File is not under 'rootDir'

I just installed and tried to use your croper. When i started to build my project i saw the following error:

File 'projectRoot/node_modules/ng2-img-cropper/src/model/point.ts' is not under 'rootDir' '/projectRoot/frontend/src'. 'rootDir' is expected to contain all source files.

I'm experiencing the same thing when using AOT compilation with Angular 2 2.4.1, Typescript 2.1.4 and the Image Cropper (v.0.7.6).

I suspect that rootDir is the issue on some level.

tsconfig.json

The issue seems to have appeared in other libraries as well (https://github.com/valor-software/ng2-select/issues/161).

The problem is that the NPM package contains *.ts files. There's no reason to deploy your *.ts files with the package, so I would recommend using your .npmignore file to ignore them when packaging your app.

A quick-and-dirty fix for those with this issue would be to delete the *.ts and *.ngsummary.json files from your node_modules/ng2-img-cropper folder. Be sure to clean the src folder too!

This solution worked for me.
