angularfire2

I picked the getting started with Angular2 tutorial format and only added in the angularfire2 part. I installed firebase and angularfire2 using the steps on the angularfire2 docs page Below is my systemjs.config.js /** * System configuration for Angular 2 samples * Adjust as necessary for your application needs. */ (function (global) { System.config({ 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 '@angular/core': 'npm:@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js'

I want my auth guard to wait until I get the auth back from firebase before it reroutes me. Currently, the auth guard check inits first. I need to make it async in the canActivate, or only populate the canActivate after called. auth.guard.ts import { Injectable } from '@angular/core'; import { Router, CanActivate } from '@angular/router'; import { AuthService } from './auth.service'; @Injectable() export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate { constructor(private authService: AuthService) { console.log(this.authService.isAuthenticated); // returns false, doesn't async } canActivate() {

I was wondering about best practices regard using pure observable vs subscribe to an observable and use an array. option 1 - "pure observable" this.schools = this.angularFire.database.list('schools') and then in the HTML use async pipe (and rxjs operators for handling the data) option 2 - "subscribe to array" this.angularFire.database.list('schools').subscribe (response => this.schools=response) and then treat it as a normal array. As olsn pointed out in the comments, it is always more practical to use the async pipe to handle this situation. However, if you choose to use the manual subscribe

I'm trying to use Firebase Cloud Messaging with Angular2 but it's like they don't want us to do that @Google. I've been following this and this to be able to stop errors. I'm now facing the following problem: Why does messaging.getToken() returns nothing? No error, no token in the console, nothing. Any help is more than welcome. Thank you. EDIT I've updated the code bellow with my try using onTokenRefresh() . It does not change anything. I feel like it comes from the fact that I'm not really plugged to my firebase files. Anybody have been able to make FCM with Angular2 and AngularFire2? import

I have an authService which when instantiated subscribes to AngularFireAuth 's Observable authState and sets the services' internal (private) property authState . So I can unit test authService I highjack the services' internal authState with Reflect.get/set in my test specs so I can control its value. The problem is of course authService is still subscribing to AngularFireAuth 's Observable authState during its instantiation and I don't want, nor need it to. I presume I need to mock out AngularFireAuth which fakes a subscription and doesn't actually communicate to Firebase? New to unit tests
