[RxJS] Starting a Stream with SwitchMap & switchMapTo-优快云博客

本文介绍如何利用RxJS中的switchMap操作符简化事件流处理。通过示例代码展示了当点击按钮时启动定时任务输出计数的过程，并比较了switchMap与switchMapTo的区别。此外还介绍了在HTTP事件流中使用switchMap取消前一个HTTP请求的方法。

From an event map to another event we can use switchMap(), switchMap() accept an function which return an obervable.

The following code: When you click the button, it will start a interval to console out the count...

const Observable = Rx.Observable;

const startButton = document.querySelector('#start');


const start$ = Rx.Observable.fromEvent(startButton, 'click');
const interval$ = Observable.interval(400);

const startInterval$ = start$.switchMap( () => {
  return interval$;
});

startInterval$.subscribe( (x) => {
   console.log(x);
});

So the start$ switch map to a interval$ to avoid writting the nested subscribe function.

switchMap() actually is pretty useful when dealing with http event stream, it can help to cancel the previous http call.

switchMapTo(): which accept an observable:

/*
const startInterval$ = start$.switchMap( () => {
  return interval$;
});*/

const startInterval$ = start$.switchMapTo( interval$ );

Tow pieces of code, works the same way.
