You can pass either an array of * Observables, or put them directly as arguments. Passing an empty array will result * in Observable that completes immediately. * * `concat` will subscribe to first input Observable and emit all its values, without * changing or affecting them in any way. When that Observable completes, it will * subscribe to then next Observable passed and, again, emit its values. This will be * repeated, until the operator runs out of Observables. When last input Observable completes, * `concat` will complete as well. At any given moment only one Observable passed to operator * emits values. If you would like to emit values from passed Observables concurrently, check out * {@link merge} instead, especially with optional `concurrent` parameter. As a matter of fact, * `concat` is an equivalent of `merge` operator with `concurrent` parameter set to `1`. * * Note that if some input Observable never completes, `concat` will also never complete * and Observables following the one that did not complete will never be subscribed. On the other * hand, if some Observable simply completes immediately after it is subscribed, it will be * invisible for `concat`, which will just move on to the next Observable. * * If any Observable in chain errors, instead of passing control to the next Observable, * `concat` will error immediately as well. Observables that would be subscribed after * the one that emitted error, never will. * * If you pass to `concat` the same Observable many times, its stream of values * will be "replayed" on every subscription, which means you can repeat given Observable * as many times as you like. If passing the same Observable to `concat` 1000 times becomes tedious, * you can always use {@link repeat}. * * ## Examples * * Concatenate a timer counting from 0 to 3 with a synchronous sequence from 1 to 10 * * ```ts * import { interval, take, range, concat } from 'rxjs'; * * const timer = interval(1000).pipe(take(4)); * const sequence = range(1, 10); * const result = concat(timer, sequence); * result.subscribe(x => console.log(x)); * * // results in: * // 0 -1000ms-> 1 -1000ms-> 2 -1000ms-> 3 -immediate-> 1 ... 10 * ``` * * Concatenate 3 Observables * * ```ts * import { interval, take, concat } from 'rxjs'; * * const timer1 = interval(1000).pipe(take(10)); * const timer2 = interval(2000).pipe(take(6)); * const timer3 = interval(500).pipe(take(10)); * * const result = concat(timer1, timer2, timer3); * result.subscribe(x => console.log(x)); * * // results in the following: * // (Prints to console sequentially) * // -1000ms-> 0 -1000ms-> 1 -1000ms-> ... 9 * // -2000ms-> 0 -2000ms-> 1 -2000ms-> ... 5 * // -500ms-> 0 -500ms-> 1 -500ms-> ... 9 * ``` * * Concatenate the same Observable to repeat it * * ```ts * import { interval, take, concat } from 'rxjs'; * * const timer = interval(1000).pipe(take(2)); * * concat(timer, timer) // concatenating the same Observable! * .subscribe({ * next: value => console.log(value), * complete: () => console.log('...and it is done!') * }); * * // Logs: * // 0 after 1s * // 1 after 2s * // 0 after 3s * // 1 after 4s * // '...and it is done!' also after 4s * ``` * * @see {@link concatAll} * @see {@link concatMap} * @see {@link concatMapTo} * @see {@link startWith} * @see {@link endWith} * * @param args Input Observables to concatenate. */ export function concat(...args: any[]): Observable { return concatAll()(from(args, popScheduler(args))); }
