Repro steps

• npm install --save scrollreveal
• npm install --save ngx-scrollreveal
• In angular.json add this line
  "scripts": [
  "node_modules/scrollreveal/dist/scrollreveal.js"
  ]
• Add in your feature Module.
  import { NgsRevealModule } from 'ngx-scrollreveal';
  ...
  imports: [NgsRevealModule]

Run the app:

• ng serve

The log given by the failure

Error: src/app/app.module.ts:15:5 - error NG6002: 'NgsRevealModule' does not appear to be an NgModule class.

NgsRevealModule,
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

node_modules/ngx-scrollreveal/ngs-reveal.module.d.ts:6:22

export declare class NgsRevealModule {
                       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This likely means that the library (ngx-scrollreveal) which declares NgsRevealModule is not compatible with Angular Ivy. Check if a newer version of the library is available, and update if so. Also consider checking with the library's authors to see if the library is expected to be compatible with Ivy.

From Angular 15 I get this when compiling.

Generating browser application bundles (phase: setup)...Processing legacy "View Engine" libraries:

• ngx-scrollreveal [es2015/esm2015] (git://github.com/tinesoft/ngx-scrollreveal.git)
  Encourage the library authors to publish an Ivy distribution.

As per the documentation, it shoud work for Angular 6+. However, it doesn't. My Angular is 17. It throws exactly the same error.

@turboaux @niamat-bakhshi anyone know what the complexity is with supporting Ivy so we can push a PR?
