Using Firebase storage with AngularFire2

Question

I'm converting my code to start using AF5 to interact with Firebase Storage but I am also configuring the metadata with firebase.storage.UploadMetadata. Can that be changed with AF5 and avoid importing the firebase library?

Answer 1

Still, it hasn’t been publicly released.So you might need to install it as angularfire2@next.

Yes, You don't need to import entire firebase library.You just need to import AngularFireStorageModule.

import { AngularFireStorageModule } from 'angularfire2/storage';
