I am trying to implement Firebase Realtime Database into a angular project and Im getting stuck at one of the very first steps. Importing AngularFireModule and AngularFireDatabaseModule. It gives me the following error:
Module '"@angular/fire"' has no exported member 'AngularFireModule'.ts(2305)
Module '"@angular/fire/database"' has no exported member 'AngularFireDatabaseModule'.
And here is how I am importing them:
import {AngularFireModule } from '@angular/fire';
import {AngularFireDatabaseModule} from '@angular/fire/database'
Am I missing something here? I have installed @angular/fire via the command
npm i firebase @angular/fire
and have also installed firebase tools. Here is a list of the Angular packages I currently have installed and their versions:
Angular CLI: 12.2.2
Node: 14.17.4
Package Manager: npm 6.14.14
OS: win32 x64
Angular: 12.2.3
... animations, common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms
... platform-browser, platform-browser-dynamic, router
Package Version
---------------------------------------------------------
@angular-devkit/architect 0.1202.2
@angular-devkit/build-angular 12.2.2
@angular-devkit/core 12.2.2
@angular-devkit/schematics 12.2.2
@angular/cli 12.2.2
@angular/fire 7.0.0
@schematics/angular 12.2.2
rxjs 6.6.7
typescript 4.3.5
I do apologise if this is all excessive information but I am completely stuck as to what the issue is. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Right now my suspicion is that its a compatibility issue or perhaps a feature that doesnt exist anymore on the latest versions but I really dont know.
AngularFire 7.0.0 was launched yesterday with a new API that has a lot of bundle size reduction benefits.
Instead of top level classes like AngularFireDatabase, you can now import smaller independent functions.
import { list } from '@angular/fire/database';
The initialization process is a bit different too as it has a more flexible API for specifying configurations.
@NgModule({
imports: [
provideFirebaseApp(() => initializeApp(config)),
provideFirestore(() => {
const firestore = getFirestore();
connectEmulator(firestore, 'localhost', 8080);
enableIndexedDbPersistence(firestore);
return firestore;
}),
provideStorage(() => getStorage()),
],
})
If you want to proceed with the older API there's a compatibility layer.
import { AngularFireModule} from '@angular/fire/compat'
import { AngularFireDatabaseModule } from '@angular/fire/compat/database';
here is an example:
import { initializeApp, provideFirebaseApp } from '@angular/fire/app';
imports: [
provideFirebaseApp(() => initializeApp(environment.firebase))
],
Here my code, working as of 1 Sep 2021
import { AngularFireAuthModule } from "@angular/fire/compat/auth";
import { AngularFireModule } from '@angular/fire/compat';
const firebaseConfig = [
AngularFireAuthModule,
AngularFireModule.initializeApp(environment.firebase) // Your config
];
