Unsubscribing an array of subscriptions

Question

In an Angular app, I\'m managing my subscriptions by pushing them all into an array, then looping through it and unsubscribing during ngOnDestroy.

Since nobody wants to post their answer as an answer, I guess I'll do it.

If you're only using the array to group them for mass unsubscribing, you can accomplish the same thing by merging them into an existing subscription. For my setup, just change the empty array to an empty subscription and change push to add:

private subscriptions = new Subscription()
this.subscriptions.add(someObservable.subscribe(foo => bar))

Then, when you want to unsubscribe from them all, just unsubscribe from the container subscription and it will handle everything.

ngOnDestroy () {
    this.subscriptions.unsubscribe()
}

Note: you can also use takeUntil on each individual subscription, but I feel like this method is simpler and makes more sense for what I'm doing.
