Previously, the executable for the Angular Compatibility Compiler (`ngcc`) was called `ivy-ngcc`. This would be confusing for users not familiar with our internal terminology, especially given that we call it `ngcc` in all our docs and presentations. This commit renames the executable to `ngcc` and replaces `ivy-ngcc` with a script that errors with an informative message (prompting the user to use `ngcc` instead). Jira issue: [FW-1624](https://angular-team.atlassian.net/browse/FW-1624) PR Close #33140
Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc)
This compiler will convert node_modules
compiled with ngc
, into node_modules
which
appear to have been compiled with ngtsc
.
This conversion will allow such "legacy" packages to be used by the Ivy rendering engine.
