ng2-qrcode does not work with angular-cli prod build

[deepatr]

Integrating ng2-qrcode with an angular-cli project gives the below error while running the prod build
ng build --prod

ERROR in Unexpected value 'QRCodeComponent in /../angular-cli/../node_modules/ng2-qrcode/dist/ng2-qrcode.d.ts' declared by the module 'AppModule in /angular-cli/../src/app/app.module.ts'
ERROR in ./src/main.ts
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './$$_gendir/app/app.module.ngfactory' in 'angular-cli/../src'
@ ./src/main.ts 4:0-74
@ multi ./src/main.ts

On raising the issue in angular-cli, I was told that the published ng2-qrcomponent package is outdated. Can this be updated to work with angular-cli?

I had the same issue and fixed it for me, let me know, if this works for you too - https://github.com/Cordobo/angularx-qrcode (this is basically a drop-in-replacement of ng2-qrcode with the same APIs)
