Firebaseui-web: Please support SSR - Server Side Rendering - window is not defined

[AnthonyNahas]

I am using the combination angularfire2 and firebaseui in order to authenticate users.
The app is universal and i am using nodejs to render the app.
Since window, document, navigator, and other browser types - do not exist on the server, i am not able to use the firebaseui module

Server side rendering is not supported and not on our current roadmap.

@AnthonyNahas I found simple solution. In Vue this works fine:

// Mounted hook is called only in browser, so window is defined
mounted () {
    const firebaseui = require('firebaseui')
}

@TovarischChe thanks for your suggestion! However, I implemented my own firebaseui module that support SSR and material design ;) (still in dev - alpha release) ... take a look here ngx-auth-firebaseui
cheers
