I'm trying to convert an Observable into a BehaviorSubject. Like this:
a$ = new Observable()
b$ = BehaviorSubject.create(new BehaviorSubject(123), a$)
// 🔴
I have also tried:
a$ = new Observable()
b$ = new BehaviorSubject(a$, 123)
// 🔴
And:
a$ = new Observable()
b$ = a$.asBehaviorSubject(123)
// 🔴
And:
a$ = new Observable()
b$ = a$.pipe(
toBehaviorSubject(123)
)
// 🔴
But none of these works. For now I have to implement like this:
a$ = new Observable()
b$ = new BehaviorSubject(123)
a$.subscribe(b$)
// 🔵
This would be a little bit ugly in a class:
class Foo() {
a$ = new Observable() // Actually, a$ is more complicated than this.
b$ = new BehaviorSubject(123)
constructor() {
this.a$.subscribe(this.b$)
}
}
So, is there a simpler way to convert an Observable to a BehaviorSubject without using class constructor?
This is my real case:
export class Foo {
autoCompleteItems$ = new BehaviorSubject<string[]>(null)
autoCompleteSelected$ = new BehaviorSubject<number>(-1)
autoCompleteSelectedChange$ = new Subject<'up'|'down'>()
constructor() {
this.autoCompleteItems$.pipe(
switchMap((items) => {
if (!items) return EMPTY
return this.autoCompleteSelectedChange$.pipe(
startWith('down'),
scan<any, number>((acc, value) => {
if (value === 'up') {
if (acc <= 0) {
return items.length - 1
} else {
return acc - 1
}
} else {
if (acc >= items.length - 1) {
return 0
} else {
return acc + 1
}
}
}, -1)
)
})
).subscribe(this.autoCompleteSelected$)
}
doAutoComplete = () => {
const item = this.autoCompleteItems$.value[this.autoCompleteSelected$.value]
// do something with `item`
}
}
No need to convert it.
Just create a subject and attach observable to it with : observable.subscribe(sub)
example:
var observable = new rxjs.Observable((s) => {setTimeout(()=>{s.next([1])} , 500)})
var subject = new rxjs.BehaviorSubject([0]) //create subject
observable.subscribe(subject) //<----- HERE ----- attach observable to subject
setTimeout(() => {subject.next([2, 3])}, 1500) //subject updated
subject.subscribe(a => console.log(a)) //subscribe to subject
Note: observable.subscribe(subject)
is equivalent to :
observable.subscribe({
next: v => subject.next(v),
error: v => subject.error(v),
complete: () => eturns an observable that is like a behavior subject.complete()
})
