If the source observable does not emit one value or complete, you will * end up with a promise that is hung up, and potentially all of the state of an * async function hanging out in memory. To avoid this situation, look into adding * something like {@link timeout}, {@link take}, {@link takeWhile}, or {@link takeUntil} * amongst others. * * ## Example * * Wait for the first value from a stream and emit it from a promise in * an async function * * ```ts * import { interval, firstValueFrom } from 'rxjs'; * * async function execute() { * const source$ = interval(2000); * const firstNumber = await firstValueFrom(source$); * console.log(`The first number is ${ firstNumber }`); * } * * execute(); * * // Expected output: * // 'The first number is 0' * ``` * * @see {@link lastValueFrom} * * @param source the observable to convert to a promise * @param config a configuration object to define the `defaultValue` to use if the source completes without emitting a value */ export function firstValueFrom(source: Observable, config?: FirstValueFromConfig): Promise { const hasConfig = typeof config === 'object'; return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { const subscriber = new SafeSubscriber({ next: (value) => { resolve(value); subscriber.unsubscribe(); }, error: reject, complete: () => { if (hasConfig) { resolve(config!.defaultValue); } else { reject(new EmptyError()); } }, }); source.subscribe(subscriber); }); }
