Angular 2 Angular RXJS Subjects and Observables with API requests Wait for multiple requests
Example
One common scenario is to wait for a number of requests to finish before continuing. This can be accomplished using the forkJoin method.
In the following example, forkJoin is used to call two methods that return Observables. The callback specified in the .subscribe method will be called when both Observables complete. The parameters supplied by .subscribe match the order given in the call to .forkJoin. In this case, first posts then tags.
loadData() : void {
Observable.forkJoin(
this.blogApi.getPosts(),
this.blogApi.getTags()
).subscribe((([posts, tags]: [Post[], Tag[]]) => {
this.posts = posts;
this.tags = tags;
}));
}
