NullInjectorError: No provider for AngularFirestore

I'm learning Angular looking for help in fixing the error: I'm following this link : https://github.com/angular/angularfire2/blob/master/docs/install-and-setup.md to create a angular small app with angular2 and angularfirestore2

but when I hit ng serve I am getting the below error in browser console..

StaticInjectorError[AngularFirestore]: 
  StaticInjectorError[AngularFirestore]: 
    NullInjectorError: No provider for AngularFirestore!

    at NgModuleRef_.get (core.js:11806)
    at resolveDep (core.js:12302)

I tried googling it but didn't find the exact solution nothing worked for me :(,

Here is what I followed: 1) Installed Node Version 8.9.1 2) npm install -g @angular/cli --> Version 1.5.2 3) ng new 'project-name' 4) npm install angularfire2 firebase --save

Here are my app.module.ts file:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { AngularFireModule } from 'angularfire2';
import { environment } from '../environments/environment';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AngularFireModule.initializeApp(environment.firebase)
  ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule {}

app.component.ts:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { AngularFirestore } from 'angularfire2/firestore';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'app';
  constructor(db: AngularFirestore) {}
}

environemnt.ts:

export const environment = {
  production: false,
  firebase: {
    apiKey: 'xxxxx',
    authDomain: 'aaaaaaa',
    databaseURL: 'bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb',
    projectId: 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaa',
    storageBucket: 'aaaaaaaaaaaa',
    messagingSenderId: 'aaaaaaaaaaaaa'
  }
};

then ng serve, and I am getting the above error...


You should add providers: [AngularFirestore] in app.module.ts.

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AngularFireModule.initializeApp(environment.firebase)
  ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  providers: [AngularFirestore],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule {}

I had same issue and below is resolved.

Old Service Code:

@Injectable()

Updated working Service Code:

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})

Open: ./src/app/app.module.ts
And import Firebase Modules at the top:

import { environment } from '../environments/environment';
import { AngularFireModule } from 'angularfire2';
import { AngularFirestoreModule } from 'angularfire2/firestore';

And VERY IMPORTANT:
Remember to update 'imports' in NgModule:

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    OtherComponent // Add other components here
    ...
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AngularFireModule.initializeApp(environment.firebase, 'your-APP-name-here'),
    AngularFirestoreModule
  ],
  ...
})

Give it a try, it shall now work.
For detailed information follow the angularfire2 documentation:
https://github.com/angular/angularfire2/blob/master/docs/install-and-setup.md
Good luck!
