Add css classes to the container divs for ngIf and ngSwitch to ensure they fill the height of their parents. The template needs tidying up to avoid these unnecessary divs.

/* This is a really ad-hoc and crappy way of re-exporting modules,
 * whilst trying to reduce global namespace pollution
 * The main use case is providing access to npm modules inside a worker via importScripts
 * over using some compiled version (a la *.min.js, *.umd.js etc)
 * a better solution would be a custom webpack bundle,
 * but the current build system in angular-cli doesn't provide a way for custom webpack bundles
 * ....unless I am missing something
 *
 * this does, however, mean that modules will be loaded twice..
 * once by index.html and once by the worker..
 * one could potentially run a custom post build script
 * to remove the script tag in index.html generated by angular-cli for scripts.bundle
 * .. or find another way of doing this entirely....
