 _Known issue for typescript users with --experimental-modules: you have to set allowSyntheticDefaultImports to true in tsconfig.json to pass the type check. Use it with caution since it makes the assumption that all modules have a default export, which might not be the case for the other dependencies you have. And Your code will break if you try to import the default export from a module that doesn't have default export._

 RxFire is a complementary library to Firebase. It is not meant to wrap the entire Firebase SDK. RxFire's purpose is to simplify async streams from Firebase. You need to import the Firebase SDK and initialize an app before using RxFire.

 RxFire is a set of functions. Most functions create observables and from there you can use regular RxJS operators. Some functions are custom operators. But at the end of the day, it's all just functions. This is important for **tree shaking**. Any unused functions are stripped from your final build if you use a module bundler like Webpack or Rollup.
