Issue with Universal Support and CookieBackendService

[Loni2Shoes]

I am tying to add this library to a universal-enabled project, using the Universal Support instructions.

The two module-level import statements suggested for use are:

import { CookieService } from 'angular2-cookie/services/cookies.service';
import { CookieBackendService } from 'angular2-cookie/services/cookies.backend.service';

with providers supplied in the following way:

providers: [
    {
      provide: CookieService,
      useClass: CookieBackendService
    }

However, this results in the following error:

Exception: Call to Node module failed with error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'headers' of undefined at CookieBackendService.get [as cookieString]

Is there anything else that I need to configure to get his working with Universal?

@Loni2Shoes did you figure out what causes this?

Anyone is working on this?

have the same problem, but just when I'm using lazy loaded modules in my project

From what I can tell this error stems from how you provide request and response in your express engine. The example in the angular universal repo makes them available as injectable tokens https://github.com/angular/universal/tree/master/modules/ng-express-engine#using-the-request-and-response

I've forked ngx-cookie (the new version of angular2-cookie) to use these injected tokens jzahka/ngx-cookie@d5bc30c#diff-93b0490d252f26a870ada20b3b97cbddR9

@jzahka

which angular universal repo do you mean? the starter? I can't find anything related to cookies there

I now upgraded my universal-starter project from 2.x to 4.0.0 and also upgraded the angular2-cookie to the ngx-cookie but still have the same problem not sure how to solve this issue
