createEntityAdapter fails to compile with Ionic 3 / Angular 5 AoT

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Having an issue with ionic build --prod and AoT compilation. I’ve reported the issue at github to @ngrx as it centers around the createEntityAdapter.

Has anyone run into this issue before?

I am unable to build application using ionic build --prod. It appears to be failing inside the Angulat AoT compiler. The error received is

Error encountered resolving symbol values statically. Function calls are not supported. Consider replacing
the function or lambda with a reference to an exported function (position 8:13 in the original .ts file),

Expected behavior:
I would expect the compiler to build the application without errors.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions:
Create an Angular 5 application using @ngrx/entity, create an entity adapter and attempt to compile with AoT.

Version of affected browser(s),operating system(s), npm, node and ngrx:
Node: 9.3.0
NPM: 5.6.0
NGRX: 5.1.0

from package.json:

"@angular/common": "5.0.3",
"@angular/compiler": "5.0.3",
"@angular/compiler-cli": "5.0.3",
"@angular/core": "5.0.3",
"@angular/forms": "5.0.3",
"@angular/http": "5.0.3",
"@angular/platform-browser": "5.0.3",
"@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "5.0.3",
"@ionic-native/core": "4.4.0",
"@ionic/pro": "^1.0.20",
"@ionic/storage": "2.1.3",
"@ngrx/core": "^1.2.0",
"@ngrx/effects": "^5.1.0",
"@ngrx/entity": "^5.1.0",
"@ngrx/store": "^5.1.0",
"@ngrx/store-devtools": "^5.1.0",
"ionic-angular": "3.9.2",

Current code that is failing:

import { createEntityAdapter, EntityAdapter, EntityState } from '@ngrx/entity';

import { PostCommentWithCommenter } from '../models';

export const commentAdapter: EntityAdapter<
  PostCommentWithCommenter
> = createEntityAdapter<PostCommentWithCommenter>({
  selectId: model => model.details.objectId,
  sortComparer: (
    a: PostCommentWithCommenter,
    b: PostCommentWithCommenter
  ): number =>
    b.details.createdAt.toString().localeCompare(a.details.createdAt.toString())
});

export interface CommentState extends EntityState<PostCommentWithCommenter> {
  isLoading?: boolean;
  error?: any;
}

export const commentInitialState: CommentState = commentAdapter.getInitialState();

I have tried refactoring to use only exported functions instead of all lambdas, but still receiving same errors.
