How to Inject Window into Angular 2.1.0

Question

In the earlier RC releases of Angular 2 I was able to inject the window object by adding

{provide: Window, useValue: window}

To the providers

Answer 1

In order for it to work with AOT you need to do useFactory instead of useValue:

export function windowFactory() {
  return window;
}

module:

providers: [
   { provide: 'window', useFactory: windowFactory }
]

component:

constructor(@Inject('window') window: Window})
