Problem/Motivation

The manual inclusion and renaming of the ez-plus package within the 'libraries' directory is inconvenient for projects that manage dependencies via composer and ignore the 'libraries' directory in their git flow.

It would be preferred if the project included a composer.json that references `npm-asset/es-plus` as a dependency so that composer based projects can correctly get the package in `libraries`. Note, it is an implied assumption that most drupal projects managed by composer would be instructing npm-assets and bower-assets to install to `libraries`. Any deviation in this install path would cause an expected break due to the deviation from the module's library definition. And that responsibility to reconcile paths (if it ever happens) should fall on the individual projects.

Projects that don't leverage composer can't do business as usual without renaming the directory.

Steps to reproduce

To include the package via composer a project must call `composer require npm-asset/ez-plus`. Following drupal instructions regarding install paths ( https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/using-composer/using-composer-to-ins... → ) would result in the ez-plus directory that we are asked to rename.

Proposed resolution

1. Temporary patch for our composer users so that the library can point to the correctly named package directory 'ez-plus'.
2. Maintainer to establish composer.json file that includes npm-asset/ez-plus as dependency.
3. Update readme to instruct not to change directory name when manually adding the package to libraries.
4. Update library definition within .libraries.yml to point to new directory.

Remaining tasks

1. Create temp patch.
2. Create long term management via composer.json, revise
