ReferenceError: global is not defined in Angular 6 application

[fetis]

Hello,

I'm facing this issue with fresh Angular 6 CLI project. The code to reproduce is very easy (config doesn't make sense here)

    this.auth = new WebAuth({
      clientID: 'xxx',
      domain: 'xxx',
      responseType: 'token id_token',
      audience: 'xxx',
      redirectUri: `${location.protocol}//${location.host}/callback`,
      scope: 'openid'
    });

    this.auth.authorize();

and it produces

ERROR ReferenceError: global is not defined
    at Object.getWindow (window.js:12)
    at Object.randomString (random.js:9)
    at TransactionManager.push../node_modules/auth0-js/src/web-auth/transaction-manager.js.TransactionManager.generateTransaction (transaction-manager.js:45)
    at TransactionManager.push../node_modules/auth0-js/src/web-auth/transaction-manager.js.TransactionManager.process (transaction-manager.js:20)

    at createDirectiveInstance (core.js:10033)
    at createViewNodes (core.js:11255)
    at callViewAction (core.js:11571)

This's because of

function getWindow() {
  return global.window;
}

in window.js

According angular/angular-cli#9827 (comment)
Angular team doesn't provide anymore any shimming for Node.js globals.

version: 9.5.1
Chrome 66 on MacOS, but I believe it's not browser specific.

The quick and hacky workaround would be

window.global = window

before any library usage
