Command

Description

Ionic starter application (template "side-menu") built with esbuild builder seems to be missing files.

The demo app attached to this post.

Minimal Reproduction

• Create a basic Ionic Angular application using Ionic cli wizard
• Build the application using @angular-devkit/build-angular:browser-esbuild
• Try to run the newly built app on your local http server

This appears to be an issue with Ionic's Angular support. Ionic is attempting to dynamically import components via runtime evaluation which is not supported. The Ionic Angular package may need to be updated to setup in a similar way to the other framework packages which do not appear to rely on the runtime evaluation.
