Package is not compatible with latest rxjs ^6.0.0

[4nd1m4n]

Bug, feature request, or proposal:

• Bug.

What is the expected behavior?

• Correct dependency information available, that shows the user that md2 is currently using rxjs ^5.0.0 versions import pathes wich where changed in ^6.0.0.

What is the current behavior?

• Compilation process will ask for the rxjs-compat package wich is a compatibility layer that can just be importet and will fix all breaking changes from rxjs ^5 to ^6 so that later one can focus on porting the project 'really' from ^5 to ^6.

What are the steps to reproduce?

• Trying to compile a project with md2 in the webpack config.

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

• Make md2 work again. (Simply import the rxjs-compat package for now.)

Which versions of Angular, MD2, OS, browsers are affected?

• Angular 6

Is there anything else we should know?

    ERROR in ./~/rxjs/Subject.js
Module not found : error : Can't resolve 'rxjs-compat/Subject' in 'X:\Y\z\src\h\XH\node_modules\rxjs'

Hi,
Does anybody know about a temporary workaround?

[4nd1m4n]

(Simply import the rxjs-compat package for now.)

Meaning in package.json:
{
"name": "md2",
"version": "0.0.29",
"description": "Angular2 based Material Design components, directives and services are Accordion, Autocomplete, Chips(Tags), Collapse, Colorpicker, Data Table, Datepicker, Dialog(Modal), Menu, Multiselect, Select, Tabs, Tags(Chips), Toast and Tooltip.",
"author": "Dharmesh Pipariya [email protected]",
"homepage": "https://github.com/Promact/md2",
"bugs": "https://github.com/Promact/md2/issues",
...
"dependencies": {
"rxjs": "^5.0.1",
...

Here you will probably have to switch to:
"rxjs": "^6.0.0",
"rxjs-compat": "^6.0.0",

Change rxjs version and add rxjs-compat. Then it -should- work again.

hey guys
How can I achieve that md2 run with angular 6x
Do I have to fork the repo and change the package.json file to the new rxjs version?

How can I then build and include the fork in my project?

Hi there, just migrated my app to Angular 6 and have this in package.json:
"rxjs": "^6.3.3",
"rxjs-compat": "^6.3.3",
The only thing that is not working in my app is the m2DateTimePicker?
Getting the following error:
Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: rxjs_Observable__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_3__.Observable.fromEvent is not a function

[nader-eloshaiker]

I am very appreciative of this pull request, is there any way to move this review along quicker so that is can be published? Would appreciate it even more :)

[kevinclerc]

Can someone please review this PR? this would be great!

[nader-eloshaiker]

@ilmstudios would you consider perhaps publishing your repo to npm, I get the feeling that this repo is either abandoned or relegated to casually supported.

[kevinclerc]

@ilmstudios yes please publish your repo, I think a lot of people would need this change...

[nader-eloshaiker]

Ok I’m abondoning this project and moving on. It looks like the future of this project is dead. Thanks for all the work up to this point and all the best.

I republished a npm package (https://www.npmjs.com/package/angular-md2) supporting rxjs6, If someone reaches here and still waits for a new version of this project. I only used md2 datepicker, and didn't test the others.
