Why my code is compiled correctly even when I use partially compiled libraries

Question

I am using angular application version 12.2.16 . I am using this third party dependency https://github.com/ng-select/ng-select/blob/master/src/ng-select/tsconfig.lib.json It's comilationMode is set to true.

If I follow the documentation in Angular

https://angular.io/guide/creating-libraries#consuming-partial-ivy-code-outside-the-angular-cli

they state that we should use webpack and babel loader to consume third party dependepdency which has partial-ivy code.

But when I build my application with the default builder "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",

I do not have problems consumig this library.Are there some changes in this? Why is this happening? Is their documentation out of the date or I am missing something? From angular 12+ we can consume any library now?

If you are using @angular/cli to build your application, transpiling of external non-ivy dependencies is automatically taken care of.
