Hi @rajesh-kanakabandi ,
Yes already knew that the AOT fails, is in my plans to make the library AOT compatible soon, in the coming weeks.

[rajesh-kanakabandi]

@tiberiuzuld thank you for the response.

Hi @rajesh-kanakabandi ,
Library v2.6.0 is now compatible with AOT.
Let me know if you find any issues.

[rajesh-kanakabandi]

@tiberiuzuld the AOT build is causing these errors on the console(these seem to be introduced in version 2.5.0 when updated to use angular4).

is there any way to make this work with angular 2.x.x

Hi @rajesh-kanakabandi ,
Renderer2 is only available in angular4

The migration for a angular2 app to angular4 should be easy enough.
If I downgrade to angular2 then the angular4 apps will have issues because Renderer (1) which is deprecated and functions differently.
And with angular2 I will have issues with angular-cli and the demo app.

So I am sorry but you will have to upgrade your app to angular4 and angular-cli@1.0.0 to be able to use AOT.
