Description Of The Issue

The documented method to import the entire library does not work with webpack/ES6 modules.
From the current docs:

import Rx from 'rxjs/Rx';
Rx.Observable.of(1, 2, 3);

As the Rxjs/Rx package has no default export defined this can't work.
Either the documentation should be updated or the package should have a default export which would classify this as a bug report.

Possible Solution

Update documentation to

import * as Rx from 'rxjs/Rx'
Rx.Observable.of(1, 2, 3);

Environment

• Runtime: node v8.11.1
• RxJS version: 6.2.0
• Tested with react-create-app's defaults
• Tested with own minimal webpack v4.12.0 + ts-loader v4.4.1 setup

I believe the preferred way is now this:

import { of } from 'rxjs';
of(1, 2, 3);
