### Problem Description
Cannot instantiate ESP8266WiFiMesh via 'new' in a user-defined class because needed typedefs are private. If the typedefs are marked public, this then works.
### [MCVE](https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve) Sketch
```h
#include
#include
class MyMeshWrapper
{
public:
MyMeshWrapper();
void networkFilter(int numberOfNetworks, ESP8266WiFiMesh &meshInstance);
String onRequestReceived(const String &request, ESP8266WiFiMesh &meshInstance);
transmission_status_t onResponseReceived(const String &response,
ESP8266WiFiMesh &meshInstance);
private:
ESP8266WiFiMesh * _pMesh;
}
```
```cpp
#include "MyMeshWrapper.h"
MyMeshWrapper::MyMeshWrapper()
{
ESP8266WiFiMesh::requestHandlerType rxType; /* = stuff */
ESP8266WiFiMesh::responseHandlerType rspType; /* = stuff */
ESP8266WiFiMesh::networkFilterType filterType; /* = stuff */
// doesn't compile. see error below
_pMesh = new ESP8266WiFiMesh(rxType, rspType, filterType, "password");
}
```
