RxJS: MergeMap with Preserving Input order

Question

Requirement:

urls = [url1, url2, url3]

Fire all 3 urls parallely and paint the Dom in the sequnce of the urls list

 ex: Fini         


        

Answer 1

I couldn't find anything that preserves the order so I came up with something a bit convoluted.

const { concat, of, BehaviorSubject, Subject } = rxjs;
const { delay, filter } = rxjs.operators;

const parallelExecute = (...obs$) => {
  const subjects = obs$.map(o$ => {
    const subject$ = new BehaviorSubject();
    const sub = o$.subscribe(o => { subject$.next(o); });
    return { sub: sub, obs$: subject$.pipe(filter(val => val)) };
  });
  const subject$ = new Subject();
  sub(0);
  function sub(index) {
    const current = subjects[index];
    current.obs$.subscribe(c => {
      subject$.next(c);
      current.obs$.complete();
      current.sub.unsubscribe();
      if (index < subjects.length -1) {
        sub(index + 1);
      } else {
        subject$.complete();
      }
    });
  }
  return subject$;
}


parallelExecute(
  of(1).pipe(delay(3000)),
  of(2).pipe(delay(2000)),
  of(3).pipe(delay(1000))
).subscribe(result => { console.log(result); });
