Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Generated services for angular-typescript generator result in one angular service class per API controller. However, if the app only uses one or two endpoints from that controller, we still load in the entire angular service class.
Describe the solution you'd like
There should be a way to tree-shake away any unused API endpoints from the production bundles.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I've considered customizing the angular-typescript generator templates for my own case to be smaller and tree-shakable, but the documentation for how to customize generator templates is very confusing and I have not had any success.
Additional context
There does not seem to be any version of generated typescript or javascript code that generates tree shakable functions instead of relying on classes.

Research direction
Review the angular-typescript generator templates and the documentation for customizing generator templates first. Define how generated services could support tree-shakable endpoint usage, then verify the generated output in a representative Angular application. The issue is done when unused endpoints are excluded from production bundles.
