Current behavior

When running in production SSR mode, ngx-cache fails on second load. It looks like it tries to create the .cache folder twice, and fails:

Error: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir '/Users/foo/bar/.cache'
    at Object.fs.mkdirSync (fs.js:874:3)
    at new FsStorageService (/Users/foo/bar/node_modules/@ngx-cache/fs-storage/bundles/ngx-cache-fs-storage.umd.js:131:20)
    at _createClass (/Users/foo/bar/node_modules/@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js:20740:24)
    at _createProviderInstance (/Users/foo/bar/node_modules/@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js:20712:30)
    at resolveNgModuleDep (/Users/foo/bar/node_modules/@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js:20676:25)
    at NgModuleRef_.get (/Users/foo/bar/node_modules/@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js:21384:20)
    at new FsCacheService (/Users/foo/bar/node_modules/@ngx-cache/platform-server/bundles/ngx-cache-platform-server.umd.js:41:39)
    at _createClass (/Users/foo/bar/node_modules/@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js:20742:24)
    at _createProviderInstance (/Users/foo/bar/node_modules/@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js:20712:30)
    at resolveNgModuleDep (/Users/foo/bar/node_modules/@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js:20676:25)

Expected/desired behavior

The expectation is that the cache services should check to see if the folder exists before trying to recreate it. This error breaks everything and shows in the browser.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

Checkout the latest ng-seed/universal.
Use npm run start:ssr:prod to start on localhost:4000

there is bug in XpFsStorageService use if (!stat.isDirectory()) { not if (!stat.hasOwnProperty('isDirectory')) {

workaround can by done by own implementation of storageService https://gist.github.com/meatfly/baff02d8004802a870b77171f0b3f6e0

and than use in app.server.module.ts

   ServerCacheModule.forRoot([
      {
        provide: CACHE,
        useClass: FsCacheService
      },
      {
        provide: STORAGE,
        useClass: XpFsStorageService
