element. We also watch them
so any changes to the attributes are also inherited to the native
`input`.

## Does this introduce a breaking change?

- [ ] Yes
- [x] No

<!--
  If this introduces a breaking change:
1. Describe the impact and migration path for existing applications
below.
  2. Update the BREAKING.md file with the breaking change.
3. Add "BREAKING CHANGE: [...]" to the commit description when merging.

## Other information

<!-- Any other information that is important to this PR such as
screenshots of how the component looks before and after the change. -->

Note: We expanded the scope of this work to also include input and
textarea, and this work will be handled separately. However, the
original request was only for searchbar so that's why I associated this
PR with the linked issue.

Testing ng-add in ionic

  1. Pull the latest from main
  2. Build ionic/angular: npm run build
  3. Run npm link from ionic/angular/dist directory
  4. Create a blank angular project
ng new add-test
// Say yes to including the router, we need it
cd add-test
  1. To run schematics locally, we need the schematics-cli (once published, this will not be needed)
npm install @angular-devkit/schematics-cli
  1. Link @ionic/angular
npm link @ionic/angular
  1. Run the local copy of the ng-add schematic
$ npx schematics @ionic/angular:ng-add

You'll now be able to add ionic components to a vanilla Angular app setup.

Project Structure

common

This is where logic that is shared between lazy loaded and standalone components live. For example, the lazy loaded IonPopover and standalone IonPopover components extend from a base IonPopover implementation that exists in this directory.

Note: This directory exposes internal APIs and is only accessed in the standalone and src submodules. Ionic developers should never import directly from @ionic/angular/common. Instead, they should import from @ionic/angular or @ionic/angular/standalone.

standalone

This is where the standalone component implementations live. It was added as a separate entry point to avoid any lazy loaded logic from accidentally being pulled in to the final build. Having a separate directory allows the lazy loaded implementation to remain accessible from @ionic/angular for backwards compatibility.

Ionic developers can access this by importing from @ionic/angular/standalone.

src

This is where the lazy loaded component implementations live.

Ionic developers can access this by importing from @ionic/angular.
