Bug Report

When trying to execute AOT compilation using webpack a number of files won’t compile as properties are marked as private: Errors such as the following are received:

Error in bail mode: [at-loader] compiled/node_modules/@covalent/core/data-table/data-table.component.ngfactory.ts:200:48 TS2341: Property ‘_templates’ is private and only accessible within class ‘TdDataTableComponent’.

This happens on the @ViewChild() and @ContentChildren() properties so to fix the problem, the following properties need to be marked as public:

_templates in core/file/file-input/data-table.component.ts. (line 72) _inputElement in in core/file/file-input/file-input.component.ts (line 52) _drawerMenu in core/layout/navigation-drawer/navigation-drawer.component.ts (line 35) _searchInput in core/search/search-box/search-box.component (line 28) _input in core/search/search-input/search-input.component (line 28) _content in core/steps/step.component (line 54)

To build my project, I am using the Webpack scripts found here:
