Hi @enniob, thanks to you for the report. I'm going to look at the error on sunday as I'm still on vacation. But I think this is just a small bug because I don't use any bigger APIs from the two angular modules.

Any solution?

[enniob]

@pedrobacchini I never heard back, so I end up making my own version of it.

@pedrobacchini - have you made your own version ?

[enniob]

@pedrobacchini yes, I made a simpler version. Look at my profile and you can see it. If you need any updates let me know and I can add to it
