take(1) vs first()

by

I found a few implementation of AuthGuards that use take(1). In my project, I used first().

Do both work the same way?

import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/first';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { CanActivate, Router, ActivatedRouteSnapshot, RouterStateSnapshot } from '@angular/router';
import { AngularFire } from 'angularfire2';

@Injectable()
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {

    constructor(private angularFire: AngularFire, private router: Router) { }

    canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot): Observable<boolean> | boolean {
        return this.angularFire.auth.map(
            (auth) =>  {
                if (auth) {
                    this.router.navigate(['/dashboard']);
                    return false;
                } else {
                    return true;
                }
            }
        ).first(); // Just change this to .take(1)
    }
}
