A typical use case for RxJS is creating HTTP requests and caching their results for some period of time. Also, we always want to run only one request at a time and share its response. For example the following code caches 1 item for max. 1000ms: var updateRequest = Observable.defer(() => makeMo...

A common usecase is to discard certain rest-calls, that are not needed any more after certain user-inputs. The most prominent example would be, when a user uses some search-function, makes a request, makes another request and for some reason the first request arrives after the second request and the...

A very common use-case in web applications is performing multiple asynchronous (eg. HTTP) requests and gathering their results as they arrive or all of them at once (eg. in Angular2 with the HTTP service). 1. Gathering async responses one by one as they arrive This is typically done with mergeMap(...

Making a sequence of HTTP requests has two primary reasons: Requests are depending on each other (the result from one requests is required for a consecutive request). We want to spread server load into multiple requests. 1. Making multiple dependent requests This can be performed usi...

A common problem with remote services is rate limiting. The remote service allows us to send only a limited number of requests or amount of data per time period. In RxJS 5 a very similar functionality is provided by the bufferTime operator and especially if we leave the second parameter unspecified...
