[BUG] The CustomTagsService is not exported.

[smshafa]

Environment

• Hosting type
  • [x] Local deployment
• Version:
  • Formio.js version: ^4.13.8.
  • Frontend framework: Angular ~12.2.16.
  • Browsers: Edge, Chrome, and Firefox.
  • Browser versions: The last versions.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new component based on the FormBuilderComponent.

import { FormioAppConfig, FormioComponent } from '@formio/angular';
@Component({
  selector: 'app-form-builder',
  templateUrl: './form-builder.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./form-builder.component.scss']
})
export class FormBuilderComponent extends FormioComponent {

  constructor(
    public ngZone: NgZone,
    @Optional() public config: FormioAppConfig,
    @Optional() public customTags?: CustomTagsService,
    ) {
    super(ngZone, config, customTags);
  }

2. Try to import CustomTagsService reference in the import section. It can be added to the component.
3. In angular 12, and angular-formio 5.2.2, the compiler throws errors that the CustomTagsService can't be resolved.
4. If you create a fake service like CustomTagsService and inject it, custom components are not shown anymore!

Expected behavior

I expect that the custom components will be displayed on my pages, but they won't.

Observed behavior

The custom components work correctly on the form builder page (form-builder tag), but they don't work correctly for form viewer (formio tag).

Suggested solution:

I cloned the source code and added custom-tags.service.ts reference to the index.ts file, then I published a new NPM package and used this package for my own project and everything worked correctly.

export * from './core';
export * from './elements.common';
export * from './custom-component/custom-tags.service';                  // Add this line.
export * from './custom-component/create-custom-component';
export * from './custom-component/register-custom-component';
export { default as FormioSubmission } from './types/formio-submission';

Relative path in the angular-formio project: angular\projects\angular-formio\src\index.ts

Import section in my own project: import { CustomTagsService, FormioAppConfig, FormioComponent } from 'my-own-formbuilder';
