Current behavior

When building app for production, it fails with the following message:

error TS2322: Type '"multi"' is not assignable to type 'SortType'.

The error happens too if using [sortType]="'single'".

Expected behavior

No build errors related to ngx-datatable.

Reproduction of the problem

Add sortType attribute to your ngx-datatable component.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

I have a solution, you have to change the html to: [sortType]="SortType.multi"

And you have to declare a variabele in the typescript file (above the constructor) like ( and dont forget to import SelectionType):

SortType = SortType;

Import: import { ColumnMode, SortType } from 'projects/swimlane/ngx-datatable/src/public-api';

I found this answer in the official docs (the same for selection and sorting): https://github.com/swimlane/ngx-datatable/blob/master/src/app/selection/selection-single.component.ts http://swimlane.github.io/ngx-datatable/#single-selection

I was able to workaround the issue by setting this in my html:

[sortType]="sort"

And this in my component:

sort: any = 'multi';
