/**
 * *** NOTE ON IMPORTING FROM ANGULAR AND NGUNIVERSAL IN THIS FILE ***
 *
 * If your application uses third-party dependencies, you'll need to
 * either use Webpack or the Angular CLI's `bundleDependencies` feature
 * in order to adequately package them for use on the server without a
 * node_modules directory.
 *
 * However, due to the nature of the CLI's `bundleDependencies`, importing
 * Angular in this file will create a different instance of Angular than
 * the version in the compiled application code. This leads to unavoidable
 * conflicts. Therefore, please do not explicitly import from @angular or
 * @nguniversal in this file. You can export any needed resources
 * from your application's main.server.ts file, as seen below with the
 * import for `ngExpressEngine`.
