Consider replacing homebrew webpack-etc with ng-packagr

This is a very slick tool, which automates packing up an Angular-compatible library for maximum compatibility with CLI and other build tools, as well as direct (UMD) execution.

I suggest this as a better alternative to homegrown script setups inside a library - you generally get a more compatible, compliant library, with less code/config/work.

I will take a look, however I cannot promise I switch to this new tool.

Please take another look, it is not really new anymore :)

I've not been keeping close track either: is it even still necessary to call ng-packagr directly, or is the library support sufficiently complete in Angular CLI? Regardless though, homebrew packaging is even less necessary now than it was in 2017.

@jornare and @kylecordes : can you maybe create a PR ?

Unfortunately it's been a couple of years since I've used OData, so I don’t have the occasion to divert effort in this direction today, sorry!
