Angular 8+ es2015 support (qrcode rewrite)

Hi there,

I open this issue to keep you updated about my ongoing efforts to provide es2015 support for Angular 8+.

Angular 8 changed the default target in tsconfig.json from es5 to es2015, which resulted in a build error when building with ng build (ng serve works as expected).

To follow the efforts, subscribe to this issue, I will update it from time to time.

Update 3: 29/12/2019 (29. Dec. 2019)

Version 2.0.0 is now available

Version 2.0.0 is now available for download and fixes the es5 issue in Angular 8+. A workaround is no longer needed.

TODOS:

• DONE: Update Documentation to reflect the changes
• DONE: Add a step-by-step guide to migrate from 1.x to 2.x
• TBD: Test against angular 9
• TBD: Test against Ivy compiler
• TBD: Update Demo App
• TBD: Install a working demo app

Update 2: 29/12/2019 (29. Dec. 2019)

I finished the transition to the new qrcode library and released a series of 2.0 alpha versions to npm. The code is still WIP, the API is not feature complete and there are a couple of breaking changes due to the underlying lib.

Update 1: 09/02/2019 (2. Sep. 2019)

I’m now working in my spare time for a while on a recursion error in the lib. I push my branch to github when this issue is fixed.

Workaround (no longer needed)

A temporary workaround is to set the target in your tsconfig.json from es2015 to es5:

"target": "es5"

Tada, Version 2.0.0 is out - thank my wife and my newborn son 😃

All I want for Christmas is … for this fix to be made available … 🎄
