Property 'do' does not exist on type 'Observable<IProduct[]>'

The problem is not with angular but with rxjs. rxjs introduced breaking changes from rxjs version 6.

To get your code working again without changing any of your code install the following package:

npm install rxjs-compat@6 --save

You should then be able to compile your project. rxjs-compat is meant to be a temporarily solution so you need to update your codebase to work with the new version.

New Import Path

What you need to update:

1. Update import statements from

   import { Observable } from "rxjs/Observable";

   to

   import { Observable } from "rxjs";

2. Update your operator imports from

   import 'rxjs/add/operator/do'

   to

   import { do } from "rxjs/operators";

Renamed Operators

Some operators have also been renamed due to name collisions with JavaScript reserved words. They are

1. do => tap

2. catch => catchError

3. switch => switchAll

4. finally => finalize

No Operator Chaining

You also then can't chain your operators anymore you need to use the pipe operator e.g.

// an operator chainsource  .map(x => x + x)  .mergeMap(n => of(n + 1, n + 2)    .filter(x => x % 1 == 0)    .scan((acc, x) => acc + x, 0)  )  .catch(err => of('error found'))  .subscribe(printResult);

// must be updated to a pipe flowsource.pipe(  map(x => x + x),  mergeMap(n => of(n + 1, n + 2).pipe(    filter(x => x % 1 == 0),    scan((acc, x) => acc + x, 0),  )),  catchError(err => of('error found')),).subscribe(printResult);

I appreciate Tjaart van der Walt's response about how to resolve the "breaking changes" introduced in Angular/rxjs7++. But I still encountered several problems trying to apply his response to my Angular interceptor:

Here is the updated code (the sections that failed to compile are marked "OLD")

import {Injectable} from '@angular/core';import {HttpEvent, HttpInterceptor, HttpResponse} from '@angular/common/http';import {HttpHandler, HttpRequest, HttpErrorResponse} from '@angular/common/http';/*  OLD:  import {Observable} from 'rxjs/Observable';  import 'rxjs/add/operator/do'; */import { Observable } from 'rxjs';import { of } from 'rxjs';import { tap, catchError } from 'rxjs/operators';import { AuthService } from './auth.service';@Injectable()export class StockAppInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {  constructor(private authService: AuthService) {}  intercept(req: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {    if (this.authService.authToken) {      const authReq = req.clone({        headers: req.headers.set(          'Authorization',          this.authService.authToken        )      });      console.log('Making an authorized request');      req = authReq;    }    /*     * OLD:     * return next.handle(req)     *   .do(event => this.handleResponse(req, event),     *      error => this.handleError(req, error));     */    return next.handle(req).pipe(      tap(        event => this.handleResponse(req, event),        error => this.handleError(req, error)      )    );  }  handleResponse(req: HttpRequest<any>, event) {    console.log('Handling response for ', req.url, event);    if (event instanceof HttpResponse) {      console.log('Request for ', req.url,          ' Response Status ', event.status,          ' With body ', event.body);    }  }  handleError(req: HttpRequest<any>, event) {    console.error('Request for ', req.url,          ' Response Status ', event.status,          ' With error ', event.error);  }}

Required changes include changing import paths, and substituting pipe(), tap() and of().

This link is also a good resource for RxJS6 changes:

https://www.academind.com/learn/javascript/rxjs-6-what-changed/

Rxjs 6 has introduced some breaking changes and the "do" operator has been replaced by the "tap" operator (from 'rxjs/internal/operators').

You could refactor your code using the new operator or still use the old 'do' syntax by adding the rxjs-compat library for backward compatibility (npm install --save rxjs-compat).

Note that before RxJs 6 you had to import the 'do' operator :

import 'rxjs/add/operator/do';
