Adventures in Universal and Zone.js
summary
AngularFire adds usable server-side rendering by fixing upstream packaging, pulling in polyfills (WebSockets and XMLHttpRequest), and wrapping Firebase JS SDK initialization with runOutsideAngular to avoid zone timers. Problems include minified node packages referencing window and timers that prevent stabilization; solution uses a zone macro task to keep the server render waiting until async Firebase callbacks complete. Live demos initially time out but after these changes server-rendered pages produce real HTML; code lands on angularfire2 at next.
