For now you can just install rxjs-compat, which as the name suggests is a compatibility layer between RxJS v5 and v6 and everything seems to work fine.

With rxjs-compat, the whole RxJS gets bundled into the application.

Update: Angular CLI library support is limited at this point.

1. It's very hard to tame it to work with sub-packages (e.g. @ngx-modialog/plugins/bootstrap)
2. It does not support (by design) hot library reloading, i.e. it requires re-compiling and building for every change in the lib then reload the demo app.

I will start working on v6 changes, but again I want to switch this repo to use 100% supported build process so it will probably be nx...

I have to say, that this no hot rebuild thing for libs (2) will not last long the CLI guys will realise it soon enough :)

[shlomiassaf]

ok, repo is angular-cli based, including demo app + libraries and of course cli library build which should make maintenance easier.

I'v also publish to npm, version 6.

There are some issues with the demo site, will work on that.
