compatibility with firebase > 8.0.0

[hgrewa]

Any idea of how to handle the breaking change that comes with firebase 8.0.0 onward

Before 8.0.0
import * as firebase from 'firebase/app'

After 8.0.0
import firebase from 'firebase/app'

Adding geofirex to a new angular application is throwing errors like

Error: node_modules/geofirex/dist/client.d.ts:5:18 - error TS2694: Namespace '"..../node_modules/firebase/index"' has no exported member 'firestore'.

--> geopoint: fb.firestore.GeoPoint;

I tried adding "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true to tsconfig, but that does not address the issue
Is there a workaround?

Is this project still maintained?

It has been several years since the last comment and it appears this repo is no longer maintained, but I came across this discussion while trying to get geofirex to work with a newer version of Firebase.

If it helps anyone else who also comes across this, there appears to be a fork of the package that has been updated to work with newer Firebase versions.

Thank you to the author of the fork!
