Question

How do i execute the following scenario in the browser with RxJs:

• get back the job id
• poll another endpoint e

Answer 1

A small optimization to the excellent answer from @matt-burnell. You can replace the filter and take operators with the first operator as follows

Rx.Observable
  .fromPromise(submitJobToQueue(jobData))
  .flatMap(jobQueueData =>
    Rx.Observable.interval(1000)
      .flatMap(() => pollQueueForResult(jobQueueData.jobId))
      .first(x => x.completed)
      .map(() => 'Completed')
      .timeout(60000, Rx.Observable.throw(new Error('Timeout')))

  )
  .subscribe(
    x => console.log('Result', x),
    x => console.log('Error', x)
  );

Also, for people that may not know, the flatMap operator is an alias for mergeMap in RxJS 5.0.
