rxjs-exhaustmap-with-trailing

rxjs-exhaustmap-with-trailing

A variant of RxJS exhaustMap that includes trailing emissions from the source observable.

Just like the exhaustMap() RxJS operator, exhaustMapWithTrailing() will ignore all emissions from source observable as long as the projected observable is pending, but in addition it will include the last emission received from the source observable received before the projected observable completed. Think of it as a combination of exhaustMap() and debounce().

Usage

import {exhaustMapWithTrailing} from "rxjs-exhaustmap-with-trailing"
import {fromEvent, interval} from "rxjs"

const clicks = fromEvent(document, "click")
const result = clicks.pipe(
  exhaustMapWithTrailing((event) =>
    interval(1000).pipe(mapTo({clientX: event.clientX, clientY: event.clientY}))
  )
)
result.subscribe((x) => console.log(x))
