Observable

A representation of any set of values over any amount of time. This is the most basic building block of RxJS.

  pipe(...operations: OperatorFunction<any, any>[]): Observable<any>
  toPromise(promiseCtor?: PromiseConstructorLike): Promise<T>
}

We can also create our own observables. We can create our observable using the following snippet code:

For a better understanding about the following example we use a promise to make it work as expected. Please click here for more info:

// Custom observable
const https$ = new Observable((observer: Observer<any>) => {
    fetch('/api/courses')
        .then(response => {
            return response.json();
        })
        .then(body => {
            observer.next(body);
            observer.complete();
        })
        .catch(err => {
            observer.error(err);
        });
});

// Observable subscription
https$.subscribe(
    courses => console.log(courses),
    noop,
    () => console.log('Completed')
);
