Ivy

@travist I debugged the issue with Ivy today. The auth, manager, grid, and resource modules are packed individually but contain references for each other, eg. manager imports auth. Ivy detects the modules as standalone packages and tries to manage async, but it reaches auth through manager as well, then throws an error since there is a lock file indicates it already processing it. The solution would be re-structuring the lib to having only 1 entry point for each module for Ivy.

Hey, Just tried to upgrade to Angular 12, and we’re now forced to use Ivy… How far is the implementation of Ivy support @travist ?

When building our project we receive errors like:

Error: Tried to write C:/**/node_modules/angular-formio/formio.config.d.ts.__ivy_ngcc_bak with an ngcc back up file but it already exists so not writing, nor backing up, C:/**/node_modules/angular-formio/formio.config.d.ts.
This error may be caused by one of the following:
* two or more entry-points overlap and ngcc has been asked to process some files more than once.
  In this case, you should check other entry-points in this package
  and set up a config to ignore any that you are not using.
* a previous run of ngcc was killed in the middle of processing, in a way that cannot be recovered.
  In this case, you should try cleaning the node_modules directory and any dist directories that contain local libraries. Then try again.

Though the application builds and is able to run. Besides these errors we are experiencing problems with emitting updated data through the FormioBaseComponent.refresh event.
