BUILD Error when using momentjs

Type of Issue

[X] Bug Report
[ ] Feature Request

Description

As a few people before me, I cannot run ng-packagr when using moment. I tried the suggested solutions in other issues but I cannot get it to work.

I added the following:

"lib": {
"externals": {
      "moment": "moment"
    }
}

When using import * as moment from ‘moment’; I get the following

BUILD ERROR
Cannot call a namespace ('moment')
Error: Cannot call a namespace ('moment')

When using import moment from ‘moment’

time-line/node_modules/moment/moment"' has no default export

How To Reproduce

Include moment into something and try to run ng-packagr

I uploaded a small example of my setup to GitHub where the issue is reproducible https://github.com/Nevergonnachange/moment-ng-packagr/tree/master/src

Expected Behaviour

Build passes

Version Information

ng-packagr: v1.6.0
node: v7.10.1
@angular: v5.0.0
rxjs: 5.5.2
zone.js: 0.8.18
moment: 2.19.2

Thank you very much in advance.

For a different workaround without the need to use moment-es6 nor allowSyntheticDefaultImports, please see https://github.com/dherges/ng-packagr/issues/163#issuecomment-345448834

Thank you very much for your fast response!

import moment from 'moment-es6';

Works fine for me.

The

import moment from 'moment';
+
"allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true

Adding a tsconfig.json with allowSyntheticDefaultImports set in the project root does not change anything. (as far as I understand I cannot change the tsconfig.json file for the ng-packagr).

I will for now use the moment-es6 workaround. It would still be nice to be able to get rid of it.

Thanks very much for you time and this awesome project.
