Updating AngularFire/Firebase project to new RC - @types issue

[jgw96]

Since the new RC uses @types now to install typings, I added the types from Firebase and Angularfire to my project using

npm install @types/firebase --save-dev --save-exact

It saves the types to a folder inside node_modules/@types/firebase and updates the package.json file.

Upon running the project with ionic serve, I get a whole bunch of error TS2503: Cannot find namespace 'firebase'. errors, which was fixable in the previous release with a "files": [ "firebase" ] addition to the tsconfig.json file and then running the typings install command.

Just wondering is there a fix for something similar or an extra step after the npm install?
Do the types for AngularFire/Firebase need to be updated to match the new RC?

Any ideas?

Hello all! Since the namespace error is actually an AngularFire issue I am going to be closing this issue for now. Thanks!
