RXJS 6 compatibility

[GeorgeKnap]

Version info

Angular: 6.0.0-rc.0

Firebase: 4.12.0

AngularFire: 5.0.0-rc.6

Other (e.g. Ionic/Cordova, Node, browser, operating system):

    "rxjs": "6.0.0-beta.3",
    "rxjs-compat": "6.0.0-beta.1",

How to reproduce these conditions

ng serve fails with following error

ERROR in ./node_modules/angularfire2/database/observable/fromRef.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'rxjs/operator/observeOn' in 'C:\Development\profile-web\node_modules\angularfire2\database\observable'

in the fromRef.js file needs to be fixed import
import { observeOn } from 'rxjs/operator/observeOn';
to
import { observeOn } from 'rxjs/operators/observeOn';

[patrickmichalina]

I actually think it would be import { observeOn } from 'rxjs/operators

[sconix]

Would be nice to get even some @next release for this. I can see that there was already changes made that removed the usage of observeOn so some sort of pre-release would allow us to start migrating to Angular 6.

[davideast]

We should have a next release soon.

Perhaps because of the RxJS version change, there seems to be a greater than usual level of activity around the Angular community aiming to have version 6 compatibility very close to the version 6 ship date. It would be great to see Angularfire2 come along for this ride.

Hi
I see in npm version 5.0.0-rc.7.0-next published 4 days ago
After upgrading to angular 6 rc and rxjs 6, and angularfire 5.0.0-rc.7.0-next I still have the errors in angularfire related to use of old rxjs functions

Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'rxjs/add/operator/mergeMap'
ERROR in ./node_modules/angularfire2/database/list/changes.js

Did I miss something? wasn't the next version supposed to be based on the new rxjs version? like angular 6 rc?
I started the migration of my project to angular 6 rc but I'm stuck because of angularfire :(

@rurziceanu
I think we have to wait for v6.next release.

[rurziceanu]

Is there release date for the v6.next? because angular v6 is now at release candidate 5.. and no angularfire2 package since now for v6.. all other dependencies are up to date.. :(
I have only angularfire2 to migrate

rxjs just release 6.0 stable. They included a migration script to avoid the compat-layer.

[larssin]

I use the rxjs@5.6.0-forward-compat.4 to run the angularfire2@5.0.0-rc.6.0 and angular@6.0.0-rc.5 together.
See the Rxjs upgrade guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12nlLt71VLKb-z3YaSGzUfx6mJbc34nsMXtByPUN35cg/preview

[kylecordes]

@larssin That is quite interesting, it is the first suggestion I have seen (among many discussions!) to run Angular 6 with RxJS 5 forward-compat. This is a great workaround until Angularfire gets updated.

[ssrahul96]

update to RxJS 6 soon!

[rojasjandro89]

Any updates on this topic?? This renders AngularFire2 useless with the new version of angular

[GeorgeKnap]

@rojasjandro89 Temporary it works with rxjs-compat package and Angular 6. But yes, we are all eager for the new version.
