Features like Angular Universal and Cloud Messaging

Angular-Universal + Cloud Messaging

Since Angular Universal is a big feature for Angular-Apps and a third-party library already included it. Maybe it is possible to include a NGU-Feature out of the box aswell.

Same goes for Cloud Messaging

You can find implementation of those features at AngularFire-Lite

Is there a possibility to implement those features in near future?
Thank you very much.

Hi @BastianKrones! We actually are close to landing Angular Universal compatibility, see #1454. Up next we do plan on providing support for Cloud Messaging as well.

I'm aware of AngularFire-Lite, but it's implementation is not idea. It switches to uses Angular's HttpClient module if it detects platform server. This implementation has many downsides, mainly being that you download both server and client code for either platform. This implementation also forces a dependency on Angular's HttpClient module. Handling authenticated requests also becomes more complicated.

Our solution is to get Zone's working with the current version of the server so it can properly server-side render without much additional work.

Is there a separate Cloud Messaging issue? I'd like to subscribe to it so I'll get notified when it's ready.
