Description

I am a trying to use this template and tried to upgrade it to 2.4, but there is some difficulties, so I decided to use Angular 2.1.0. The styling was not working, so I have added this-

AbrarJahin/Dot.NetCore_Angular2_App@be93036

Now I am having some error like this-

An unhandled exception occurred while processing the request.

Exception: Call to Node module failed with error: Prerendering failed because of error: ReferenceError: window is not defined

If you need to use libraries that depend on browser APIs, then you won't be able to use server-side prerendering, or at least you need to ensure that those code paths don't get hit when the app is running on the server (e.g., like in this answer: #23)
