Compatibility issue with Angular 8/TS 3.5.3

[rushvora]

I was using your library and while compiling, came across these errors —

A bit of googling tells me this is because there is a TS version mismatch. I assume you wrote this for Angular 10, while I am using Angular 8.
I worked around this by setting "skipLibCheck": true in my tsconfig.json, which I believe just disables type checking for libraries used in the app.

Just wanted to bring this to your attention.. maybe add this piece of information to your readme?

I used windowRef and it works great.. so I am assuming I won't have any issues with using this in an Angular 8 app.

Thanks!

Hey @rushvora, yes my recent push was to get up to angular 10 - would you mind trying the previous ng-refs package version (0.3.2) with your Angular 8 project?

Hey @METACEO, the same issue still persists. I went through the history of package.json, and even v0.0.1 has Angular 9 as the peer dependency, not Angular 8. I believe the version of TS used from Angular 9 onwards works with the above code, which is causing issues with Angular 8/TS 3.5.3.

The latest version is working fine with the Angular 8 app after adding "skipLibCheck": true to tsconfig.json, so that's what I am doing for now, till we upgrade all our Angular projects to v10.

@rushvora I'd hate for you to have to turn on skipLibCheck - if I were to branch off a past commit and publish a separate version for ng8, would you use it?

@METACEO Yes, absolutely! That would be amazing.
