I'm trying to avoid nested observables by using forkjoin. The current (nested) version looks like this:
this.http.get('https://testdb1.firebaseio.com/.json').map(res => res.json()).subscribe(data_changes => {
this.http.get('https://testdb2.firebaseio.com/.json').map(res => res.json()).subscribe(data_all => {
/* Do this once resolved */
this.platform.ready().then(() => {
this.storage.set('data_changes', data_changes);
this.storage.set('data_all', data_all);
document.getElementById("chart").innerHTML = "";
this.createChart();
});
});
},
err => {
this.platform.ready().then(() => {
console.log("server error 2");
document.getElementById("chart").innerHTML = "";
this.createChart();
});
});
}
I can rewrite the first part as:
Observable.forkJoin(
this.http.get('https://testdb1.firebaseio.com/.json').map((res: Response) => res.json()),
this.http.get('https://testdb2.firebaseio.com/.json').map((res: Response) => res.json())
)
But i'm not sure how I would then add the .subscribe method to access both data_changes and data_all.
Looking at another example, I know it should look something like .subscribe(res => this.combined = {friends:res[0].friends, customer:res[1]});, but i'm not sure how to adapt this to my example.
Try to use combineLatest instead of forkJoin :
With combineLatest :
const combined = Observable.combineLatest(
this.http.get('https://testdb1.firebaseio.com/.json').map((res: Response) => res.json()),
this.http.get('https://testdb2.firebaseio.com/.json').map((res: Response) => res.json())
)
combined.subscribe(latestValues => {
const [ data_changes , data_all ] = latestValues;
console.log( "data_changes" , data_changes);
console.log( "data_all" , data_all);
});
You can also handle it by forkJoin , but forkJoin will return data when all calls are finished and return result , but in combineLatest When any observable emits a value, emit the latest value from each.
With forkJoin :
const combined = Observable.forkJoin(
this.http.get('https://testdb1.firebaseio.com/.json').map((res: Response) => res.json()),
this.http.get('https://testdb2.firebaseio.com/.json').map((res: Response) => res.json())
)
combined.subscribe(latestValues => {
const [ data_changes , data_all ] = latestValues;
console.log( "data_changes" , data_changes);
console.log( "data_all" , data_all);
});
Call both and check the console log , you will get idea.
