Marking peer support for NG12

Mostly just build process and testing stuff.

Hi @jamesdaniels , I saw that you commented line 18 of server.ts import 'dir-loader!./firestore-protos';.
I added this line myself to deal with the protos for firebase dependencies on the server. But with ng12 and webpack 5 under the hood, I've been struggling quite much with protos stuff. I tried to remove just like you this line with dir-loader, but I encounter other errors (also tried the externalDependencies in angular.json). But none of this works for me.

Do you have some clues on how to replace the dir-loader thing with Angular 12 which supports webpack 5 (related to Assets modules?). I don't have any webpack.config.js.

I made an alternative now that we can't lean on dir-loader, import '@angular/fire/firestore-protos';

Hi @jamesdaniels,

Thanks for coming back to me. Sure thing, I'll try that. But, just to be clear, I suppose it is only in the v7 of AngularFire, right ? Or is it ported back into v6.1.5 ?

[jamesdaniels]

@johanchouquet I did not port backwards no. One could use a similar strategy though, see my build script for its construction if your not ready for the upgrade.

Sure thing, I'll check it out. Thanks @jamesdaniels.
