RxJS (Reactive Extensions Library for JavaScript)

RxJS is a library for reactive programming using Observables, to make it easier to compose asynchronous or callback-based code.

Installation

npm install rxjs

Importing

'rxjs' - for example: import { of } from 'rxjs';

'rxjs/operators' - for example: import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';

'rxjs/ajax' - for example: import { ajax } from 'rxjs/ajax';

'rxjs/fetch' - for example: import { fromFetch } from 'rxjs/fetch';

'rxjs/webSocket' - for example: import { webSocket } from 'rxjs/webSocket';

'rxjs/testing' - for example: import { TestScheduler } from 'rxjs/testing';

Observables

Observables are declarative which provide support for passing messages between publishers and subscribers.

// pipe

// subscribe
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

const observable = new Observable((subscriber) => {
  subscriber.next(1);
  subscriber.next(2);
  subscriber.next(3);
  setTimeout(() => {
    subscriber.next(4);
    subscriber.complete();
  }, 1000);
});
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

const observable = new Observable((subscriber) => {
  subscriber.next(1);
  subscriber.next(2);
  subscriber.next(3);
  setTimeout(() => {
    subscriber.next(4);
    subscriber.complete();
  }, 1000);
});

console.log('just before subscribe');
observable.subscribe({
  next(x) {
    console.log('got value ' + x);
  },
  error(err) {
    console.error('something wrong occurred: ' + err);
  },
  complete() {
    console.log('done');
  },
});
console.log('just after subscribe');

Observer

An Observer is a consumer of values delivered by an Observable. Observers are simply a set of callbacks, one for each type of notification delivered by the Observable: next, error, and complete.

// next

// error

// complete
const observer = {
  next: x => console.log('Observer got a next value: ' + x),
  error: err => console.error('Observer got an error: ' + err),
  complete: () => console.log('Observer got a complete notification'),
};
observable.subscribe(observer);

Operators

Operators are functions. There are two kinds of operators:

Pipeable Operators are the kind that can be piped to Observables using the syntax observableInstance.pipe(operator()).

Creation Operators are the other kind of operator, which can be called as standalone functions to create a new Observable.

Categories of operators

Creation Operators

Theses operators are used to create an observable. Some of the creation operators are:

  • ajax
  • bindCallback
  • bindNodeCallback
  • defer
  • empty
  • from
  • fromEvent
  • fromEventPattern
  • generate
  • interval
  • of
  • range
  • throwError
  • timer
  • iif

ajax - It creates an observable for an Ajax request with either a request object with url, headers, etc or a string for a URL.

Example with Angular:

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { ajax } from 'rxjs/ajax';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `
    <h1>ajax Example</h1>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {
  ngOnInit() {
    const githubUsers = ajax('https://api.github.com/users?per_page=2');
    githubUsers.subscribe((res) => console.log(res.status, res.response));
  }
}

bootstrapApplication(App);

Example with TypeScript:

import { ajax } from 'rxjs/ajax';

const githubUsers = ajax('https://api.github.com/users?per_page=2');
githubUsers.subscribe((res) => console.log(res.status, res.response));

bindCallback - bindCallback operator is used to convert a callback-style function into an observable.

It allows you to work with asynchronous APIs that follow the Node.js-style callback pattern, where the last argument of a function is a callback function that is invoked with the result or error.

bindNodeCallback - bindNodeCallback is a function that converts a Node.js-style callback function into an Observable.

Example with Angular:

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { bindNodeCallback  } from 'rxjs/ajax';

// Assume we have a Node.js-style callback function for file reading
function readFileAsync(filePath: string, callback: (error: Error | null, data: string) => void) {
  // Some asynchronous file reading logic
  // Call the callback with the error (if any) and the file data
  setTimeout(() => {
    if (filePath === '/path/to/file.txt') {
      callback(null, 'File content goes here');
    } else {
      callback(new Error('File not found'), null);
    }
  }, 2000);
}

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `
    <h1>bindNodeCallback Example</h1>
    <div>{{ fileContent }}</div>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {
  
  fileContent: string;

  ngOnInit() {
    const readFile = bindNodeCallback(readFileAsync);
    const filePath = '/path/to/file.txt';

    const readFile$ = readFile(filePath);

    readFile$.subscribe(
      (data: string) => {
        this.fileContent = data;
        console.log('File content:', data);
      },
      (error: Error) => {
        console.error('Error reading file:', error);
      }
    );
  }
}

  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `<h1>defer operator</h1>`,
})
export class App implements OnInit {

  ngOnInit() {
    const s1 = of(new Date()); //will capture current date time
    const s2 = defer(() => of(new Date())); //will capture date time at the moment of subscription

    console.log(new Date());

Filtering Operators

These operators allow you to filter the values emitted by Observables. Some of the most commonly used filtering operators are:

  • audit
  • auditTime
  • debounce
  • debounceTime
  • distinct
  • distinctUntilChanged
  • distinctUntilKeyChanged
  • elementAt
  • filter
  • first
  • ignoreElements
  • last
  • sample
  • sampleTime
  • single
  • skip
  • skipLast
  • skipUntil
  • skipWhile
  • take
  • takeLast
  • takeUntil
  • takeWhile
  • throttle
  • throttleTime

audit - Ignores source values for a duration determined by another Observable, then emits the most recent value from the source Observable, then repeats this process.

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { fromEvent, audit, interval } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `
    <h1>audit operator</h1>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {
  ngOnInit() {
    const clicks = fromEvent(document, 'click');
    const result = clicks.pipe(audit(ev => interval(1000)));
    result.subscribe(x => console.log(x));
  }
}

Join Operators

The join operators are used to combine the emissions of multiple Observables. Some of the join operators are:

  • combineLatestAll
  • concatAll
  • exhaustAll
  • mergeAll
  • switchAll
  • startWith
  • withLatestFrom

combineLatestAll - Flattens an Observable-of-Observables by applying combineLatest when the Observable-of-Observables completes.

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { fromEvent, map, interval, take, combineLatestAll } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `
    <h1>combineLatestAll Example</h1>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {

  ngOnInit() {
    const clicks = fromEvent(document, 'click');
    const higherOrder = clicks.pipe(
      map(() => interval(Math.random() * 2000).pipe(take(3))),
      take(2)
    );
    const result = higherOrder.pipe(combineLatestAll());

    result.subscribe(x => console.log(x));
  }
}

bootstrapApplication(App);

concatAll - Converts a higher-order Observable into a first-order Observable by concatenating the inner Observables in order.

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { fromEvent, map, interval, take, concatAll } from 'rxjs';

Multicasting Operators

These operators are used to share the observable execution among multiple subscribers. Some of the multicasting operators are:

  • multicast
  • publish
  • publishBehavior
  • publishLast
  • publishReplay
  • share

multicast - Returns an Observable that emits the results of invoking a specified selector on items emitted by a ConnectableObservable that shares a single subscription to the underlying stream.

Link

publish - Returns a ConnectableObservable, which is a variety of Observable that waits until its connect method is called before it begins emitting items to those Observers that have subscribed to it.

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { zip, interval, of, map, publish, merge, tap } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `
    <h1>publish Example</h1>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {

  ngOnInit() {
    const source$ = zip(interval(2000), of(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9))
      .pipe(map(([, number]) => number));
    
    source$
      .pipe(
        publish(multicasted$ =>
          merge(
            multicasted$.pipe(tap(x => console.log('Stream 1:', x))),
            multicasted$.pipe(tap(x => console.log('Stream 2:', x))),
            multicasted$.pipe(tap(x => console.log('Stream 3:', x)))
          )
        )
      )
      .subscribe();
  }
}

bootstrapApplication(App);

publishBehavior - Creates a ConnectableObservable that utilizes a BehaviorSubject.

Link

publishLast - Returns a connectable observable sequence that shares a single subscription to the underlying sequence containing only the last notification.

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { ConnectableObservable, interval, publishLast, tap, take } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `
    <h1>publishLast Example</h1>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {

  ngOnInit() {
    const connectable = <ConnectableObservable<number>>interval(1000)
      .pipe(
        tap(x => console.log('side effect', x)),
        take(3),
        publishLast()
      );
    
    connectable.subscribe({
      next: x => console.log('Sub. A', x),
      error: err => console.log('Sub. A Error', err),
      complete: () => console.log('Sub. A Complete')
    });
    
    connectable.subscribe({
      next: x => console.log('Sub. B', x),
      error: err => console.log('Sub. B Error', err),
      complete: () => console.log('Sub. B Complete')
    });
    
    connectable.connect();
  }
}

bootstrapApplication(App);

publishReplay - Returns a connectable observable sequence that shares a single subscription to the underlying sequence replaying all notifications.

Link

share - Returns a new Observable that multicasts (shares) the original Observable. As long as there is at least one Subscriber this Observable will be subscribed and emitting data. When all subscribers have unsubscribed it will unsubscribe from the source Observable. Because the Observable is multicasting it makes the stream hot. This is an alias for multicast(() => new Subject()), refCount().

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { interval, tap, map, take, share } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `
    <h1>share Example</h1>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {

  ngOnInit() {
    const source = interval(1000).pipe(
      tap(x => console.log('Processing: ', x)),
      map(x => x * x),
      take(6),
      share()
    );
    
    source.subscribe(x => console.log('subscription 1: ', x));
    source.subscribe(x => console.log('subscription 2: ', x));
  }
}

Error Handling Operators

These operators are used to handle errors that occur in the observable sequence. Some of the error handling operators are:

  • catchError
  • retry
  • retryWhen

catchError - Catches errors on the observable to be handled by returning a new observable or throwing an error.

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { of, map, catchError } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `
    <h1>catchError Example</h1>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {

  ngOnInit() {
    of(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
      .pipe(
        map(n => {
          if (n === 4) {
            throw 'four!';
          }
          return n;
        }),
        catchError(err => of('I', 'II', 'III', 'IV', 'V'))
      )
      .subscribe(x => console.log(x));
  }
}

bootstrapApplication(App);

retry - Returns an Observable that mirrors the source Observable with the exception of an error.

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { interval, mergeMap, throwError, of, retry } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `
    <h1>retry Example</h1>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {

  ngOnInit() {
    const source = interval(1000);
    const result = source.pipe(
      mergeMap(val => val > 5 ? throwError(() => 'Error!') : of(val)),
      retry(2) // retry 2 times on error
    );
    
    result.subscribe({
      next: value => console.log(value),
      error: err => console.log(`${ err }: Retried 2 times then quit!`)
    });
    
    // Output:
    // 0..1..2..3..4..5..
    // 0..1..2..3..4..5..
    // 0..1..2..3..4..5..
    // 'Error!: Retried 2 times then quit!'
  }
}

bootstrapApplication(App);

retryWhen - Returns an Observable that mirrors the source Observable with the exception of an error. If the source Observable calls error, this method will emit the Throwable that caused the error to the ObservableInput returned from notifier. If that Observable calls complete or error then this method will call complete or error on the child subscription. Otherwise this method will resubscribe to the source Observable.

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { interval, map, retryWhen, tap, delayWhen, timer } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `
    <h1>retryWhen Example</h1>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {

  ngOnInit() {
    const source = interval(1000);
    const result = source.pipe(
      map(value => {
        if (value > 5) {
          // error will be picked up by retryWhen
          throw value;
        }
        return value;
      }),
      retryWhen(errors =>
        errors.pipe(
          // log error message
          tap(value => console.log(`Value ${ value } was too high!`)),
          // restart in 5 seconds
          delayWhen(value => timer(value * 1000))
        )
      )
    );
    
    result.subscribe(value => console.log(value));
    
    // results:
    // 0
    // 1
    // 2
    // 3
    // 4
    // 5
    // 'Value 6 was too high!'
    // - Wait 5 seconds then repeat
  }

Mathematical and Aggregate Operators

Theses operators are used to perform mathematical operations on the source observable. Some of the operators are:

  • count
  • max
  • min
  • reduce

count - Counts the number of emissions on the source and emits that number when the source completes.

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { interval, fromEvent, takeUntil, count } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `
    <h1>count operator</h1>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {
  ngOnInit() {
    const seconds = interval(1000);
    const clicks = fromEvent(document, 'click');
    const secondsBeforeClick = seconds.pipe(takeUntil(clicks));
    const result = secondsBeforeClick.pipe(count());
    result.subscribe(x => console.log(x));
  }
}

bootstrapApplication(App);

max - The max operator operates on an Observable that emits numbers (or items that can be compared with a provided function), and when source Observable completes it emits a single item: the item with the largest value.

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { of, max } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `
    <h1>max operator</h1>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {
  ngOnInit() {
    of(5, 4, 7, 2, 8)
      .pipe(max())
      .subscribe(x => console.log(x));
  }
}

bootstrapApplication(App);

min - The min operator operates on an Observable that emits numbers (or items that can be compared with a provided function), and when source Observable completes it emits a single item: the item with the smallest value.

Example of Min in RxJS:

import { of } from 'rxjs';
import { min } from 'rxjs/operators';

const source = of(5, 4, 7, 2, 8);
const example = source.pipe(min());
example.subscribe(x => console.log(x));

// Output: 2

Example of Min in Angular:

import 'zone.js/dist/zone';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { of, min } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  template: `
      <h1>Example of Min in Angular</h1>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {
  ngOnInit() {
    of(5, 4, 7, 2, 8)
      .pipe(min())
      .subscribe(x => console.log(x));
  }
}

bootstrapApplication(App);

reduce - Applies an accumulator function over the source Observable, and returns the accumulated result when the source completes, given an optional seed value.

Example of Reduce in RxJS:

import { of } from 'rxjs';
import { reduce } from 'rxjs/operators';

const source = of(1, 2, 3, 4);
const example = source.pipe(reduce((acc, val) => acc + val, 0));
example.subscribe(console.log);

// Output: 10

Stackblitz Example Link

Example of Reduce in Angular:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { of, reduce } from 'rxjs';
import 'zone.js';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  template: `
      <h1>Example of Reduce in Angular</h1>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {
  ngOnInit() {
    const source = of(1, 2, 3, 4);
    const example = source.pipe(reduce((acc, val) => acc + val, 0));
    example.subscribe(console.log);
  }
}

Subscription

A Subscription is an object that represents a disposable resource, usually the execution of an Observable.

Example of Subscription in RxJS:

import { interval } from 'rxjs';

const observable = interval(1000);
const subscription = observable.subscribe(x => console.log(x));

subscription.unsubscribe();

Example of Subscription in Angular:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { interval } from 'rxjs';
import 'zone.js';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  template: `
      <h1>subscription in Angular</h1>
  `,
})
export class App implements OnInit {
  subscription: any;

  ngOnInit() {
    const observable = interval(1000);
    this.subscription = observable.subscribe((x) => console.log(x));
  }

  ngOnDestroy() {
    this.subscription.unsubscribe();
  }
}

Subject

An RxJS Subject is a special type of Observable that allows values to be multicasted to many Observers.

Example of Subject in RxJS:

import { Subject } from 'rxjs';

const subject = new Subject<number>();

subject.subscribe({
  next: (v) => console.log(`observerA: ${v}`)
});
subject.subscribe({
  next: (v) => console.log(`observerB: ${v}`)
});

subject.next(1);
subject.next(2);

export class App implements OnInit {
  subject = new Subject<number>();

  ngOnInit() {
    this.subject.subscribe({
      next: (v) => console.log(`observerA: ${v}`),
    });
    this.subject.subscribe({
      next: (v) => console.log(`observerB: ${v}`),
    });

    this.subject.next(1);
    this.subject.next(2);
  }
}

Scheduler

A Scheduler lets you define in what execution context will an Observable deliver notifications to its Observer.

Example of Scheduler in RxJS:

import { asyncScheduler } from 'rxjs';

console.log('before');

asyncScheduler.schedule(() => {
  console.log('asyncScheduler');
});

console.log('after');
