@angular/platform-server : this._elementRef.nativeElement.querySelector is not a function

[mahmood-sajjadi]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

Bug

What is the expected behavior?

Should work with @angular/platform-server

What is the current behavior?

ERROR { Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: this._elementRef.nativeElement.querySelector is not a function
TypeError: this._elementRef.nativeElement.querySelector is not a function

What are the steps to reproduce?

The issue is related to this file
https://github.com/angular/material2/blob/master/src/lib/progress-spinner/progress-spinner.ts

but because it is a server-side rendering issue, and it is working fine in the client I can't create a plunker demo

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

Spinner is a common component for pages which will load a data from API call and should be ignored in server-side rendering as we will send a full pre-rendered HTML page with all content to the client, (but I don't know how should I ignore it after bootstrapping angular in client-side).

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, browsers are affected?

nightly-build 2.0.0-beta.3
2.0.0-beta.3-94320c4
https://registry.yarnpkg.com/@angular/material/-/material-2.0.0-beta.3.tgz#ec31dee61d7300ece28fee476852db236ded1e13

Is there anything else we should know?

No
