Some notes about importing RxJS stuff
- Try RxJS Explorer to learn more!
- In RxJS 6+, there are only 2 kinds of pattern to import things.
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';- import everything that is a Type, Creation methods, Scheduler, Helper from
rxjs!
- import everything that is a Type, Creation methods, Scheduler, Helper from
import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';- all of the operators get imported from
