New esbuild builder support #399

A new builder is available since Angular 16 : "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser-esbuild"

This build system is the default one for Angular 17.

Is there any plan to support it ?

Thanks Manfred for providing this package. I would be interested in esbuild support as well.

@manfredsteyer It would be interesting to know if this is planned and eventually add the response in the readme file cause more and more people will have the same question I guess.

In the meantime, for those passing by, even though it is not well documented there is already 2 important features in the latest ng17 release:

build variables (equivalent to DefinePlugin)
loaders (like a file loader practical for images and cache busting for instance)

In my personal case, this was exactly the 2 features I needed so I have been able to remove ngx-build-plus for the dev and prod build. Only using it for unit tests now. Waiting for WebTestRunner to be stable.
