[BUG] IoEventContextToken is not exported

[daweedm]

Describe the bug

IoEventContextToken is not exported in the public API.

TS2305: Module '"ng-dynamic-component"' has no exported member 'IoEventContextToken'.

The following does not work :

import {IoEventContextToken} from "ng-dynamic-component";

Editor's import autocomplete generate the following instead :

import {IoEventContextToken} from "ng-dynamic-component/lib/io/event-context";

which produces the following error

 Error: Module not found: Error: Package path ./lib/io/event-context is not exported from package /usr/src/app/node_modules/ng-dynamic-component (see exports field in /usr/src/app/node_modules/ng-dynamic-component/package.json)

Expected behavior
IoEventContextToken should be available from the public API and should be able to be imported like this :

import {IoEventContextToken} from "ng-dynamic-component";

Reproduction
N/A

Environment:

• OS: Debian 12
• Browser: chrome
• Library version: 10.6.1
• Angular version: 15.1.0

@gund I found a workaround by using .bind(this) directly in the template :

<ng-template
    [ngComponentOutlet]="PointingScreenItemComponent"
    [ndcDynamicInputs]="{item: item}"
    [ndcDynamicOutputs]="{selected: onItemSelected.bind(this)}"
    *ngFor="let item of items"></ng-template>

Since function context binding works in the template, isn't IoEventContextToken redundant ?

@daweedm the .bind() workaround for sure works but it's inefficient as this call will be performed every time your component's view is change-detected, so IoEventContextToken is meant to optimally do this for you.
As a more performant workaround you can use arrow function for an event handler method on your component so it's already bound by default.

But it's a good catch, the IoEventContextToken must be part of the public API.
I will create a fix for this soon.
