Angular5 Server side rendering, external Api data service does not work in ssr

问题

I have setup and used successfully Angular5 + SSR. It is still pretty nice.

All components works well on SSR and Non-SSR. And there are some services which calls external HTTP get apis to get some data. Of course it work well on a Non-SSR mode.

But, the problem is that on SSR, node server does dot support to fetch and render the data. I can only see the fetched data after client side fetching and rendering.

import {Injectable} from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient, HttpHeaders } from '@angular/common/http';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
import {Observable} from "rxjs";

const httpOptions = {
    headers: new HttpHeaders({ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' })
};

@Injectable()
export class BannerService {

    constructor(public http: HttpClient){
        console.log('SmsService Initialized...');
    }

    getBanners(){
        return this.http.get(BASE_API_URL + '/getData', httpOptions);
    }
}

home.component.ts

import {Component, OnDestroy, OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from "@angular/router";
import {Subscription} from "rxjs/Subscription";
import {BannerService} from "../../services/banner.service";

@Component({
    selector: 'app-home',
    styleUrls: ['home.container.css'],
    templateUrl: 'home.container.html'
})

export class HomeContainerComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {

    public horizontalBannerList1;
    public horizontalBannerList2;
    public verticalBannerList;
    private bannerList;

    constructor( private router: Router, private bannerService: BannerService){
         ...
    }

    ngOnInit() {
        this.initBannerList();
    }

    ngOnDestroy() {
       ...
    }

    initBannerList(){

        if(this.bannerList){
            return;
        }

        this.bannerService.getBanners().subscribe(
            result => {
                console.log("bannerList result : ", result);
                this.bannerList = result;    
            },
            error => {
                console.error("bannerList error: ", error);
            },
            () => {
                console.log("bannerList completed");
            });
    }

}

I expected that on SSR the node server call http request data and render it on index.html but it's not....

Am I missing or misunderstood?

ps : Same issues are reported. https://github.com/angular/universal/issues/674 If I solve this issues or find out good doc, I would update it again. :)
