Import without locales

[mhosman]

It could be great to add a way to import ngx-moment without locales and add the availability to import only the locales I want.

I'm using Angular 8 and was looking to save the ~400kb from locales as I'm not using them myself. This may be a more "modern" solution for Angular 7/8 and is confirmed working with me by comparing my build outputs with webpack-bundle-analyzer:

1. Install the custom-webpack angular builder npm i -D @angular-builders/custom-webpack
2. Create a new file, extra-webpack.config.js in your project:

const webpack = require('webpack');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new webpack.IgnorePlugin(/^\.\/locale$/, /moment$/),
  ]
}

3. In angular.json update the architect build builder option to use custom-webpack and also add the customWebpackConfig to the options pointing to the file created in step 1:

      "architect": {
        "build": {
          "builder": "@angular-builders/custom-webpack:browser",
          "options": {
            "customWebpackConfig": {
              "path": "./extra-webpack.config.js"
            },
... (rest of config)

4. Build and check your bundles, moment locales should be gone.
