About

Angular Universal: ReferenceError: window is not defined. This error can be caused by a reference to the Window object if you are rendering your application from a server like Node.js. This error can also be caused by your code that references the Window object or any third-party module that references the Window object without having a defensive check against an undefined value of Window.

Installation

npm install --save @ntegral/ngx-universal-window
