Shane 9e11fcb2bb test(angular): fixing over-import of RouterModule in the standalone router-link test (#30285)
Issue number: resolves internal

---------

<!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an
issue. -->

<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,
etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. -->

## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->
Currently the standalone test app for router-link in Angular imports all
of `RouterModule` when it only needs to import `RouterLink` from
`@angular/router`

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

Now, the Angular test app will import only what it needs from router
instead of over-importing.

## Does this introduce a breaking change?

- [ ] Yes
- [X] No

<!--
  If this introduces a breaking change:
1. Describe the impact and migration path for existing applications
below.
  2. Update the BREAKING.md file with the breaking change.
3. Add "BREAKING CHANGE: [...]" to the commit description when merging.

Testing ng-add in ionic

  1. Pull the latest from main
  2. Build ionic/angular: npm run build
  3. Run npm link from ionic/angular/dist directory
  4. Create a blank angular project
ng new add-test
// Say yes to including the router, we need it
cd add-test
  1. To run schematics locally, we need the schematics-cli (once published, this will not be needed)
npm install @angular-devkit/schematics-cli
  1. Link @ionic/angular
npm link @ionic/angular
  1. Run the local copy of the ng-add schematic
$ npx schematics @ionic/angular:ng-add

You'll now be able to add ionic components to a vanilla Angular app setup.

Project Structure

common

This is where logic that is shared between lazy loaded and standalone components live. For example, the lazy loaded IonPopover and standalone IonPopover components extend from a base IonPopover implementation that exists in this directory.

Note: This directory exposes internal APIs and is only accessed in the standalone and src submodules. Ionic developers should never import directly from @ionic/angular/common. Instead, they should import from @ionic/angular or @ionic/angular/standalone.

standalone

This is where the standalone component implementations live. It was added as a separate entry point to avoid any lazy loaded logic from accidentally being pulled in to the final build. Having a separate directory allows the lazy loaded implementation to remain accessible from @ionic/angular for backwards compatibility.

Ionic developers can access this by importing from @ionic/angular/standalone.

src

This is where the lazy loaded component implementations live.

Ionic developers can access this by importing from @ionic/angular.
