Angularfire: FieldValue and its increment methods

[kakurala]

Incrementing number fields is multi-step process now. In last firebase javascript api FieldValue.increment has been added, I feel its good to add that feature in angularfire2 too.

Incrementing will work in AngularFire today, you just need to upgrade your Firebase dependency.

How?

Is this working? I don't see this.afStore.firestore.FieldValue.increment available. Am I doing something wrong?

[arjunyel]

Y'all will have to use the JS SDK for that part

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { AngularFirestore } from '@angular/fire/firestore';
import * as firebase from 'firebase/app';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss'],
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor(private readonly af: AngularFirestore) {}

  async ngOnInit() {
    await this.af.collection('test').add({
      test: firebase.firestore.FieldValue.increment(1),
    });
  }
}
