caught ReferenceError: global is not defined #2
Description
Great library!
For some reason, today ng-qrcode failed with a big fat error.

I did some Googling and found:
global is not available as of Angular 6.
Library authors should not depend on this property. See this post: angular/angular-cli#9827 (comment)
As a workaround for now, I am putting this is my polyfills.ts
(window as any).global = window;
