material has no exported member 'ComponentType'.

It looks like Material2 may have removed this ComponentType component.
A fresh install results in a build error.

ERROR in.... node_modules/@covalent/core/dialogs/services/dialog.service.d.ts

node_modules/@angular/material/material ...has no exported member 'ComponentType'.

seemingly it is imported from

@angular/cdk/portal

now (it was a grep -r search, and two replacements)

Im assuming you are all using beta.12 now in material which we havent tested yet, please downgrade to beta.11 for now while we add support for beta.12 since they introduced more breaking changes.

[email protected] supports only [email protected]

[megetron]

after downgrade error was gone, thanks.

[lincze]

you are right it became material beta.12.

maybe, it would be better to use fix version number in package.json, not the at least version. (i've just run "npm run reinstall", and voilá, material beta.12 was installed, under the hood, not beta.11. if i ran it some hours earlier it would be beta.11 now)

[emoralesb05]

Thats why we also use yarn, if we wanna develop normally we use yarn install but keep npm open to test the latest dependencies.

Patch https://github.com/Teradata/covalent/releases/tag/v1.0.0-beta.8-1 has been released with material beta.12 support
