- I am using the latest (4.x.x) angular quickstart from angular.io.
- I want to import firebase and angularfire2.
I imported the libraries in systemjs.config.js as :
map: {
...
'firebase': 'npm:firebase',
'angularfire2': 'npm:angularfire2/bundles/angularfire2.umd.js',
'angularfire2/auth': 'npm:angularfire2/auth',
'angularfire2/database': 'npm:angularfire2/database',
...
},
packages: {
app: {
defaultExtension: 'js',
meta: {
'./*.js': {
loader: 'systemjs-angular-loader.js'
}
}
},
'firebase':{
main: './firebase.js',
defaultExtension: 'js'
},
'angularfire2/database':{
main: './database.js',
defaultExtension: 'js'
},
'angularfire2/auth':{
main: './auth.js',
defaultExtension: 'js'
},
}
Error Screen Cap
Update
I just want to emphasize this error
Unable to load transpiler to transpile http://localhost:3000/node_modules/angularfire2/database/database.js
Error loading http://localhost:3000/node_modules/angularfire2/database/database.js as "angularfire2/database" from http://localhost:3000/app/app.module.js
Ok, since angular developers keep changing their setup here are current step-by-step instructions how to load angularfire2 database module with angular 4 quickstart example.
start with cloning official quickstart repo
git clone https://github.com/angular/quickstart.git quickstart
install additional dependencies
npm i --save-dev angularfire2 firebase promise-polyfill plugin-typescript@6.0.4
change tsconfig.json to use "module": "system"
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es5",
"module": "system",
"moduleResolution": "node",
"sourceMap": true,
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"lib": [ "es2015", "dom" ],
"noImplicitAny": true,
"suppressImplicitAnyIndexErrors": true
}
}
add necessary stuff to systemjs.config.js
/**
* System configuration for Angular samples
* Adjust as necessary for your application needs.
*/
(function (global) {
System.config({
transpiler: 'ts',
typescriptOptions: {
tsconfig: true
},
meta: {
'typescript': {
"exports": "ts"
}
},
paths: {
// paths serve as alias
'npm:': 'node_modules/'
},
// map tells the System loader where to look for things
map: {
// our app is within the app folder
'app': 'app',
// angular bundles

firebase: {

}
});
})(this);
add AngularFireModule
and AngularFireDatabaseModule
to app.module.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AngularFireModule } from 'angularfire2';
import { AngularFireDatabaseModule } from 'angularfire2/database';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
AngularFireModule.initializeApp({
// NOTE: USE YOUR OWN API KEY
apiKey: "AIzaSyDFbuKX0UeXje-PRAvwIymYo2jk-uGqMa4",
authDomain: "test-bc800.firebaseapp.com",
databaseURL: "https://test-bc800.firebaseio.com",
storageBucket: ""
}),
AngularFireDatabaseModule
],
declarations: [ AppComponent ],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }
use db
in app.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { AngularFireDatabase } from 'angularfire2/database';
import { Subject } from 'rxjs/Subject';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
template: '<h1>Angularfire2 example app</h1>'
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor(db: AngularFireDatabase) {
// use db here
}
}
Note that while this example works, it compiles angularfire source code from es6 to javascript in the browser. It seems like pre-bundled angularfire code was not installed with npm i angularfire2
, so you will have to bundle it yourself for production.
