Typescript error Property does not exist on type

Question

I am new to angularjs 2 and ionic 2. I am working with angularjs form with Validators, FormControl and FormGroup. Everything is good when I execute the project using ionic serve --lab. but when I build that project it gives error: Property 'username' does not exist on type.

login.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

import { LoadingController, NavController } from 'ionic-angular';

import { AuthService } from '../../service/authService';

import {Validators, FormBuilder, FormGroup, FormControl } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector: 'page-login',
  templateUrl: 'login.html'
})
export class LoginPage {

  user: any;

  submitAttempt: boolean = false;

  slideTwoForm : FormGroup;

  constructor(public navCtrl: NavController, 
              public authService: AuthService,
              public loadingCtrl: LoadingController, 
              private formBuilder: FormBuilder) {

    this.slideTwoForm = formBuilder.group({
      username: ['', Validators.compose([Validators.minLength(5),          Validators.required])],
      description: ['', Validators.required],
      age: ['']
    });
  }

  logForm() {
    if (!this.slideTwoForm.valid) {
      this.submitAttempt = true;
    }
  }

}

login.html

<ion-content padding>
    <form [formGroup]="slideTwoForm" (ngSubmit)="logForm()" novalidate>
        <ion-item>
            <ion-label floating>Username</ion-label>
            <ion-input #username formControlName="username" type="text"></ion-input>
        </ion-item>
        <ion-item *ngIf="!slideTwoForm.controls.username.valid  && submitAttempt">
            <p>Please enter a valid name.</p>
        </ion-item>
        <ion-item>
          <ion-label>Description</ion-label>
          <ion-textarea formControlName="description"></ion-textarea>
        </ion-item>
        <ion-item>
            <ion-label floating>Age</ion-label>
            <ion-input formControlName="age" type="number"></ion-input>
        </ion-item>
        <ion-item *ngIf="!slideTwoForm.controls.age.valid  && submitAttempt">
            <p>Please enter a valid age.</p>
        </ion-item>
        <button ion-button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </form>
</ion-content>

Everything is fine until I run ionic build android command to generate apk file.
Can someone please tell me why I am receiving these errors?

I also refers this link: Property does not exist on type. TypeScript but it can't help me:

Ionic2 uses ahead of time compile when building to android. AoT requires:

A) properties to be public

B) properties that are mentioned in the html to be declared in the component.

So to fix your problem declare public username:string; in the component and aswell declare other names you are accessing in your form.

Or ... in the html you can write formControlName='user.username' and use the property you already declared.

Don't forget to declare your elementref in the component aswell

Can I get the AOT Compiler to ignore some these html type errors – kolexinfos Dec 07 '16 at 08:51
@kolexinfos didn't see your comment but look at other answer. They ignored the errors by using [] property get so there is no static compiler check on that. That's how you get it to ignore the problems – misha130 Apr 13 '17 at 16:43
