Repro steps

Add ngx-share-buttons (e.g., <share-buttons [url]=url [size]="-2">) to a component and run Angular Universal Server-side. The error does not appear in the browser console.

Desired functionality

No error

Mention any other details that might be useful

The error above is from today. Is anyone else seeing this error running server-side Angular Universal (v5)? There is no error in the browser, so it only appears in the console if you're running an SSR universal build. I can see it in my dev environment and in error reporting on Google Cloud Platform (App Engine). The error does not stop all the share buttons from working. For example, Twitter and Facebook seem to still work. However, the error does prevent other server-side components from functioning properly so I've had to remove ngx-sharebuttons until it's resolved.

@stephencawood It should be fixed in 5.3.0

[stephencawood]

Thanks! I've confirmed that it's fixed.
