Using angularfire2 with firebase

[shlomiassaf]

Hi,

Trying to ionic serve my code (using beta.12 branch for app-base and tabs app template) I get this error:

[01:54:08]  bundle failed:  Error: Module app/node_modules/angularfire2/node_modules/firebase/firebase-node.js does not export auth (imported by app/node_modules/angularfire2/auth/firebase_sdk_auth_backend.js)

It appears to be an error in the rollup bundling process (ngc completes ok).
Not sure if it's a problem with the integration of the bundle of angularfire2 with rollup or some config issue for rollup...

removing all imports of angularfire2 (and code that uses it) and the everything is fine.

Thanks, Shlomi.

Ok, to workaround this I had to provide a custom config for rollup and skip firebase

const rollupNG2 = require('@ionic/app-scripts/dist/plugins/rollupNG2').rollupNG2;
const nodeResolve = require('rollup-plugin-node-resolve');

// https://github.com/rollup/rollup/wiki/JavaScript-API

module.exports = {
  /**
   * entry: The bundle's starting point. This file will
   * be included, along with the minimum necessary code
   * from its dependencies
   */
  entry: '.tmp/app/main.prod.js',

  /**
   * sourceMap: If true, a separate sourcemap file will
   * be created.
   */
  sourceMap: true,

  /**
   * format: The format of the generated bundle
   */
  format: 'iife',

  /**
   * dest: the output filename for the bundle in the buildDir
   */
  dest: 'main.es6.js',

  /**
   * plugins: Array of plugin objects, or a single plugin object.
   * See https://github.com/rollup/rollup/wiki/Plugins for more info.
   */
  plugins: [
    rollupNG2(),
    nodeResolve({
      module: true,
      jsnext: true,
      main: true,
      browser: true,
      extensions: ['.js'],
      skip: [ 'firebase' ]
    })
  ]

};

And provide it in the index.html

This is of course a workaround... not a solution.

I don't think this is related to ionic-app-scripts, but something in AngularFire2. But glad you were able to come up with a solution. Thanks
