Possible new feature - A way to generate assets (flags svg's) in a specific folder during angular compilation

I'm reporting this related to the issue: https://github.com/lipis/flag-icons/issues/1265 starting from comment: https://github.com/lipis/flag-icons/issues/1265#issuecomment-2209366895

I'm using this library with Angular and I want to avoid (at compilation time) that angular build generates all the svg files in the root folder, do you know if there's any way to move all those *.svg files to a folder? in order to be used like:

/flags/*.svg files

My idea is to have this structure: ./project/assets/flags/*.svg ./project/project_file1.js ./project/project_file2.js ./project/project_fileN.js

it will be possible to add a way to set an absolute path for the flags svg files instead as an alternative to those relative paths? maybe a new lib feature to achieve that?

I think that will probably solve the problem that I've with the angular build setting all the flag images in the root folder of the build...

I'll appreciate to hear from you an this, thanks!

Another thing that it will be really great is if we could add just the flags needed instead of all the flags, but that's less important for me than the other feature.

is there any plans to add this feature

This is something I've been specifically looking into recently. You should be able to use PurgeCSS for this. I don't know if you can integrate PurgeCSS directly into your build process using the PostCSS plugin with Angular 18 and esbuild, but you can definitely do a postbuild step invoking PurgeCSS.

This I will do some due diligence on. I've only used React and Vue in the field, so I don't have experience with configuring Angular builds. It's been proposed that we change our folder structure, and I'm not entirely opposed to this, but I don't think that would directly affect the output structure.

@BruneXX Why about just inline the svg flag in your code ? This is my approach with angular with standalone components.

Not sure if this should be part of this project.. Sorry!
