Rx.Observable.prototype.flatMapLatest(selector, [thisArg])

Ⓢ

Transform the items emitted by an Observable into Observables, and mirror those items emitted by the most-recently transformed Observable.

The flatMapLatest operator is similar to the flatMap and concatMap methods described above, however, rather than emitting all of the items emitted by all of the Observables that the operator generates by transforming items from the source Observable, flatMapLatest instead emits items from each such transformed Observable only until the next such Observable is emitted, then it ignores the previous one and begins emitting items emitted by the new one.

Arguments

1. selector (Function): A transform function to apply to each source element. The callback has the following information:
   1. the value of the element
   2. the index of the element
   3. the Observable object being subscribed
2. [thisArg] (Any): Object to use as this when executing the predicate.

Returns

(Observable): An observable sequence which transforms the items emitted by an Observable into Observables, and mirror those items emitted by the most-recently transformed Observable.

Example

var source = Rx.Observable
  .range(1, 3)
  .flatMapLatest(function(x) {
    return Rx.Observable.from([x + 'a', x + 'b']);
  });

var subscription = source.subscribe(
  function (x) {
    console.log('Next: %s', x);
  },
  function (err) {
    console.log('Error: %s', err);
  },
  function () {
    console.log('Completed');
  });

// Next: 1a
// Next: 2a
// Next: 3a
// Next: 3b
// Completed
