Question

Previously in rxjs4 there was a method in the BehaviorSubject called: getValue() (doc here).

Answer 1

As was pointed out by artur grzesiak in the comments, the BehaviorSubject interface was cleaned up, and the getter is now just .value.

I just wanted to add this as an answer because I almost didn't read the comments to the original question, and would have missed the correct answer.
