Angular-auth-oidc-client: ERROR ReferenceError: 'URLSearchParams' is undefined in IE and Edge

[rpipkin]

Guys, I love the direction of this project. I was using your raw ts files from before it was an npm package. I recently replace those with this npm package version. In IE and Edge, issuing a login request creates this bug in the console and never goes to the Identity server login page. Here's the error with the stack:

ERROR ReferenceError: 'URLSearchParams' is undefined
"ReferenceError: 'URLSearchParams' is undefined

There is a conversation in Angular's github discussing how URLSearchParams is a global variable and can easily be confused with the Angular class. https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/16378
I have a sneaking suspicion that IE and Edge are finding the wrong object to load. If I get time I'll try to clone and fix and submit a Pull Request, but if you guys get to it first, it would be hugely appreciated.

@rpipkin thanks for reporting. This is a bug.

@damienbod The error was created by this commit: https://github.com/damienbod/angular-auth-oidc-client/commit/d0745e7a828dd7e319e848acbdeabe83419d998c, when you moved to HttpClient: first URLSearchParams was imported from Http module, while the local variable is now being used.

A question- how can I make sure I get this fix into my current angular app?

[damienbod]

@mcano808 you can use the npm
