Creating an Observable for Mock Data in Angular 2

Use

return Observable.of(new Object()).mapTo(MOCKDATA);`

The import statement is fine.

import {Observable} from "rxjs/Observable";

Also need to import the ts file for MOCKDATA

import {MOCKDATA} from "../path_to_mockdata";

Looks like

import {Observable} from "rxjs/Observable";

should be

import {Observable} from "rxjs/Rx";
