Feature Request: Never Mock CommonModule standalone directives

[evtk]

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

I'm currently migrating my Angular app to standalone components and I noticed a lot of UT's failing due to the fact that the standalone Directives from the CommonModule are all mocked.

If you use the CommonModule, this issue doesn't occur, because the CommonModule will never be mocked.

Proposed solution

Can all the standalone directives from the CommonModule also be excluded from mocking. This will prevent to do a

      .keep(NgIf)
      .keep(NgSwitch)
      .keep(NgSwitchCase)
      .keep(NgFor)
      etc...

in every UT. Many thanks!

Hi @evtk,

could you provide an example of a failing test?

As an option, you can use ngMocks.globalKeep(NgIf) to avoid repetitive declarations in different specs.
