RxJS - Operators


Previous Page Next Page  

Operators are an important part of RxJS. An operator is a pure function that takes in observable as input and the output is also an observable.

Working with Operators

An operator is a pure function which takes in observable as input and the output is also an observable.

To work with operators we need a pipe() method.

Example of using pipe()


let obs = of(1,2,3); // an observable
obs.pipe(
   operator1(),
   operator2(),
   operator3(),
   operator3(),
)

In above example we have created a observable using of() method that takes in values 1, 2 and 3. Now on this observable you can perform different operation using any numbers of operators using pipe() method as shown above. The execution of operators will go on sequentially on the observable given.

Below is a working example −


import { of } from  rxjs ;
import { map, reduce, filter } from  rxjs/operators ;

let test1 = of(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10);
let case1 = test1.pipe(
   filter(x => x % 2 === 0),
   reduce((acc, one) => acc + one, 0)
)
case1.subscribe(x => console.log(x));

Output


30

In above example, we have used filter operator that, filters the even numbers and, next we have used reduce() operator that will add the even values and give the result when subscribed.

Here is a pst of Observables that we are going to discuss.

Mathematical Operators

The following are the operators we are going to discuss in the Mathematical operator category −

Sr.No Operator & Description

3 Min

Min method will take in an observable with all values and return an observable with the min value.

4 Reduce

In reduce operator, accumulator function is used on the input observable, and the accumulator function will return the accumulated value in the form of an observable, with an optional seed value passed to the accumulator function.

The reduce() function will take in 2 arguments, one accumulator function, and second the seed value.

Join Operators

The following are the operators we are going to discuss in the Join operator category.

Sr.No Operator & Description
1 concat

This operator will sequentially emit the Observable given as input and proceed to the next one.

2 forkJoin

4 race

It will give back an observable that will be a mirror copy of the first source observable.

Transformation Operators

The following are the operators we are going to discuss in the Transformation operator category.

Sr.No Operator & Description
1 buffer

The buffer operates on an observable and takes in argument as an observable. It will start buffering the values emitted on its original observable in an array and will emit the same when the observable taken as argument, emits. Once the observable taken as arguments emits, the buffer is reset and starts buffering again on original till the input observable emits and the same scenario repeats.

2 bufferCount

In the case of buffercount() operator, it will collect the values from the observable on which it is called and emit the same when the buffer size given to buffercount matches.

3 bufferTime

This is similar to bufferCount, so here, it will collect the values from the observable on which it is called and emit the bufferTimeSpan is done. It takes in 1 argument i.e. bufferTimeSpan.

4 bufferToggle

In the case of bufferToggle() it takes 2 arguments, openings and closingSelector. The opening arguments are subscribable or a promise to start the buffer and the second argument closingSelector is again subscribable or promise an indicator to close the buffer and emit the values collected.

5 bufferWhen

This operator will give the values in the array form, it takes in one argument as a function that will decide when to close, emit and reset the buffer.

6 expand

The expand operator takes in a function as an argument which is appped on the source observable recursively and also on the output observable. The final value is an observable.

7 groupBy

In groupBy operator, the output is grouped based on a specific condition and these group items are emitted as GroupedObservable.

8 map

In the case of map operator, a project function is appped on each value on the source Observable and the same output is emitted as an Observable.

9 mapTo

A constant value is given as output along with the Observable every time the source Observable emits a value.

10 mergeMap

In the case of mergeMap operator, a project function is appped on each source value and the output of it is merged with the output Observable.

11 switchMap

In the case of switchMap operator, a project function is appped on each source value and the output of it is merged with the output Observable, and the value given is the most recent projected Observable.

12 window

It takes an argument windowboundaries which is an observable and gives back a nested observable whenever the given windowboundaries emits

Filtering Operators

The following are the operators we are going to discuss in the filtering operator category.

Sr.No Operator & Description
1 debounce

A value emitted from the source Observable after a while and the emission is determined by another input given as Observable or promise.

2 debounceTime

It will emit value from the source observable only after the time is complete.

3 distinct

This operator will give all the values from the source observable that are distinct when compared with the previous value.

4 elementAt

This operator will give a single value from the source observable based upon the index given.

5 filter

This operator will filter the values from source Observable based on the predicate function given.

6 first

This operator will give the first value emitted by the source Observable.

7 last

This operator will give the last value emitted by the source Observable.

8 ignoreElements

Sr.No Operator & Description
1 tap

This operator will have the output, the same as the source observable, and can be used to log the values to the user from the observable. The main value, error if any or if the task is complete.

2 delay

This operator delays the values emitted from the source Observable based on the timeout given.

3 delayWhen

This operator delays the values emitted from the source Observable based on the timeout from another observable taken as input.

4 observeOn
