Simple way to get the current value of a BehaviorSubject with rxjs5

Question

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

This method does not exist any more in

Answer 1

Look at the source code to a behavior subject

https://github.com/ReactiveX/rxjs/blob/master/src/internal/BehaviorSubject.ts

It still has a getValue method, it has a value property that just calls getValue, it was there in RxJs5.

Here is a StackBlitz using RxJs5.

All the comments talking about a breaking change in 6.5.0 are linking to comments about observables make with of not behavior subjects.

Answer 2

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.
