Ngrx/data, how to add a plural names map in a lazy loaded module?

Question

From the docs, I've tried to add the following provider in my lazy loaded Angular module...

{ provide: PLURAL_NAMES_TOKEN, multi: true, useValue: morePluralNames }

...but that is not working. A similar mechanism is described in the documentation as follows...

{ provide: ENTITY_METADATA_TOKEN, multi: true, useValue: someEntityMetadata }

This technique won't work for a lazy-loaded module. The ENTITY_METADATA_TOKEN provider was already set and consumed by the time the lazy-loaded module arrives.

The module should inject the EntityDefinitionService instead and register metadata directly with one of the registration methods.

class LazyModule {
  constructor(eds: EntityDefinitionService) {
    eds.registerMetadataMap(this.lazyMetadataMap);
  }
  ...
}

Does that mean I have to use the EntityDefinitionService in order to get my plural names recognized in my lazy loaded module? If so, how do I do that? I haven't been able to figure that out. If not, any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

I can supply more code if needed, but I mainly wanted to know if it should be working or if I need to do something different for plural names maps in lazy loaded modules (and exactly what that "something different" is).

By the document, you can register your own httpUrlGenerator in your lazy loading module, it works for me.

export class LazyModule {
    constructor(eds: EntityDefinitionService, hug: HttpUrlGenerator  ) {
        eds.registerMetadataMap(entityConfig.yourEntitiyMetaData);
        hug.registerHttpResourceUrls({
            input: {
                entityResourceUrl: 'xxx/input/',            
                collectionResourceUrl: 'xxx/inputs/'
            }
        });
    }

 }
