angular 6 ERROR TypeError: items.map is not a function

Hey there, I am using Angular 6 Trying to get the data from the server as this example https://github.com/ng-select/ng-select/blob/master/demo/app/examples/search.component.ts

this is my ng-select :

<ng-select [items]="employees | async" [multiple]="isMultiple" placeholder="Select Employee" [appendTo]="'body'" [(ngModel)]="selectedEmployee" [hideSelected]="true" [loading]="loading" [typeahead]="employeesInput"></ng-select>

I am getting the employees as an observable the same way in the example… but I am getting the error ERROR TypeError: items.map is not a function it is in ng-select.js file, while the items is recieved as a string of my typeahed, but the map is not defined…

and since I am Angular 6 I’ve change the concat as the new RXJS so now it is an operator.
