problems with SSR if(!window.ace) not work

[IgorKurkov]

Can't start SSR with Ace editor on Angular 6. I'm afraid that there I need some wrapper for SSR, but in Ace lib which used by AceEditorModule already exist some conditions for existing the window.ace or not, but it not work properly.

• "ng2-ace-editor": "^0.3.8"
• Angular 6.0.7

any ideas how to fix this?

npm run start:ssr

> [email protected] start:ssr I:\FRONTEND\Projects\Github\my-project - UNEXPECTED ERRORS
> node dist/server.js

I:\FRONTEND\Projects\Github\my-project - UNEXPECTED ERRORS\dist\server.js:254298
                    if (!window.ace)
                    ^

ReferenceError: window is not defined

IIFE which produce this error and try to handle window object with ace lib inside: node_modules/ace-builds/src/ace.js

(function() {
  window.require(["ace/ace"], function(a) {
    if (a) {
      a.config.init(true);
      a.define = window.define;
    }
    if (!window.ace)
      window.ace = a;
      for (var key in a) if (a.hasOwnProperty(key))
        window.ace[key] = a[key];
        window.ace["default"] = window.ace;
        if (typeof module == "object" && typeof exports == "object" && module){
          module.exports = window.ace;
        }
     });
})();

also npm package use brace as dependency, and in it also we see this code, but its different a little bit. And I don't know how to check which of lib's code produce this error. node_modules/brace/index.js:

(function() {
                ace.acequire(["ace/ace"], function(a) {
                    if (a) {
                        a.config.init(true);
                        a.define = ace.define;
                    }
                    if (!window.ace)
                        window.ace = a;
                    for (var key in a) if (a.hasOwnProperty(key))
                        window.ace[key] = a[key];
                });
            })();
