take(), takeLast(), first(), last(), those opreators all take number or no param. takeUtil and takeWhile will take Observalbe and function.
takeUntil(notifier: Observable): Stop when another observalbe happens
var foo = Rx.Observable.interval(1000); var btn = document.querySelector('#stop'); var stop$ = Rx.Observable.fromEvent(btn, 'click'); /* --0--1--2--3--4--5--6--7--... takeUntil() --0--1--2--3--4| */ var bar = foo.takeUntil(stop$); bar.subscribe( function (x) { console.log('next ' + x); }, function (err) { console.log('error ' + err); }, function () { console.log('done'); }, ); /* "next 0" "next 1" "next 2" "next 3" "next 4" "done" */
takeWhile(predicate: function): Abort when it meets the predicate function.
var foo = Rx.Observable.interval(1000); /* --0--1--2--3--4--5--6--7--... takeWhile(x => x < 3) --0--1--2--| */ var bar = foo.takeWhile((x)=>{ return x<3; }); bar.subscribe( function (x) { console.log('next ' + x); }, function (err) { console.log('error ' + err); }, function () { console.log('done'); }, ); /* "next 0" "next 1" "next 2" "done" */
